Question for those more familiar with this process: I just got a $99 charge on my card when my Mac mini changed to “preparing for shipment,” which is presumably the AppleCare+ charge. Do they process the Mac mini and AppleCare+ charges separately and at different times? When I placed the order, the full amount of the purchase (including AppleCare+) was authorized on my card.
Yes, it does process separately but both will be charged when it receives a shipping label and being shipped.

Mine so far has "Departed Facility" in Anchorage, then "Cleared Customs." Were those the last scans you have in Alaska as well (am I waiting for a Kentucky scan now?) or will I still see another Alaska scan.
I’m in chicago and I have the same last updates. Still scheduled for tomorrow delivery.

I"m FedEx too. Coming to New York. I ordered the base Air with 16 gb/256 gb. Maybe FedEx is an East Coast thing? FWIW...while I still haven't been officially quoted a delivery date by FedEx yet, I found this in the shipment facts that based on shipment mode, it should arrive 11/20. My original Apple range was 11/24-27. Apple site is currently showing 11/23. View attachment 1668476
FedEx and UPS this time for the M1 ?

I wonder which product gets which service.

Much prefer Fed-Ex as they deliver earlier than UPS....

My MBP 16GB RAM, 512GB storage space gray is set to deliver November 24 to 27. The email however says 4 to 6 business days so from Nov 10 when I ordered that that should be 16 to the 17th at the earliest. I hope I get it earlier but it’s still on processing.

I think pretty much everyone who's ordered a 16/512 MBP in this thread is still stuck on processing, myself included...

I wonder if it has to do with configuration? I’ve seen many people with the base model like mine all going through stages at the same time. It seems people with non base configurations have variabilities in the shipping. Wonder if certain ones are coming from different places.

Has anyone here changed their shipment to pick up at UPS store? Pros/cons? I likely won't be home when they try to deliver and I"m not able to pick up at the CC during their hours that they have available due to my schedule.
UPS store will delay your package a day because it is not a UPS owned business - it's a private franchise.

It's much better to pick up at the UPS Customer Center (CC).

Check their CC hours as they vary depending where your's is located.

Make sure you change it CC pickup while it's in transit to the US.

Once it gets to your CC, it may be too late as it will go on a truck.

This is how it went for the 12 Mini.

I think most of our Macs are on the same plane.

My MBA 256/16 SG just arrived in Anchorage! Could that still mean a delivery tomorrow for SoCal?

My MBA 256/16/8/7 order to Edmonton, AB (Canada) already went through Anchorage and on its way to Louisville for sorting (yes, I was also tracking UPS planes on FlightAware). UPS gave me a rescheduled delivery date of 11/19 after initially promising an 11/17 delivery date. Funny thing is that UPS also allowed me to change my delivery date for a fee, so now I’m out CAD 2.10 (including AB GST) just to bring it back to its 11/17 delivery date. Now UPS changed the service type from Worldwide Saver to Next Day Saver. Let’s see how this goes ?

The estimated delivery date when I ordered my MacBook Pro (16GB / 512GB) was Nov 24-28, but the status just changed to “preparing to ship“. So, I’m wondering if it might arrive a week early.

UPS MyChoice updated from Tuesday to Wednesday with absolutely no update from UPS and disappeared status update this morning. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Status update disappearing is frustrating.

My 16/8/512 left Anchorage at 2:30pm today. Still scheduled for Monday delivery. I’m saying 50/50 shot at it, but will be live tracking the package if it becomes “out for delivery” in the morning.
