Finally breaking my lurker status now that my order is moving. Figured I’d add my updates in case it helps anyone else hang in there during the waiting game.?
MBP 16/1 SG
The charges haven’t posted to my bank just yet, but I did use Paypal as my payment method - the cc authorization has been pending since my order on 12/8. So basically, it was 28 days of just “processing” with no changes or movement at all. I kept seeing people’s posts saying their charges went through after just a couple weeks or less, so if you’re in the same boat don’t freak out if your card hasn’t been charged yet.
- 12/8/20: ordered with original delivery estimate of 1/8-1/15
- 1/5/21: status changed from processing to preparing to ship
- 1/6/21: status updated to shipped - Apple says delivery date will be 1/14, FedEx says 1/12, so we’ll see who’s right or if any delays pop up
I’m near Seattle, fwiw.
Well, it's here! It ended up arriving today, the 8th, which was the first date in my original ETA range. Card charges finally went through this morning, just hours before it showed up at my door. Weird, but ok. It was a total wait time of 31 days, but once things started moving the other day, it went through the rest QUICK. I honestly expected way more delays in the shipping process. No signature or anything required.
Coming from a 2014 iMac + 2012 MBP, I'm ecstatic. This thing is fantastic from what I can tell so far.
Hope you all get yours very soon too!
