I pre-ordered two X 256GB space grey - 9:06 Germany. Delivery date 21.11-28.11.
My bank sent me an notification yesterday afternoon that the money was blocked for apple.

The order is now on "preparing for shipping" - delivery date didnt change yet.
Does Apple send their units from europe?
Same here (256gb SG 09:07). Got charged yesterday late afternoon and status is now PFS. Deliverdate not changed too.

Yes, Sweden here: ”departed facility in Copenhagen” on the DHL page at 05:41. It should arrive before lunch today.

Mine landed in Oslo around 07:30!

Out of curiosity, how did you manage to order at 9:06? Literally everybody I know in Germany (including me of course) had the website coming live at 9:10 (app went live much later) and immediately get 2—3 Wochen estimate. Did you use the site or the app? @jimmyX @nickelt

BTW, Apple ships to Germany from Czech Republic.

Hmmm. Mine is shipped now too. Apple still says delivery on 24th Nov. Also the Time on DHL site is strange. 10:29 before it`s even 10 o`clock??

Missed an in-store pick-up reservation by a few seconds on Monday but today it worked and I was able to pick one up early in the afternoon in Zürich.
Cancelled my online order. Got into the 14-21 Nov window and it hasn't moved since.

While I was at the Apple Store, two dudes just walked and asked if they had unreserved iPhone Xs. And indeed they did! Lucky guys.
Wow ... Zurich seems to be much better off than Geneva. I have a friend who has been trying the in-store pick-up reservation every morning at 6 AM but nothing is ever available in Geneva! And all electronics shops and other retailers in the area are either "dried out" or haven't ever received anything.

Probably few guys near Zurich buy theirs from DE :p so they get it 11% cheaper ;)

I'd say that's pretty good news for those who have a similar expected delivery date! Mine is expected to arrive between 4-11 December. Reading this something might actually change this week. At least I hope so!
