My Display is scheduled for April 1st to April 8th. As it’s already the 3rd that leaves 5 days left and it’s still labeled Processing.

:rolleyes:

My 12 March order (Mac Studio M1 Max 10/24/16, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD) dispatched on 31 March (originally due 13-22 April). After dispatch, delivery (I'm in the UK) was predicted 11 April, but that quickly changed on both Apple's order page and UPS to 4 April (tomorrow). UPS tracking shows it arrived Shanghai on 31st March, but it doesn't look to have moved since...

What is the typical wait in Shanghai for UK orders? Might it be en route but the tracking hasn't been updated?

I picked up a Studio Display from the Birmingham Apple Store this morning, and the black Magic Keyboard and Mouse have been here since 13 March, so everything else is ready to go...

Sometimes it just doesn’t leave Shanghai (or is it Shenzhen) for a few days.

Once they get to Korea, they tend to move pretty quickly. Wednesday is totally on the table. My Mac Studio arrived in Incheon 3/30 and was on the truck for delivery 3/31 (just remember that those times are all local).

Exactly the same boat with spec ordered and dates - hopefully they get moving from Shanghai soon.
 
The only thing giving me hope is that it seems that the Displays are shipping from within the United States not from China.
That's what I'm hoping. My delivery windows is 3/31 - 4/7. Currently, "preparing to ship".

I keep telling myself, it'll get here when it gets here. At least I have the Mac Studio.

Mine arrived fairly quickly, although I ordered within a minute of availability.

I have the same delivery window. The status updated to "preparing to ship" on Wednesday or Thursday of last week. Still waiting for it to change to "shipped."
 
Mine just departed Shanghai at 4:50pm on 4/2. Had been there since 3/30. Still pending a delivery date from UPS. Though theoretically possible to make Monday as long as it doesn’t get hung up anywhere.

@dizmonk @colday @ct2k7 @RPadTV, and anyone else I missed: How are y'all looking?
mine is in Louisville as of 3-April. sadly, UPS has it scheduled for 6-April, but hopefully it gets here slightly earlier. :)

Looks like we’re in the same batch. Has yours left louisville? Mine looks like it’s on a truck up to DC that left at 4:32pm. (I’m almost positive it’s a truck and not a flight). UPS has updated to show delivery to tomorrow.

I'm stuck in Louisville... It should be here (Boston) tomorrow but UPS is still saying Tuesday.

Glad to hear y’all’s batch made it to louisville, at least. Still not sure why ours took different routes to end up in the same place at the same time.

Italy here.

I'm thinking of sending back my M1 Ultra because of that infamous whiny sound (I have been blessed with one of those units) and because I see no evident difference in performance against my old mini M1 in my workflow (100% because of bad software optimization).
Perhaps planning on getting a much less expensive 64GB M1 Max.

That said, for any custom configuration (so basically the 32-Core, 64GB, 64-Core and 128GB versions of the computer) it is 10-12 weeks of wait :oops:

I'm sure it would end up being delivered earlier, but still...
This factor makes my decision to keep my unit or not VERY HARD

What software you using, if I may ask?
 
Reading your experience in another thread... man that's awful :/
I don't know what to do...
The M1 Ultra Studio already streatches my budget...
Even if the base Mac Pro will be better, I 100% won't be able to afford it.
I could send this back and get an M1 Max 64GB (I still need a mac), but I'd have to endure almost 3 months of wait...

On the other hand, some further optimization could bring much better performance.
I have to make a choice on how much I want to risk in future development of the software but, wanting to stay on mac, it's still something that cannot be forseen, so buying the strongest M1 there is, would still make sense.

Really don't know what to do.
I have time until the 14th to sent it back.
I'll do many tests until the 11-12th and then decide what to do.
 
Max ... only option is a 4TB SSD
ordered 3/20
delivery estimate 4/19-26 (US)
moved to preparing to ship today so I'm guessing it will arrive earlier than anticipated.

What country you live in? Cuz it feels like you're skipping the line ahead of me. 🤨 Mine was quoted 4/5-12 and still processing.

darn ... US .... should have included that info ..... I'm surprised it's moving that fast. the display had an earlier delivery window and it's still processing. I guess if the Max arrives I'll cancel the studio order and pick one up at the Apple store.
