Seems like 13" models are going to be a different wave, then. Hopefully you don't need to wait much longer.
Side note but y'all calling each other babe .. let's not do it anymore ..
But any 13s stock or BTO get P4S?

As with that pre-order, Apple uses the fastest shipping possible with their shipping partners.
The odd movements are either due to glitches in tracking, or the fact that your iPhone was probably originally in a crate or otherwise with hundreds or thousands of other orders. Plus, shipping is usually "spoke and hub" type. That's why a shipment might seemingly pass you by. In fact, I live in a rural area very near the interstate highway (about a mile from it). I've had stuff literally go right by my house on an 18-wheeler to a hub in a nearby city, THEN go on a truck to a distribution center, which it has to go past my house on the same interstate AGAIN to get to, and THEN finally get to my house. Going right past my house twice before it's out for delivery. As inefficient as that sounds; in the grand scheme of things, it's a lot more efficient.
So no matter what, it's going out as fast as it can. It'll first be loaded onto a plane, probably carrying exclusively MacBook Pro's, then to your countries nearest air shipping hub (usually a major airport that has a facility for the carrier there). Then on to trucks from there out to distribution centers, and then onto a truck for delivery.
With ANY Apple Pre-Order, Apple will send the product out as fast as they possibly can, there is no faster shipping than what Apple already uses. Later on, when these are in stock in regional warehouses in your country, expedited shipping is an option.
Part of WHY they always ship using the fastest option is that it's just easier that way than allowing people to pay for faster shipping; because they are sending thousands (hundreds of thousands in some cases) of the same device out to the same 'area'. So a plane load of MacBook Pro's is just easier and more efficient than throwing some on a container to go to retailers, some on a plane, some on a truck, etc. etc.
Still waiting on mine to change status. Located in Montreal Canada, ordered within 5min or store going back online. No charge to my credit card yet either.
13" with Touch Bar, stock config, base model. $2169 CAD after student discount.
Hoping to see some movement tonight and have it ship+deliver before the 21!

P4S doesn't mean it'll ship today. Maybe tomorrow, which is Friday. Weekend UPS is closed. That means the item will actually start "moving" on Monday. Add to that 1-2 days for actual shipping. That means Thursday 11/17 is actual delivery at the earliest.
I've had UPS deliver on weekends before, they deliver Saturday in the States if you have expedited shipping which everybody who pre-ordered does.
I ordered 13" stock, base model. Located in Canada. Nothing yet, no charge to credit card either. Ordered within 5min of keynote ending.
Thanks, I have a maxed 1TB still on processing that was ordered after keynote and charged back on Monday.
I'm not so sure it's going to ship from China that fast for folks either. With my Apple Watch and my iPhone 7 plus, both took 2 days from the point it was picked up by the shipper in China, to the point it arrived at my doorstep.
No charge here either. I got one right after the keynote that came back and nothing since, no auth, nothing.
