I don't think UPS my choice pulls dates from anywhere but their own system. If you got a my choice notice, I am 99% sure it will deliver on the day that says.
Got a tip for us?

I think that the Monday date is in error. The UPS My Choice still shows 11/17. My thought is that the 2 days in Shanghai was planned so that initial delivery would be on November 17. It appears that there are very few delivered at this time.
I think that the page that says Monday will be updated when shipping container with our Macs arrives in Anchorage. It appears on track for Nov 17 delivery if flights stay on schedule. It looks like 2 hour window at Anchorage and Louisville based upon the posted UPS flight schedule.
Delivery date reverted back to Nov 17 with arrival SCAN at Anchorage as I thought it would.
I ordered after the event and with upgraded i7 and graphics and I have estimated delivery for december 14-20!!!! AMAZING DELAY TO PRODUCE A LAPTOP!!!
Mine was due for delivery this week. Order status changed to 'Preparing for despatch' on Saturday, then slipped back to Processing on Sunday. Yesterday evening I received this email:

This is concerning. I had the exact same email today for a usb-c to Ethernet dongle (ordered weeks ago), though it never reached PFD. My Macbook Pro delivery window of 20-29 Dec not looking too promising right now!
I'm a little suspicious/paranoid, given some of the issues seen in this forum (with the 460 in particular), that certain batches are being withdrawn (just) before being shipped while an investigation is underway....
My order status on the website still says 'Delivers 25 Nov - 2 Dec by Standard Shipping' and Processing, so it's not been updated to reflect this delay. I'm also waiting on the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, ordered the same time as the MacBook, and that says Delivers 30 Nov - 7 Dec by Postal Delivery. I've received the USB-C to USB, USB-C to Lightning and Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptors, though.
