What does "Processing Your Order" mean?

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro Retina Display and it sayd it would take 3-4 weeks to ship. It has been two days in the "we've recieved your order". Now all of a sudden it has changed to "Processing Your Order". What exactly does this mean? I heard this means theyre bringing it to FedEx already, but I dont think thats true. This is what the website says but its not very specific: We are processing your order now. You can modify your order details through online Order Status, or by contacting Apple Online Store Customer Service. Please help me.

The only omputer I ordered was my first, over the phone, in october 2003 and I had it by november.

Are you miles from an Apple store and that is why you ordered it? Or you got things put in that they do not carry as not many folks buy them? How long have you been waiting?-nevermind i reread your fist post... Um, it will be within the 3 to 4 weeks as they promised i bet. Maybe sooner, if you do not change the order...

Well, it is between the stack of orders nobody has had a chance to get to, because there are so many orders and it has shipped. SO, like they say- quick, NOW if you want to change the order do it. Some folks do decide- hold it- more memory please,or no nevermind- I want the iMac... When it gets to the stage of SHIPPED it is too late to change the order.

Understand- people from all over Earth buy the products. They do not say order by order what machine to make! They go for maximum efficiency... so they make batches of machines, and then distribute them...

Depends entirely on where your order is in the backlog of orders. We have no way of knowing that. You just have to be patient. Your number will come up eventually.
