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.
Apparently apple uses expedited for every pre-order, despite what the website says.Everybody? I preordered but have Standard Shipping in USA.
Nah we just psychosDo you get email notification of the change or are you guys just refreshing your order status?
It's because we are really good at the cyber, but you can have all of our MBPs if you take Trump as well.OK my American friends.... First you gives us Trump, then you take all the MacBook Pro 15". Not OK!

ms179 - I have the same order as yours and am in Ottawa. Based on previous posts about calling Apple to ask for expedited shipping, I did that and said that I was leaving town on the 21st and the CSR was able to "wave my magic wand" and my shipping estimate moved from "21 Nov - 23 Nov" to "17 Nov - 23 Nov". Don't know if it will end up making a difference but worth a quick call.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!

Sndman2004 has my specs above and he went PFS, so, I guess not. How much was that AppleCare? Wondering if I should add that on now since these are pretty pricy.
