Apple Begins Preparing First Mac Pro Orders for December 30 Delivery
As noted by a number of MacRumors forum members and Twitter users, Apple has begun preparing a number of stock Mac Pro configurations for delivery starting on December 30. In addition, many other users are seeing their credit cards charged and order statuses changed to "Preparing for Shipment". The new status indicates that orders cannot be canceled or changed and are in the final stage before the new Mac Pros are handed off to delivery companies.
Although the majority of users' reported dates appears to be December 30, a small number of users are also reporting that their deliver dates are December 27. Both dates would squeeze the new Mac Pros into Apple's self-imposed December release date for the new professional desktop computer.
It appears that the first shipments of the Mac Pros are all stock configurations, as it has thus far been unclear if custom configurations have been shipping out to users. Since online ordering has been available, the shipping estimates have slipped into February 2014, with demand outstripping supply.

December is still December whether it be the 1st or the 31st.
It's not hard for demand to outstrip supply when - at present, at least - there's no supply!
Apple PR : 10
Reporter : Wow you shipped 10 million units ?
Apple PR : No 10
Reporter : OK so you shipped 10 thousand units
Apple PR : No 10 aka less than 11, aka the number of fingers on your hands
Joking aside, all the pundits saying the unit won't sell have been proven wrong
Forget about the month. Think about the year. They said 2013 and they've apparently kept that promise.
Buy don't lease... :p

I have been waiting since 2009, so excited to say the least. Getting it a few days earlier is a big deal for me. If you had a new expensive toy ordered, you are seriously telling me you would not be happy to know it was arriving early?
Don't be such a curmudgeon.
