Are the screens running behind schedule too?

Except in what appear to be isolated cases in which UPS/DHL have had a tracking problem, the computers are not running behind schedule. Indeed, a good number of people appear to be getting them before the promised delivery window.

Got mine on 4/9 (3/16 order)
I got lucky and spotted one at a store online last week. Due to the Easter holidays the courier didn't collect it until yesterday and today managed to deliver it to the wrong address. I've no idea where it is now...

I ordered on April 1st (see signature) and my June 27-July 11 delivery window hasn't changed. Reading posts here, I think that it's unlikely to change, if it does, until Apple debits my credit card and is on the verge of shipping the computer.

If anyone has seen a shortening of their delivery window unconnected to assembly and shipping activities with respect to their specific computer, I'd be interested in knowing.
I ordered April 6 (same specs) and also still saying June 27 - July 11. Some of these updates are giving me a little bit of hope for an earlier dispatch.

I ordered a M1 Max on3/11/22. Because of the 64GB choice the delivery was supposed to happen b/w 5/31 and 6/14. Then there was a pending charge from Apple on my credit card in early April. It shipped on 4/4 with an estimated delivery of 4/15. After enjoying a long stay at Honk Kong airport it arrived on 4/15.

Does anybody know how long after the release of an Apple product can one expect it on Amazon and other retailers? I find it weird that smaller places have some stock but somewhere like Amazon hasn't even listed it.

In the U.S., Costco, Best Buy, B&H and Adorama are already selling Mac Studio computers. B&H has two non-base configurations for the Max in stock.

Note that the retailer's return policy, not Apple's, applies to purchases from these vendors.

This thread, which I started on March 10, currently runs 11 pages and has details: In U.S. Apple Stores, what's likely to be available for pickup on March 18?

There are also some posts in that thread from Australia, Italy and the U.K.

Thanks, I guess I'm really just wondering about Amazon. They usually offer a few £££ off and do decent payment plans (5 month or 12 month interest free).

That’s good to hear mate!

I’m in SA, and the package is currently ‘in-transit’ in Melbourne with no updates for 2 days now. Had the pickup notification on the 11th and no update till it arrived in Sydney then Melbourne.

May I ask which state you’re in?

Did you get a text message from Apple with an estimated delivery date which corroborated with the actual delivery date?
NSW - Sydney. I received a message from DHL saying that the machine is onboard with the delivery courier, and then a message from Apple saying that today's the day of delivering the order.

Apple didn't provide any estimate of delivery date - aside from the original at the time of ordering being 5th May - 11th May. I had the tracking page at DHL open in a browser that I would refresh - once in the morning and once in the evening. Their system showed no-updates till the day it arrived in Sydneys' delivery depot and then onboard with driver with an SMS.

In the U.S., Amazon is not yet offering the Mac Studio. It is selling the MacBook Pros that were launched in October, but with no discount. It is offering payment terms on the MacBooks.

When I was looking for alternatives to the apple delivery time google sent me to this website, a retailer in germany called Otto.de the expected delivery date on there was June. I still had the link in my history since you can't order it anymore its already sold out.
I don't know if any retailers in germany get the Mac studio earlier than June but there is already a review on the product which is kinda confusing because I know for a fact it said on the website items expected in June.

Thanks mate.

My Mac Studio did land in Sydney and sounds like it is slowly transported interstate. According to a DHL support staff, the lack of location pings is peculiar. I just have to be patient, might just pop up anytime.

My Mac Studio just got delivered. I'm not home until tomorrow though, but still nice of Apple to deliver it on my birthday after all this.☺️

Mine is also out for delivery today , finally.
Do you think about calling Apple for some kind of compensation - maybe there is some kind of reaction from Apple ?

Hello, all. I ordered a Mac Studio (20/48/64GB/2TB) and a Studio Display on April 1st. The estimated delivery window for the display is June 3rd - June 20th, and the estimated delivery window for the Mac is June 21st - July 5th. My order's in the 'Processing' stage. I'm happy to see that some of you have received your orders weeks early. That's what I'm hoping for!

Unless the debit was an error or just an authorisation check, this suggests that you're going to get the computer much sooner than promised. If you get a shipping date in the next few days, I, and probably others, would be interested in the date.
Hello F-Train,

So I just received shipping info with a new delivery date over a month ahead of schedule for the 9th May.

A colleague of mine who ordered the exact same spec a week before had the same a few days earlier.

Not sure why, but good it's happening! Original delivery date given to me when ordering was mid to late June.


***EDIT***

Just clicked on track and now even sooner - APRIL 25th (order placed 19th March).

Interestingly enough, no delivery to my work place as planned by DHL today on the 21st of April. This is the message I'm getting:

Screenshot 2022-04-21 at 16.20.04.png


I'm still out of country till Monday, so not a big deal if it gets delivered on Friday the 22nd. One extra day is fine though, given how sloppy Apple's approach at the start was when promising April the 7th as the main delivery day. So yeah, 2 weeks later the Studio should be finally home.

Overall service rating Apple👎, but DHL👍.
