The speed the states get their deliveries against what we get in Europe is cause for serious jealousy! I get why it's the case, but at the same time. I am jealous!
Shipped at 06:30 this morning - expected delivery 23rd April, UPS saying by end of day 15th April. Ordered 27th March, UK. i5, 8GB, 256.
Just adding my schedule below to support the general consensus that the shipping process is slower than many of our previous Apple experiences (for obvious pandemic reasons):
Config - i5/16GB/1TB [very excited to upgrade from my 2012 Air]
Ordered Mar 25 (processing); delivery estimate Apr 10-17
Card charged Apr 3 (processing)
Moved to preparing to ship (Apr 7)
Shipped (Apr 9); delivery estimate updated to Apr 20 🙁
Fingers crossed that the actual delivery date is earlier, as other folks have reported!

This morning, when I checked on the UPS website, the delivery scheduled went from deliver next Monday to next Wenesday. 1 hour later, from Wenesday to Tuesday and now, from Tuesday to Monday.
Take it easy, NO ONE know what's going on. Hang in there !

Still absolutely nothing -- ordered 3/28 in the States.
Original shipping estimate was 4/7 - 4/14.
Stuck on "Order in Progress" with no charge to CC and no movement. I don't see any way that this arrives in this window. It's frustrating sitting here trying to work on an iPad while the wife uses the other MacBook for her distance teaching.

Similar situation but ordered on 3/29 in Canada. No charge on CC is making me worried now
Same. Still nothing. Orders March 30 with April 7-14th estimate. Can’t see that happening now. I know the orders sit in China for a few days after being shipped.
I placed a BTO order 3-20 and was told it would arrive approx 4-9
I think mine is lost somewhere in China:
It's been sitting in a warehouse for quite some time. Oh well, was likely going to return anyway

Mine was supposed to be here by 10:30 am, it’s now just supposed to be delivered today. Delays are understandable but I’m counting down the minutes / hours for shiny new thing

It has arrived! wooo gonna give it the rundown at last
I’m pretty much in the same spot — I ordered from Apple on the educator discount + Apple Card, but I’m willing to pay more from Amazon if I don’t see some kind of movement on the order in the next 24 hours.
I get that there’s an outbreak, but the lack of communication or any kind of update from Apple on this for almost 13 days is unacceptably bad customer service — especially given there’s absolutely no way they’re going to hit the 4/14 delivery window end date right now.
I ordered on 4/1. My window is 20-28 May. Still processing. For us living in non-US or even non-EU countries, it looks like we‘ll have to wait a lot. I hope you can get it as soon as possible. I know there is an outbreak but I need it for schoolwork and other stuff. My online education will be finished before it arrives.
I was in the exact same boat today and gave up and canceled the order, and ordered the same configuration from Best Buy, ate a $30 shipping charge and now it's coming on Monday. I also ordered 3/28 and had a 4/6 to 4/13 window, it never made it out of processing or charged my card.
Wow, that's crazy. I would have canceled too. Which config was it that you had ordered?
I ordered mine on March 27th and it was still stuck in "Processing" yesterday. I couldn't wait any longer and so I cancelled my order and purchased at Best Buy and picked up in an hour.
