I ordered a 16gb/512gb Mac mini on 11/16 with the delivery estimate of 12/16-12/23, but at the end of last week I got notice that it had shipped.

    • In Transit
    • Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong
  • 12/04/2020
    • Shipped
    • Shenzhen, China

Hopefully it arrives on Thursday.

Overnight it my Thursday delivery changed to:

MBP 16/1 Space Grey ordered 11/15 with original window of 12/2-12/9 now shows as shipped, estimated delivery of 12/16 (and I'll be out of town until the new year :mad:)
 
Ok so I get all the normal supply chain issues, plus Covid, weather, holidays, etc.
What I don’t understand is Apples inability to offer accurate information.

1. On 12/11 ordered MBA 16/1 delivery est 11/30-12/7
2. On 12/12 ordered MBA 16/1 delivery est 12/1-12/8
3. Spoke to someone at Apple around 11/27 and was told my orders were on time and would be shipping from USA
4. On 11/30 MBA #1 changed delivery date to 12/30-1/7.
5. On 12/7 my card was charged for MBA #1 and status changed to Preparing to Ship.
6. On 12/7 MBA #2 changed delivery date to 1/5-1/12.
7. On 12/8 MBA #1 status changed to shipped. Tracking shows origin China, not USA as I was told.
8. On 12/8 card charged for MBA #2.

*edit:
Delivery date for MBA #1 estimated 12/16

I’m not complaining that my orders are shipping early (late but early, LOL) but the fact that the dates given throughout have been entirely arbitrary is far less than I’d expect from Apple.
So now I’m in the tracking phase of this game with a lot of you.
Good luck and I hope we don’t all meet again in the “M1 Issues” forum.

FedEx just scheduled my delivery for 12/11/2020. :) So happy to get my MBA in just 14 days. I didn't expect this after reading lots of comments here.
 
Ordered in 11/23, just updated to preparing to ship

Anyone have experience to when it ships after that? How quickly does it get to US(Florida)?

thanks
 
Base MBA in Grey. Ordered 11/26. Apple Balance is still full (haven’t been charged). You think i’m in for a delay?

I ordered fully one week before you did (MBA) on 11/19 and have the same delivery period as you and still haven’t gotten charged so I think you’re definitely in for a delay. I may be as well.

Did you order MBA 16/1TB? Because I ordered on 27th November MBA SG 16/512 and it is in Japan currently, delivery is scheduled for 11th.

ordered on the 21st, delivery period is around 9th - 16th for my MBA Space Gray 16GB/1TB. still no charge on my card yet.

i think at this point, i'll probably settle for 8GB/512GB from amazon. we'll see how today goes. or at least this week.
 
MBP 16/1TB I ordered on Nov 19 moved to Preparing to Ship today :) Haven't gotten tracking number yet but estimated delivery is scheduled by 14th.
