Exactly a week ago I got the message my Studio was shipped and the shipment information was received by DHL (I live in the Netherlands). Apple says my order will be delivered on tuesday 5 april, but I haven't seen any shipment updates. So I wait patiently...
I think you’re one of the first to post about getting this combination. This is what I ordered so it’s good to see them in the wild. Hope my May 8-22 slot moves up (ordered March 9th in China).
Sorry to hear that. Definitely keep escalating the investigation to both Apple and UPS.
Mine finally did arrive earlier in the week, outside of the delivery window though.
Ah ... My beginning is fascinating. First, I noticed that the time was incorrect - despite being synchronized with the internet. I couldn't log in to my Apple ID. I finished the initial setup - creating an account, connecting a trackpad, etc. After which I decided to do a reboot, Studio get boot-loop, after 10 or so loops I've disconnected and refused to start. Somehow it turned on again one time, restore didn't help. Revive (via DFU) without success - Apple Configurator shows a different error on a different computer every time.
I don't know if this fvjking Monterey is causing issues, if it's some hardware proble ... I'm still trying to do something.
Involve Apple Support at this stage, if I were you. If it's a faulty Mac, well might as well get it replaced as early as possible.
Hang in there. That’s the worst part of the waiting process. After that it moved pretty quickly for me.
Missed my delivery yesterday as well. And now I just found out about a strike in Belgium that is causing huge backlogs for the carriers. Argh!
I asked for a replacement. I now have to wait two working days for the courier.
Does anyone know if in the event of a replacement, I will have to wait for the new Mac Studio as long as others? Will I have a higher priority?
Unfortunately, DHL Express did not deliver it today, although it was supposed to be delivered today. Allegedly, I was not found at home, although no one rang the doorbell. There was also no one else there, also no card in the mailbox. I had even booked a drop-off authorization without signature at the front door via the app. Absolute impudence of DHL Express to say you would not have met anyone, although it was simply not tried. Now it takes until Monday.
Well, my Mac Studio arrived yesterday, although very late (after 8 pm). I'm now waiting for the Studio Display, which switched over to preparing to ship yesterday but hasn't seen any updates since. Estimated delivery for the display is March 31–April 7.
As frustrating as it is to get a duff machine, it would be pretty difficult for a company of Apple's size to manage a separate priority queue for replacement CTO machines.
Assembly is already running at full capacity, so you'd be "bumping" someone else. It's not unusual to see someone on this board go apoplectic if UPS is a day late - just imagine the rage if they felt that people returning machines were being shipped "their" Mac.
And how, for example, would you prioritize someone who bought the Max and was mostly happy with it, but on day 13 decided they would rather pop for the Ultra? Do they go to the front of the line? Do they get their machine ahead of someone who's maybe been waiting since the store opened on March 8th? What about if, alongside the amended order, they claim their unit has undue fan noise? The easiest way to answer all the possible questions of how you manage a separate replacement queue is, unfortunately, to just not have one: send any re-order back into the general pile.
Finally, after days of misinformation from the UPS tracking I now have my hands on this beastly machine 
It took a trip to the UPS depot in Tamworth and the tracking down of the delivery driver but it’s here and I couldn’t be happier

Not that anybody cares LOL, but received email early today that my MAX 1tb is shipped and ETA April 14th. No word on the Studio Display.
In the UK. Ordered a 20/48/128/8 on 9th March. Got an estimated date range of 5th-11th May.
However, yesterday in the wee hours, Apple attempted to take payment, which my Bank refused (because its easier to just count everything as fraud until proven otherwise right?) Then they tried again today, which my bank refused again even after I authorised the payment (must've seen how much Apple were charging me)
After much hoop jumping, the payment kind of went through and is now 'pending' in my bank app. Apple account still meh.
Do these sudden shady card transactions mean anything? Or are they just getting their beans in before tax year end?

I had a payment taken from my bank a few days before it shipped (it skipped PFS)
Chase UK doesn’t tell me of authorisations as far as I can tell.
