If you have a custom order I think it comes from China. Stock models come from Sydney.

Oh really? I was always under the belief that they were shipped from Santa's warehouse. Like the really good stuff that he gives to people all year round. 
And if you're naughty he sends you a PC. With Vista.

There's a few items that are commonly ordered, like 7200rpm HDD upgrades in the MBP, that are kept in stock in Australia, as Apple knows they're going to sell a significant number of machines with that type of upgrades. |

The only configuration I made with my latest iMac was a wireless mighty mouse instead of a wired one. Came from China still!

They would probably have put out information by now if it had... it would cause major disruptions to everyone's orders. So I think it's safe!
