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 :)
Great info. I'll try Parcel App.

MBA 8/256 Rose
12/4 ordered
12/14-21 original delivery date
12/16 prep for ship
12/16 charged card
12/17 shipping via FedEx
12/17 picked up by FedEx Nashville
12/18 delivery per Apple and FedEx via Baltimore
12/18 made it to Salisbury, MD "too late for courier"
12/21 delivery per Apple and FedEx
12/19 on the truck for delivery today

I had one in my Amazon cart 12/14. Delivery in less than a week. Ready to bail on Apple. Now back to obsessive refreshing 12/16. Leaving home 12/30 for two months.
I bought the same MBA replacing my trusty 2013 MBP in July 2020 thinking the M1 wouldn’t be out for a year. Having been through CPU changes since Mac Plus, I move on when it changes.

My MBA was shipped on December 10th, shipping by UPS, and it has been stuck in "Shipment Cleared Customs" since December 12th.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
Same here. Ordered December 2nd, 16GB/512GB MBA headed to Germany. Original delivery window was Dec. 18-29, so although the inconsistent information is frustrating, they've still got time to beat their estimate.

Most likely

Taiwan --> Anchorage --> Louisville --> Romulus, MI --> Local Sort center --> you!!
Thanks for the info. It has already left Taiwan (only there for 90 minutes) and is hopefully on its way to Alaska. If that is the case, maybe it could come by tomorrow? I guess we will have to wait to see.

Same for me in UK, same spec. Cleared customs on 13th. Nothing since. ETA changed initially to 18th, then yesterday updated to 17th for some reason but feels like it’ll be a while yet :-( Original ETA was 30th so maybe shouldn’t be surprised.

Also stuck in HK... "Rescheduled Delivery" for the last 24h, except it hasn't actually been rescheduled? :eek:
Mine did the same thing. Went to rescheduled delivery on Monday and stayed like that until mid morning today. It is now moving again. In the end, it ended up slipping by one day from the 16th to the 17th.

LOL in the last 6 hrs my credit card has been charged.
The arrival time has changed from Dec 24-Jan 4 to Jan 14, then changed again to Jan 7- Jan 11. That could be changed by the end of the day.....

This forum has made this an obsession :). Now I'm searching flightware to determine potential flights and arrival times. Next thing you know I will be calling into the tower for updates.

I am guessing my mini is currently on UPS61 headed from TW to Anchorage estimated to land at 1:06pm
UPS61 should then continue on to Louisville leaving at 3:07pm and arriving at 12:38am
UPS1480 then leaves Louisville at 1:00am arriving in Detroit at 2:05am. The local UPS distribution center is about 45 minutes north of Detroit, so there is still a good chance it will arrive tomorrow as stated.

Now if I can just convince UPS dispatch to text me updates throughout the night with the location of the trucks :D

Mine is exactly the same! They must be stuck somewhere together—it actually is somewhat comforting to think that it's not just mine that's in HK with the same "Rescheduled Delivery" status.

Just got my SG 16/1 MBP.

Ordered Nov 22, Shipped Dec 11. Delivery window was Dec 10-17, so still within original window.

Can’t wait to set it up, first time I’m migrating between Macs.

Totally. I'm not too fussed. I've seen these things jump from "no updates since China" to "oh hai I'm in ur city" often enough. I mean, I want to play with my new toy? But I'm a grown-assed man, too. :D

I ordered the same model on the same day. I just got a new scan in Shanghai, so hopefully the parcel starts moving soon.

Please let me know if you have the same updates, maybe we are in the same batch (my package is not destined to Germany though).

I’m in the same batch too I think and mine got updated about an hour ago with the “Package is delayed…” message again. Scheduled delivery date has now completely disappeared.
