Woot! It FINALLY moved to 'preparing to ship.' Here's hoping I get it sooner than later next week. ETA move from 8/2-9, to 8/1-8, not sure how accurate that will be either though. Hoping to see it by the end of July. I don't have a posted charge on my card yet though.
 
Everyone seeing all this movement meanwhile I'm just sitting over here with my 8/16/216 Midnight, ordered at 12:04AM, on 8/2-8/9, stuck in Processing. My card got charged overnight Wednesday which usually means something is happening but its been all quiet since :( Nothing in UPS.
I would expect you to see some movement today or tomorrow honestly. I also don't have anything in UPS yet, but the green progress bar moved overnight.

Originally scheduled for delivery next week, but coming today! BTO Silver 10/24/1
 
Does anyone know if you have to take the parcel yourself for UPS? It says signature required but I won't be home that day, can my wife also take it for me?
 
Fastest delivery process so far from China to USA. BTO now out for delivery ahead of the expected date of 7/26. Originally 8/2 to 8/9.

The 216 is a special model even slower than the 256....takes more time to reach you.
 
The Apple order number starting with W does not work with FedEx. Only thing that works for me is the FedEx tracking number Apple sent with the shipping notification.

Maybe if you set up an account with FedEx (free) it’ll show you the parcels which are associated with your address?
 
Ha! Just got a text from DHL that I've got a delivery from Apple planned for today. Destination is set to the Apple Store here in town. Now this is fun! I've been unable to get the DHL tracking working but at least their SMS service works.

Are you in the US? I’m curious abt how to track my shipment since it’s going to the Apple Store.
 
Well, I set up a FedEx account, but apparently I have to wait 3-5 days for a code to confirm my address.. Which is less than helpful at the moment lol. I guess I'll just keep waiting to see if it pops up on UPS, or for a tracking number.

BTO 10/24/1TB Midnight (order in at 8:04 AM EDT 7/8), initial estimate August 9, went from Processing to Shipping to Store overnight on 7/16, with a timeframe shown as "2 to 3 weeks". This morning it has changed to Pickup on July 22. 🎉
Mine just switched to 2 to 3 weeks for pickup so this is encouraging. It would have been funny if my pickup date was on the weekend. I had it sent to the Apple store near work which is only useful if the pickup date is on a weekday. But if your experience is any indication, it should be there next week. Not that an extra 40 minute drive would have deterred me from picking up as soon as possible.
 
My BTO M2 Air (Space Gray/10C/2TB/24GB) was supposed to arrive today, but the delivery date disappeared and the UPS package has been stuck in this paused state for two days:

Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.
Shanghai, China

This happened to me a few days ago as well. Then eventually went Korea>Alaska>Louisville like within a day. Hope you start getting the rapid updates soon!
