I've come out the other end of being annoyed, I'm just going with the flow. "Whatever dude" is the new attitude with Apple.
I feel this, as I've said, 110%. I get that this is happening around the pandemic, and Apple's shipping is otherwise stellar; however, I seriously doubt I'll come out of this wanting to order a product directly from Apple for the rest of my life. After waiting like this, I definitely should've gone with a retailer.

So now the Scary Triangle on the Progress Bar is gone, but the Scary Delivery Date is Still there. It says it departed from the Facility in Incheon, so Where's it gonna Go? The Next flight from Asia to Anchorage is from Incheon to Anchorage. That's in 8 Hours. I hope it ends up arriving 1 day late from the original August 6 Delivery Date and not on AUGUST 10. My classes start on the 11th and 12th.

As @sirgib said: Whatever, dude.

I bet it will catch the next flight! It’s next in line to take off. I know another day is killer, but I bet you won’t have to wait the weekend.

In case it helps anyone whose iPP hasn’t shipped yet, Amazon has 2020 12.9s wi-fi 128/256/512 in stock. Also in stock is the 2020 12.9 wi-fi+cellular 128 and 1TB models.

I'm certain the change to "as soon as the item is ready" is because you've hit 8am on the first day of your arrival estimate and not related to how the order is progressing. It was the same with all 3 of my items.

Mine went to preparing to ship 2 days later

It was different for a previous order I had. I ordered a sleeve for my MacBook two weeks ago which was in stock and scheduled to be delivered 4 days later. It showed "as soon as this item is ready" within minutes after placing the order and went to preparing to ship a couple of hours later.

Here’s day two of shipping on the UPS side - I’m assuming next is a flight over to the US?

I cancelled my original order and reordered on July 20 to upgrade from 256 to 512gb. Arrival date is now August 19 to 26. No charge to my card yet and order still processing. I have my case, pencil and cords that all came weeks ago. Hopefully I will see movement soon. Anyone else order around July 20? Have you seen movement?

Amazon and Best Buy had my configuration available online last time I checked but I am going to stick to my Apple order. I get nervous about reports of people getting a bad Apple product from a third party retailer.

I ordered an 11-inch engraved a couple of days after you. Still processing too, but I'm hoping for some movement by the end of next week.

Well.. After a detour (Eindhoven > Brussels > Amsterdam > Out for Delivery...?!) My package arrived this afternoon and I’m typing this reply on my new IPP with Magic Keyboard.

I know this has been said before, but all of your patients will be rewarded! What a sweet machine. I actually like my Magic Keyboard better than my MBP (curse you, butterfly scissors!).

This baby will definitely help me out teaching undergrads and wrapping up my thesis. Super psyched!

I wouldn’t worry about Amazon with Apple too much. Apple would still stand behind their products if anything were problematic.

I actually bought my 16” MBP this year from B&H photo in NYC. Saved $300 off the $3299 price tag so I am happy with the transaction.

Anyone Else ordered July 6? When is yours coming? UPS still says mine is coming August 10 because it "Failed to be Loaded onto an Aircraft". Still in Incheon. I wonder if it will get on the next flight from Incheon to Alaska which is in 5 Hours. I hope it will get on that Plane. Hopefully I get it one day late on August 7 and not on August 10. I remember one other person had theirs delayed like mine. Where is yours?

I am not gonna order from Apple Directly ever again unless it's less than a Week.
