So In looking at the Schedules for FDX 142 to Vancouver, it doesn't fly on Sunday and Monday. This means that if this package misses 2 more flights, it won't arrive until after 29th, which isn't a big deal. There just aren't very many flights between the hub and Vancouver, and I'm sure this time of year, they must be packed.
I'm close to Vancouver! My UPS hasn't updated since Shanghai though; what has your route looked like so far?

I ordered in the 2nd. My card was charged on the 12th. On the 14th it was marked as shipped by Apple. On the Fedex site it said it would ship on thursday. Apple thought it would arrive Friday, Fedex was estimating Monday.

Yesterday evening it was marked shipped from Pennsylvania, which has been the only status update from fedex. The delivery date immediately switched from Monday to pending.

I believe it’s sitting in Memphis, but missed the flight to Vancouver for some reason (at first I thought customs, but it’s more than likely volume. Vancouver from Memphis has 5 flights a week, and it doesn’t fly sundays and mondays. We will see when it arrives in Vancouver on that 5 am flight. After that it still needs to get across the Georgia straight.

What is strange to me, is that this shipped like nobody else’s’. I assume Apple must have bulk shipped a bunch from China to North America, hence the reason it was marked as shipped a few days prior. It’s just weird that it was shipped from Harrisburg. Harrisburg doesn’t seem like a hub of any kind.

Your route seems more traditional, like everyone elses.

Mine arrived at Hong Kong airport on the 11th, and it's been stuck there since (8 days and counting). The "In Transit" date stopped changing on the 15th, whereupon its status changed to "Rescheduled Delivery" and there's been no update since.

MBA 8/256 Rose
12/4 ordered
12/14-21 original delivery date per Apple
12/16 prep for ship
12/16 charged card
12/17 shipping via FedEx
12/17 picked up by FedEx Nashville from Apple GEODIS Lebanon, TN
12/18 delivery per Apple and FedEx via Baltimore by end of day
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.

Ordered: 12/1
Charged and changed to Preparing to Ship: 12/17
Shipped: 12/17-12/18 Midnight EST. with an estimated Delivery of 12/30.

Says In Transit from Shanghai and UPS tracking said there is already a delay the first day it went into the shipping status. Godddamn i hope it comes before then!!!

Mine touch downed briefly in South Korea before hitting Anchorage. Then later the online ups tracking deleted that stop. So I think it’s common to have those sorts of transfers with smaller planes prior to consolidating for the transpacific flight and people may not even know any it because they’re not watching as frequently.

Well My Order is still Pending with Fedex, But I think it made it to Vancouver.

The Entire Pending Status makes things look super weird, there are very few updates. It looks like it sat in Memphis and made the 5am flight today (thank god, the next one is on Tuesday and will be extremely full).

Apple has adjusted the ship date to Monday from Yesterday, I would expect it to arrive on Monday, perhaps Tuesday if there are variables.

My 16gb 512 MBP was delivered a whole six days early from the 24th to the 19th. I love it so much and didn’t realize how easy the migration assistant made moving files over. Even from a 2016 MPB 15 it’s so much faster.
