Mine came over to the UK then sat with UPS Tamworth for 6 days. The parcel tracking went to delayed before eventually moving north. No out for delivery tracking today just turned up in my totally insecure parcels box. Luckily a neighbour messaged me so I retrieved it.

Well atleast you got some information, mine ships via DHL in NL but the tracking information doesn’t update till its arrives at DHL
This plane just departed from Stockholm. Call me impatient, but what if my computer was in this jet?
It was about 2 business days from the charge appearing to the order being shipped (UPS to Northeast United States)
Thanks. Do custom built MacBooks (16gb RAM/512gb SSD/i7) get shipped from the US or from China? And what's the shipping speed that Apple uses on their "fastest delivery" option online?
No problem! For my custom build (i5/16gb ram) it shipped directly from china through UPS worldwide expedited shipping (https://www.ups.com/us/en/shipping/international/services/worldwide-expedited.page)
However, I think due to COVID there are less flights globally, so my shipment from China to the Northeast U.S. is scheduled to take 8 days total. (shipped 5/11, est. UPS delivery of 5/19)
When you ordered yours, did you get an email saying "dear customer, Apple will ship this product to you as soon as possible" and then it took 2 days for the tracking number to be sent to you?
I got that order confirmation email on 5/6 when I ordered.
5/9 card was charged
5/11 shipped with Estimated delivery, so it took 5 days from that email to get shipping info.
Thanks. I got the email after the charge instead lol. I hope they ship it sooner rather than later. So excited to be getting rid of my MBP 2015.
Well.. I was wrong.

I talked to Apple last week, they said it would go through Amsterdam 🤔
from what you've shown I think that the plane might arrive today in Amsterdam. Mine may also be on this plane.
