Mine is at my local FedEx center, which is about 4 miles from me. It arrived there at 7:35 am this morning.
I called FedEx and was told that if it doesn't go out today, I wouldn't be able to pick it up because it's most likely still "containerized" in her words. Usually the FedEx center loads things on the truck by 6:30 so I've probably missed delivery by about an hour.
Monday it is.

It just arrived. #
Unfortunately probably won't be able to set it up due to work and meetings. #

I'm pretty sure you're the first! Be sure to post your own thread when you get around to it. I'm sure some of us will have questions about the 1.3 and stuff. All goes well and I'll have mine on Monday and be selling my rMBP at the end of next week.
Looks like southerndoc is sitting on a 1.3. No doubt everyone will be interested in a personal report and a little Geekbench action.
Rock on!
Posted in another thread. Initial GeekBench sucked (probably because of background processes), but latest is below. Much better.

You should post that in your original thread. You've upset a lot of people and caused some to change their minds with your original screenshot of poorer than expected results
I placed my order for the Space Grey 1.3gHz 512GB model on April 20. I wonder if the order will come before the estimated 4-6 weeks. Maybe production will pick up as the weeks progress?
Ordered SG/1.3/256 on April 12th and no signs that it is arriving anytime soon for me. I'll post when my card gets charged.
Pre-authorization
Finally after reading all these posts I wake up this morning to find my credit card has a pre-authorization for the full amount. The Apple website still shows "Processing Items" and ship 3 - 4 weeks with delivery May 8 - 15 but I'm hopeful it will be on its way soon.
I ordered a SG 1.3/512 the morning of April 10 and I'm in Washington, DC.

3 days later and my charge still says pending and order page still says "processing items"

Guys. Out of curiosity I checked how long they estimate the shipping for a 1.3 order placed today and it shows the usual 4-6 week estimate. Than I saw that under 'See Delivery Dates and Options' the 13$ 2-3 business day shipping manages to drop the estimated delivery by a few days. Was this option available when I placed my order for the 1.3 on the 17th? I could have sworn both estimates were identical and didn't see the need to spend extra money on expedited premiums that would not make a difference. Could have also been oversight on my part; regardless Apple say that they cannot change the shipping method without cancelling, even though it is still weeks from shipping. Tried to offer to pay the difference to no avail.

Yup, there should have always been a difference. Expedited shipping is slightly faster.
Oh well, wasn't by much it would appear. Just hope for them to ship earlier than expected in the same way as the first batch did. Pipe dreams...
