Mine got serious backlight bleeding
I can't understand why there are still issues with the screens on these premium machines
Luckily, I can get the screen replaced right in the store. Takes about 15 minutes. So no need for sending it in, or wait for a replacement. So I don't have to be without a Mac for days/weeks
(and don't need to reinstall a new machine). that's pretty neat!

I don't know if I would want my screen replaced cause I've heard stories where they replace it and leave scratches, personally I would get a new one since you are within your 14 days, I wouldn't want someone touching or messing with it espcieally if I just got it.
It must have been stacked somewhere ready for delivery, because my order has been SUPER SLOW after waiting a few days after the event. It has taken from Tuesday to Friday (Asia time) just to go a few hundred miles:

I know someone working in the store, and I can wait in store while they replace it. So I don't think there will be any issues at all
If there is a single scratch, they'll get it back (still within the 14-day return window). So no problems 
I was gonna post a screen of my tracking. But I see yours is exactly the same as mine.
I just picked up my new Macbook Pro 15 2.3, 16GB. 512ssd and it is great. this is my first personal mac product, I use one at work but never got around to buying one for home. This thing is lightyears faster than my old laptop and I don't think I'll be going back to the pc world anytime soon.
Ordered my 15"/2.6/1TB on Tuesday. Wasn't expecting it to ship until tomorrow. Got a notification an hour ago that it shipped out from south from San Francisco to Portland! Stoked! No projected delivery as of yet. Is Saturday shipping standard for FedEx?

Where did you order from?
Welp, after reading benchmarks, reviews, and saving money for what feels like an eternity, I finally I took the plunge!
My late 2008 (first unibody) MBP, while pimped up with max RAM and dual SSD:s, is still on its last leg. After being my main workhorse for almost 5 years, it's time to retire.
I ordered the stock higher-end 15" 2.3/16/512/750M.
Price tag here in the EU is a crazy 2649 which is like $3500 USD. The price difference sucks buffalo testes, but what do you do...
Will mostly use it for heavy Photoshop use, but maybe I'll wake up my inner gamer from its hibernation now that I've got decent graphics
CANT! WAIT!

amongst the mass of today's ipad orders I slipped in a maxed out 15" rMBP
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
1TB Flash Storage
Estimating delivery from 12-15 November. Quite a lead time. They must be selling the crap out of these.

I noticed that the 1TB SSD is causing it to jump from 1-3 days to 4-6. Must be a shortage.
I ordered mine over a week ago, still awaiting payment though. Hopefully it clears this weekend and then I'll have it sometime next week. Can't wait!
