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
  • 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
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.

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!

This means that your parcel is being cleared through customs. The delay is short, 1-2 days. It’ll happen again when it arrives in the destination country and has to clear customs there.

Ok, looks like mine has made it to Kentucky and they're projecting Jan 14 delivery. I wouldn't be surprised if I see it by the 12th though.

Yea but I ordered 2TB. It seems those that ordered 1TB and 2TB are seeing longer lead times vs. 256/512GB orders.
Im right there with you, I ordered my MM 16, 2Tb on the 9th and its an average 6 week wait. I haven't been charged yet. fingers crossed its this coming week things start to progress.

I ordered on Dec. 18 and just noticed Friday that they had updated the delivery date to Jan 29-Feb. 5. Got a feeling that's probably going to stick since the original estimate was Feb. 9.

After selling off my existing 2015 MBP 15”, I have ordered a MBA 16/512 this evening (1/10).

Shipping estimated at 2/3 - 2/10. Here’s hoping for an early shipping surprise. :)

Ordered a space grey MBA 8c/16gb/512gb. Delivery expected 2/2-2/9.

Excited but already wondering how I'll feel if they release an M1X at WWDC & if I should hold off. ??

I must be psychic. It appears to have cleared US customs and has been rescheduled to be delivered Jan 12 (tomorrow). It's my twins' birthday though, so I'll have to temper my excitement until after they go to bed. ?

I did the same on 4/1 and the estimated ETA was 3 - 10 Feb.
That went straight to Arrives 10th Feb
Now it's showing "3 to 4 weeks" and still processing.
