Build To Order: you have chosen upgraded hardware during your order (a bigger SSD, faster CPU/GPU, etc)
It's the opposite of a Stock unit
If it's anything like my BTO non-touch bar ...
Expedited shipping was an option for me, though it was buried in the order process. It did not speed up the actual shipping at all, if it did anything it may have sped up the processing (build?) time a bit. Not sure.
Like previous MacBooks I've ordered, they come from Shanghai and are shipped via FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution.
This method of shipping should take approximately 2 days once it's picked up. If you get the dreaded "Package Received after FedEx cutoff" message in your tracking, it's probably safe to add an extra day.
The estimated delivery date on the FedEx tracking is very much an estimate. Mine was delivered a day earlier than the initial estimated delivery day.
As far as Apple's order system; my order did not spend much time in the "Preparing for Shipment" stage ... maybe 12 hours. I received notification from FedEx Delivery Manager about 6 hours before my Apple order status went to "Shipped" (and I received the subsequent Apple e-mail w/ tracking info) in Apple's system.
If you're not signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager, you can sign up @ FedEx for free I believe.
I'm not sure when my card was charged.

Any 3 to 4 Weeks orders to germany here ?
Same here.
I just noticed that the name of my MacBook Pro product changed from "13" MacBook Pro" to "13" MacBook Pro – Space Grau". Hopefully that's a good sign!
Happened to mine 15" as well...hopefully that's good.
All I know is that with the inevitable currency shift today, the U.K will now be getting even more shafted with our price increases
No movement on my order yet.
delivery oct (edit: NOV) 23-30

Finally! Add me to the list of being charged it happened at 3:47 cst this morning!
Doesn't look like anybody in Europe has been charged yet. I have a feeling our orders will get delayed. My delivery is 16-23 Nov though.
Why would you think that our orders in Europe will get delayed? Mine is Nov 28-Dec 5
I don't think our orders will be delayed. When I ordered the website said that we would be charged when your order is shipped. I've read some posts on this forum about receiving a confirmation e-mail and charged creditcards when our orders are in a warehouse in Europe (Eindhoven, NL for example). Shipping from there won't take very long I think. I'm guessing on a creditcard charge and status update on Friday.
