Should be in your hands within a week, give or take. If it weren't custom, it'd be a bit faster.

Exact same build as yours took 10 (or 11?) days to arrive. Note that the plane that carried my PB from China stopped in Taiwan, where it was delayed for a couple of days. If I remember correctly, the plane lands in Illinois and then proceeds by truck.

I ordered mine custom built from a 3rd party (CDW) and it took just over a week to get in to my grubbly little paws.

I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. Congrats.

I ordered the same BTO machine on Monday, June 6th. It is sitting here on my desk in Indiana on Friday, June 10th. I am rather pleased with the speedy delivery.

Ordered the exact same machine without the RAM upgrade last Tuesday, the 7th. It's been sitting at the FedEx facility in Shanghai since the 10th, and isn't expected to reach me until the 15th.

Not Apple's usual ridiculously-quick shipping. Maybe it's because I ordered through the education site.

There is a good chance you will get it before the 15th. The shipping status is not always correct, one day it says it's in Shanghai, the next day it shows up at your day.

Not saying it will be, but there is a good chance that it hasn't been updated and will arrive sooner rather than later.
