Nope, flight departure was at 4:01 am but the container get scanned before departure. Then UPS transmit tracking update after the aircraft leave the airport. So basically took 18 mins to update tracking info.

I'm guessing this will be the next leg. Small chance we get this tomorrow.

No way that can make it for tomorrow delivery. For Thursday, yes!!

With no more delays, it's scheduled to arrive to Louisville - KY by March 30th at 11:20 am so plenty time for customs clearance and distribution to final destinations with delivery for March 31st.

For those who are just seeing credit card charges processed. I got notification that my credit card was processed last Friday morning, 3/25 just saw today that the Studio has moved to preparing to ship. The scheduled delivery date was 4/17 to 4/20 so I am hoping to get it sooner than that based on what I am seeing here. Now I have to wonder about when the Studio Display will move towards a ship date.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't think it through. Plus, UPS needs time to sort everything into the appropriate flight.

Ya who knows, right? I've had Apple charge my card several days before an item reports as Preparing to Ship, and I've had orders generate tracking numbers a day or so before charges have appeared. Trying to figure out when you'll get your new shiny is fun, but ultimately it's all just astrology for dorks.

I didn't get charged until it was sitting in Shanghai. Who knows why.

I'll get my trade-in box before I get my Studio, but only by a day or two.
 
Just chiming in to say that my Mac Studio appears to be part of the "3/30 3:32 am" departure from Shangai group. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get it by this Friday.

Studio Display still shows as processing…

Mine didn’t stay on the same plane in Anchorage. The plane it came to Anchorage on is now enroute back to Seoul. Hoping it will be on one of the flights heading to Louisville this afternoon. If it is then there is a small chance I could get it tomorrow.
 
For all the UK guys in the same batch as mine, our studios look like they’re on the way to our local UPS hubs. It’s looking like tomorrow could very well be the day we finally get them in our hands!

We're in Incheon now, and we should be good for Thursday if we stay on UPS 91, and it's schedule holds up. Plus, we have a few hours of wiggle room in that schedule.

Haven't been this excited for a new Mac since the G5.
 
Fun story. I emailed Tim Cook a few days ago.

Hi Tim,

I think the Mac Studio purchase experience sucks. Ultimately with the all in one iMac, when the package arrived, I had a whole computer ready to go.

I purchased a complete setup - Mac Studio, Studio Display and Keyboard & Mouse.

Now I am playing tag with delivery companies for multiple packages arriving/being redelivered at my door when I am not home, including some massive delay on the actual studio machine that's holidaying in Shanghai PDC.

I would rather be getting some work done.


Yesterday I received a personal call from Tim's executive assistant, with a personal apology from Tim. He said that Tim agreed that this experience sucked and they will do better.
 
Yes, pretty sure we are staying in UPS91 as that flight goes all the way from Shanghai to Louisville ;) No change of planes as I can see!!
 
Last UPS flights for the afternoon are leaving Anchorage. My Studio needs to be on one of them to have any chance of getting it tomorrow. No departure scan yet.
 
Just moved £5000 to the funding account which will pay for the Mac Studio. I expect the charge to come either this week or next week, considering others’ progresses.

@Joekawasaki Yeah, Anchorage seems to be the new Shanghai. Mine arrived the same flight as yours and you’re right, no indication of a departure scan. The last flight of the day departed for Louisville 3:10 PM local time.

This… is… so… excruciating….

I'm also frustrated waiting on a Mac Studio and Studio Display that will probably arrive at least one week apart. But, to be fair, there's only so much Apple can do. I suppose they could ask if buyers would prefer to get all ordered items at the same time, but that's more complicated logistically. Also, China is in the midst of a partial COVID lockdown, and supply chains remain constrained worldwide.

My main complaint is the inaccurate tracking information from UPS, which says my computer will be here tomorrow even though it hasn't yet left China. :)

Got departure scan from Anchorage. Not sure which of the 5 flights it is on but any of them should get to Louisville in time to make the flight to Minneapolis.

Whoever is in charge of updating the delivery dates system at UPS must be smoking something really bad!!! UPS91 flight is scheduled to arrive at Louisville by March 30th at 11:20 am. Well I just got an update in my delivery date from March 31st down to March 30th LOL 😂 Not funny enough delivery time is from 10:15 am to 2:15 pm so I’m getting my Mac Studio even before the plain landing 🤣
