This is my first time purchasing a Mac, and I'm not familiar with their shipping times. I ordered my MBP on 9/25, and it says it's not supposed to ship until October 4th-16th. I can't wait that long!! Are there any possiblities that it may ship before then? Has anyone had an experience with their MBPs shipping early?

Probably a worst case scenario, but i bet it will take at least a couple weeks.

Why not just go to an apple store?

Yea, it will take about that long. I ordered my in the morning of September 11th and just recieved it today! I was going to go into the store but online gave me a better student discount. It does take a while, but FexEx is not very accurate. The Estimated delivery time was this Friday, so I'll take it two days early. Good luck, I love it so far!

Thanks. I would have gone to an Apple store, but I don't live anywhere near one. Online was easier and it gave me a better deal. I want it now!

Mine did take as long as it said. However, I did call and complain about it and the guy gave me a free upgrade to two day shipping.

I'm upgrading my Macbook to a MBP and I placed my order on 9/14 and it just shipped today. My wife ordered a Macbook on 9/20 for her work and got it yesterday. I actually was going to buy one at the local Apple store (within walking distance) but they were sold out. I think the MBP supply is low and the shipping times are longer because of this.

I ordered mine on 6th Sep and received it last Thursday.

I think oftentimes it depends on the spec of your model. My MBP was just a basic model with no add-ons so they were just able to ship it straight to me (pretty much at least).

Also, there is a supposed worldwide shortage of MBPs which would also slow down the process.

Look at it this way, you'll probably have Leopard pre-installed if it arrives mid-Oct.

I ordered a MacBook Pro on September 25th. Everytime I check the order status on apple's website it said "custom configuration." Today when I checked it, it said "custom configured." Does that mean that it's almost ready to ship? Or does it mean anything at all?!

I custom configured mine and it took 2 and 1/2 weeks before it showed up at my house.

Ok, thanks all! It's probably too soon to call and complain about shipping, right?

I ordered my own MBP 09/20 and it still not shipped from the order status its getting shipped on the 02/10 all up the wait will have cost me 3 weeks give or take a day or 2.

Edit: Ohh i forgot to mention the arival is estimated between the 9th and the 12th of October ... longest most excruciating wait ever!
