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)
2.6/512/16 on 6/20 - Delivers 7/19-7/25.
Seems pretty much in line with others here.
I ordered mine from MacMall. Before I did I chatted with someone who said the wait time for a custom build was about 2-3 weeks. I placed my order on June 23rd for the following:
15.4" MacBook Pro (with Retina display) quad-core Intel Core i7 2.7GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB flash storage, Intel HD Graphics 4000, Mac OS X Lion
The status hasn't changed, but I chatted with a customer service rep to see if they'd be able to give me an estimate. He said they're expecting it in their Memphis warehouse on July 12th. I did FedEx 2nd day so I'm hoping it'll arrive on that Saturday, which would be exactly 3 weeks... we'll see how it pans out.
i want it now lol
ordered 2.6/16/512 jun 15.. still says processing, jul-16-20th.
I ordered 2.3/16/256 on June 20th. Still says processing, July 19-25. Really hoping to get it by next week. Crossing my fingers! cue8chalk, your post gives me hope of that. I will update this page when the status changes. Super stoked!
Ordered a 2.7/16/768 on June 11th (confirmation email arrived 530pm CT). Still processing. Kinda disappointing that a company as big as Apple can't handle a simple concept as an ordering queue.
I'm pretty sure it has less to do with an ordering queue and more to do with supplies. My guess is it has to do with the RAM and/or the display. I've been seeing reports online that there are some retina displays with burn-in/ghosting issues. Apple may be trying to resolve it quietly, or it could just be a simple supply problem.
As for the ship date I was given from Macmall, I'm wondering if they ordered a bunch of configurations from Apple ahead of time. That seems like the logical thing to do with so few combinations of specs and high demand for the systems.
Issue is that others received theirs who ordered the same config on the 12th.
I agree with cue. I'm starting to notice it's th folks with upgrades especially on RAM who are experiencing longer wait times. My assumption is that it's a supply issue and could also be trying to fix the ghosting.
Either way Apple did provide a clear 3-4 week window and they're not late yet. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised but I guess that estimation might just be accurate!
The longer wait time is actually due to the 768G storage option (as evidenced by the 3-5 week increase in lead time when choosing that option on the store). But others who ordered on the 12th (same config) had a 2-3 week lead time quoted. That's not a supply issue, but an ordering process issue on Apple's side.
Ordered June 26. Still waiting

Found a similar thread containing an online spreadsheet of MBPR order times/dates that may be useful to some folks here.
(Alternatively, you can link directly to the spreadsheet here.)
Hope this helps.
I ordered on June 15. Expected delivery Jul 11.
About time!!!!!
Ordered on June 13th, originally scheduled for delivery July 12-July 19
Delivered July 5th...Fedex showed it arriving on July 6th but it came a day early
Just oependd the box....
Mine just switched to Preparing for Delivery this afternoon....I ordered a 2.3/16GB version on June 17. Still gives a delivery window of July 17-23 so let's see. Finally progress!
I ordered mine MBPR on 16th June afternoon Hong Kong time with the following configuration:
2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
768GB Flash Storage
No VGA Adapter
No Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
KYBD/USER'S GUIDE-ITP
COUNTRY KIT-ITP
The order status has JUST been updated to Preparing for shipment today (6th July early morning).
The delivery date is very much in range with Apple's estimate of 06/12/12 - 06/18/12.
I do not see any pattern between the date you place the order vs the date you actually received the goods. If it is really in the order of first in first serve basis, then for those who ordered before 06/16/12 16:00 should have their order set to preparing for shipment (especially those with BTO).
Experience in delivery times for retina MBP so far?
