Yes friday too (or possibly early saturday). I'm hoping its a case of it only tracks when it reaches Europe, but worst case it might be that there's only one export shipment a week?
Got a tip for us?

I think it starts tracking when it reaches Europe. But I don't know how long it at the moment takes from china to Europe.
What delivery date do you have from apple? Mine says 15th - 19th June
Another update on my crazy tale of woe. To recap, my order placed May 12th for i7/32/1TB SG was meant to arrive June 1st. It did not, but UPS tracking showed delivery to another address. Phone UPS who say it was mistakenly left at an Amazon warehouse. Would take up to 28 days for them to retrieve and redeliver to me. UPS suggest I contact Apple about a replacement, as that would be quicker.
Many calls to Apple, promises of call back by tier-2 support, no call back. Finally, on June 8th I get to speak to someone helpful (previous agents friendly, but not able to do much). Apple agree to refund my card and give me a further £60 credit as a goodwill gesture. Apple will sort out the return with UPS, so nothing for me to do. Same day (June 8th), I place a new order for a slightly higher configuration (i7/32/2TB), which happens to be one they pre-build and therefore has a shorter delivery time. Annoying, but all set to receive the second order estimated June 16th. A small goodwill gesture to make up for the hassle I've had. All-in-all, an acceptable outcome.
Roll-on today (June 9th) and what happens? You guessed it, UPS deliver the first machine to me with a "MISSDELIVERY" sticker on the box. No obvious damage to the packaging for all its extra journey. I call Apple as soon as I finished work, but of course they are closed for the day.
It is a kind of farce. I think I just need to decide whether I really want 2TB or 1TB and call Apple tomorrow to resolve this once and for all. The difference now is that the 1TB model is the "bird in the hand", whereas the 2TB model is a week away (assuming no further balls-up by UPS). I don't think I really need 2TB, as I'm managing fine with 500GB right now. Therefore, I'm inclined to cancel the 2TB order before it ships (and before I'm charged), tell Apple not to refund as I now have the 1TB machine, take my £60 goodwill gesture and ask for the AppleCare+ start date to be adjusted to June 9th.

Dont be sorry, we're sorry that you've had such a time. I went with the 1TB, still wondering if I should have ponied up the extra - in case I want to do bootcamp - but there we go.Another update on my crazy tale of woe.

Yes, 15th - 19th here (ios App), and 15th specifically (online browser). Still says this for me, and DHL still not updated, so I guess I'm on a later flight, never mind, happy for you, hope it delivers successfully tomorrow.
Thanks. It is a first world problem to be sure. I'm 90% sure I'll be fine with 1TB even looking out 3-4 years from now. The only reason I am pondering the 2TB config is that the price delta (£400 in the UK) is surprisingly reasonable for Apple.
For example, a 2TB Samsung T5 SSD (i.e. the previous generation) is nearly £400 on Amazon and of course much slower than the internal SSD. So the argument that I could always top on on external storage for less money doesn't look too convincing.
Edit: I realise this is not a fair comparison, since a 2TB external would provide 3TB storage total. A better comparison is the 1TB X5 (Thunderbolt 3) at £377 on Amazon. That is an interesting option...
Ordered 13" MBP 10th Gen - i7/32GB/1TB SG on May 24th. Delivery est: June 12-18
Got it TODAY! Had issues with Migration and had to reinstall Catalina. It failed Migration for some reason and went into a boot loop so I reinstalled the OS and tried again. Second time is the charm and all is good now. This thing is crazy fast. Loving the new keyboard too!

