Same here. Space Gray, 16GB RAM, 1TB, 67W. Quoted 20-22, moved to preparing to ship but delivery moved out? Strange to see that happen. I'd have expected an earlier delivery considering the status. We'll see.
Got a tip for us?

My gut says it either arrives in the originally quoted window or the very early portion of this new one. Supply chain issues haven't gone away - and Apple doesn't have control over how quickly its shippers move things.
When I ordered my MBP, it sat in Preparing to Ship for 5 days I think? Its all a process. My gut says PTS status means, it's left the production line, and is sitting on a pallet or in a shipping container awaiting pickup by the shipper - which is likely UPS. (This MBA is for my wife).
Ended up phoning Apple. The chap said it was a known issue and reissued the authorisation. All gone through and still on track for the 15th.
Mine due on the 15 still says preparing for shipping. It better change to shipping soon or I won't see it on the 15th
I see a lot of people citing the times they put their orders in (5:01/8:01am), seemingly unaware that probably a few hundred thousand others all did the same thing. These later delivery dates shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
I am another BTO with a pick up date of 7/22, that has recently changed to 7/22-7/26 when the status changed to preparing to ship.
If the delivery date says the 15th, then you will get it on the 15th. Whatever the status says at the moment is irrelevant.

Not sure about anyone else, but I always mention it as just another data point...the same as mentioning what configuration I ordered. Pretty much the only time I'm active on these boards is when I've preordered something. I enjoy the sort of inclusive feeling that comes from waiting with a group of a people rather than alone. Kinda like listening to music at a concert or seeing a movie in a theater as opposed to alone in my home. What time I ordered is just a sort of connection between me and other people who ordered around the same time. It obviously doesn't tell me anything conclusive about when I might expect my device to arrive, but it's fun!
It's certainly not intended to be taken as a "I was first in line, therefore I should receive my device first!" statement.
8/16/512 in space grey just went preparing for shipment. Original date was July 20-22 so maybe it's coming earlier. Nothing on UPS yet though.
Got the exact same configuration coming! Mine says 21 to 26, australia.
Hopefully it comes earlier! Every time I order a piece of tech I turn into a 5 yo kid 😂😂
Mine has landed in Louisville. Now it will likely sit there until Thursday afternoon if routine holds. Sooooo impatient!
Is this is the first picture of one in the hands of a reviewer/end user?
Looks very black depending on the light. Couldn't be none more black in fact.

Good luck to everyone receiving their new M2 Macbook Air’s on Friday, wish mine was coming as quick.
Midnight 10/16/512. Card charged this morning but still showing processing. Aug 1-8 delivery. Hoping it comes sooner! USA here.

Mine is in Kentucky per the UPS tracking. I’m guessing if a signature was required it would show that request in the details?
Ordered the same configuration, have the same delivery dates but no card charge though. Amsterdam here. Really hoping it means they’re shipping much faster then first week of August. Keep us posted!
Monday my status changed to preparing to ship. Pick up date was 7/20-7/22 but changed to 7/22-7/26 at that time. Last night status changed to shipped and pick up date was changed to “4-6 business days”. Hoping that’s true. It means I should be able to pick up earlier than 7/22.
