It looks like matte orders are running a week behind. In any case you two will likely receive the first of either type--be happy with that.

The problem is that mine is shipped but is taking 9 days to reach me. I ordered it on 14-1, it's being shipped on 17-2 and delivered on 26-2.
The status is that it is in transit and Apple cannot inform me where it is. They gestimate that it will pop up in Luxemburg somewhere next week. From there it will be send to Tilburg where it's handed over to UPS. Till that time the status will be "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly." I consider 1 week time not as shortly.
Apparently this all has been caused by ordering Apple Care.
im in exactly the same situation as you, why Apple is so stupid they cant add Applecare at the factory i dont know, surely its easy to just add a serial number to a database and throw a certificate in the box, but noooo its going to take 2 weeks extra if your having it shipped anywhere in europe. when i phoned Apple last night they told me they get it added in a UPS hub, wtf?!?! UPS are doing it?!?! Mine was shipped from China on the 17th and they said that i would get my tracking number on the 23rd and recieve the computer on the 26th.
Just arrived
Hi folks. My 17 just arrived in London (UK), left China on the 18th. Ordered Feb 2nd via the UK Apple online store (with minor staff discount through the company I work for). Stock model + 7200 drive. Picture attached. Note that's a glossy screen (apologies for poor iPhone image). Battery was 96/97% charged on arrival and had one cycle.

mine doesnt ship till next friday, 27.2. that's with an original order date of 6.1. funny, how they are pushing the ship date up now for new orders yet they've yet to fullfill one pre-order.
Mine's already in Sydney but I think it will get to me on Tuesday :'(
I really doubt that they would work on weekends, or even get things ready on Friday afternoon so I think Monday would be the day where they ship it from Sydney to Melbourne then to me. So basically, earliest for me: Monday. Latest: Tuesday.

I just got off the phone with Apple...I told them I wasn't happy with this and they offered me a free case. Not that I'm much happier now, but at least they are trying to make up for it
Why do people keep asking this? Is it some kind of internet meme?
My Core Duo MacBook Pro from 3 years ago had a 7200 rpm drive. It has always behaved impeccably.
Yeah, it's a good sign.
People might be curious about the new body construction and it's reaction to the spinning.

Interesting. Hard to not want to check these things out. I have never heard of tracking the plane.
Anyway, I looked at the FEDEX flights and a bunch from Indianapolis, but none right now to Houston Intl. KIAH.
The FEDEX tracking says it left Indianapolis FEDEX location at 3:55AM. I am not sure if Indianapolis is an hour ahead (i.e. on Eastern time), then that would mean it left there at 2:55AM central time and that would give it plenty of time to get to Houston, but nothing show any arrival on the tracking yet. They could be delayed in updating the tracking and it might be at the local FEDEX hub in Houston now since if it left the Indi FEDEX locaiton, then next stop would logically be Houston; UNLESS, the 23rd estimated delivery date means they can run it all over the US until Monday.
We'll see...
nothing is greyed out on my order yet and i ordered almost a month before you... almost the end of the day in china, so i doubt anything is going to happen until next week. i'm extremely annoyed. i bet the glossy starts showing up in apple stores this weekend and they cant even ship a damn matte.
Ok, I think that mine went from Indianapolis to Dallas/FW, then to Houston, but tracking still says just "departed FEDEX location" from Indi.
Edit: Okay, Indianapolis is Eastern time (as you all know by now), so FEDEX time of 3:55am leaving there is Houston time of 2:55am. However, I really am having a hard time piecing together whether something is arriving in Houston with this package or not because if they made a stop or two overnight, then that muddies up the water. I do have fun tracking it though.
Now that I have looked at the flights landing in Dallas, and the fact I don't have an updated status that the package is in Houston on a truck by now, it is probably not going to be delivered today; however, I have had FEDEX deliveries show up before tracking even stated they were in town. UPS's tracking is much more timely, in the big scheme of things. I give it a 30% chance of showing up today.

My one last status is "In transit" at Pudong... Ok, but there hasn't been single TNT plane leaving from there since the time of shipping...
lovelost, how have arrived yours? If via TNT, could you post a screen of your shipment history, just for reference, since all we have here is UPS and FedEx...
Thanks

Early delivery??
I just checked and my computer is at my local FedEx facility. I am so hoping I get it today! My estimated delivery date is still Monday.
Anyway, I just called FedEx to see if it might be possible for it to be delivered early and they said I have to call this number to find out. 1-800-455-4588. They open at 9:00AM EST. (8 minutes from now)
My local facility is in Pittston, PA.

Just thought I'd put something out there for people waiting for there machines.
I've not yet had Apple bill me for my 17" - I have it in my hands right now and they still have not taken the money from my Bank account. I checked my account online and by phone with the Bank and both have independently verified that no payment by Apple has been taken. My account balance is not missing the £2,200 that the computer cost (I think I'd notice something like that)
I've never heard of a company shipping something out without first taking payment I don't know what is up with them. My bank said they have not even attempted to take payment or did the pre-authorisation thing or anything.
Very peculiar.

Good luck man. That'd suck knowing it was right there all weekend.

I am in the same boat, except mine hasn't updated to say when it has arrived at the next place it is going from Indianapolis. We'll see. I may call your number just for grins. Is that a general FEDEX number they only give people who call? I am wondering what they provide over the general tracking number.
You know that FEDEX tries to use the automated system for most questions because it is cheaper that way. I guess if you are persistent enough to get past the automated tracking info lady who says, "now I just told you this is the latest information available; so don't be tryin' to go around me" hogwash; then they give you more tracking goodies like a special secret decoder pin 1-800 number.
