Ordered mine last Thursday afternoon in the US. Just got my shipment notification. Slated to arrive on Thursday afternoon. One week turnaround time - could be faster, but not complaining for a BTO! Amazing how streamlined Apple's operations must be.
Got a tip for us?

Always the way... I've been bouncing back and forth all day on whether or not to change my current 128GB order to a 256GB, and just as I decide to bite the bullet and do it, my order status changes to 'preparing for dispatch'.
Ah well. I guess at least this way I save a couple hundred bucks on a probably-unnecessary upgrade. And now I have the actual dispatch / delivery part to look forward to.

Scheduled to arrive on Wednesday but made it into Germany yesterday afternoon so was hoping for a Tuesday delivery but seems to have been stuck in Cologne for 20 odd hours now. Alas....
Yeah, even though mine arrived in my home town on Saturday - it's been moved to a further away facility (but still not too far) today and it looks like it will stick to the Tuesday delivery instead of delivering a day early.
Hi guys. If anyone's interested, I created both a review video and battery test video for my new Mid-2013 11" MBA. Both videos feature side by side comparison with the equivalent 2012 model.

Hopefully someone will find the information useful

Great videos. Thanks for that!
So, mine has been sitting in SHANGHAI, CN since it shipped Friday night. It has been updating once a day around 10pm saying:
10:08 pm At local FedEx facility SHANGHAI CN
Should I be worried? I have had Apple products stolen by shady workers in the past.

That's mine exactly. Ours are together.
I'm not worried about it. I expect it to leave China today, for sure. It probably just missed the boat for heading out before Sunday.
Status changed on Thursday night to Shipped from Shanghai. Apple estimate 6/18-6/20, FedEx estimate 6/19 PM.
And what a surprise today (6/17): the status changed this morning to "on FedEx vehicle for delivery"
My wife's going to be very happy, she's replacing a 13 MPB from 2009. I'm still waiting for the haswell rMPB to replace my 15 MPB 2008...
My new Mac Air is sitting at my local FedEx right near my house (as I requested). After changing the delivery date to Tues, they faked me out and the pkg got there this morning around 8:40am. Unfortunately I was already at work by that point so I will have to wait till after work to get it, but at least it's here! And that's exactly 1 week from ordering.

I hope that happens to mine. Apple's estimate for me was 6/19-6/21 and FedEx's estimate is 6/20. Shipped Friday night and still sitting in Shanghai.
I ordered BTO too on the 12th, still processing. ETA hasn't changed though, still says June 24-26 so I'm not too worried yet.
Based on this thread it seems that in general the European orders may take a lot longer to process than the orders from the US. Wonder why that is.
Should I be concerned about no import scan in Germany? Just seems to be sitting there for 21 hours now after arrival scan...

Maybe in the same shipment then, UPS are normally pretty good at getting stuff out early if they can, maybe not this time. Ho hum
Mine departed Oakland this morning on it's way here (I'm only about 2 hrs away). I went ahead and request it be held at FedEx when it arrives so I can pick it up....hopefully during lunch or after work today.

That makes me feel better. Annoying though. It is going on Tuesday in China and it still hasn't moved.
*edit
so annoying:

Yeah, same here. 10:30PM Monday.
Okay so let's make this fun.
I think it'll go out tonight (US EST), which is Tuesday morning in China. Tomorrow morning, we'll wake up and it will be in sunny Anchorage, AK. And then I suspect it will make it a day early on Wednesday.
I might be completely wrong.
Or maybe it's a glitch in their system and it has really been traveling this whole time. Tomorrow we will wake up to Mr FedEx man ringing our doorbells
Mine has been there for the last 3 days. LOL!
