So mine has finally arrived in the UK at Stanford Le Hope.... think it’s come from Cologne by boat lol
If only they sent it on a plane to East Midlands I’d probably have it tomorrow

I ordered a MBP 13" 2018 i5/16/256 config yesterday evening and it is still in 'Processing order' status. When are they usually shipped when a configuration is made?
And are all orders shipped from Shanghai? Or is it depended on receivers location?

You might have to dig back to find my horror story for processing, but my processing took 2 and a half weeks. You probably wont have to go that long, but it can take a while.
Wow, that's a long time.. I have read a couple og pages back and could see that some people are lucky to have their macbooks shipped within 1-2 days. Crossing my fingers.
Will keep an eye on this, I ordered my i5/16GB/512 last night. As it seems quite a popular configuration I’m hoping it won’t take long as I currently have no computer. When ordered, it estimated 2-4 business days to dispatch.
How long should it take from "Dispatched" to first tracking events for BTO version? I had to choose normal shipping, because expedited shipping wasn't available for Finland.
It's been now about 40 hours since I got Dispatched email and tracking doesn't show anything.
*edit*
I just called to DHL, Apple has screwed up the order... Local Apple phone support opens in an hour, let's see what they have to say.
*edit*
1st level support didn't even understand what was going on.
DHL said that Apple hasn't ordered a pickup for my package so they aren't doing anything to it so I should contact the sender.
Apple's 1st level support just keep saying that everything is ok and this is perfectly normal. She couldn't verify or check anything useful and she couldn't even understand what the DHL tracking meant. She said that BTO's tracking code doesn't activate until the package is in Europe (Netherlands?). All my previous BTO trackings have started from China, as many others here.

No tracking for me until its in the UK as its joining up with other items. Still show as estimated delivery by the 9th but I suspect it might end up being earlier.
So mine has had quite a journey, never had a UPS delivery come this very strange route, even once entering the UK 
UPS were saying it would be delivered tomorrow, however now there is no delivery date listed
UPS were saying it would be delivered tomorrow, however now there is no delivery date listed I think yours will be delivered with a fully loaded air miles card.
So mine was due for deliver 7-9th, firmed up for the 9th just got a UKMAIL text saying its going to be delivered tomorrow.
Now need to decide if I do a Depot pick up or delay the delivery. Mmmm

Min was scheduled originally for August 7. Shipped on July 30, and now delivery expected August 8. Unlike others who got theirs early, looks like mine is coming later than expected.
Finally My order is in ready for shipment status. Can I expect it to be shipped today?
