No, not if you're in the US anyway. If it's still in Shenzhen and hasn't cleared customs yet like many of those who have posted their status already, it will likely move this evening or tomorrow afternoon. Once it clears customs and actually leaves Shenzhen, delivery dates on UPS will better reflect actual delivery dates.

Curious did you use your phone number or order number to track by reference?

Still showing ‘processing’ this morning. Looking at my credit card statement, I can see Apple have charged it for the Mac Studio. But not for the monitor yet. Maybe that’s got something to do with it.

I hope they don’t delay the computer if there‘s a hold-up with the monitors. I’ve already got a monitor I could use for the time being.

Still showing processing - with a delivery date of March 21st-22nd. My black keyboard & mouse arrived today. Very nice - but just ornaments until the computer arrives!

Looks like mine maybe arriving a bit late. I was originally give March 18-21 as a delivery date, now it says 3-5 business days. So I guess that makes it March 18-22.

Has anyone who just got “prepare to ship” status yesterday for a base or set configuration (not BTO) in the USA, been able to track by reference on the UPS site with their telephone number yet? Thanks!

My Studio originally scheduled for March 30-Apr 6 had a pending charge put on my card last Thursday and moved to "Preparing to ship" on Saturday. The pending charge fell off my card this morning. Anyone else have this happen?

 

[CodeSpyder]

This waiting until late May / early June sucks. If a local Apple Store has inventory this Friday if it is what I want or greater, I'm taking it.

For those of us in the USA that still have the 'Departed from Shenzhen Facility' status on March 12th, I'd say our computers are on one of these two flights:

5X77 (UPS77) United Parcel Service Flight Tracking and History 15-Mar-2022 (SZX / ZGSZ-PANC) - FlightAware

Track United Parcel Service (5X) #77 flight from Shenzhen Bao'an Int'l to Anchorage Intl

Hard to say. There may be multiple "departed" and "arrived" scans in Shenzhen before it even hits the plane. The only thing we know is these macs have officially departed from the Foxconn facility in Shenzhen.

Really wish there was an accurate delivery time window with UPS. It would suck to use the restroom and miss the doorbell. ?

Also hope it comes Friday and not Monday.

 

[activeuk]

what does this mean the date as now done was 21-22 march now just says
We’re preparing your order and will notify you when it ships.

I ordered the Apple keyboard with black keys and Touch ID. It arrived today via UPS and I had to sign for it. I authorized release but he said since it was from Apple, I had to sign. Glad I was here.

 

[CodeSpyder]

If your Mac Studio is coming via UPS, you can have it held at the UPS Customer Center near you. Don't have it held at a local UPS Store as you may get a delay in delivery. But you can pick it up at the Customer Center instead of waiting for delivery. You can call UPS to make sure you get the right Customer Center.

My Lenovo laptops did the same thing. I think it mean's we're stuck in the lockdown. UPS says basically the same thing, we'll tell you later, and I've never seen that before. Oddly, my label was created in Hong Kong, which is just across from Shenzhen

My Studio wasn't near shipping, so it is what it is, but the Lenovo's are shipped along the same route.

yes. but apple site still says prep to ship. visa fully charged the studio, but charge pending still on the display and ipad.

Ordered at about 8pm eastern on the day 64GB RAM and 4TB of storage and 24-core GPU. Still processing.

Imagine if Apple requested UPS to stop giving updates to those tracking numbers and hide the shipping status on purpose... It's weird how Apple order status still shows preparing for shipping. My MacBook Pro and Apple Watch said shipped when they were out of factory.

Yeah its weird Apple only shows shipped the day before or sometimes even the day of arrival.

Mine has been showing prepare to ship since Saturday and still just a temp auth on the card. Never had this before and I always thought preparing to ship meant it was built and ready to leave on a pallet.

 

[xgman]

I don't think their status updates in real time. maybe once a day or so.

I think Apple waits for customs to clear before they update incase there is some issue or delay. From there its pretty easy to guarantee a date of delivery.

I thought Foxconn had closed.
