They won’t say why. They only say they it’s not lost but they cannot do anything due to the current global conditions, and they can’t really give an estimate right now. (I read it as the pallet is stuck in China and they can’t get it moved because of the lockdown)
I'm seeing a lot of frustration and confusion about shipping. For those who don't know, hundreds of ships are anchored outside Shanghai. Yes, shipping is slow out of China. I'm sure Apple is doing its best to get product to people, but they, like other businesses, have put themselves in a position of being dependent on China. In an effort to avoid any political BS on this board, I'll simply state that the frustration you feel is deliberate and intentional. The "global circumstances" are disrupting all aspects of life.
I deal with a lot of shipping and receiving and I can tell you that NOBODY can guarantee delivery dates and NOBODY has the logistical ability to tell the truth about where things are at any given time. It is not the fault of the people at customer support, DHL, UPS, Fed EX, etc. They are trying to get through their day just like you are.
And for all of you lucky folks getting your base models and Max units early or on-time, FEEL BLESSED. If you even have a unit that's processed or shipped at this time, FEEL BLESSED. My Ultra (ordered 3.21 with 2TB SSD) is still estimated for June.
We'll all get there in time.
I do REALLY appreciate everyone updating their status regularly!
