I ordered the i7 11inch, with 8GB RAM and 128 GB SSD on Thursday afternoon. It switched over to "shipped" on Friday evening, and has been gone through these steps, without actually leaving China:
Shanghai, China 07/14/2012 21:57 Export Scan
07/14/2012 19:30 Arrival Scan
07/14/2012 16:27 Departure Scan
07/14/2012 12:40 Origin Scan
China 07/14/2012 1:25 Order Processed: Ready for UPS
It's scheduled to arrive here in Canada end of day Friday, but I'd be shocked if it takes that long. Once it actually gets on a flight out of China it's generally 2-3 days delivery.
Since I have my rMBP and this is just for having something extremely light when I want it, I'm not dying of impatience.
