Last I saw, there wasn't a column in the 13" sheet to enter that you've been charged.
I know--I ordered the next day and am in the 4-5 group 
But I can never seem to make decisions that quickly.

Don't forget to update the spreadsheet....

I added one in there earlier this afternoon for the touch bar 13" order sheet!
Yea, the 13 inch definitely sparked my interest with the portability. My current Mac is the original Unibody Macs and when I compared the dimensions of the new 15 inch to my current 13 it wasn't much larger. So the way I see it is i'm getting a bigger screen at a slight increase in width and depth. And the thickness and weight are still a large decrease too.
Out of all the posts here, I never seen your configuration. why did you pay $100 for a 0.2gdz speed increase in cpu? I'm really curious. Personally I would have added an extra $100 and got the 16gb ram option over the cpu upgrade.
After spending too much time looking at the spreadsheet, I concluded that Canadians no matter how fast you ordered got a date of Nov 21-25 at best. I think there was one non-BTO that got the Nov18-something time line. I ordered in the exact same time frame as those with 21-25 but got 24-30. I think this is Canadians paying for the fact that our shipments go to the US first. Also on top of that Apple is taxing me for living in the far north next to Alaska.
What I wish is that Apple would give me the option to pick a better shipping method. UPS which they often use into Canada is terrible as it is the only carrier that doesn't fly into Whitehorse. CanadaPost, Fedex and Purolator all have options to fly me my stuff. I can order stuff from the US from Amazon and get it in 2-3 days and from Canadian Amazon and have it next day. Apple needs to get with the times and use better shipping methods. I hear people say on here that Apple will use the fastest method possible. Maybe that is true for the US market but for other markets I think Apple could do a better job of shipping logistics.
Anyways, that is just my rant for no reason as I wait for a charge on my CC. I got my confirmation email at 11:40 PDT on the 27th. I think I should be in the first batch despite my 24-30 delivery estimate.

Woke up to an email from Apple saying payment couldn't be processed. Quickly fixed up after increasing my daily purchase limit.
BTO 15".
BTO 15".
How does that work? Like does apple tell you the charge didn't go through and to fix it?
yep, exact same thing happened to me as well. Apple sends a mail saying the payment couldn't go through. Even the bank sent a mail saying it blocked it - either due to daily spending limit or suspected fraudulent activity
Please do yourself a favor and never work in banking.. or really finance in general.
Ha I make a good deal of money without getting into specifics, I have a credit card that will block a $10 transaction if it thinks it's suspicious.
Sure my CC will flag a suspicious purchase also. Buying a laptop from Apple won't be flagged unless this is an abnormal expense and that was my point. Anyways...I will go away and hide until my CC is flagged and my laptop is PFS...someday that will happen and I will then return

I'm one of the lucky Canadians with a Nov 18- Nov 24 date (13" stock 512gb). I called today and they told me they couldn't upgrade the shipping, as they're already being sent by the fastest method. Does feel like my delivery is one day later since it goes to the US then back here.
It was just a filter set on the graphic column. The data looks all there.

Yeah, I think your 18 is like the US 17 or actually the US Nov 15 that some of the stock ones have. The US 17-X are similar to the CDN 21-X. Basically a 3-4 day penalty for time into Canada. Oh well that is how it has always been. You should be one of the first Canadians with a TouchBar rMBP....Enjoy!!
I ordered a base 13" touchbar and haven't been charged yet. Not sure if anyone mentioned this before, but appleinsider reported that Apple stores could have some baseline models on November 15.
