call them, unless there are some "weather issues" here in Canada, I don't see what's the delay could possibly be.
the worst case is that they are giving you wrong shipping info for someone else's macbook

I think that was me waiting.
Sweet machine.
Trackpad really does feel like it is clicking.
Yes it really does feel like a solid click.. I still checked it for visual movement, even though I knew that it wasn't!
My shipment is finally in the Great White North, currently sitting in Mount Hope, ON..... delivery scheduled for tomorrow with UPS.
Of course it is stock at Best Buy now -less than 24 hours before my order is about to arrive! I wouldn't have it any other way!
Seriously though, I hope some of you get the chance to pick one up today from BB.... Post lots of pics if you get one!

Mine has left Mount Hope, presumably for Concord. It was picked up in China on the 18th, but just to make sure it didn't get here too soon it spent three full days in Shanghai and a day plus three hours in Lexington. At one point they actually changed the date to Monday, but changed it back once it left Lexington.
Card of course was charged on the 18th.
Exactly the same story/waiting around times with me, although I don't have a departure scan from Mount-of-no-Hope yet.
Where do you live? I'm in Toronto, so Concord is the final step before the truck. If you're not in the GTA, it may have another plane trip ahead of it.
Anyway, I'm not greedy. You can share my departure scan.

Ahaha, thanks for sharing! I am in Toronto also, so hoping for some movement soon.
Just noticed that I don't have the "import Scan" yet either... time for the inner alarm bells to start ringing.
The crazy thing is when you turn it off. The electromagnet doesn't get power, so the trackpad doesn't move or click or ANYTHING. It's like it's broken. haha.
Oooh, you must be excited! Mine FINALLY shipped from China - should be here a week today. :S Fingers crossed.

Where do you see BestBuy Canada having them? I can't find them at all on the website.
Alternatively if you have issues, search for "MacBook" and adjust the filter/order to "newest", the 12" selection will pop up first.
Managed to Snag a Gold one (of all things) at the Leaside BestBuy this afternoon. Base Model. Typing on it now. My Space Grey one will be here next week from Apple and we'll see which colour I like better. 
I assume it'll be the Space Grey but the gold is not super garish - the reviews all said it was decent and it's not the worst.
So far, I like it, but this keyboard is still taking some time to get used to...
Another thing is that the power cable isn't SHORT per se, but it is shortER than previous laptops because it doesn't come with a Longer cable to connected to the brick - it just comes with the duckhead. So I've been using my current MBA's longer cable connected to the brick, tenth USB-C cable to the laptop. That gives me the length I need.

Used to be a lurker but felt I had to let people know. Yorkdale in Toronto has display models, Silver and Space Grey. They're waiting on Gold.
My first impressions:
It looks fantastic. Space grey looks great as expected (it's a little darker than the Space Grey iPhone 6, just by a bit). Silver is the one no one really talks about but I think it also looks amazing. I thought it would seem kind of ho hum, especially beside the Space Grey, but that wasn't true at all, I'd be perfectly happy with a Silver model. There was an rMBP next to it and it looked dated, when you take in the enclosure, trackpad, hinge and keyboard.
The keyboard is probabaly the most interesting part of it to me. When I first started typing on it I was instantly turned off and I was disappointed because I thought the keyboard was so bad. The travel is almost non existent, and while you know the key has been pressed and there's a subtle clacking, it's really jarring. BUT, after about 10 minutes of using it, I got used to it. It took my mind a little while to convince itself that the buttons were being pressed (it takes a very light tap for the keys to register) but after getting over that part of it I came to really like they keyboard. I made a fair few mistakes, something like 1 mistake every 10-20 words, but I could definitely see that improving with time. Right afterwards I typed on a rMBP, and the keys felt wobbly and the feedback wasn't as satisfying. If they add the butterfly mechanism and key size to the rMBP but maintain a similar amount of travel, the next redesign of the rMBP might have almost the perfect keyboard.
The trackpad is great as per usual. Force touch is trippy and awesome and totally convincing. There was one thing that might just be me personally. But I'm not a huuuugggeee fan of force click. It works, and it works well. There a couple things that bother me though. One, when I force click, I don't know quite how to explain this, but I can** feel that I'm interacting with a magnet. It feels like a click down, but it also feels like I'm slightly pushing against a force field or something. It's a little jarring, but again, that might just be me. Second, when you force click, releasing from the second level back to the normal level (non-click) isn't necessarily intuitive. Mostly because pretty much all buttons just have the one level. So sometimes I'd find I would force click, and release just one notch and move my finger, then when going to click something else I wouldn't realize that my finger was actually already in the first level and I have to let up on my finger even more. It's hard to explain, but long story short, it works as advertised, but it will take me time to get used to.
The display is incredible, I watched a 4k YouTube video and it looked great, no performance hiccups either. I liked the 1280x800 setting, everything is razor sharp. UI lag wasn't too noticeable in that setting to me, I resized Safari windows to test it and it was there, but it was also there with the rMBP next to me so I don't know if that's a Yosemite thing or what. I was using a 1.1 GHz model, think all the display models are the base config, and performance was fairly snappy. I never felt irritated or held back just exploring and opening apps. That being said I currently have a 6 year old windows laptop with a spinning hard drive, so I feel like any Mac would feel snappy to me due to the SSD alone. I'll be interested to see how much better the 1.3 GHz model performs to see if I would get it.
The size is great, it feels pretty insignificant in your hand, which is the best. The rMBP still looks fairly thin (especially because of the ports, don't know how much slimmer it could get with full size HDMI, USB, etc) but it has a heft to it. Not saying it's heavy(because it's not) but the weight is present. Not so with the MacBook.
Best designed notebook ever in my opinion. I have a serious decision to make when it comes to this vs the 13-inch Pro.
