Also free express delivery for me.
One positive thing: if there is a serious delay we will be informed one day earlier!

EDIT: my delivery windows slipped from 12-16 with standard delivery to express 9-15 first and now to 16-20 December with express
Something odd happening. Clearly a delay though as so many of us have been bumped to free express delivery to maintain the delivery estimates somewhat.

Exactly the same happened to my order. Germany. Ordered Nov 5th.
Originally: Dec 12-16
bumped up today to Dec 9-15
and one hour later switched to Dec 16-20
Estimated shipping date is Dec 15th (although not in PFS yet)
order still processing, amount has been authorized Dec 6th.
I have the impression that they exchanged some Laptops from this week due to some reasons.
 
Joining this thread, I ordered on 02/12 and have a delivery window much narrower than most : 28 Dec - 03 Jan (roughly one week vs 2 weeks for those who ordered before). I guess there's no luck it'll be shipped in advance ...
Ordered : Silver 13" TB, 2.9/512/16GB (AZERTY keyboard).

Dispatched. Does the tracking number they give you work on the DHL website? It doesn't work when I try it but I guess it can take time?

Shipping Update.jpg
 
Mine's been delayed. It was originally 13-19th, now it's gone to 20-22nd. My shipping is still listed as standard. :-( Someone on apple web chat is going to have a very angry customer to deal with at 8pm. I'm going to have to rearrange my annual leave for this delivery now.
 
Just had a rather fruitless web chat regarding my delay. It turns out web chat operatives can do nothing regarding Expedited Shipping. I complained quite a lot and didn't get any more information. Way to go apple, the wait for release and the order has been a nightmare and the machine hasn't even arrived.

Morning guys! Mine has just changed to P4S!!!!!! So happy!! How long can it say in P4S until it changes to shipped?

You are a very lucky customer. It looks like you'll receive your machine before me, in spite of ordering two weeks later. I'm very jealous.
 
As Trickster said, you are very lucky. I'm still in processing although I ordered a week before yourself. Very jealous as well. :(

I'm just hoping the machine will be faultless. No graphic issues, no scratches. Then I can pretend this nightmare of waiting for announcement and release never happened and actually get on with some work again. This latest delay has really left a sour taste in the mouth.
