I'm on the same boat. Ordered one standard vesa at Amac in the Netherlands on April 1. Still no sign of it or any update whatsoever. Ridiculous...
Got a tip for us?

My Austrian retailer took the order on March 10th. Mac Studio arrived in June. ASD nano tilt/height: no whisper whatsoever. 5 Months. Leadtime is 2 months if I ordered today and UK retailers have them in stock.
I´d like to share an elevator with Steve ... just for a little talk.
Amac apparently shared their ideas with Apple in Cork two weeks ago. But still no movement. I used to be a big Apple fan, but this with a pending order of nearly 5 months and no decent information from the retailer or Apple my fan hood is something of the past.
So is mine. I´m a Mac user since 1984 and I can say I´ve had a few. Nothing comes close to this ignorance desaster.
What's the delivery expectation if you order direct from Apple today? Perhaps you'll want to consider cancelling your order through the retailer and buy from Apple directly.
In case anyone wants a long and very silly update - after waiting since April and getting delayed once and presumably delayed again tomorrow (12th end of range delivery date yet it's the 11th with no preparing to ship, wtf) for who knows what no reason.. I ordered the tilt only version w/ next day shipping, planning to keep it until I get the other. And after moving my setup around: I like the tilt! I have a very deep desk & had my old iMac so far back, pulling this forward (new desk top soon) I'm short enough that I am pretty sure it's at the right height. It would be nice to have a riser and more room for things under, but I know I'm not supposed to be putting my neck like that anyway...
Overall design is great. I'm not incredibly blown away by the screen just because I'm coming from the iMac/my MBP but it's of course pretty and crisp and idk if this is because of the lack of chin and bezel difference vs me being stuck on a laptop for a couple months now, but it does Feel wider to me.
Still annoyed by how horrible customer service has been... Hope everyone waiting gets theirs soon. But happy with it now that I have one

It's been sitting at "The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible." on the UPS tracking... doubtful it's going to be here tomorrow.
I've had UPS state the same, then at the next update show that it's half-way to it's destination.
Hoping it's that way for you.
Yeah it just updated - mine says it's arriving today by 7 but I have a feeling it won't be here until tomorow but we will see.
Edit: It's now tomorrow before 7.

sorry post wasn't clear I ordered a Standard ASD with VESA mount, I have a Jarvis Monitor Arm that my Dell P2715Q is on, I'm moving the dell monitor back on its stand and to my girlfriends house. The ASD will go on the Jarvis arm as my main monitor. I have nothing but good things to say about the Jarvis arm- hopefully the ASD works well on it!
Thanks for the clarification , let us know how you get on with the Jarvis with the ASD.
Nice to see the supply coming back. I had originally ordered the standard glass/vesa option but cancelled when reports of sound issues started popping up. Seems like the issues are generally resolved for most people as nobody is complaining after the update was released. If I order again, I may ultimately go with a tilt and height adjustable stand.

My Standard/VESA came in today. About 24h from time of order to delivery (using $8.00 express delivery)
I had some bad news at the dentist this morning and have an unplanned expensive procedure coming up. I really should have just returned the display but curiosity got the best of me and I opened Pandora's box. I'm still high off of the intoxicating new Mac smell. Should I decide to- I'm going to have a helluva time convincing myself to send this back.

Hello guys, i'm from Poland. I have ordered one ASD with standard glass and leg in one of our Apple Premium Resellers. Order date: 10.06.2022. Still processing. 11 weeks of waiting, when Apple Online Store now says 3-4 weeks (8-10 when placing the order)! What's going on there?
Believe it or not, my tilt+height ordered in March from a Premium reseller in the EU shipped today.
Yeah I believe it, waiting for 5 weeks now for my ASD with VESA directly from Apple in Spain.
Same here - 5 months on my end. (in Estonia). Day after release, put in my order with a premium Apple reseller - still haven't gotten it and no information whatsoever. The baltics supplier for many of the premium apple resellers AVAD (https://www.avadbaltic.com/) is to "blame" apparently.
They are giving 0 information to resellers about what is going on and have supplied a grand total of 0 ASD-s to the entire country of Estonia (I asked the resellers if ANY had ever come in - all answers were a resounding "no").
No idea what the logic behind this is, but I assume distribution happens from apple side:
1) Apple first party stores
2) Big customers (ex. US bestbuy, etc.)
3) "Premium" resellers in "small" markets (like the baltics, etc.)
So if you don't have an apple store in your country and the market is smaller I wouldn't be surprised if the wait will keep going and going. A clerk at one reseller here in Estonia said they wouldn't be surprised if it took until years end..
Ordering something as expensive as an ASD from abroad is not ideal (btw apple stores don't ship abroad). However I wouldn't be surprised if that would end up being much faster even if you ordered day 1 in cases like mine. :/
Super depressing how some regions have same day availability while others have seen literally 0 stock since release...
Also contacted AVAD directly, but as expected no answer / comment.
Also, it's just ASD.. Other products I've gotten from the same premium reseller 2 days after release.. (Macbook 14 M1 Pro). Don't know about newer products like the M2 Air though.

I think we all have the same situation all across Europe, here in Spain and some colleagues of my mine from Portugal are still waiting 4 months in for the ASD...
I'm in Germany and ordered mine March 10th directly from Apple. Standard glass/stand. Received it May 25th. So about 2,5 months wait for me. And probably only because I ordered the standard model.
But it is unbelievable that so many of you are still waiting for it. Crossing thumbs you all will receive it very soon.
I try to contact with Apple, but they can't give me any answers about products ordered in local Premium Resselers. But why Apple Online Store says 3-4 weeks (for standard option which i ordered)? We are waiting 11 weeks and more. Premium Resellers order products directly from Apple. Strange and completely incomprehensible situation.
