I ordered mine the 15th and it finally shipped today, the 21st. Looks like it's going to take them about five days to get it here to the midwest from Shanghai, although if I know one thing about FedEx it's that if they don't make their estimated shipping date, it's because you've already received your package. ;D
From what I've been reading in this thread, the later in the month you ordered, the faster it's gotten to you. Apple doesn't seem to care enough to give earlier orders higher priority.
I'll cross my fingers for the weekend, maybe Saturday.
I really think you should try calling Apple Sales Support (1-800-676-2775) and demand to know why your order has yet to be shipped before you do something like that. If I had waited as long as you, I'd probably have called a long time ago.Ok so I think I will try something - I will cancel my order and then reorder it today and my shipping date will be by friday!!?
Yep, you're right. The method of delivery Apple uses (International Priority DirectDistribution® Freight) is Monday-Friday only. Shucks.As far as I know, FedEx doesn't do Saturday delivery unless you're willing to pony up a crapload of extra money. Looking at last Saturday's posts in this thread, I didn't see anyone who got theirs delivered. I wouldn't bank on it coming on a Saturday. Sadly.

Of course if they give you the run-around that's an option, but don't expect it before July.
I live in Michigan, and I ordered a stock (matte) 2.2ghz. Currently, it's in Anchorage, AK so I'm hoping it will be here by Saturday. it doesn't look like I'll get it until Monday. =(
Heh, that's an admirably restrained reaction.Originally posted by jesstech:

I got all excited when mine got marked prepared yesterday, but there's been no movement since. Anybody know how long it usually takes between when something is marked "prepared for shipment" and it's actually shipped? Is it marked as shipped when it takes off from China, or do they wait until it hits Anchorage?
This is going to drive me completely insane over the next few days, I can already tell.
Woo, delivered at last. Now to get home!
It sounds like yours may have missed the truck!![]()

I need it before the 29th. Luckily shipments go to Holland directly from Pudong. So I might be lucky. *fingers crossed*. Hopefully the weather will be better soon.
