Anyone's BTO shipped yet? What is the ship weight through the tracking #?

Depends. It seems people in the U.S. are getting their MBP's shipped within 2-3 days, and they get the tracking number that moment, their MBP arriving a couple of days later. My case it was 2 days until shipped from China, and I got the number from FedEx right away, it arrived at my house 2 days later, so 4 days total. Once it's shipped, it should arrive within the time period you paid for. (so whether they ship it the day you order, or a week later, it will arrive within the 3 day time period you paid for, from the date it leaves China)
But it seems many people in Europe and elsewhere, are waiting on the order of a week or more before it even ships at all
Some seeming to never even get a tracking number... I'm really not sure what the deal is with that... Maybe the different carriers used? Or perhaps the different customs agencies in each country...Shipping of the new models of any Apple Product is always quite a mess it seems
But usually if one waits a few weeks or so after a new model they want is released, shipping seems to be in order again. Understandable, though rather annoying for the customer. My iMac was over a week late when I ordered it last year, and it drove me absolutely insane.

MBP - Shipping - Germany
Up to now, i.e. over the last several years, my Apple Store shipping experience have been mostly positive but not this time
Especially because my old MBP died on the 21st of February.
No Mac for 2 to 4 weeks - turning into a real personal disaster.

- Feb 25: order placed (15", 7200rpm harddisk, high res screen, sleeve)
- Feb 28: payment received by apple, order being processed, estimated arrival: 3-7 days after shipping
- March 3: order shipped, no trackingcode availlable
- ... still waiting
*sigh*

Mine: Merge In Tnst NL Til
Which means that my MBP will join its sleeve in Tilburg in The Netherlands
When will they give me a tracking number!!
Just because i ordered a VGA adaptor for my MBP they changed my order from BTO to custom built - thats what the apple phone help person told me
apparently they were building the adaptor from scratch! ridiculous...
If i had known this, i would have ordered it from amazon (who shipped me an HDMI adaptor using free delivery in the space of 4 days...)

BTO- Build To Order, means "custom built"
You'll get the tracking number when it ships, as far as I know. What country are you in?As for UK, BTO and Merge In Transit you will get tracking number when order will be merged and will hit UK. In my case the package is suposed to leave Luxembourg on Friday(tomorrow), so maybe they will deliver on Monday(Hopefully!) and provide tracking number over the weekend.
My 15"er is finally on its way to Sydney.. Ordered on the 28th of Feb.

I see, sorry for the mixup
Im getting it shipped to the UK
Apple just called me to confirm that UPS put my MacBook on the wrong plane and its now in the US instead of the UK lol now i have to wait an extra week to get it :< tough break.
My 17" MBP was supposed to be delivered to me today but at mid day apple tacking changed from not being updated to "delayed". Called apple and they said that all they are seeing is that its delayed and could not tell me how long or why, which is fair enough.
I called TNT who could not find the order for ages, they then told me that it was still in china! to which i knew was wrong as their own tracking site says its in not. They then found where it was and told me no more than apple new.
So I still have no idea of when my MBP is now due.
TNT tracking say-
09 Mar 2011 19:18:55 Arnhem Hub Shipment In Transit.
its been here for 24h now but some how it took 4 days to get there from china.
I fully understand that coming from China to Bristol, UK is a long way but as I have put a lot of money into my purchase as every one here has, it get very annoying and worrying when tracking is skipping parts of the journey out and is not real time.

Merge In Tnst CZ Pra and no end
A bit more than €3400 paid and after two weeks I don't even have a ******* tracking number.
I think I'm starting to get slightly upset.
UPDATE (1): The estimated delivery date just changed to 11 Mar 2011 (Subject to change)
UPDATE (2): It's UPS and I have a tracking number!
UPS says
A label for this shipment has been created, but UPS does not yet have possession of this shipment. Once we receive the shipment, the tracking status will be updated.
Label Created On:10.03.2011
