Has anyone ever had their delivery time magically bumped up? Mine says Dec 17-24. How likely am I to get it sooner? Or is that pretty accurate? Just curious.
Mine said November 24-27 but it’s coming tomorrow the 20th. So it could be possible you get it early. No guarantee though.

Has anyone ever had their delivery time magically bumped up? M1 Mac mini 16gb/1TB. Mine says Dec 17-24. How likely am I to get it sooner? Or is that pretty accurate? Just curious.
My 16/512 MacBook Air was originally supposed to arrive 11/24-11/27. It arrived the morning of 11/17. Until FedEx confirmed delivery, Apple’s website still listed 11/24-11/27.

What’s odd was that I was indecisive on 11/10, and the last MacBook I ordered that day arrived first. I ordered the Space Gray 8/512 MBA as soon as the Apple Store opened up after the launch event (which I didn’t cancel and arrived later on 11/17 from UPS), then the 16/512 MB Pro, which I then canceled, then the Gold 16/512 8-core GPU, then Gold 16/512 GB 7-core GPU MBA, both of which I also canceled (I debated saving the $47 on the 8th GPU core). Finally that evening I just re-ordered the Gold 16/512 8-core GPU MBA. I had to wait until the evening because I had reached the maximum number of orders for my 6% corporate discount and had to wait for the cancellation to hit the system. That’s the model I’ve been using the last 3 days and plan to keep.

While I was tempted to see if I can save $188 and get by with the 8/512 model, I will likely just return in unopened. I plan to keep this one for 3 years (like the 12” MacBook it is replacing), so the extra RAM can’t hurt (and I’ll feel better that Apple can just re-sell the 8/512 at full retail rather than being a “refurb” sold for 85%).

Is yours still in memphis? Mine has said departed memphis for the last 5 hours now and I'm supposed to get it tomorrow.
If it’s departed Memphis and you live in the US, you will definitely get it tomorrow. You are going to like your MacBook a lot. :) Which model did you get?

Oh, yes! When I ordered my M1 MBA basic i was given Nov 27th - Dec 4th. Within the night UPS showed Nov 16th! Apple stuck with the original date right up to me getting it on the 17th.

I have no idea how it happened! :D

Mine was originally quoted 11/24-27. Updated by Apple to 11/23 when it shipped - Fedex showed 11/20. Actual delivery - 11/17.

I've tried, but it does not accept bank account as payment method last time I tried, you still need to add a card to pay with PayPal, and that looks kind of meaningless to me as I can use the card directly.
wait, what do you mean "did not accept bank account"? I was able to select my bank account there...

That was the last time I tried, maybe they changed that later.
I was not able to choose my bank account and PayPal asked me to add a card to continue shopping, so I went back and use my card to pay directly.

Feeling insanely impatient. Who all is still waiting on theirs to ship that's still paying any attention to this thread?
Not me. I received mine a few days ago and am just here to gloat. JK!

Seriously, you will love your new M1 Macs. Here's hoping the shipping companies get them to you as fast as possible.

Update: MBP 16GB/256GB shipped! Update came after midnight 11/20. Originally ordered 11/11 with estimated delivery of 11/27-12/4; moved to "Preparing to Ship" this morning (the 19th), and "Shipped" less than 24hrs later. Still no UPS scans or updates yet on the tracking.

Edit: Shanghai origin scan at 2:39 am EST

Ordered mine just hours after, delivery supposed to be and still is between 24th and 26th November According to App Store app, website apple says 25th. But it’s not arrived in Eindhoven since it tracking information was received by DHL The 17th. Was hoping it would come earlier than next week but it doesn’t seem like that will happen.

My MacBook is now idling around in China and Hong Kong for about 4 days while the Apple Store in Berlin seems to have new deliveries. The 1TB/16GB Pro is available for pickup today.

I think the 512/16GB Pros (one I ordered) are amongst the tightest on stock and are not available at all in stores.
I ordered on launch day with projected delivery 24. - 26. and UPS says 23. since a few days. I get the feeling that this might even shift.

Been waiting for a week tomorrow, with a projected arrival date of Dec. 1st - 8th, for a 16GB/1TB MB
We're a day apart order wise. Tomorrow is 6 days for me but I'm stuck with a Dec 9 - 16th. hopefully we get it much sooner than that. I can't believe it's only been a week-ish. ??

LOL before the I'm just here to gloat part you had me seething. Then I caught on.

Seems my Air has had quite a busy night. First travelling south into Belgium, then east to Hannover, Germany. :oops:

On the one hand, the route kind of confuses me (Grace-Hollogne, Belgium is called the depot closest to pick up location) and this means there is no chance - whatsoever - that TNT could get it to me before the weekend.

On the other hand, I'm no slightly jealous of my Air because it get quite a nice journey, while I've been "stuck" here in Norway all year, and had to cancel 3 different trips abroad, because of the corona-situation. This Air is more well-travelled than me (well, at least this year).
