Can confirm similar situation here (however in US). It was scanned as import on Sunday but remained in Shanghai, it was just rescanned as “international shipment release” again and feel the 5/13 delivery date is really iffy now. 24 hours to get to the states and in my hands.
Maybe there is a direct UPS flight from Shanghai to wherever you are in the US? I hope you get yours tomorrow. This is agonizing, to say the least, lol.
I hate online orders, I want my products now haha. *sigh*

Got 3 orders, Best Buy, Costco and Amazon.
Best Buy has the earliest ship date as 5/15, Costco 5/25 and Amazon is unknown.

Now I wait and see who ships first and cancel the rest.

Space grey, i5, 16gb, 512GB MBP

There are some available on amazon now, says delivered by Thursday... I'm tempted to cancel my order with apple that has a delivery date a few weeks out, but I'm not sure how reliable this seller on amazon is.


Update:
Gone now.

Just saw that. Apple warranty should still be valid correct?
 
Was tempted to cancel my order with Apple, to order one of the in-stock base models at B&H Photo... but I’ll suck it up and be patient for my BTO with 16GB RAM. 😭😭
 
Are we expecting another UK batch tonight?

My bto is still stuck at 'Processing' even though payment was taken 36 hours ago

I canceled my Apple order and went with the Amazon option for the Space grey, i5, 16gb, 512GB.
Probably made a mistake there, but we'll see on Thursday!

It’s supposed to arrive on Thursday?! Fingers crossed for you!! 😁
 
My local retailer is expecting a shipment tomorrow morning (13th) of the 10th gen i5/16/512 space grey... will check tomorrow and cancel my pending order if I can
 
Well mine has been the speediest ever. I decided to send the MacBook Air back this morning, UPS are coming to collect the Air tomorrow. I bought a MBP 13’’ this morning on the Apple online store and just received notification it is being delivered tomorrow via DHL In the UK. Speedy.

Update 4

MBP 13 8th Generation
i5/16/256 Space Grey
Order date: May 4
Estimated delivery (original): May 14-18
Estimated delivery (Apple): May 15
Estimated delivery (Fedex): May 13
Current Status:
Country: US

finally got a delivery date from fedex. Hopefully it comes sooner than that but I can’t complain. Last location was the exit scan from Shanghai so if I get a change of date it’ll probably come when it gets to the US.

Update 5

MBP 13 8th Generation
i5/16/256 Space Grey
Order date: May 4
Estimated delivery (original): May 14-18
Estimated delivery (Apple): May 15
Estimated delivery (Fedex): May 13
Current Status: International Shipment Release - Import
Country: US

So after spending 2 days at the Fedex facility in Shanghai it seems to be on its way. Fedex's delivery date is still tomorrow, and they sent me a text earlier stating it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow by 10:30 am. Cautiously Optimistic!

The usual route is Shanghai to Korea to Anchorage to Louisville (at least for the East Coast and Midwest). I’d check now. If it left Shanghai it will probably make it tomorrow. If not, then Thursday is more likely.

I hope people keep in mind a lot of air freight goes in cargo compartments in commercial airliners. It actually is one of the high profit areas for the airlines and cuts the costs for shippers. But right now a lot of commercial airlines are not flying so shippers are scrambing to find a way to move packages.
 
Well that's not encouraging! Mine arrived in Incheon around 9 ET this morning, and departed around noon ET. Curious to see where it goes next based on your experience.

Moved from Incheon to Anchorage then to Louisville without issue over the past two days. Seems to be stuck there today. Hoping for some movement for a delivery by Thursday.

13" 4 TB 3 Ports
i5/16GB/512GB
Ordered 6th May
Status: Processing
Estimated delivery: 22nd

I called yesterday to make sure there are no issues with the order, everything looks fine from their side. Credit card still wasnt charged.

First Mac I ever purchased :D
They charge the card when they ship. So if they are quoting May 22 it will likely ship next week.
