I really wouldn't sweat it.

Almost certainly, yours will catch the same flight to the USA as everyone else's.

You didn't mention where you live, but perhaps you live somewhere that requires more time for delivery within UPS's network, but either way -- UPS and FedEx both build in extra time for the estimated deliveries from China. Both will actually move it through their systems as fast as possible, and typically things are delivered a day (or sometimes two) early.

For example, I also ordered a rMBP 13", it shipped from china on thursday with an estimated delivery date of tuesday. It actually arrived at my city's fedex depot on friday night, and almost certainly will actually be delivered on Monday.

In case anyone else is curious and wants to compare status ...

Noticed something weird on my UPS tracking screen:

ZhengZhou, China 10/25/2013 11:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
10/25/2013 10:15 P.M. Departure Scan
10/25/2013 7:00 P.M. Origin Scan
China 10/26/2013 11:11 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

On 10/25 11:00 PM there is an arrival scan as most others see on their status. However, on 10/26, 11:11 PM there is a scan that states "Order Processed: Ready for UPS".:confused:

Probably just an error.

Ordered 32GB AT&T Gold on 9/21 at 9:30 Eastern Daylight Time. Went to shipping yesterday. Is in ZhengZhou as of Saturday morning.
 
For everybody who has a delivery date of 10/29, expect to see tons of movement on the UPS tracking in the coming hours.
 
We can't still be on launch day orders, can we?

At this point, it looks like Apple isn't even going by the orders in which they were received, at least for those of us who ordered the Gold. I ordered on 9/22 and mine has shipped and yet some people that ordered on launch day are still waiting. The only thing I can think of as to why this may be happening is due to carrier availability but then again, they should still process the orders based on when they were received.
