That's what happened to me. It says they attempted a delivery but no one was home or business closed. Not sure how they came to that conclusion when I'm sitting near my door and no FedEx trucks have come by...
When was this? Did they eventually deliver later that day or was it delayed?
 
When did everyone's account actually get charged for their MacBook? Day of shipment/dispatch confirmation email, earlier, or later?

In general you get charged just before it changes to “preparing for shipment”.
 
Out for Delivery today so it looks like it may make the original ETA. Looking forward to putting it through its paces. Already sent back the trade-in.

This was today. They have yet to deliver, but on FedEx it says I can pick it up after 7 pm local time. So going to try that, because at this point I don't trust FedEx to deliver it.

Mine went from "delayed" to "scheduled delivery: pending". I called FedEx and they were no help at all. They didn't even give me the option to pick it up myself. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow.
 
Mine was delivered today. (Hooray!)
FedEx would not allow me to pick it up, and it had to be delivered on a weekday. It said out for delivery again today, and the scheduled date never changed from Pending.
Our neighbor put it inside the house, so it is waiting for me when I get home this afternoon.
 
How long after getting the UPS tracking should it be active ? My tracking number was sent Saturday and still not active lol

Finally! That's a great neighbor too. Enjoy
 
Just checked my order status and it just changed over to "Preparing to Ship". I'm using Apple Card financing and the charge that was authorized for taxes and fees is still showing as pending.

My shipping followed the same path. FedEx still says Scheduled Deliver: Pending.

Ordered: Nov 8
Shipped: Nov 23
Memphis: Nov 25 - Dec 4
At Destination Sort Facility (Charlotte): Dec 4
At local FedEx facility (Charlotte): Dec 6
Fingers crossed for today

14" M1 Pro 10c, 16c, 16c, 32gb, 512GB

Update: On FedEx Vehicle for delivery!
Update: FedEx decided it did not clear customs and it is going back to Memphis. Went to the local FedEx center and that is where I learned that. Guess the waiting continues. Hopefully it delivers by the expected date of 11/29… oh, wait.

My tracking number was sent Friday the 3rd for a Dec 14 delivery with UPS and the number is still not active. It was originally ordered on Nov 26: 16" Max with 32MB memory and a 2T drive. Credit card charged for Apple Care on the 4th and the laptop on the 5th.

Ordered 10/31 - 14inch 32c/64G/2TB
Original delivery window - Dec 2 - Dec 9
Got pushed back to Dec 6 - Dec 13th

Card just got charged this morning (Dec 6th) and status changed to "prepare to ship"

no tracking info so far
 
Ordered November 10th. Still says "Processing." Estimated delivery date is Dec. 28-Jan.4

14" Space Grey
M1 Max, 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU
1TB SSD
64GB RAM

Kinda odd seeing a bunch of orders AFTER November 10th on this thread already preparing for shipment or even delivered. Must be the M1 Max that is holding things up for me?

Most likely. I think Apple is prioritizing the 16-inch M1 Max at the moment since the configuration that you have is most commonly associated with the 16-inch.
 
How long does it take for tracking info to be available? According to the Apple Store App, my delivery date is next week but when I click on the ”track shipment” link in the app, the UPS tracking info isn’t available. This happen to anyone else?

It’s the memory that’s the hold up
