Experience in delivery times for retina MBP so far?

So I put in an order for a retina Macbook Pro on June 17 and as we all know the estimated time to ship is 3-4 weeks right now.


For those of you who also ordered online, have you received yours yet? Curious to see if the estimated time to ship is accurate or if they're just managing expectations.


Yes, I'm impatient!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

Put an order on June 28th prepared for the 3 to 4 weeks delivery time. Delivery estimate was July 26 to Aug 2 but yet again I knew there was a wait so I was not worried.


Checked my iphone this morning and I received an email from Apple stating that my MBP Retina shipped today July 2nd and FedEx website is showing a delivery date of July 6th. Wow, I was not expecting that.


Order was just the standard MBP Retina, there was no special configurations,

I live in the Dallas Ft Worth area,


I agree there is no rhyme or reason, I was expected to wait due to the demand but it looks like I will be getting much sooner than expected.


Check this too, I went to the "Express Lane" https://expresslane.apple.com and I can even see that the new MBP retina is already tied my my Apple ID. I already know the exact serial number of the unit.

Sweet! Well that gives me some hope.


I ordered the 2.6GHz, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM 15"


Ordered: June 18

Expected delivery: July 16-20 (2-3 day)


Still says "Processing Items"


I think the two things that delay shipping are the max capacity SSD, and the max memory. The apple store here said they've never received any that had 16GB RAM, so I doubt apple is mass producing those.


Good luck everyone and keep us up to date on when you receive yours and what the config is!!!