Congrats on your new Mac! Just FYI, Premiere is really bad nowadays and it is a resource hog in terms of RAM/Memory/CPU. Even MBP 16 struggles bad in it. I think you will be surprised about performance after using DaVinci Resolve 16.
Just received my i7/32GB/1TB. Let the migration and install begin.
Are you sure it's DHL? I'm tracking through and from China via UPS. It's in Korea at the moment. Still says delivery on Friday 12 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Monday.
At last things have come to a happy conclusion
The i7/32/1TB SG that was meant to arrive June 1, but was dropped off at Amazon by UPS is here and all is well. No signs of any damage from its extra 9 days in the care of UPS and Amazon.
The replacement that Apple promised me had not yet shipped, so I was able to cancel that. Apple will credit £60 to me as a goodwill gesture for all the time I have wasted calling the support line. Apple will also refund my AppleCare+ so that I can buy a new policy and have it start from this week.
On June 8th, when it looked like I was not going to receive the original shipment, I was tempted to go for a slightly higher configuration (2TB instead of 1TB) simply because that is a configuration that ships much quicker. However, with the 1TB safely here, I am more than happy to keep it. I think I'll be fine with 1TB, but just in case, I have opted for a slightly different solution. A 1TB thunderbolt 3 SSD (pluggable) that can hang of the back of my Caldigit TS3+ alongside my 2TB T5 USB-C SSD (for Time Machine).
This way I have the benefit of plenty (1TB + 1TB) of very fast storage and 2TB of medium fast storage for local backups while docked and the flexibility to use the thunderbolt 3 drive with my wife's 2019 MPB (i5/16/512), e.g. to transfer video files.
The thunderbolt 3 SSD is very nearly as fast as the internal SSD (around 2500MB/s read) yet I still get to live the "one cable life" as the Caldigit dock connects to my Dell u3219q 32" 4K USB-C monitor, thunderbolt 3 SSD, USB-C SSD, Gbit ethernet, and the USB3 "hub" of the monitor that connects to my Logitech BRIO 4K, Blue Yeticaster mic., speakers and the wireless for Logitech MX Master 3 and MX Keys. All while charging too!
I can highly recommend the "one cable life".
Good luck to all those still waiting for their 2020 MBPs to arrive. I hope things go more smoothly for you and that you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Got the tracking number last night and it departed Shanghai at 9:07PM on 6/10. Looking like 6/16 delivery according to UPS which is the first day of the delivery estimate. Great estimation Apple.
Latest: 06/10/2020 9:07 P.M. Shanghai, China Arrival Scan
Scheduled Delivery 06/16/2020 by End of Day
Somehow the arrival scan was after the departure scan.
I got my $1799 unit from Best Buy today. Originally had the Base model with 16 GB memory. Sent it back and upgraded to this unit for $1599. Took 7 days to get to the California from New York via FEDEX Ground.
Even though UPS kept saying it will be delivered Friday, it turns out my UPS math was not wrong. It just arrived!!
So back to waiting, Ive send my Macbook Pro 2020 back, because of a Screen glitch and Apple Support was very kind and ordered a brand new one for me as a replacement with higher priority. It's now in Shanghai and UPS scheduled the delivery to Germany for the 15 June.
Thats what the truck said that just pulled up outside
DHL tracking changed once it reached their netherlands hub last night. By 9am today it had gone via germany to luton, then down to reading ready for the van to deliver today. Very sudden from just "tracking information received" that it said between shipping on friday/saturday last week, and 5pm last night when I looked last.So final details (BTO):
Ordered 27th May (Initial estimate 19th - 24th June)
Estimate quickly changed to 12th - 15th
Charged card 2nd June (money actually cleared 8th June)
Preparing for shipping 4th June
Tracking info/shipped on 6th June via DHL.
No change in tracking until 10th June (last night).
DHL tracking then took over (Apple still said between 12 and 15th), between about 8pm and 9am the next day, it'd gone through the european network and was out for delivery.
Arrived 11th June.

LOL! That's weird though. I wonder why yours is DHL and mine is UPS? Both in the same country.
I'm pleased you've got your machine! Mine's near London now, still due to be delivered tomorrow

I guess Macbooks shipped with DHL from Eindhoven are from Syncreon a partner of Apple. Syncreon is a logistics compny taking care of some shippements and also the the refurbish stuff.

It got all the way to the local depot and an hour later at 8am there was a message: "Your package has been delayed due to events beyond our control. We're adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible."
Delivery has now been rescheduled for Monday, the original due date.
