I envy you guys!

Ordered my 15"/2GHz/16GB RAM/256GB SSD right after the keynote (actually before it was ended, the store was up a few minutes before the keynote ended), and it's not shipped yet :confused::eek: Still "processing".

Man, I'm as frustrated as you are. Still waiting for my 13-inch BTO bought on the 22nd to change from processing.
 
I ordered within 30 minutes of the store going live after the event and didn't pay extra for shipping and just got it delievered in Boston this morning. I was pretty surprised that it came so soon all the way from China. It went to Anchorage, Kentucky, Maine, then Mass, all within 2 days with standard shipping.

Only if Apple paid extra for that.

All UPS locations in the U.S. deliver on Saturday, even for a ground shipping.
FedEX and USPS as well.

Some int'l UPS, DHL locations even deliver on Sunday.


BTW, I'm tracking mine like hardcore. :D
I found a flight information of UPS cargo that may has some of you guys' as well on it.
I'm pretty sure that mine is onboard, departed Shanghai Pudong Int'l Airport, departure scan by Oct. 24, 8:54 P.M local time.

I'm in the same boat... Looking at the multiple posts it seems like only the default models have been shipped/delivered, I've not seen any post from a BTO model being shipped yet.

And it's frustrating, since all my local Apple Stores have almost all five default configurations in stock, but none with BTO options.

It's an extra-cost service for all but USPS though, so it still depends on whether Apple paid the extra money.

Go on the rMBP BTO thread, others are posting that theirs have gone to prepare shipment and/or shipped. Still waiting on mine, though.

You are freaking awesome! This beats refreshing the UPS page and seeing nothing.

My rMBP is on the same flight :) Guessing it will be split up at Alaska?

So it will arrive at 1PM local time alaska, they will have more than enough time to get it on a plane tonight to the local depots! So small chance we will get it tomo? :D

Ordered the 15" rMBP 2.3/512/16 on Tuesday 10/22 at 6:00pm. It shipped out yesterday morning but sat in China all day. It had an export scan a few hours ago and a departure scan about an hour ago out of Shanghai. My guess is that it's on this flight.

Mine was on that flight yesterday and delivered today.

It will leave Alaska and get into Louiseville around 1 - 2 AM EST, then move on to another plane and hopefully get to the final destination before they load the trucks.

Mine was delivered this afternoon :D and I'm just running through the set-up process to transfer files across from my Windows Business laptop.

MBP looks fantastic and has been totally silent since booting up for the first time over an hour ago.......lost count of the times my windows laptop has spun up the cooling fans during the same time, even though its simply transferring data and doing nothing intensive :rolleyes:

Who delivers it? I have a tracking number with Syncreon, but would like to track on courier site.
 
California resident here. Ordered the high end 15" rmbp through Bhphotovideo.com because they dont charge tax.

I originally emailed then asking if they price match apple's student rates, which is $2399 for the high end with 2.3 ghz. They said they don't but made an offer of $2550 shipped if I can provide my student ID. I countered with $2500 and they accepted.

So I got the high end rmbp for $2500 SHIPPED NO TAX.

Saved around $400 with 15 minutes of negotiating. I'd say sweet score overall :D
 
Fully maxed with integrated graphics

Decided to go with the Iris Pro integrated graphics for my photography, looking for better battery life and less heat and noise. Delivery expected 10/30

Mine arrived in Louisville at 1:27 AM EST, left for Chicago at 4:44 AM EST, Arrived in Chicago at 4:50 AM CST and then was on the truck for delivery at 7:09 AM CST
 
Just placed a hold for pickup for my package.
UPS guys won't stop by my place until 3 to 5 P.M. -ish most in case, so I decided to place it to be held at the warehouse.
Agent told me that I will be able to pick it up by tomorrow but they are like opening the customer center (which is attached to the warehouse) by 4:30 for pickup.
but I'm still pretty sure that I can just walk in to the warehouse whenever I want and ask them to let me pick it up like last time I did :D

The reason why they go through Alaska is that cost less jet fuel with no critical time addition. cost efficiency is important, as always ;)
It will stop by in Alaska, and then will head down to Louisville, KY, where UPS Int'l hub is. That's where the split happens most in case :D
After then, mine will head down to GA with another plane, hopefully!

Arrived in Alaska!

Now to see where it takes the shipment to.

Are you sure they ship on Saturdays? Because that will be freaking awesome!
I have renewed hope now! :D

Also, pretty sure it will arrive in California by tomorrow so I wonder if I can just do a pickup. How would I know where exactly to go though? Which UPS location? Do I just give them a call and ask them?
