When I called apple today to clarify that my MBP was "prepared for shipping", they told me that it was definitely in that stage and was scheduled to leave the warehouse sometime between Sept. 6-10 (the original estimated ship date). So does that mean that my computer is just going to sit there for another week even though its all ready to go?
my order on the apple website says:
"In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule"
What you can do is go to the courrier's website which is TNT and put your tracking number in there. this will give you even more details.
I hope mine is not to long, it says:

29 Aug 2007 22:55 Shanghai Shipped From Originating Depot
