I've placed my order for the 256GB with 16GB RAM on June 20th, and the status says, it will be delivered between July 18th - July 24th. So my question is, "Is it going to be the actual delivery date or does anyone had any luck of getting it delivered sooner than what Apple had notified when placing the order?" I don't like waiting for anything especially on a New Apple Product 🙂.
thank you

Don't you get a UPS/DHL/FedEx tracking # to check where the Mac's at? Cause once the customized Mac is out of the factory and in the hands of the delivery company, it is really up to them and not Apple.
Be thankful it's summer and there are no major hurricanes in the Pacific (Macs come from China, in case you hadn't caught on yet). Cause last winter with all the freak snowstorms, delivery times got really crazy.
My experience is that if Apple products are drop-shipped from Shenzhen, China, they go to Hong Kong, then Anchorage, then a distribution point in the US. I live in the east, so my shipments come through Memphis or Indiana. They don't go anywhere near the Pacific states.
Well, I just checked the status again and it says, "Processing" so I will just keep waiting. It's going to be the longest 4 weeks ever -:(
Thanks

"Processing" means the plant has not released the unit to the shipper yet. Probably due to parts shortage, given the demand. Same thing happened last year, during the Thailand flooding that really hit the HDD supply chain hard.
I found someone in another thread who ordered a similar one on 6/14. Original deliver date expected was 7/19, got it today.

I'm in the same boat with my 6/18 order, can't wait to get it!! Still says processing....
I ordered a 2.7/16/768 (and a thunderbolt display) as soon as the store opened on June 11, right after the announcement. My laptop is still processing. Obviously it won't make the delivery estimate for July 9th. It is really frustrating to see how everybody else who order afterwards are receiving their laptops earlier.
Yep - Same - I ordered immediately it was available - I "ticked all the boxes" as it were, plus a TB display... And it's not even out of china yet!! It's been about 30 days so far. Now I'm going overseas for two weeks.
...At least I'll (hopefully) have something to look forward to when I get back... 🙂
