@PurdueRPh's post above covers Taiwan to Louisville. Assuming that you're in NY City, from Louisville UPS has two flights that leave shortly after 4 AM and get to JFK at about 6 AM. From JFK, UPS delivered my Max at 10 AM.

Apple's delivery estimate is notional and is effectively replaced by UPS's date. Your Apple order page, and the e-mail Apple sent you, say specifically to follow UPS tracking for up-to-date information on delivery.
As discussed above, if you're in the NY City area your Mac Studio should arrive at JFK around 6 AM tomorrow morning. From there, mine went to a UPS distribution point and then out for delivery. UPS tracking recorded my package arriving at the UPS office, but never said "Out for Delivery". I received the computer at 10 AM.

I believe that it will handle all of my processing with ease for the next 4-5 years, which is how long I keep a computer. After 11 days, I have no functional complaints about the computer at all (noise, glitches). The type and number of ports works very well for me, no need for a hub. The Studio's portability is a big plus because I have residences in two countries.

Out for delivery now. I ordered on May 20th. It didn't take as long as they said it would. The original Date said August.
Same for me; mainly the reason I gave up the 2019 Mac Pro for this. I can now fit a powerful workstation in my carry on, sans monitor.

So my Ultra is here and so far I'm a big fan. It's fast and super-quiet. The only drama I had with the shipment was UPS-induced.
First, when my shipment arrived at my local airport, it quickly departed. But where did it go? There was no "arrived at" entry for 36 hours! It just vanished off the radar until there was a "departed" message from another semi-local facility. That had me nervous for a long time.
Then it arrived quickly at my local facility, where (thanks to Sunday and Memorial Day) it sat for 2-1/2 days, just 10 minutes from me.
When delivery day came, UPS estimated delivery time as 1:30-3:30 local time, as they almost always do. I knew this to be a lie, and made my own estimate of 6pm, based on prior experience with UPS almost always delivering around 6pm. And I was right, delivery time was 6:01pm! I was just happy to get it, despite the goof-ups and delays by UPS.
The driver did have me sign for the package. I can't remember the last time I had to sign for something. But with an expensive delivery I was kind of glad they weren't just dumping it on a doorstep.
After that, setup was easy as I'd prepped everything in advance and had 7 or 8 cables waiting to be plugged in. I did the initial setup, upgraded to the latest MacOS which I knew I'd need to do, then transferred my data from my old Mac to the new using Migration Assistant, which took about another hour. Easy peasy, no issues.
Today I am doing clean-up and getting some apps running with licenses etc. for the new machine (Photoshop, etc.), and I'll be cleaning up and labeling some cables, seeing if I can get the master/slave power to work, and getting on with enjoying my new machine. I'm planning to try to edit and export a video on my M1 MBA and the new Studio for a time comparison.
Good luck to all those still waiting, and thanks to everyone (especially F-Train, OldMacWalking, GFFMATT, davidspry, PurdueRPh and others I am surely forgetting) for the camaraderie and info as we all endured our long waits! You guys made it bearable.

I called up Apple today just to see if I could get some info on my still-pending March Ultra order. They were gracious, but ultimately unhelpful. Boiled down to "Everything seems to be fine with the order but these are very hot commodities right now." "Do you know how to use the website or app to check the status?"
Oh well, still hopeful I'll see some movement out of "processing" this week.

Got an email from UPS saying that my Studio is arriving tomorrow (June 2nd). I still don't see how that's even possible. The UPS tracking has it leaving Shenzhen yesterday without any updates past that. I fully expect to get a new delivery date tomorrow, and will be happily surprised if somehow the box does indeed show up tomorrow.
I'm on the same flight as you. Sat in Hong Kong for 4 days and is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow June 2.
Here's my Ultra order:
May 31/Ultra 20 CPU/48 GPU/64GB RAM/4TB/Aug 24/processing
Recording studio here. Hoping I don't have to whine about a whine!

Mine has no whine, and hey I can rhyme!Here's my Ultra order:
May 31/Ultra 20 CPU/48 GPU/64GB RAM/4TB/Aug 24/processing
Recording studio here. Hoping I don't have to whine about a whine!
Of course, maybe it has one of those high-frequency whines that most people over 25 can't hear. I'm sure that several decades of heavy metal have wiped out that range of my hearing...
Received my Max, 64gigs RAM/1TB SSD yesterday. Ordered on May 16th. I don't know how I got lucky to have had it shipped so fast, but I'm not complaining!
I suspect that there are a fair number of people who are buying a Mac Studio in no small part because they can stash it in an overhead bin, or toss it in the car, for a trip to their second home. Dave Lee (Dave2D), who normally focuses on Windows, made a point in his review video of stressing how much power there is in the little Mac Studio box.
Shortly after the launch on March 18th, there were people in print and on YouTube complaining that the Mac Studio is too compact; it interferes with their ability to mess around with what's inside. I got a chuckle from that. They completely missed the point, I'm sure not lost on Apple, that for some buyers that compactness is a major attraction.
Travel is also one of the reasons why I departed from my usual 512GB flash drive configuration and went with 2TB.

I am patiently waiting for my Apple M1 Ultra - 20 core CPU, 48-core GPU, 2TB SSD / 64GB RAM. Ordered April 19, Arrives Jul 13 - Jul 28. Processing currently.
OH!!!
It's only been in Chek Lap Kok for three days!!
How long does it usually take from there?
UPS estimate is tomorrow, but I don’t feel like that’s possible…
And has anyone received theirs during the weekend?
And also, do you think it's on that plane: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS63/history/20220602/1055Z/VHHH/PANC

As I suspected, the original UPS delivery date of today was just delivery trolling. The rescheduled delivery date is now June 6th, which at least seems possible.

It's either on that flight or UPS 61 via Taiwan. Should be easy to figure out which from your UPS tracking info. Either way it should be delivered tomorrow unless you live somewhere remote.
Hoi, ik heb sinds vandaag de volgende configuratie in huis. M1 Ultra 20 core CPU 48 core GPU 64 GB ram en 8TB SSD.
kan er nog helaas nog niets mee, mijn oude IMac is te oud om als extern scherm te dienen, dus wachten op de Mac Studio Display (2x)
