The level of investigation though 😅 Hoping for a tomorrow delivery anyways, will update you when anything changes in my status. Can’t even focus on work, just checking UPS tracking constantly 😅
Looks like I was right. Hopefully they get on another flight to our respective countries tonight in time for delivery tomorrow. Here’s hoping!

Have "we" been able to ascertain exactly what "Express" shipping means when ordering a MB or MM? (Or is it a crap shoot?)
 
MBA M1 16/1TB

Ordered November 18th, Delivery between Dec 4 - Dec 11.
Status as of this morning 12/10 is still processing.
 
MBP SG 16GB/1TB

Delivering to: Michigan
Ordered: November 21st
Delivery window: December 9 - 16

Today, December 10: Status moved to "Preparing to ship" ✈️ and credit card charged 💳️

Edited with an update, December 11: Status moved to "Shipped" on Apple Store order page, and UPS page says "Package is delayed in transit". Original delivery window estimate has now slipped to a new delivery date estimate of December 21

Edited with an update, December 12: Status moved to "In Transit" on UPS page, with estimated delivery now sped up to December 14 (Apple order page still shows Dec. 21)

Base Gold MBA just changed to preparing to ship over night, and card was charged. Ordered 11/29. Delivery range 12/8-12/15. Able to search by reference with Fedex (express delivery) and a label was created today with estimated delivery tomorrow, 12/11. Shipping from Rialto, CA to Sacramento.

Edit: Just changed to Shipped at 11:20.

Question for those in the preparing to ship stage. How are you able to see tracking info in FedEx, UPS, etc?

It either will or will not have shipped in Preparing to Shipped stage. In the case of mine, it was in the preparing phase for about a day.

If you want to check if UPS or FedEx has it, sign up for a My UPS Account or a FedEx account and check on their sites. Both account choices are free. When you go to My UPS you will see any Inbound Shipments coming your way. I can't speak for how it works on FedEx, as mine was with UPS.
 
MBA 16/2TB ordered 12/3 expected delivery 1/27 in Germany 😳😳😳 hope this is conservative estimate ... That would be almost 2 months..

Looks like nothing on my UPS account, and can't see anything on FedEx. I guess there's not tracking set up yet.

What's odd is the Apple Store app say "Expedited Shipping" but the Apple Store website says "Express Delivery" - wonder if those are synonymous.

Mine shipped out early Tuesday morning, I would expect it to come from Shanghai, China. It was also Express Delivery too. Right now on the Apple Order Status page it says Arrives Wed Dec 16. And that's just an approximate date from Apple. According to UPS mine is coming some time tomorrow. So really, only 4-5 days, assuming there's no complications at UPS or FedEx. Initially my tracking says "Package is Delayed in Transit". But even with that delayed message, it's still only taken 4-5 days in total from China.

How does your config look like? I’ve added 2TB and my shipping is estimated for end Jan ??

My wife's silver MBP 16/1 was "Standard Delivery" and it took about 48 hours to ship from Shanghai->Alaska->Memphis->our house in NYS. My space gray MBP 16/1 was "Expedited Delivery" and it's also shipping from Shanghai but has already been in transit for 48 hours and is apparently sitting in Japan right now...

so, I would vote "crap shoot" ;)

16GB/1TB MBP - Ordered December 1st. Was arriving December 23rd at order and in my confirmation email. A while, but fine; it’s a hot product and it’s a busy time of year. By chance just checked the Apple Store app yesterday and it’s been pushed out to Jan 6th.

Not cool, Apple.

Don't they have this version (16GB/1TB) in store anymore? That's what I ended up getting and picked up the next day.

That's kinda what I figure may happen with my order.

Mine is also sitting in Japan. I'm hoping to see some progress today.
 
Looks like our MacBook are in the same batch. No movement in Shanghai after a 22:25 scan on Dec. 8.

What do you think is the next step? It’s marked as shipped a couple of hours before the delay in transit scan, is it still in China or it landed in the US but it’s not scanned yet?
Interesting, mine also had it’s last scan in Shanghai at 22:25 on December 8. It was originally scanned in Shanghai on December 6.

There was a flight from KIX to MEM that left at the exact time of my JP In Transit scan, so I'm optimistic that my shipment is on there. Seems too coincidental that the time matches the flight departure time to the minute.

*IF* it's on that flight and *IF* it clears customs quickly, it's *POSSIBLE* I could get it Friday, but realistically I'm thinking Monday.

Mine is stuck in Narita, Japan. What does your last tracking say?
