Configure a system on Apple website and you can get real time info on order status. But the short answer is yes, there is a wait. And many people don't mind waiting even at the present prices. I didn't.

I ordered a 14" around the same time still not delivered.
Ordered M1 Max 32c CPU on 12/01/2021 with original delivery window around last week of Dec.
•On 12/30 it was updated to “on or before 01/28/2022”
•On 01/29 it’s now updated to “on or before 03/21/2022”

Ordered a 16" M1 Max, 24 core GPU, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD on october 30 through a reseller in the Netherlands. No news about a delivery date yet ...
Yes, I guess. Apple does not have its own stores here, only a distributor/authorised reseller and repair agent. I ordered it from them. The laptop also has an Icelandic keyboard, so I suspect that my computer configuration will be one of a kind in the world (there are only 350,000 of us...not exceedingly likely that someone else will also get a fully maxed out one, given the cost here).
I was able to find my configurations in-stock either at Apple Stores or other Authorized Resellers after looking for a few days. My orders from January were not slated for delivery until April. Keep an eye out--you may be able to find what you're looking for without the wait.
Just an update for people. The reseller told me that Apple had contacted them and said that they are having trouble fulfilling deliveries for the M1 Max models. They said that my computer is scheduled to be mailed on March 13th and arrive in Iceland around a week later. So it looks like it will be a total of four months or so from when I ordered.
Mine was 2 days short of 7 weeks…?just came yesterday.

So far seems great no visual flaws that I’ve found yet.
Along with all working fine too (the most important part ?)
Imagine spending Mac Pro prices to wait 2-3 months.
That's why I ordered immediately after launch. It still took me 20 minutes to complete the order. I had the order screen up on two browsers on two separate computers in case one order got lost. I'm happy with my MacBook Pro and not waiting. I thought about upgrading to the M1 MAX but decided I didn't want to wait. If you need one right now, you're in a tough place.
I ordered in December... My delivery window was this week and I just got a message that I wont get it for at least 2 more months... Luckily I just found one on B&H that says it will get here tomorrow so i pulled the trigger... So ridiculous.
Got this one from B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1668323-REG/apple_mbp_16_sg_25_16_2_macbook_pro_with.html
My original order from Apple was the same model, but with the 4TB drive. Right now, B&H only has the 2TB configuration, but I'd rather have that now then wait 2 more months for Apple to catch up on orders.
Just be aware that if you buy your MacBook from B&H (which I love for camera equipment) it's yours, no returns. Any problems are between you and your warranty.
My dad ordered MacBook Pro 16” 2021 for my graduation on March 20, 2022. It arrived on April 19, 2022. The original delivery date was April 28-May 5, 2022. I was enough lucky to get MacBook Pro 2021 with Apple M1 Max and no delays.
