According to expo my MacBook landed in heathrow at 6:30pm on a direct flight.
I think I'm on the same flight. I have to merge with a EDU card, but how long to delivery do you think?
I also have to merge. I reckon Tuesday it gives them monday to merge and hand over to ups for next day delivery.
If they work at the merging centre Sunday's and ups move parcels Sunday's could be Monday (wishful thinking). I only live about 15mins away from heathrow so it shouldn't be long for me, but I don't know if the merging place is at heathrow or near it. It shouldn't take long to merge I wouldn't have thought.

Have you seen that that has landed I think I'm supposed to be on that flight but expo doesn't say its landed...
Says actual time of arrival 14/7 6:30 at LHR under timeline.
Also mine says Arrived, not cleared for import. Means it hasn't cleared customs I guess. What flight no does it say you were supposed to be on? Mine was no 7726.
mine I think was Korean Air 503 which seemingly hasn't arrived... watched it on flight tracker but now they all say they haven't had the flight arrival information!!!
Helpful!!!
never mind just updated to say landed1843 whooow... I'm only 20 mins from heathrow amazing if they deliver it on Monday... know its as likely as winning the euromillions on Tuesday but I can dream!!!
----------
Anybody who got theirs before and the flight landed on a Saturday know how much longer I have to wait...???!!!! been a long while... apple had better follow the good things come to those that wait...!!!
Like you guys above me Expo says it is in London now awaiting customs clearance.
So let's be realistic. Nothing will happen before Monday now. On Monday it will be moved to merge with the gift cards that could be emailed to us! and then IF we are all lucky back out for Tuesday delivery.
This assumes that customs clears on Monday and that it is collected BEFORE the specified delivery date that Apple has given to UPS.
if not then the delivery will be the next day after the pick up date. Which would be the 17th courier pick up and 18th delivery.

I can't seem to track the status of my order at the moment, as I'm getting a message that the Apple store is down. Is it a regularly scheduled maintenance period? Perhaps that's why...
It's not like my shipment status will have changed much over the course of a Saturday, and with having to merge with an edu card, I can't seem much detail to the shipment anyway. What a shame.

Apparently its due to arrive in london at 8am on the 17th, so who knows when it'll turn up
mine finally changed to shipping on the 13th.. due to arrive on the 23rd, so still a long wait, but hey.. at least i wasn't forgotten. haha
I can't get in to check order status, it gives the store is down message after I click to check order status? Everyone else getting this currently?
Down for maintenance hopefully should be back up in a couple of hours or so.
Mine has been cleared for import, so maybe yours' has too. How long to delivery now, I wonder?
Yeah mine cleared at 2pm today. You might be on the same pallet.
Do you have a discrepancy on your estimated delivery to UPS? My 'timeline' says":16-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Estimated Time of Delivery. And then 'events' says: 17-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date
I'm hoping for the former as there is no reason to leave it for one extra day when it has cleared customs, unless there is a subtle difference between 'estimated time of delivery' and 'requested delivery date'.
It's odd because my requested delivery date was the same as the estimated one, but it changed when for some reason expeditors updated it to say that my MBPR wouldn't be getting to London (from Frankfurt) until 17th July on the 14th July. Obviously taking 3 days to get to London from Germany was a bit too conservative.
I'm really hoping for a Tuesday delivery, assuming UPS receive it on the monday (which I have a sneaky feeling they will). I'd imagine it depends how long it takes Apple to merge the order. If the package arrives at the distribution centre early and they can hand it over to UPS at around 3pm, it will be able to get to our local hub for tuesday delivery with relative ease.

How annoying, ordered my RMBP on the 3rd of July, deliver 29th July - 6th August. If I ordered now it'd get here about the same time hope it speeds up this week
Also lots of you guys have been getting updates I had a MBA land in Germany on sat morning at 1am and it hasn't updated since

Same with me for the EDU card. I think I would be quite disappointed if it was later than Wednesday given how fast it cleared customs in contrast to previous orders reported in this thread.
Well we have movement (at least I do haha). Status has now changed to 'ready for delivery' and 'comms docs received'. Surely that means it is a Sunday/Monday delivery rather than a tuesday now then to the distribution centre
