Hang on...
What!? I ordered the exact same CTO as you at midday on the 11th. However, my Apple Order Status still says it'll be due in the UK for the 21st (tomorrow) with an estimated delivery of the 26th. No fair.
When are you meant to get the UPS tracking number? When it arrives in the UK?
I remember when I ordered my first iPod in 2004. It was a personalised Mini and it could be tracked via Apple for every stage in the shipping process and it would update you with its current location. 4 years later and I think my MBP is somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

I had the UPS Tracking on the Apple Order Page Monday I think. At that time UPS had just updated it as being collected in China.What!? I ordered the exact same CTO as you at midday on the 11th.

Something amiss with yours!
I thought Apple delivered with TNT in the UK? Still no updates for me. Maybe they had a CTO one already built for you.
TNT delivered two out of three packages tomorrow, guess which one was missing? No laptop, but according to the website a third package has been dispatch from Northampton (none of the others went via that way). Should be here today!
Guessing you've just changed to shipped then redrog? I have! Perhaps our machines are flying on the same plane/carrier pigeon. Desperately hoping this machine will pass my no doubt stringent quality control procedures...
well yes my replacement order has, but I really don't care about that anymore.
What do you reckon my chances are that I'll get a second mbp without Apple realising?
Well, to be honest, various aspects of this new release have been riddled with farce. So I would say you could get lucky, yes!
guess what?
My Macbook Pro arrived this morning with ipod and everything. This would have been a nice thing if I hadn't cancelled the order on Saturday, been explicitly told the items wouldn't be delivered and bought a stock model from the Apple shop. I had to send the guy away.
On a plus note, I've finished setting up my MBP and it's a beautiful beautiful thing. I have even splashed out on a time capsule to go with it (I got it from the shop - learned my lesson there!). It was slightly annoying to get the package through this morning and to have to send it away again. Part of me was wondering whether they might forget about it and I could have two for the price of one... But I'm guessing that wouldn't happen!
Hope you get yours soon redrog - this has been some ordeal for you...
Don.

Wonderful until I made the mistake of putting Windows on it.......
But all sorted now and all is well.
Mine came UPS, I see others mentioning TNT but this was definitely UPS.

Incredible. Only four days from China. Wonder if you must've got some special shipping. No idea why, your tracking info is incredibly detailed though. Mine arrived in the UK yesterday and is currently sitting in the Edinburgh TNT depot waiting to be delivered. It said Out for Delivery today, but no courier turned up. Guess it'll be Monday. Frustrating...
Got it.
It's gorgeous. No issues at all (fingers crossed). I just had a major cock up transferring my itunes library from an external drive though. iTunes can't locate half the media even though it is there....anyway, that'll be the rest of my night.
