Well f.u.c.k...
Now my macbook status has updated and will probably deliver tomorrow, another DHL shipment from the UK (my usb-c dock, yay!) that has been picked up already is now scheduled for Thursday. Wishful thinking to assume they would arrive the same day.
DHL stands for Delayed as Hell Logistics I guess.

Hey guys,
I ordered a 13 BTO straight after the keynote but I made the huge mistake of paying with SEPA instead of credit card. This way the order registered 5 days later (there was also a sunday AND a national holiday in between) and I got put in the 4-5 weeks, 12-16 December bracket. Somehow it got pushed to 12-15 (?), but it has been stuck in "processing" since then. Has anyone in the same situation had any progress so far? Do you think we will see our Mac before the estimated date?
Thanks!

I've gotten an update as well.
Ordered within minutes when the keynote ended, stuck since thursday with dhl, 9 days after america got it ... I think apple should increase the fairness factor of deliveries. Especially if you now see the macbook for cheaper at places like centralpoint. Next time I'm not buying anything @ launch time anymore.

To be fair to them - and I was getting really frustrated on Monday when I'd been stuck at the stage 1 since Friday afternoon - they've shifted these units on rather quickly - Mine only switched over to be delivered today 24 hours ago, and it's been delivered one day before the window of 23rd November-1 Dec I was given and much earlier than the 28th estimated date I was given by Apple last Friday.
Their tracking updates do leave a lot to be desired though - not helped by Apple's decision to treat the EU as not important as the US.
It's weird on the DHL tracking page that when stage 2 Processed was added, stage 1 changed from "Shipment information received" to "Shipment picked up" with the same date and time of last Thursday. So have DHL had them all along?
The Touch Bar's PPI is ~220, roughly the same as the MBP: https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/799643395115261953
However, there's some discussion in the threads linked to the Tweet about the pixel layout etc. Perhaps that's the difference.
Well something's amiss - the text on the display is far crisper than the Touch Bar from equal distances.
It's probably to do with OLED, I find my Apple Watch pretty blurry compared to iPhone 6 for example with same PPI.
Mine's out for delivery right now. Still waiting on it. Saw a lot of people getting theirs in the morning though.
Came at 12:30 after only going out for delivery at 10:10 20 miles away. So came a lot earlier than I expected!
Well, the Touch Bar does have a 'matte' finish to make it look like the normal keys, which by its very nature will diffuse the light a bit, which softens is a fair amount.
Picked mine up today. Finally. 
Wont be able to play with it before tomorrow but obviously really looking forward to it!
God Speed to you all and may your MBP's arrive ASAP!

I'm in exactly the same situation
I ordered on the 29th through a friend who works for apple but he forgot to do the order and was only able to get it done on Monday the 31st.
I only got the option to pay with a banktransfer which finaly got through on friday 4th (there was a holiday in between).
My delivery window is 9/12-15/12 and no further info yet, still processing...
I know it's still a very long time before our window starts but I'm hoping it will arrive earlier.... I currently still have an old white macbook I bought in 2008
I've just had mine delivered an hour ago and I purchased it using student discount but I didn't get any verification email.
