I just tracked my order, which shows that it's in transit out of "Shanghai", where it was manufactured... I don't know how I feel about that, being that there have been some apparent quality issues with regard to the displays... Here's a pic of a Shanghai manufactured imac after only 18 months:

Slightly OT but how did you track your order? My order page shows a reference number but no carrier details.

Anyway, I also wait for my MBP, for 3 days it now says "In Transit to Customer" with the expected delivery on Dec 13th... So the delivery is going to take 12 days!

Looks like my stuff is going to come from China as well...

Apple should have sent you a FedEx tracking number and there you'll get the details.. I placed my order on Sunday, which wasn't received until Monday, and the scheduled delivery date is Friday, Dec 7th...

They're all made in China. That is where the factory is.
