I paid for standard shipping because I expected it to arrive early next week. I'm out of town during the week so as long as it got there by Thursday or Friday, it would not have mattered.
From what people have said, the expedited fee is not expedited shipping, but expedited processing. It could be a gimmick though because Apple has been pretty fast getting these out. Before the order was placed, they estimated shipping will be in 2-4 days: it was 2. They also estimated delivery at Oct 30-Nov1. It'll arrive by 10/30. That's not bad at all considering it's a build and ship from China and the order was placed at 3pm on a Tuesday.
Mine is expected to arrive by 4:30 on Wednesday so maybe you might get yours then.

Got my Time Capsule today - plugged it in and set it up already. That was fast and easy enough. Did a speedtest and it was 50MB UP/11MB down.
I think this has nothing to do with TC though. I'll have to wait until MBP gets here to test the speed.
Also, my cable modem has a built-in router. Do I really need to disable to wifi on it? I created a new network and ssid for TC.
Ordered BTO around 7 P.M. on the 22nd,15"/2.6/512, went to preparing for shipment! Not my first MacBook Pro, but my first non-cheap base mac.
Don't you worry, all. It's coming. I bet it'll be delivered on the earlier date range given.
Wow!!

BTO order for 15" 2.0/16/256 placed Tuesday night, handed off to FedEx on Friday at 9:48AM Shanghai Time.
I think a lot of ours are going to be on tonight's (shanghai's 12 hrs. ahead of Eastern time) FedEx flight. Can't wait any longer!
You might as well get the i7 too, make the best use of that extra ram.
Simple rule. Buy the highest spec you can afford regardless of use now. In 18 months time the highest spec now will be mid range or lower.
i7/16/256
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing. I probably don't need more than 256, but that's different than maxing out on CPU/RAM.
Glad to see same BTO config as mine is shipping. I ordered Thursday and still processing
Mine will be, I hope Tom Hanks is not in the jump seat, otherwise, my giga-hurts....
Ordered Oct 22, after the announcement.
Still Processing.
I got my thunderbolt-to-dvi and magsafe2 adapter though. What a tease.

If there is any problem with Apple obtaining authorization, they will email you so you can contact your credit card company. Happened to me, and I just had to call the cc company and tell them that I made the charge.
