Same here, it seems like apple have forgotten about us in the UK and are shipping the US orders first!
Dutch store as well
Looks like they are coming Any European buyers got a prepared for shipment notice yet?
This seems to be the issue.
As im in the UK, ordered a matte display and 7200 rpm hard disk I get the maximum delay
Not really no :S

Dom7 are you based in the US? I think the US ones are shipping before the UK ones.....
Mine has shipped! Configuration as per sig + iWork. Ordered June 7th. No tracking data other than "package data transmitted to fedex".
Sorry to all the anxiously awaiting europeans, but I'm sure they'll be shipping very soon. Hang in there.

finally shipped! 'm glad I called yesterday and upgraded shipping. It missed the package cut off, but managed to leave Shanghai. I. Now let's hope it can manage to escape Pudong. 
Seems like it's only the Glossy display that is ship... No matte display with 7200 RPM ship yet?!?
Update this morning (Matte screen, ordered June 5th 6:21 am):

Yeah i was thinking that.
Also was thinking maybe it there is a delay for the european database to be updated so thats why we aren't seeing european orders shipping quite yet.

As soon as I get this, I'm rebating the ram and picking up 2x2GB from Other World Computing. First time into the Intel processors and I can't wait

Prepared for Shipment too!
Hi All,
Been lurking on this board for awhile, but was scared to start typing, because I was starting to have major anxiety attacks just thinking about how long it was going to take to get my MBP!
However, I ordered later than all of you (I think!) on Jun 18 (to be delivered to Chicago, in case you'd like to know location!), and my credit card has not been charged yet, but yesterday the charge was "held" like some of you mentioned, and today, my apple order status says "Prepared for Shipment", although it also still says at the bottom:
Ships by: Jul 31

Just thought I'd officially add myself to the waiting game! This will be my first Mac (which I'm getting for grad school) and I'm really excited!

It seems that they are. As my order status says "Prepared For Shipment" and I ordered the matte one! Don't worry it's coming soon. Hang in there. Thanks to all the people in the thread. It's been a great help with waiting.
