If it's anything like iPhone's it will be the day before, though I won't complain if it arrives earlier than the 25th.
I'll be surprised but it's possible. When I ordered my Apple Watch on pre-order day, I was given a delivery date a week later than launch day and I did get a tracking number quite early.
I think for my new iPad Air 4 I got a tracking number at about 9 or 10pm the night before delivery (also launch day). Some people got them after midnight.
That's for a launch day delivery though - Not when the product was ordered at pre-launch and then scheduled for delivery a week later. A BTO device has to be assembled specially and that's why it takes longer and can't be delivered on the actual launch day. Although I do think it's a little bonkers that there aren't at lease some BTO versions already built and ready to be shipped for launch day.

My BTO Mac mini shipped from China over the weekend, arrived in Alaska this morning and departed again this afternoon. UPS says it's going to arrive tomorrow but maybe that'll change...

I hope you're going to be doing some 'new toy' showing off? 
I need to check out the Apple store near me. See if they've got any on display.

Also got my tracking text for my BTO Mini.

Got an email from Apple now confirming my dispatch. Delivery date has now dropped down to the 24th from the 25th.
Still hoping it will come bit sooner than that.

If DHL get it today I can’t see it being more than a couple of days from the Netherlands, I’d be surprised if it didn’t come this week.
It won't actually be in Eindhoven yet - The tracking updates when the waybill is created, this is exactly what happened with the watches. The tracking said they were in Eindhoven when they weren't even on the way.

Ordered a base version. Don’t need owt daft, memory or storage wise... predicted to arrive Friday 20th and prepping for shipping now.
CORRECTION: delivers tomorrow! That was damn quick, given I only ordered this afternoon and it’s a Barclays order.

Looks like there will be a Mac Mini config with 10G Ethernet.

Still no movement on my 16GB mini, has to start updating the tracking soon if it’s going to arrive by the 25th.

Same, hopefully nothing wrong with the delivery date but been watching it and it's still not updated.
