Nope ordered it from an Apple Premium Reseller here in Switzerland. It is indeed strange how long it takes… Still hoping for magic happening until the end of next week XD
It looks like Apple is really struggling with the 64 GB model, and priority goes to the people who ordered directly (I don’t say it’s normal, because I really think it's not).

Ah another old DHL employee in the dark basement has decided to give me an estimated delivery date: 15. December 2021 - By End of Day

But still no shipment activities listed. Just the initial "Shipment information received".

It's good to know that my shipment is still in "1 piece" ?

Late notifications but notifications, great news guys! I'm glad for you ... in your case it seems even crazier than when mine landed, I was the "exception" for receiving the SMS 1h30m later than the others, but in this one ... you all seem special cases, diff hours for all of you, crazy ?

Your wait is nearly over!! Delivery Man, please be gentle with these fellas! :D

I think we, or at least I, need to be gentle with the delivery man. As soon as I see him/her I will run as fast as I can towards him/her, yelling, laughing, shouting, jumping, hugging and take my package faster than a lightning bolt ?

Faster than thunderbolt 4 and more vibrant than an XDR screen?!

my laptop left Amsterdam only about 45 mins ago so I think I'll have to wait another day ?
At this rate I'm quite sure both our laptops are on the same vehicle ?... mine departed Amsterdam at 23:19

Don't lose hope, check at how mine evolved a couple weeks ago, it was really warp speed

This looks promising... maybe they will indeed fly that thing at warp speeds to Berlin overnight ?

Told you some posts ago! :p

Maybe it's even possible that you get it tomorrow instead of the 15th, you were at Germany right? :)

Yeah, maybe I should stop being a pessimist and becoming an optimist instead ;)

Well, Apple tells me it will arrive tomorrow, DHL tells me it will arrive tomorrow, so it looks promising as for now. And I'm located in Sweden, although in the south, pretty close to Denmark. So if they can move the package from Amsterdam to Leipzig in two hours, I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to deliver it tomorrow. Only a winter storm could stop it now..... Checking the weather..... Nope, looks fine there as well!

Hahahaha, cheers for that with a beer ;)

They did it fast with mine, Leipzig-Barcelona in 2 hours, so yes, if flights/trucks are scheduled properly, your MBP is gonna arrive tomorrow, at this point as you mention, something big should happen to not believe what the courier says. Lucky also if all of you got updated Apple status and tells you now same thing, cause mine wasn't refreshed till hours later from I received the DHL delivery SMS, so at this point, I'll trust the courier 100%.

edit: Happy Macbook Day in advance! ;)

Woke up to see my package arrived to the delivery facility in Berlin and was processed just a few minutes ago! DHL still says delivery by tomorrow, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it gets loaded onto a delivery vehicle today ?

UPDATE: literally just a few minutes later DHL updated the delivery estimate to today by 10 pm ?
