What carrier does Apple use in the UK?

For the USA, UPS is a world-spanning operation with its own air fleet; they don't need the product to be brought into the country by someone else first.
I'm not sure. I think they use a variety but I haven't ordered a Mac from Apple in years.

Othertimes it's been DPD or UKMail, but then UPS handled my recent AirPods service.

How does one check UPS then?

No updates on the base Mac Mini. Still "Processing" . I thought it'd change to Preparing to ship by now. My arrival date is 11/17-11/18, I hope it's not delayed.

Anyone know if Apple will have stock of these in store for purchase on Tuesday?
Shhhhh!! I'm thinking that too. If they have 16gig ram configurations available for pickup, I may cancel the current order (currently estimated at Dec 4) and go that route.

It's odd that some have an expected delivery of 11-17 and status of "processing" while others have an expected delivery of 11-24 and a farther along status of "preparing to ship" (which I do).

I wonder if using an Apple Card (which I did) has anything to do with it.

Ha, imagine if using the branded card got you priority just like airline cards at boarding.

“Processing” boring status here with a MBP 13 M1 silver with 16 RAM and 256Gb.
Scheduled for Nov 27 to Spain, and I got it just after the keynote once the store was reopened!

You must be kidding me. I also used an Apple Card and my order is also still processing...

Anecdotally, it seems like the majority of people who ordered base models have shipped or are preparing to ship, while the majority of the upgrades (as much as you can call 16 GB of RAM an upgrade in a "Pro" machine!) are still "processing".

Ok, Apple finally charged my credit card about an hour ago, ~3.5 days after ordering. Status still says processing.

Mine switched to "preparing to ship" this morning. Had a CC decline issue for some reason, but glad I didn't lose my place.

ETA: Nov 17-18

It seems that I'm in the "minority" who ordered the base model MBA immediately after the event but still "processing".
