I hope so. Maybe some stock orders won't be charged until it is marked as shipped?

I'm guessing that us Australians won't get a shipped notification until tomorrow. My guess is that they're being shipped from China over the weekend and will arrive in the Australian distribution centres. As we don't get deliveries from UPS, I'm guessing we'll get a StarTrack shipment on Monday for a Tuesday delivery. Fingers Crossed!!
Funny. I never once used the thunderbolt port on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I'll use it once; to transfer files.
I plan to get a Thunderbolt 2 RAID setup (which is far cheaper than TB3 now), so I'll need an adapter to make it work. The same cable and adapter I'll need for that will work to plug in my 2012 to transfer files.

That'll transfer personal files; slowly, through the internet. But not applications, preferences, settings, etc.
With migration assistant, you'll be right where you left off and be there quickly.
I'm really curious about this too still on P2S 15'' BTO Shipping to Montreal !
I ordered about the same time as you. Had card charge on Wed and P4S on Thur. Since then nothing....likely will be on the Monday UPS81 plane. Apple can't get all the space on these planes so only so many can go on each flight. Except that UPS85 flight that only flies occasionally that flew today...maybe an all Apple special? Or maybe not? If we do get on UPS81 on Monday it will arrive at 1AM Tuesday morning into Kentucky so still could have delivery for those in the US on Tuesday.
Well, tomorrow is Monday in China. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I bet the the 13" MBPs will ship no later than tomorrow night.
I think they won't ship till Monday's flight. I saw the earliest delivery estimate for Canadian BTO was 21st so Apple has loads of time to still meet that deadline. I had another Apple shipment last week and it went from Kentucky to Edmonton in one day, then onto a truck to me in Whitehorse. But for you in Montreal you could still get it Tues or Wed next week if it flies on the Monday evening UPS flight out of Shanghai. Fingers crossed!!
I completely understand that. I prefer not to move applications that are downloaded outside of the Apple App Store. Many applications spread throughout the macOS, you may unknowingly move an application to the new machine and mistaking leave behind a valuable part of that application. I also prefer to tailor factory settings from the preferences. Different strokes for different folks.
Oh, and all of the data I own is less than 5 GB, won't take long compared to others here.
Just switched to PFS! I was beginning to despair of it ever happening after being charged last Monday. Deets in signature. 
ETA: my pending charge dropped off my account yesterday and hasn't reappeared yet, despite PFS. Hopefully that reassures some others who have had their charge disappear.

Quite a few appear to be on 85, also a flight left after that. I am on UPS81, went to Japan and now on the way to Anchorage.
Ok, I think I researched some of the flights going on, I am pretty sure you guys know but I think UPS 80 and UPS 81 are the ones we should look for now for the next wave (Guessing mine will be the next wave). UPS 81 as you know, is the flight which going from Shanghai to Anchorage to Louisville. This time, I think it kinda had a stop at Japan for the japanese customers? because usually it goes from SHA->ANCH->LOUS. Now, UPS 80 is the one which comes back from LOUS->ANCH->SHA. UPS 80 now, is going to the Shanghai from Anchorage, which will arrive 4 hours later. I think that this UPS 80 flight will change the code to UPS 81, and will depart soon after it has arrived. So maybe sometime during the early morning this sunday. So in conclusion, this route between Shanghai and Louisville, there are two airplanes traveling each other using the code UPS 80 and UPS 81. I hope this research may help you guys.
My stock 13" Touch Bar (8GB/256GB) moved to preparing for shipment last night, and my credit card was charged. No change since then though. I certainly hope to see it shipped out by tomorrow.
Migration assistant takes care of that. I won't be manually copying files over. It does everything and everything is over on the other machine. More/less mirroring the two. It's sort of like restoring a new iPhone from a backup of your old iPhone. When the dust settles it's home sweet home, everything is right where you left it.
The Mac App Store is great. But unfortunately, I have a crummy 6mbps DSL connection (which is all that's available here), so the less I have to re-download, the better.
Mine is still processing... Could anyone in Canada with PFS or S status and 15'' please tell me which province are you in? Thanks!!
I ordered the 13" MBP non-toolbar version with 256 SSD in space gray earlier this evening. It will be delivered to the house on the 16th of this month. I also ordered two dongles from the Apple site, so I can connect to the ethernet and my iPhone. I also ordered a G-Force USB 3.0 2TB external drive from the Apple site to use as a TM backup. I will pick up the accessories at the local store.
MINE LANDED SEVEN SECONDS AFTER HIS, THIS IS UNFAIR I DEMAND A REFUND!!
I may use Migration Assistant. This is the 2nd MacBook I've owned. Currently using a MacBook 7,1 that I purchased before college. Before that I used a family notebook and didn't store any data. I'll see what iCloud does, then decide from there. Everything I own is in iCloud.
Stop stirring up trouble. This thread is back on track after a huge moderator clean-up. Let's keep it that way.
