Apple still shows a 3-5 week wait on the new Retina 12-inch MacBook across the board but one US retailer has them in stock and shipping in certain configurations. Best Buy, who also offers a $50 off coupon for people with access to an .edu email address offers the base model MacBook in both Silver and Space Gray for delivery May 18th.
Other US retailers don’t have them in stock but offer discounts and state tax advantages:

Those of you in the UK should give PCWorld a go. I got my 512gb Gold there and they seemed to have the other SKUs in stock also. Apple stores I’ve tried had either no stock still or reported having received half a dozen assorted units at random intervals.
