Same here.
I think there won't be any issues with it. Previous times iPhone/iPad orders arrived from China to my home a day later.
It could happen for you ...
Mine left China Monday night just before midnight ... and was delivered Tuesday morning in the midwest after going through Memphis. This was with purchasing the expedited shipping.

That is so awesome! It's really impressive: shipment label created in China late Sun night and then it is delivered to your doorstep early Tue morning. That is too cool!

What I found amusing ... is that it left Shanghai CN at 11:04 PM Mon. night, and arrived at 12:00 AM Tues. morning in Memphis, TN. Only 1 hour ... plus a few time-zone crossings
I was pretty impressed with FedEx to get it delivered so fast!

That's awesome. In NZ they use TNT, who are hopeless. Mine left Shanghai Pudong airport 48 hours ago and no sign of anything since. Usually it then shows as arriving in Christchurch airport (20 miles away), then it's about 7 days from there to here. We don't get a choice who Apple uses for delivery.

Mine left Shanghai on Tuesday morning, arrived at Memphis on Tuesday evening, and was delivered in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning. I also had Expedited Shipping (hence FedEx)
Clue: They likely won't.
Mine changed to preparing for dispatch yesterday with an estimated delivery between today and Monday 27th. Would you say there it's possible that it could be delivered to me today? I'm in UK, apparently its delivered from Leicester?
And mine finally moved From Alaska today and made it to Kentucky a couple hours ago. The delivery date changed back to Monday though instead of tomorrow. Makes no damn sense, another guy's that made to to Alaska on the plane with mine, made it to Kentucky yesterday. Frustrated I won't have it over the weekend.
possibly. I'm based in London and ordered on launch day and it is due today....from china to UK is a bizarre route however:

Aha right so what time of day di you think it would dispatch and thus what time it may be delivered?
sorry just read your message again, I doubt if it was despatched yesterday you will get it until mid week next week...
Yes but the latest it will be delivered is next Monday? So why would it arrive mid-week?!!
ok if it is already in the uk then i suppose its likely......i thought you meant it had just been despatched from china yesterday, if that was the case as you saw from my tracking it would be unlikely to arrive anytime soon...
This is my first post here. Hello guys.
I ordered my BTO within minutes of the store opening again only to change my mind on the configuration, cancel and reorder the next morning which pushed my delivery time back.
I went for the i7, 16gb of ram and a 512GB ssd. I've been agonising over the gpu but I'll wait for it to arrive now and see what it's like.
I got an email yesterday saying the item is ready for shipping via UPS but it's sat in Shanghai since yesterday with a estimated delivery time of Wednesday 29th of October to London UK.
Unfortunately we can't choose any expedited delivery from Apple over here but deliveries to London tend to come pretty quick.

Does anyone know why it scanned for arrival after being scanned for departure? That doesn't seem to make much sense.

So at nearly 8am, my computer was reported to be at the airport this morning but although I've had plenty of Fedex deliveries from the airport, I've never had a UPS one that wasn't from my local depot so this should be interesting It still says for delivery today so.
It still says for delivery today so.I ordered a cto imac 10 mins after they went on sale and have exactly the same tracking information as you with the same times and everything! (Also shipping to London)
I was confused about why arrival came after departure too!
I would love to learn how they decide where to route these things. Mine went from Anchorage to California then to Seattle where it is now. You would have thought yours would have done the same. Presumably mine will go to Vancouver next? Delivery still says Monday, but there is some hope.
