I ordered my base spec MBP Friday morning with dates of Dec 1-8. It has been in “preparing to ship” since Saturday morning. Is this a good thing?
Got a tip for us?

I think that means the item is already on a plane to ANC. There's one in the air that lands at about 11:30 AM AKDT. I'll bet you (we) show a stop in Anchorage on tracking about then.
It looks like items sit in post-"Export Scan" waiting for their turn on a plane. In the case of mainland US via UPS - a flight from Shanghai to Anchorage. It looks like that process takes about a day or so.
From a logistics point of view, I wonder if UPS simply forwards all cargo from ANC to their main hub, or if the west coast (including BC?) content gets diverted.
FYI UPS showing Monday 11/16 delivery compared to 11/24-11/27 on initial order.
Yeah it goes from ANC to Louisville, KY (their main hub) and then split again to regions (your closest region hub, on Air) rest is ground. (this is based on tracking the 12 Pro/Mini)
I’m not sure. That flight left 4.5 hours ago and that update said it left the facility an hour ago. We shall see what the updates are later today.
My base M1 Mini is still "Processing" with an delivery day of 11/18 or 11/19....
Thought by Monday (international date line), it would have left China by now....
Nice to see you from the iPhone forum - guess we are hoping to track our M1 device just like the iPhone tracking!
FYI - Just took a look at the invoice. And even on the invoice, Apple fails to mention the clock speed! LOL!
and this is very different from the invoice you get if you order an Intel-based Mac:

You wont' see a tracking number until it's actually shipped. Looks like it's in the "preparing to ship" stage.
I got the same departure scan! Does yours show a delivery date? Mine is still “information unavailable”
My MacBook Air (ordered November 11th, in the morning) has cleared customs in the US so I have a complete record to this point for people who want to compare their progression:

Mac Mini M1 base. Ordered within 1 minute of availability. Still processing, still not charged, November 19 delivery.
While excited, I’m obviously feeling a bit discouraged

I know it is Hell waiting
. Take solace in the fact you've got a November date. Some of us are into December. In fact close to X-Mas. I haven't fell this expectant since I was a kid....many, many years ago.

The only good side of waiting is that we are giving more time to developers to update their apps 🤪
I ordered a MBP 512GB with 16GB of Unified Memory to replace my MBA 2018. 26-30th Nov in Ireland
An update: I ordered the base model M1 Air the evening it was released and it originally said it would deliver 11/17-11/18 and I just got the delivery notice from UPS saying it will deliver by end of day tomorrow! (11/16) Shipped UPS Worldwide Express Saver, 2.4KG, it passed through customs at 10:05AM 11/15/2020.
So excited!
Update:
Just got the notice from UPS, the delivery date changed from today to tomorrow between 9:00am & 1:00pm AZ time. Kind of bummed. But excited to get it tomorrow!

My base Air left AK on the 8.47 flight, no update since then, delivery date moved back from Monday to Tuesday to BC, Canada
I am in a similar situation. I can only see something if I search for references number (my order number minus one digit). Apple still says processing and hasn’t issued a tracking number yet.
Is it certain that this is my delivery or someone else?
