Doubt it. See the link I posted a couple of messages back. It does regularly ship from Japan to the U.S. on Sundays but not from China.
Got a tip for us?

That's a god awful post. Only reason I'm buying the mac is not for the software; but for the hardware (in which case is the display). Windows plain sucks because you're experience is a HP pavilion? (which is a <$600 laptop aimed at consumer segments) What a joke, comparing a 1k+ macbook to a consumer barebones computer. Why not compare laptops of similar prices? HP Elitebook? Dell Precision? Lenovo Thinkpads? Fujitsu? All of the models I've just listed have equal or better construction.
I'm upgrading from a 5 year old Fujitsu laptop that is made of magnesium alloy (doesn't bend like aluminum), spill proof, wacom IPS panel, and a foray of incredible hardware.
Please leave your fanboyism aside--one of the very many reasons I've never used a mac in the first place.
And? I've never found a need to use OSX. I'm not a photographer, or "art" major. My use for a laptop is for an occasional game, hardware/cad engineering, and software development (with MS VS). There was absolutely no need for me to dabble with a $2k+ machine.
Having said that, I saw a picture of 2880x1800 with W8, and was amazed by the size of the workspace, hence why I purchased the machine.
Apple is not the darkside. Just because a company wasn't good at one point, happens to rise above the ashes to deliver a good product that consumers like. That's not the darkside.
That's some hater that's jealous his favorite company isn't getting the same attention.
BOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOOO

Ordered an hour after store went online.
The shippingstatus was changed yesterday to "shipped".
Mine too! Still says delivers by June, 25th tough.
They will merge the gift card and the MBP shipment in Prag according to the website...maybe that's why it will take so long?
I noticed that too when I was ordering mine. I still went with it. I had upgraded the drive in my Mini a year ago from 320 to 750. It sits now with 400 on it so I knew going with 500 on my new MBPR would fill in less than a year. So I opted for the biggest available.
That and using Tunespan should keep me OK for a few years.
Fedex seems to have their big hub for Canada in Calgary, not Toronto. I've had Apple purchases ship from Illinois to Calgary to Toronto.
I do have to giggle a little at someone saying the HP is the leader but apparently the EliteBook came out 4 years ago (last HP we bought was 4+ years ago) and HP has redone their lines a little. We used to buy HP because they used to be one of the best commercial makers of laptops. The DV7 line has a $1299 base price so all of them aren't under $600. Anyway, we personally had trouble with HP, so then I switched to Sony. Again, had more trouble and gave up and decided to switch to Apple.
Although if we didn't switch to Apple, I would've looked at Asus, MSI and some other systems where I can configure my own system online. The biggest drawback to those where size and weight (6 or 7 lbs for a 15" laptop and definitely not thin).
I just checked and was so happy to see this! Like a crazy lady, I just called FedEx to see if there was a chance I could pick it up at my facility today (my tracking now says its in my city) and he said its still at the airport. He said to keep checking to see I it moves, but most likely I'll have to wait until Monday.
Bubble burst.
