How long does it typically take for Apple to proceed with the payment from when you place the order? I ordered two days ago and still nothing. No change in the status.
usually during "preparing to ship" but mine was charged when I clicked the order now button. so weird

Hi Guys,

My MBP 16/512 S is stuck in Louisville, US for almost 4 days. I am in Canada, and I have checked FlightAware. There were a lot of flights from Louisville to Hamilton, Ontario, but there is no change in my status in the UPS tracking app. Does anybody notice any changes in their shipment progress (from Louisville to somewhere) these days?
My delivery was scheduled for Dec. 17th but now I found that it is changed to Dec. 18th without any other changes!

Mine shipped a bit earlier today, the origin was Vaughan (maybe that's a paperwork thing from fedex having an item shipped to western canada?). ETA from apple is now Friday and ETA from fedex is Monday.

My MBA was shipped on December 10th, shipping by UPS, and it has been stuck in "Shipment Cleared Customs" since December 12th. No new updates, no location information, no estimated delivery date. Last known location is Shanghai. Destination Europe.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I've contacted UPS and they have no concise information other than "customs are slow at the moment". I'm a bit desperate as it was due to be delivered on December 14th according to their own tracking...

MBP 16GB/2TB

Ordered Nov 23, 2020
Original arrival timeframe Dec 24, 2020 to Jan 4,2021

No update, only "Still processing" until today.

Now it's "Still processing" but the ETA has been pushed back until Jan 14,2021.:mad:

What grinds my gears are all these people ordering weeks after me and receiving their orders weeks before me.... At this rate the apple silicon 4port MBP will be released if apple keeps on delaying my MBP.

Same situation, exact same timestamps and locations. Mine's a 16/512 though.
Same outlook too... it'll be hear soon enough. ;)
Has yours moved at all? Mine hasn't changed; it still looks stuck in Hong Kong.

My mini 16GB/1TB finally moved! It has been stuck in Hong Kong since the 10th. I checked this morning and still no change, but a few moments ago it says it arrived at Tauyuan, TW. Rescheduled delivery: December 17th (original date was December 16th). Crossing my fingers that it actually arrives by tomorrow (but very skeptical).

Does anyone know the route it takes from TW? Can I check potential flights to see if there is a potential route to get it here by tomorrow? Destination: Michigan, USA

Updated:

Ordered Nov. 27 (late) MBAir 16gb/512/8 graphics cores. Original estimated delivery Dec. 22.
Shipping Destination: Anchorage, AK
Laptop originated in Shanghai Dec 9 @ 9:30 AM
Departed Shanghai Dec 12 @ 1:23 AM
Arrived Seoul Dec 12 @ 4:08 AM
Departed Seoul Dec 12 @ 7:25 AM <---I believe it actually left earlier
Arrived Anchorage Dec 11 @ 7:09 PM
Departed Anchorage Dec 11 @ 10:13 PM <---so it got within 15 miles of my house and then decided to travel 3,000 miles away :)
Arrived Louisville Dec 12 @ 7:39 AM
Cleared customs Louisville Dec 15 @ 5:05 AM
Departed Louisville Dec 15 @ 5:55 PM <---finishing 6,000 mile journey from Anchorage to Louisville and back
Arrived Anchorage Dec 15 @ 8:39 PM
Loaded on vehicle Dec 16 @ 3:43 AM <--looks like delivery today will happen unless it snows too hard
Estimated Delivery Dec 16.

Thoughts: like everyone here I'm obsessive and impatient, but they did a pretty good job overall. It's annoying for us Alaskans that our packages arrive here, but then ship out to Lousiville in back, but I understand why they do it. I hope y'all have smooth deliveries.

Well after Apple changes my arrival date by pushing it back 10 days they charge my Credit card on the same day. Not sure what's on the go with apple right now. With my iPhone they charged my card, changed the status to :preparing to ship" to "shipped" within hours.

I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I just received my MBP SG 16/1! ? Here's its journey from China to Michigan:

11/21: Order placed
12/11: Left the factory
12/11: Arrived at Shanghai, CN
12/12: Arrived at Narita, JP
12/14: Arrived at Anchorage, AK
12/15: Arrived at Louisville, KY
12/15: Arrived at Romulus, MI
12/15: Arrived at local depot
12/15: Arrived at destination

Original ETA was 12/9 - 12/16, and it held! That said, on 12/10 Apple revised their ETA to 12/21, so it's actually now ahead of schedule per the delayed ETA.

For those tracking: Apple website had the least info on transit, UPS website had only slightly more info than Apple, and Parcel app had the most complete/detailed info. I highly recommend Parcel -- great independent developer too.

It took 24 days from order to delivery, but it made it :)
Nice! I should be getting mine today!
