I ordered a silver MacBook Air 8 GPU Core/16 GB/1 TB on the day of release. It was originally slated for November 24-27. I got shipping notification today from Apple that said delivery on the 19th of November. But if you go to track and look at UPS, UPS is saying 16th of November (Monday)! It's currently in Shanghai.

Any place but here or there....
Received my AC+ proof of purchase email which starts tomorrow, November 15th. UPS is still showing the Monday 11-16 delivery date when I log into UPS My Choice, but this is what I see without logging in.

Apple is still saying Wednesday. Wait and see. ?

Well, I just heard otherwise. Received shipping email at 11:39PM PST, arrival via UPS due on Nov 18. Nice. Hopefully it goes smoothly, as I was originally hoping to have the machine for something on the 19th, but the estimate on the website slipped from Nov 17-18 to Nov 24-27 while I wrestled with a browser problem during checkout. Wasn't too happy about that but now I feel a lot better!

MBA, Space Gray, 16 GB, 1 TB, 7-core GPU, ordered ~30 minutes after the end of the event.
9 hours later UPS says delivery on Monday the 16th, last update says Export scan in Shanghai which sounds promising. So it's gone from 24th-27th (Apple) to 18th (UPS) to 16th (UPS). Now I'm just waiting for something to cause a delay in transit, because this is too good to be true! ?

FWIW, 16/512 MBP ordered an hour after the event (Tuesday), original delivery 11/24-27, now "shipped" and slated to arrive 11/19 via UPS. Last seen in Shangahi.
Exactly my situation, but I checked the UPS page and they currently say the 16th. In either case, I'm excited!!

(I see lots of others also see this - awesome).

Anyone here in US ordered the base MBA immediately after the event but the order is still processing and/or deferred to a later date? People here showing off their orders getting shipped is making me upset...

Ordered custom (16GB Air) Nov. 11th so I thought would be an extra week. Just got email saying delivery on 19th but clicking through to UPS tracking it is showing 16th end of day. So using UPS for USA deliveries.

Nice!
Mine is the same. I really doubt it can get here in 3 days.

Ordered the Space Gray MBP 13.3 SPG/8C CPU/8C GPU/8GB/512GB-USA

Apple ETA: 11/17*/-11/18

UPS: 11/16

Don't think that Apple is allowing these out before 11/17 so I'm banking on that date.

UPS always overpromises and Apple Underpromises but overdelivers.

I'm currently hanging out in Shanghai still... can't wait until there's an actual status that I've departed though. I've been there too long already.


EDIT* Apple delivery 11/17-11/18

I had an 11/16 delivery date from UPS yesterday, but now it’s back to “check back later” even on My Choice, so I’m guessing that Apple put the hold on it until the 17th.

Nice!
Shoot! I ordered the same specs to NYC. Shipped from Shanghai via Fedex currently showing 11/23 delivery. Wish I was in your batch getting it earlier!

I am assuming that ”Clearance in Progress” means the MBA is clearing customs through a non-UPS Customs Broker as stated in my previous post but in the same thread. It’s almost 5am in Shanghai right now so I guess the MBA will be flown by UPS airfreight after passing customs.

There's an exception so it's clearing customs right now. Excited for the next status!

Most likely. Someone could call UPS to see if there’s a hold if they are anxious. That way everyone will know.

Well, I ordered on the 11th and got Nov 26–Dec 3. Still processing, no charge on my credit card. When browsing the Swedish Apple Store, it says estimated delivery time for new orders is Nov 24– Dec 1. Apple must hate me.

My 8x8 16GB Air shipped, it's currently in Shanghai. UPS says 11/16 delivery while Apple says 11/19. Either way, I'm excited it'll be here a week earlier than the original estimate.

No updates on my Pro still "processing" hmm maybe using an M1 would speed that up, but excited to see movement of some sort next week.

Have you tried tracking with your order number (minus one or two digits) as a reference with ups or FedEx?
Mine still says processing, but something is going to be delivered on 17.11 with the same Apple order number as mine ?

I'm curious, how do you do that? Do you use that as the tracking number or something else?

I am in Brisbane and having the same processing status while the est delivery is 17-18 Nov. I am hoping Australia is different to others. They might send the batch stock here then distribute to the individual customer.
