Mine shipped just after 8:00 tonight (Shanghai time). I ordered at 12:41 PST. I was quoted 3-5 days on the order checkout. I paid for standard shipping but I called to talk to applecare about canceling so I could buy a unit in store. He then said they wouldn't have the 2.8 w/ 7200 combo and upgraded me to free shipping. I didn't even ask he just offered it. I converted to Apple in 2006 and have had several great customer service experiences and 1 drawn out really bad one that worked out in the end.
 
Mine is about to be shipped too

Just got the notice it was prepared for shipment, and still says next Monday through Thursday, but it has been my experience that regardless what I order if it is shipped internationally, then it just gets air shipped to the nearest FedEx distribution, which happens to be in my town, and so I get it just as quick as anyone else: in fact, the displayport adapter that shipped yesterday (via FedEx ground) is set to arrive the same time as my laptop.
 
My BTO pro is in transit, so I hope that means it'll be here tonight.
