Funny, I ordered the same model 5:20am launch day and I even live in memphis. Be nice if they shipped mine fedex but of course they shipped it UPS and my device is in KY now.

No luck here shipping over the weekend. Still wait on my order to move from processing to preparing for shipment. I guess the 5-10 days is dead on accurate for 128GB AT&T. When Tuesday comes it will be 5 business days.
At least my new 13" rMBP is getting attention. I'm amazed by the battery life and responsiveness, and I'm coming from two fairly beastly older 2011 Macs. But this is a whole other story for another thread.

I ordered my Mini Retina on Nov. 12. For some reason UPS shows the initial order processing happening on 10/09/2013!
It has been stuck at Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong since 11/14 at 2:30 AM Hong Kong time, which is approximately 10 AM on 11/13 Pacific time. It's been stuck there over 4 1/2 days!

It's obviously a bit silly to constantly check the tracking info but I find the logistics pretty interesting too. I noticed that packagemapping.com has an entry at the top that doesn't appear in UPS for a nearby city (but not the destination city). So I'm assuming there's some detailed tracking info it's tapping into that UPS doesn't show. Or it 'guessed' the next city on the route but I doubt that.
It also suggests that my package was in Portland OR, Bellingham WA and Richmond BC all at the same time so who the heck knows.
The man I spoke to asked me if I know how to use an ipad. I said no, and he reminded me that it doesn't include a manual and told me how to access it from the ipad. I asked what is included in the box, whether it comes with earbuds case charger etc. he said only charger, I said oh ok I'll just wait until it arrives then go accessory shopping so I don't get the wrong size case. He kindly offered to send me some earbuds.

You know, I've been thinking more about the UPS tracking information. It states that the 'billing information received' date is Oct. 9, 2013. I'm wondering if that is a typo or if some of the minis were actually manufactured on that date and have been waiting at the UPS hub ever since.
I ordered a 32GB wi-fi only mini on the 12th, it left China on Saturday 16 and it's now out for delivery in Italy... less than 48 hours and over the weekend, pretty amazing.
Same situation here. Fear not. I foresee it arriving in Louisville, KY today (Monday), as swell as departing to your local hub. Then on Tuesday, it'll be put on a truck and out for delivery.
I finally got a confirmed delivery date, at wednesday 20th this month!
The package will arrive Norway tomorrow at TNT, and then is going to be handed over to Posten for handling, and delivered on my door between 10am and 4pm at wednesday!
(Unless they screw something up though)

Mine arrived this morning in the Netherlands. ETA for 11/22 so far .
I guess Posten is the post office ? How did you learn it wasn't TNT who is going to deliver ?
18 Nov 2013 10:25:54 Arnhem Hub ?!
Mine is supposed to be delivered today, guess that will not happen :/ (austria)
Same here with my 64GB Verizon (silver), processing since the early hours of Tuesday morning.
It's now been four and a half days that the device has been sitting in Chek Lap Kok. Four and a half days.
I ordered at 5:00am (Eastern) the morning of launch, and it's looking like the device is nowhere near me.

10.24 :44 to be precise ! Yes at Arnhem hub ..
I called TNT and the man I spoke to said my parcel was in Belgium ! (I guess he doesn't know where is Arnhem..) so it might be delivered sooner than expected.I'm in France.

When did you guys order? And what specs?
I ordered on launch day around 9:00 GMT. Apple said it would be shipped from 5 to 10 business days but it was done in just 2 (on Thursday).
It's white, 32GB, Wifi.
16GB space grey ordered 5 am launch day, scheduled delivery 11/19. Odd thing is that I don't see any flights from Anchorage to Louisville today? And its still in Anchorage.
