Thats's the info on the DHL tracking page.
So I guess it will be at the distributor on MON evening and come as early as tuesday to our homes.
Got a tip for us?

Just reach out to them and ask
Nooooooo I'm doomed! I called them at 18:04 and they closed at 18:00! Now I can't satisfy my Need to get more Information and make sure that it indeed arrives on Tuesday. Oh what shall I do? I guess I can only pray...
I'm not sure where you're looking but this is the estimated arrival date that i'm seeing on the DHL Flight Track Site: Sun, Nov 20, 2016 00:01 (Local)
Next Cargolux to Amsterdam from Shanghai is CV6996, should have left about an hour ago but maybe slightly late
Due in AMS tomorrow 6.30am...

That's how I understood it too. First batch will likely arrive Tuesday at our doorstep.
According 7CP2812,
Carrier: Arrived CZ453 Amsterdam Sat, Nov 19, 2016 11:02 thats mean it arrived at Amsterdam.
Estimated Delivery Mon, Nov 21, 2016 18:00 what is this mean? i think it maybe mean we should receive our Mac on that time?

I think it will arrive in Eindhoven at that time (= estimated delivery) where it will hopefully be fast enough for a Tuesday delivery. It would make sense because it would be the final step before our DHL Express tracking starts.
Those are two different times. You are talking about the estimated arrival, presumably the time the flight arrives to AMS. The time @phloo is talking about is Estimated Delivery, whatever that means.
Hi. I was not able to follow the thread today. We currently think the delivery is at Tuesday?
Possible.
Maybe your MacBook is on this flight: 7CP2811

I personally don't, I think people are getting over excited right now, not seeing evidence.
Latest info is DHL Cargo tracking number: 7CP2811
TBH it's hard getting excited if the new speculation is to receive our MacBooks merely 1 day earlier than the latest date given in our delivery window (and est. delivery).
A few hours' absence from this thread and I come back to find someone figured out the DHL flight! Well done guys!
Now, I believe we have enough information to figure out what happened with Europe being later than the US:
Taking into account that:
This was made doubly difficult for them by the fact that they had to expedite the people with 3-4 week estimates into the 2-3 week slot, otherwise those customers would have got annoyed at the apparent priority given to BTO orders.
This could also be why Schiller didn't specify that only the US would be shipping in 2-3 weeks in the keynote: the plan was for the online store to make it clear which countries were shipping when, but they messed up and gave people 2-3 week dates rather than 3-4 weeks.
Now, I believe we have enough information to figure out what happened with Europe being later than the US:
Taking into account that:
- When the Apple Store went live on the 27th, the stock models were shipping in 3-4 weeks whilst BTO models were 2-3 weeks (very unusual)
- Our good friend @MaximTV's MacBook - which had a 3-4 estimate - is on the same flight as 2-3 week orders
- Orders are arriving towards the end of the original estimate (again, very unusual for Apple not to hit the start of the date range)

Btw, how come the DHL tracking page for 7CP2811 shows CV6995 going from PVG to AMS, whereas searching for CV6995 elsewhere results in https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/cv6995 showing PVG to LUX?
The tracking though seems to suggest that it will arrive on Monday at 18 in AMS, not Eindhoven! If that will be the case, will it make it to our houses the next day? I think not...
EDIT: plus 1000kg is around 500 MacBooks or even less...

I beg to differ. He didn't effectively manage the supply chain to make sure supply could meet demand, and all he did was fiddle with the distribution chain to pull stock away from region a to satisfy region b. But even that he couldn't do efficiently since now you have US stores having them in stock whereas EU stores don't even have display models.
I'd say that's the opposite of genius
After looking in more detail 2x800 kg shipments have arrived in Amsterdam already. And there are some more due to ship tonight.
7CP2811 combined "DHL air transportation and ground transportation"
7CP2811 will arrived at Germany by flight and go to Netherlands by ground transportation, this is my thought. Cause it is cheap do this way for logistics
