There's a good chance it'll arrive a day or two before but there are no guarantees. I'm hoping for a Wednesday delivery. Its only one day before and would make my life much easier since I'll be home then!
And then you've got the torture of waiting by the window all morning, waiting for the delivery van and jumping at the sound of every car engine and slamming door. The joys of being a techie loser.

Hahaha! Actually I'm kind of hoping it gets to the depot the afternoon before or something so that I can try and pick it up direct. Doubtful but I can always hope.

Going by other peeps tracking info, I reckon it will be in the uk by later today and probably at your local UPS hub by tomorrow. I know UPS do not deliver at weekends, but I may be tempted to call them tongiht/tomorrow and see if I can go to the depot and pick it up myself.
Would be great at least having it for weekend as I'll have more time to play with it then
Whoop whoop whoop. Overnight mine went back to Germany from Netherlands, then flew to the East midlands, and arrived in Cardiff 6 this morning. Now it's out for delivery! And i'm in work! Luckily I work right next to the UPS hub so I can just swing by and pick it up later on.

Seems like you should have it today! It's in the van driving to your neighborhood...........
update -actually scratch that, didn't realize this was an apple update, tell us what your UPS tracking says instead.
Mine is heading to Hay-on-Wye near Hereford which is near Worcester so it would make sense that we're on the same shipment. Do you know where the nearest UPS hub is? I might have to try and pick it up on Saturday (rain forecast all weekend... perfect for messing around with a new toy) and I'm in London all next week.
Looks like I won't be getting mine until next week sometime. Still stuck in Korea somewhere.
Thankfully I have a week off next week whilst I changed jobs, house and country, but will be back in the UK on Wednesday for a couple of days so hopefully I'll have a note from UPS to pick it up. At least I better have a note, or I won't get it for a very long time!

Mine's been shipped too!
Looks like we've separated then as mine is still 'prepared'... and has been for 3 days now. I've begun to think that either the website status is completely random, or it updates by some bizarre batch process that bears no relationship to when things actually happen(ed).
In any case, it's damned annoying!

I am in the same boat. Mine has been stuck on prepared since wend. Well this bites, looks like another batch went out and ours are still in china, who knows what prepared to ship actually means, seems like the next status after ordered so they may not even be built yet. Well its been 7 business days since i ordered so looks like apple has missed the original quote.
If you order a custom online, can you return it within 14 business days for a refund? Off to HK next Thursdays and need a laptop for the trip, might just pick one up this weekend.
I think under UK 'distance selling' regulations they have to allow you to return it. In fact some users have reported that if you call and threaten cancellation (especially after it's prepared to ship) they actually knock money off. I haven't bothered with this as every time I've phoned them previously they've been pretty much useless and uncooperative - even when they've screwed up!
Don't get me wrong - I love Apple stuff, just find the whole ordering/shipping process really convoluted and irritating. Add to that the questionable (telephone) service and it doesn't make for a great customer experience. The retail stores are a different story, but sadly the don't stock the top end models.

Mate, you might want to check your order.
Mine has just been updated to shipped. With a delivery date of 28th in london.
This just happened in the last 15 min.
