Ordered MBP 15"/Touchbar/2.9/2TB/460 on 11/11/16 with Ship To Store in NH. As of 12/04/16 the status is still showing "Processing Items - Available 12/26/16".
I'm a newer Apple ecosystem user and find Apple's phony demand building approach of making consumers wait weeks for products after announcing them is very annoying...think of how much wasted time we all put into this insanity. Where is my Macbook?!

JAJAJAJAJA
The current deliver time for new MacBook Pro orders is smaller than my order with "Shipped" status. INCREDIBLE.

My shipment is in the same batch as yours. I just saw an import release scan from Memphis. My local airport is just a short plane ride away from Memphis, and FedEx flies a daily plane from there. I do believe it will make it to my local FedEx facility by Monday (where I will pick it up).
My original delivery window was December 7-13, so it looks like I will get it on the 5th.

Nov 2 order.
"Shipped" on December 1 with original Delivery (to Michigan) expected December 7
But sat in Shanghai for 2 days until it finally left yesterday. The delay pushed the delivery back to Dec 8.
Arrived in Anchorage today and delivery moved back to Dec 7. (yay).
Hopefully it will leave soon for wherever is next.
They certainly are not rushing to get these to us patient buyers.
Thanks Obama.... I mean Apple

Apple doesn't care about its customers. The delivery window is now shorter for people ordering now while others still have longer delivery windows. Yesterday, I chatted with someone online and she was excited the window was now shorter. When I asked if that meant people who are waiting on a longer delivery window would get their order sooner, she said no. What ever happend to serve your customers in line and keep them happy. Oh, and here's the kicker she told me I could always cancel my order and start over. How stupid!
That is a straight up lie and you know it is. The people who order now will not receive their MacBook Pro's before those who ordered weeks before them. That is not how it works.
The store is now showing 2-3 week window. If you are sitting with a window of 4-5 weeks with no activity, it is possible. Look at all the posts of people who ordered end of October who are still waiting with orders stuck in various places. Is your order still "processing", mine is and I only reported what was said in my chat. I don't lie, Apple does not care about customers. Sorry you disagree with my post, but I think it is true unless Apple steps it up.
Sometime in the last couple of hours my CC was charged and my order status is now "Preparing for shipment".
Ordered Nov 4. ITS HAPPENING!

Ok now my order status is already P4S! I am sooo ready to get this bad boy. Seems that Santa Claus will be very punctual this year.
Me like it!
Yes! I did the same thing. Ordered on 11/5. I've been checking that order page at least 20 times a day for a month... when I saw PFS, I almost did a double take!!
I am just thrilled to get my computer.
Also, just a thought, my delivery window still says 4-5 weeks. I think that's just the original delivery window they promised. I don't believe for a second if I ordered a MBP now, I would get it before any of us who already ordered.
I think most people who really wanted one, pre-ordered one, and the sheer mass of orders caused this back-log. Now there are less orders, so the delivery window is smaller.
Anyways, yay!
It's not that out of line.
I ordered 11/7. My delivery window is the 14th-20th and I still haven't had any movement on my order. No status update changes or charges to my credit card.
If I ordered a second MBP today, it wouldn't be completely unreasonable to assume that I could receive both orders within a couple days of each other.
Ordered a MBP 15 TB, 460 graphics, 2 Tb storage on Nov 4, still on Processing Items. Showing delivery Dec 12-16 to Mississauga, Canada. I'm wondering if there was a gap in progress for many people in the last few days because they found a solution for the battery life problem some are reporting and are implementing it.
I also wonder if the 2TB storage is in low availability in my case. I opted for 2 TB because i feel that is the limiting factor for the computer being useable for up to 7 years like my previous 2010 MBP (with a 1TB drive I installed a few years ago) has been. I have a LOT of high res pictures and I want them all on the MBP, instantly accessible, instead on the cloud (gobbling up my data allowance) or an external drive. Pay once, enjoy forever! Or, I may be an idiot!

Mine just arrived in Tampa, should definitely get it tomorrow. Unfortunately, won't be back from University until the 16th, the wait is going to kill me. Thank goodness for the extended return period, in case something is wrong. If you return for a refund do you also have your AppleCare refunded?
Mine is set to deliver on Tuesday...Ordered 10/28, been waiting well over a month...
Anyone notice something weird with UPS? It looks like it made it to Buffalo and then went back to Louisville, KY. It's meant to be delivered in Toronto on Tuesday.

I ordered a 15" 2.9/512/460 space gray on 11/5 that is still processing. Shipping to NW United States. Should be my turn to start tracking flights soon.
That is curious. Like a few others who have shared in this forum - seeing their machines cycling around Asia before finally moving onwards.
Mine is scheduled to be ready for pickup in a Toronto area Apple Store this Wednesday. Perhaps it is tooling around the US with yours! Hopefully we'll both get our devices in the next few days - perhaps with a few Harley Davidson stickers on the boxes, but none the worse for wear.
Ordered 10/31
Shipped Shanghai 11/30
Arrived Osaka 12/2
No movement since. UPS still says 12/7 delivery to western US (pushed back one day already), but that seems unlikely at this pace.
For people thinking that an order placed today will somehow leapfrog an order placed weeks ago, take all these strange delays in Asia into account. It's FIFO and there are many slow steps from Processing to Delivered, particularly as we get closer to 12/25.
