What did you order? That's probably why you haven't shipped yet.

that's unfair, i am in MN USA
I have to agree. my order date is before his also. 5 minutes after the store came back up.
Order Date: Apr 13, 2010 at 05:40 AM PDT
Just upgraded the screen to the HR anti-glare but still hasn't shipped or prepared even
Apparently they don't do "first come, first serve" 
Mine hasn't but my case has.....I think Apple just wants me to wait like I did for this update......
Tried calling to possibly procure a free upgrade to expedited shipping as some have suggested... no luck. I didn't ask outright, but I did tell the guy that a more specific date than the "Apr 16 - Apr 22" estimate would be helpful as my current MBP is quickly dying and I may need to go borrow a machine if it's late next week instead of early next week. (Which is true, my Fn key just died, adding to my dead up arrow that's remapped onto Right Shift, and it's getting easier to drive the CPU up to 100C and repeatedly thermal throttle it...unless it decides to kernel panic instead which it's doing every few days now.)
Alas, no luck playing the sympathy card.

You should have asked. They changed mine for me but I had to ask. Within several minutes the addition appeared on my order details

My status changed to Prepared to Shipment too!
So Expedite shipping does include Saturday then? That would be awesome since I know I am in a Saturday delivery area!
I think I win, just got off the phone and the service person not only refunded my shipping she also offered me a free case. Got a black spec mbp case don't know if I will use it but those are $50 and she comped it to me
apple wins points in my book!

He seemed rather unpleasant and annoyed, having said both before and after my little story that he could not provide any info that the website couldn't. I'll call back a bit later and ask, since almost every Apple employee I've dealt with has been much nicer than that guy...
Go to fedex.com and get a estimated time/cost from some random major location (could use 10001 for NYC) to you, and do a "quick quote." Since it's Thursday, it'll show you both Saturday and Monday price options for 2-day shipping if Saturday delivery is available in your area.
My area is open saturdays too.... why does it make me pick though from pickup or drop off fedex location? does that mean my area only is available for pickup on saturdays?
I had originally ordered a printer with my 17" CTO but on speaking to Apple today I was told that the printer had gone from 24h to 1-2 weeks on back order.
So I cancelled the printer and was told I could buy it separately and still receive the rebate.
Since then my order's shipping method has changed to Fast Ship (EMEA) which I've discovered means that the courier takes charge of the delivery from the factory gate in China to my door.
If you order multiple items from Apple it seems that your order will be collated at a centre in Holland, obviously adding time to the delivery.
I have also read that a separate factory in China takes care of the 17" CTOs but I don't know how much validity there is to that.
Unfortunately my delivery date has still not changed from April 28th.

Cool thread!
I called in and talked to a charming older woman who explained that they have a target to start building BTO machines at the latest by the third day after the order comes in.
It sounds like what other posters have said, that they do them in batches based on configurations, and some buyers might get started quickly because they happened to order a configuration that was just about to be started.
Of course, this means nothing if your machine is already in stock. They just ship the machine.
Apparently, the machines have a port of entry in Alaska, then are changed to various other planes for a delivery hub closer to the final destination. I didn't want to talk her ear off so I didn't get into the specifics of what city my machine would come to, but she did acknowledge that it would be flown directly from AK to the eastern seaboard.
w00t!
