I saw an export scan from Shanghai too. Good chance we will receive them Monday. ?
UPS says between 2:30 - 6:30 p.m. for me ( Usually between 5:00 - 6:00 p. m. deliveries here.)
ordered night of the event and southeast UK.
i expect it "hidden" in my green wheelie bin in front garden early next week.
I ordered my base configuration M1 MBA as soon as the Apple store went live after the event.
ETA: 11/16!! So excited!!

Agreed, waiting for the MacBook to arrive on Monday is better than waiting until Wednesday.
I am not sure about the delivery time but me or a family member will be expecting UPS to knock on the door. ?
I just joined the club. MBP 16GB + 1TB (Nov 30- Dec 7) and a Mac Mini 16GB +2TB (Dec 15 - 22). Replacing my MBP 16" and 2009 Mac Pro, both were overkill for what I actually do daily.
Anyone else order from Amazon? I ordered the Base model Air because I had some Amazon credit. Hoping they ship close to launch day.
I’ve got Monday also, but Apple has held them in the past, with this sort of status updates we are seeing. Not to say we won’t get them early, just saying.
the problem may be if the volume is so great not all orders placed at the same time will be available for a Monday delivery, so they hold them, to even things out.
I'm guessing ?
or... they just like to control stuff? ?

They will hold it for sure if it’s an iPhone launch. But they don’t really care about Mac launches.
remember this, all iPhone launches have a very specific date, like oct 23rd or nov 13. But Mac launches are “available next week”.
But they have it plastered all over their website "Available starting 11.17"
Well...they said 17th and 18th specifically, but Who knows. I certainly like your analysis better ?
I know, why doesn’t somebody call UPS and ask them if Apple has a hold? I would but I’m working (lazy)

I hate to break your heart, but I also had this leather MagSafe case sitting at my local fedex hub for 2 days to avoid early delivery. And it was not even a “launch day” product. But I believe this is just a rare case.
For some reason I had to wait a week longer for the silver model, I also ordered it right after the event.
Currently showing an estimate of Nov 16-17 enroute from Shanghai to me on the east coast of Canada for my MBA 16GB/1TB in gold, ordered about 15-20 minutes after the store came back online.
I found out from the Apple online store, it changed from order in progress to preparing to ship, havent gotten a tracking number or anything of the sort yet. Hope it comes next week ):
Bizarre! I’ll try again in a couple of days. I’m done trying for now...
*EDIT* Finance is greyed-out and not available as an option if I have a Trade-in registered on the sale. If I select a Mac without registering a Trade-in, it's all good. But shipping dates have slipped now. I'll wait...

What carrier does Apple use in the UK?
For the USA, UPS is a world-spanning operation with its own air fleet; they don't need the product to be brought into the country by someone else first.
