I'm 2-3 weeks and still NOTHING...

A guy from Denmark (in the other read) just got FPS this morning and he has same delivery window as you (18-25NOV right?). So there is hope!

(Edited to note it's from the other thread)

Any chance we might be able to track our shipping before the shipped status? Today I am supposed to receive my activation code for UPS my choice via DHL, maybe I get lucky and and can see something.

Maybe a little bit before, but not that much. With other online shops I sometimes get a message from the carrier before the status change in the online store, but I cannot remember if this has happened with Apple. I have UPS MyChoice and the DHL account (with notifications), but nothing is showing up yet in either of them as of this morning.

I think it's really weird that BTO orders have the earlier release windows. I ordered a stock 13 inch touch bar model instantly after the keynote and went straight into the 3-4 weeks window. Would've expected the opposite but hey... this whole launch has been really messy from Apple's side.

The reason I ordered a BTO config is that by the time I got to the store after the keynote, the standard configs were all in the 3-4 week window. I assume that they sold out of their initial batch of stock orders pretty much immediately.

The standard configs were all in the 3-4 week window from the get go, at least here in Germany. I guess we EU customers should've gotten the message at that point already...

Maybe most stocks go to the stores first?
 
I am the one with a PFS from Denmark in the other thread. And it is a BTO model, 13" 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD..

So hang in there! Something is happening - finally.
Great news - So happy for you!! :D Please share information about shipment duration, where the it was sent from and a photo when it arrives !! :)

Am I the only one with a 16. - 23. window who still has the "Processing Items" Status?

Ordered about 4-5 hours after the keynote 15" bto with 2,9GHz, 512GB SSD, Radeon 460.
 
I ordered 15" BTO just after the announcement to Norway. Got 18-25 NOV as delivery time.
Today it changed status to "Preparing for Shipment"

:)

Yeah considering MacRumors is reporting that they are starting to become available to buy in store now, there's not a chance that the preorders will be delivered before store stock arrives. I never expected that to be the case

Hi quick question,

Are we certain that they're being shipped from China? Just the last few pre-orders I can remember were shipped to us from within the uk so only got preparing for shipment one evening, shipped the following evening then delivered the day after that. I'm just wondering if it's worth going through the hassle of asking to work from home tomorrow!
