Mine went to "shipped" a few hours ago.

Via DHL. Too early to get a read on progress but should be a simple and reasonably fast transit :)

My Ultra was ordered in April, originally scheduled for July 27, but I just saw it hit my credit card. Should be ready for pickup on July 1. Very glad to get it four weeks earlier! Sure hope I don't get one that whines.

It does sound like things have started moving! My payment is still showing as Pending, so hopefully will have gone through by tomorrow and I might see the shipment brought forward. New desk arrives tomorrow so will be all ready for it!

What day did you place your order?
Order placed April 16. Every day since then the projected delivery has been July 27. Until today. Very excited to get it early, and very excited to get a machine that can handle big Logic projects without stuttering (hopefully). Very apprehensive about the noise issue. If I get one with the whine it's going straight back. The noise others have described is completely unacceptable in a $5,000 machine.

My original expected delivery was July 22-29, but it shipped and cleared customs with delivery tomorrow, June 30. The good new is that it is arriving 4-5 weeks earlier than expected. The bad news is that my Studio Display is still showing July 22-29 and it still shows processing. Since my Mac Studio is replacing a 2019 27“ iMac which cannot be used as an external display, I’m going to have to wait until my display shows up to set up the Mac Studio.

I just ordered it on June 22. That means order to delivery will be only 8 days and this isn’t simply a stock basic Studio. It is an M1 Max, 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD. My guess is that the Studio Display will not arrive early because I haven’t really been seeing a lot of posts with people getting the displays early. It will be frustrating having the Mac Studio here sitting in the box for more 4-5 weeks waiting for the display.

Frustrating indeed. I decided to skip the studio display for now since I have a 32" screen that I like reasonably well. Didn't want to pay $1,600 for a smaller screen, and didn't want to pay $5,000 for the big boy. If Apple ever makes a more reasonably priced 27" to match the studio or a somewhat cheaper XDR I'd go for it. Until then, 4k will have to do.

My Studio is out for delivery now. I ordered it on June 18 so 12 days from order to delivery for a BTO is not too bad.

I’ve been watching my bank and the order like a hawk, since the payment appeared as pending on Tuesday. Payment is still pending, but the order has just moved to ‘preparing to ship’. Very excited as I had such a long wait for the studio display, I was expecting the same with this.

I’ve seen stories about the lockdown restrictions in China lifting last week, so I’m assuming that’s why things have started moving again.

Mine shows delivered by today now! Someone swapped our machines at the last minute?? Or they made it to the same airplane after all?
Mine had a hiccup but it's also coming today - though I realized I don't have the adapter for my Cinitq so I won't be setting it up until tomorrow most likely.

My Studio was delivered today and I managed to get the initial setup done during various meetings at work today! Really looking forward to getting going on this.

Mine has arrived! Though I can't test it out until my thunderbolt to HDMI cord comes tomorrow.

On June 29 my Apple Card was "authorized" and is pending. How long does that usually take? Eh, just anxious!

About five days in my case from CC (not Apple) pending to shipped, with ‘preparing to ship’ at about 4 days.

FWIW - different distribution route from most here - Shenzhen to my country (New Zealand) took 57 hours. It’s en route to my home right now but not sure how long the final part of this journey will take.

And mine has arrived too! I’m waiting for Amazon to deliver the crappy monitor I bought and I’ll try to be up and running between tonight and tomorrow. Lots of stuff to install!!

Mine has been pending since the 28th. It changed to ‘preparing to ship’ yesterday, but it’s still pending this morning.
