I think it will. Not sure where you are in the UK, but I am in London just a few miles from Heathrow. I am hoping it will be here Wednesday......
Yes mine too; I'm expecting delivery to my door next Monday allowing for the merge at Apple here in UK. Looks like we avoided the route through Frankfurt that some others have had.
I'm also getting the same error when trying to use expo, Apple are saying delivery date of 25th (Wednesday) - UPS are also saying Wednesday and according to their website it arrived in Germany yesterday about 4pm.
EDIT: Mine's been to Shanghai, Dubai & now Koeln in Germany, anyone know where it goes from there?

update
well, my replacement came... another LG - but this time (as far as I can see) no issues what so ever.
Very happy, and apple only took a week to get it to me. (upgrade to 16gb - so it wasn't a standard order either)
Nice one apple. A semi happy customer.
edit: my screen creaks when I go to close the lid, and the case creaks when i rest my hand on it. I guess a trip to get the screws tightened is in order.
Also, which I didn't notice on the other one, when I go to pick it up (without really squeezing) it feels like the bottom case touches the internals, which I can't really replicate on the previous laptop.
Hmm.

I'm hoping to get it on Friday but I think Monday will be more realistic.
I hope it comes with ML pre-installed, otherwise I would be annoyed at waiting over a month for a £1800 laptop and having to install a new OS stright away.
it wont come with ML.. if you check your serial no. http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php it will tell you everything about your rMBP even down to which no. it was produced in the week it was built!
mine is on same shipment as a number of members on here scheduled for 27th delivery i checked mine and it doesn't come with ML.
Delivery forecast for tomorrow - still no UPS confirmation
My machine has been with Apple UK since Friday. It got transferred to UPS about 1am this morning. When I say transferred, i mean the UPS status is
"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
It is forecast (by the Apple website) for delivery for tomorrow, the 24th. This seems more than reasonable considering UPS should have had the merged package all day today, and frankly why they didn't receive it over the weekend I don't know. However I would have expected more of an update from UPS by now. Has anyone else that has received packages from UPS been given a more promising status from them by this time prior to delivery? Anyone else been left with this status from UPS this close to the delivery date and still received it on the forecast day? (Tricky kind of question this as hopefully, those that have been through this recently with the delivery of their rMBP are so enamoured with their baby that they are not reading this thread anymore!)

Congrats. I remember going through the exact same thing for my first iphone (3G). Had the day "working from home", literally waited by the door all day and it was delivered 5.55, last delivery.

Ups still haven't delivered mine. Been waiting all day and have rung them.. They assure me it's on the truck for delivery. How long does it take!?
EDIT: Arrived now

The tracking number beginning with 8 does work. On UPS tracking page, Click
on "Track by Reference" Copy the number into the "shipment reference" field and click on "track" Hey Presto it redirects you to your tracking page (with new tracking number 1Z4WY.......). In a matter of hours, Apple also updates it's order page with the new number.
Only the top part with the serial number is information gathered from your serial number the rest is a standard template from the model information.
Last minute UPS status change to confirm delivery
In case this happens to anyone else.
My rMBP is due to be delivered tomorrow. UPS status, till about 10pm tonight was along the lines, of delivery booked from Apple, awaiting consignment to determine delivery date. Anyway at about 10pm the status changed, and UPS confirm intent to deliver tomorrow.

I've noticed that too. The bottom feels very thin and flimsy. In fact, I can see a few small dents in the base - so small that you have to look along the surface against the light to see them. I didn't notice them until I'd had it a few days so I can't be sure whether it came like that, i.e. damaged in the factory, or whether I've caused them by picking it up one-handed with my fingers underneath and thumb on top.
Having said that (about the flimsiness) my old MBP was a late '07 (pre-unibody) with the removable battery so the base wasn't a single flat panel.
Ah ok I didn't realise that, hopefully we can confirm by Friday/Monday hopefully Friday!! Longest week ever!
Lufthansa flight 8401 has landed in London, was due at 13.01 arrived at 00.52, that's some tailwind!!
Hopefully heading north to Manchester soon, my 27th delivery date is looking good!

Yep. Weird...
I guess as the screen seems perfect, I should really just shut up and stay happy.

It's in the air! http://www.flightradar24.com/#!/2012-07-22/12:50/CES551
Mine's been to Shanghai, Dubai & now Koeln in Germany, anyone know where it goes from there?
Mine was in Shanghai and is now in Incheon in Korea. In other words, it's moved further away from the UK! And I am scheduled to receive it on Thursday. Gives me a kind of sinking feeling....
The end is nigh. You will have it before most of our orders change from Processing.
