Still no change for me. Mine is set to arrive Thursday the 2nd, what about yours?
UPS Sucks, I wish Apple would always use FedEx.
Well in my experience, UPS has only caused me grief. I really don't know why Apple bothers with them. FedEx on the other hand have always been amazing.... Maybe just luck with FedEx.... Oh well. I wish I could pay extra to pick a carrier.

For those of you in the US, who have a tracking number: there's a great (free) package tracking service that will send you notifications as your package status changes or moves around:Notifications can be sent via SMS, email, twitter DMs, facebook messages, or RSS feeds. I happen to like twitter DMs because I can then get push notifications on my iPhone/iPad (I don't like email notifications because it clutters up my inbox).
It's a great timesaver, as I no longer have to sit around, hitting the refresh button.
(The notifications aren't quite real-time, but they generally seem to be within 10-30 minutes of the status change. However, one exception is the final, "package delivered", notification, which can sometimes occur hours after it's actually happened.)
However, note that this service is at the mercy of the various carriers: some carriers update the package status quickly, while other don't seem to.

Staring to feel like a chicken pecking a button hoping for a reward, alas nothing new from FedEx. Mine is expected Thursday as well.

Mine has this exact same travel history. With estimated delivery of Thursday, I hope FedEx stops joy riding around Shanghai with my rMBP and finally gets it airborne...

curious, did it come with ML
Doubtful. Mine shipped on the 26th and it came with Lion. One tip on that front. You don't have to wait for the delivery to get your ML code. Apple sends an invoice via email; the serial number is in there. I was able to get my redeem code ready so I had it this morning when my rMBP arrived. Other than waiting on the download it was a quick process.
Cheers.
Woohoo! It's on its way to me as we speak (write?). So glad this month-long wait is over!

oh nice thread!
Status: Processing
Ordered: 15/07/12
Ships: 2 - 3 Weeks
Delivers 02/08/2012 - 08/08/2012
Destination: Singapore
Base model 2.3/8/256
Hey guys! any idea how long before the estimated delivery date does it change from processing to preparing to ship or shipping? Dont see how its possible to deliver by 02/08/12, if the status is still showing processing now, of course it might still deliver between between 02/08/2012 - 08/08/2012 but it still shows shipping 2 -3 weeks! iv also been reading through the thread and it seems many people are getting theirs before the expected delivery date. Hope mine will be changing soon?

Currently installing mountain lion.
Nice, I didn't notice the serial number. Thanks. (Personally, I'd rather have Lion preinstalled, as that means that I can make a Mountain Lion USB stick.)

I am now in possesion of my new rMBP! UPS delivery about a half hour ago. Installed my Bodyguardz full body film and booted up. It took 10.9 seconds to boot completely! No dead pixels. Not much lag but still on Lion (it shipped with Lion) and now downloading ML to upgrade the OS. Well worth the month wait for it to arrive!

Netherlands here too:
Ordered on 19th of july

Still processing items.
There were only, let me see... a total of three flights from either Anchorage to Memphis or Anchorage straight to Newark between yesterday 2:21pm AKDT and now. But of course why would FedEx put my rMBP on one of those? What a preposterous thought! Let it sit there for a good 24+ hours!
I think I won't see movement until today in the afternoon and hopefully it'll actually get here tomorrow. 2-3 day shipping my ass.
No just standard. It says shipped now by FedEx with estimate delivery August 6, Friday. I have to order a skin for it until incase or incipio comes out with some hard shells.
It changed to preparing to shipment at about 8:30pm last night MST. I think they get them ready kind of late. Try checking around then. FedEx picked it up at 5:30am which is I think about when it started saying shipped. The tracking number came right before 5:30.
I did order with an education discount, I think I forgot to mention that.
