How are people tracking flights? I've put my reference number into http://expo.expeditors.com/ and its saying:
Booked
SHANGHAI, CHINA TO LONDON, ENGLAND
Export P/O Received: 05-Jul-2012 16:12:00 GMT
So from that i'm assuming that its flying from China straight to London?
June 18th order 2.6/16/512 delivers July 16-20 via 2-3 business days. USA store.apple.com. Just went to "Preparing for Shipment". Here is hoping I don't stay in preparing forever and get it on the low end of y estimated date.
Wow fast update just got an email from Apple saying my order shipped. FedEx tracking says picked up in Shanghai CN. Delivered July 11th by 10:30 am. That is 9 days earlier than the earliest estimate given by Apple. Again this was 2.6/16/512 ordered June 18th via apple online store
Just checked with my credit card company and they say that Apple put a hold on my credit card yesterday. Anyone know how soon after the hold, units usually ship?
I had a hold on my credit card after my order which cleared after 4 business days. Didn't ship until 2 weeks later.
I have been following this thread 10+ times a day for three weeks and finally needed to join. I ordered fully max 2.7/16/768 within 3 hours of store opening with the 3-5 week window (deliver 9-20). I have been fairly chill regarding the ordering except for checking my order 5-10 times a day and this site 10+. I had heard that some of the later orders were shipping earlier and felt it was urban legend. However, one of my closest friends ordered exactly the same computer (2.7/16/768) to the same city. He ordered his on 6/14 and had an delivery window of 7/12-7/18). Only problem is his order shipped on 7/2 and arrived 7/3. i called apple yesterday to explain how this "urban legend" was now fact. i had my friends order number and apple manager looked it up and verified. long and short of it is nothing really changed. i didn't ask for anything, but it is at least fact and they are aware. I am still processing and find it ridiculous that apple has skipped its biggest fanboys and fangirls who ordered $4000 fully stocked machines. go figure..... just wanted to set the record straight
This makes me really believe that the order on 06/11 never did anything. I'm wondering if this hold is from the new order that I placed yesterday! I no longer trust that my 06/11 order will ever be filled so I have a Plan C. Plan B is daily calls to the six stores in my area.

Thanks for providing fact to the so-called "Urban Legend" - I still think there is a glitch in their system that they either won't recognize or just won't admit. Maybe the unit I ordered yesterday will ship early and beat my 06/11 order! In the meantime, I'm listening to the Apple recorded message with 2 calls ahead of me.

2.7/16/768 ordered on 6/11
Well mine just changed to preparing to ship. Unfortunately my window just went from July 9-13 to July 10-16. Should I call apple and complain? At this point I just want my computer so calling them is probably just a waste of time.
Come on 19th i just ordered the base 2.3/8/256
Ask to speak to a manager immediately or you'll be wasting your time. Please post what you hear. I'm still processing too and have send emails to a member of their executive relations team. Hopefully there will be strength in numbers...
2.7/16/768 ordered on 6/11
Even speaking to the supervisor is a WASTE! Bottom line - if they are within their quote date - then tough luck! (My words, not their words!) Back to calling the 6 area stores. Let's see if my July 5 order ships before the June 11 order.
