After a 10-day vacation in Shanghai, my package has actually moved to Korea!
Not sure why it is so slow to move. Maybe because the destination is so unusual. (I live a few miles from Apple in Cupertino.) Yes, that must be it.

Mine shipped on Thursday and hung out in Shanghai, until this afternoon. Next stop was Osaka, Japan and right now it's en route to Anchorage. On Friday I had a delivery estimate of Thursday, but that has been reset and I don't have one now. Looks like it's moving good now. Hopefully this continues. Apple still says 8/31

I'm amazed at the UPS route to Vancouver, BC (west coast).

Shanghai >Alaska (west coast)> Louisville, KY (east coast)>Seattle, WA (west coast)> Departed Facility ?

Good thing it's a package and not a passenger that had to go 4,000 miles out of the way.

Mine is still in Louisville as well, released from customs twice... Hoping it makes it out of KY and to PA by tomorrow... Fingers Crossed

Mine also still there. Cleared customs days ago and still in KY. Hoping they meet (today) estimate.

Spent all weekend at “Preparing to ship”. Was just about to go to bed when having the Apple Store tagged as VIP paid off. It is on its way, with an estimated delivery date of 9/1!

My WFH setup has a 27” monitor and I have two other monitors too. Going to spend the next week figuring out where exactly I’m going to put it!

For pattern watchers:
Order date: 8/18. Original ETA: Sept 10- Sept 17. Shipped: 8/24 Config: SG/i7/8gb/1TB/5700xt/10gbe/trackpad/extended keyboard/AppleCare+

I ordered mine on the 15th, everything looks the same as your order except I got both mouse and trackpad. “Shipped” last night with a 9/1 delivery date. It was originally 9/9-16 window, which changed to 8-15 window late last week.

Now it’s sitting in the dock of the bay, waiting for UPS to come take it away.

Mine is still sitting in KY this morning... No movement overnight, doesn’t look like a 24th delivery for me... Good Luck to others...

Same here. I expected to see it out for delivery by now but no movement at all. Delivery date still says today.

I am in the same boat. Cleared customs twice in Louisville, then no movement afterward. UPS site still shows delivery today while the UPS app shows "Exception" (while also still showing delivery today)

Only one clear for me in app and no sign of exception yet. But it's clearly not making it to Florida today.

Mine is due 26th, and has been preparing to ship since Thursday Morning. As it is heading to evening, I am not expecting it on that date.

I thought mine was slow (sat in Shanghai for 10 days), but your progress is the worst ever, considering you ordered 2 days after it was released, and it seems many others have the same config. I suspect you will get it next week.

Mine same yours , prepared to ship on 22nd , shipped Monday 24th to be delivered on Wednesday 26th to U.K. ( initial was 1st September ) . I though early was Wednesday because UPS takes 48Hrs from
Ireland to U.K.

Edit: Mine went from staying at «label created» for over 24 hours to being shipped from Cork in Ireland today this afternoon, still the same ETA in Norway - tomorrow the 25th.

It's in Louisville this morning. Still no updated delivery date from UPS. Hopefully clearing customs is quick and it moves on to Baltimore.

Call Apple. They’ll push the investigation from their end, which carries more weight with UPS, since Apple spends way more money with them.
btw, I did contact Apple, and did not get much help beyond telling me to contact UPS and check the tracking and status.
However, perhaps coincidentally, the package then started moving very rapidly, and delivery is scheduled for tomorrow!
I can't post the entire transcript here as there are personal details. The chat was very cordial, but not very helpful.

ordered 8/20. Apple initially said I should expect it sometime between 9/14 - 9/21.
Today Apple updated the ETA to 9/1
when I check UPS and try to update the delivery date, it has a schedule delivery date of 8/28

order made with apple care and the Apple Card...

Any dates are very unreliable until it has cleared customs in both countries (export and import)
