In Louisville, UPS will put your Ultra on a UPS connecting flight early tomorrow (Saturday) morning to an airport in the vicinity of wherever you live. Depending on your location, you may get delivery tomorrow.

My Max arrived in Louisville around 1 AM EDT, as yours should, and was put on a UPS flight to JFK that arrived around 6 AM or so. UPS delivered my Max in New York at 10 AM EDT.

A person in Denver whose Max was on the same Hong Kong > Taiwan > Anchorage > Louisville flight as mine also received his Max in the morning, before 11 AM MDT.

Fantastic. I'd love to get it tomorrow and have time to set it up and copy data over the long holiday weekend. I'll be sitting at the computer watching the Formula 1 race in Monaco anyway, so this would allow me to multitask...

Mine is coming out to California and we have a plethora of airports within an hour or so of us. They could even drop it off at the Apple HQ "spaceship" on the way. 😁

Also I just got the "Cleared Import Customs" message from UPS, as expected.

But there are several users with similar configurations, but purchased in March (1 month earlier).
How is it possible that it is shipped, and the others are still in the process?

Was wondering the same thing...
I got the 128 RAM, so I guess that's why mine takes longer, but for the folks who got the 64GB, it's quite frustrating.

A lot of luck I think. I assume there are multiple order queues, and that sometimes one briefly moves faster than the others even though - overall - the rate is about the same. Slow!

There may have been cancellations too amid speculation that a Mac Pro or M2 macs will be announced at WWDC.

I speculate Ultras have lower yield, especially 128GB and/or 64 GPU. Had thought of setting up a multi linear regression but not enough data.

What do you make of the fact that seven of us (5 in the US, 2 in Europe), ordering between March 24 and April 15, all received our Max 32 core, 64GB memory, 2TB storage on May 18, 19 or 20?

Good point…you mean the maxed 64GB in particular. Hmm, I don’t have an immediate answer 🧐

Except, maybe…somewhere (here?) I read speculation a failed Ultra may still yield a good Max. That would explain higher max production if that is true.

As well, I wonder if Apple were honestly caught out by the demand for Ultra, whatever the true figure is. I assume it’s not really as high as the 38% indicated by the poll here, but it may still be high!

Yes, I'm talking about the M1 Max with 64GB of memory, the same as the base Ultra. Plus 32 core graphics and 2TB of storage.

Those were the specs of all seven computers in the group of Maxes that was followed and discussed here, five destined for the US and two for Europe. They were ordered between March 24 and April 15 and were delivered on May 18, 19 or 20.

Hard to believe that delivery of all seven of them over three days on two continents was just chance.

I guess a manufacturing and delivery chain finally running as originally intended once lockdowns eased would go a long way to explain the pattern here. As I read your argument, seven machines/two continents is a small but also a random sample, yet they arrived more or less together. As also suggested recently; given the spread of order date there seems to have been batching going on. In which case I expect hundreds of Max orders between those dates also arrived in customers’ hands.

So why don’t we (yet?) see this pattern with ultras? Thoughts?

Just seen in the dutch version of the Apple Store: delivery Mac Studio M1 Ultra upgraded between August 20 en September 5
 
FWIW, right now my part of the world (New Zealand) shows July 25 to August 8 for base studio ultra: any customisation (GPUs or memory or SSD) it’s ‘10-12 weeks’, essentially the same as the Dutch store
 
UPS tracking is behind. But for my Ultra-brothers with their Studios on UPS 61, the plane has just taken off from Anchorage and is on its way to KY. Current estimated arrival time 12:30AM EDT.

Yup :) Given your location, I think it's likely that UPS will deliver your Ultra tomorrow.

a question pointed to the europe fellows who already received a max-config:
Does anyone have similar quesses/information about what route/flight is used to get the Studios out of HK towards to Europe?

F-Train said:
I expect that your Ultra is on the flight in the first screen capture, and will continue on to Louisville in accordance with the second screen capture. UPS may tell you that your order has cleared US customs during the Taiwan > Anchorage leg. The screen captures are from Flight Aware.

If UPS Tracking has a departure time for Taiwan that differs by an hour or so, the below, which is live, is correct, and UPS's tracking is wrong. I noticed on my own UPS Tracking that UPS initially showed the right departure time and then changed it to a later time that was incorrect. If I recall, it did the same thing for the Anchorage departure. Don't know what that's about.

I'm not in Europe and others will have more detailed information, but...

A lot of the deliveries to Europe, maybe all of them, appear to go via Cologne.

Both of the above are UPS deliveries. As I understand it, DHL is handling some deliveries, but I don't know which ones.

There is no such thing as a loaded/non loaded pattern with ultras except processing generally slower than maxes. 1/3 of 27 ultras, let´s call them "The Early March Batch", will hopefully arrive in 1 week from now, 11-12 weeks after order. That´s about the lead time we´re seeing with later and new ones. Bto Maxes seem to move much faster.

Mine did the exact same route to get to the UK as listed in the quoted post above.
Particularly the 4 wait in Hong Kong, which seemed to last forever, but once it left HK it was very quick to arrive on my doorstep

That's a pretty good question.
Now that it's Saturday 21:30 HKT, it marks 4 days without any progress for my machine.
UPS-state shows delayed shipping with a estimated delivery for Monday.
