I have to admit that 2 weeks of "processing" is driving me a bit nuts though. I had my order in 15 minutes after pre-orders went live. It's hard to believe that it resulted in this many more days of waiting.
I ordered the Pro Max Black w/128 GB ... I'm guessing my storage choice wasn't as popular as the 256 GB+ options so demand for my model might be lower and therefore quicker to fill order-wise.
 
I am currently in Bangkok and sat with my card ready for preorder. Launch day first, but the website had a glitch and changed the language to Thai at the address page and I couldn’t choose my province in the drop-down. When I eventually sorted it, delivery changed to 4/10-11/10. 🙃

Getting a bit annoying now. My date range is still Sept 26 - Oct 3 (i.e. the start of the range for delivery is today), but 0 movement and no charge to card yet...

Same, only my range is Sept 27 - Oct 4.
No change in status since the morning of Sept 9th when I placed the order.

For the base pro.

My 28th to 6 Oct 256GB Gold 14PM is now entering the preparing to ship phase as well. Looks like it'll arrive more towards the end of that range. Pity.

Not necessarily. I doubt it’s coming from overseas. Depending on where you’re located, it could reach you very soon once it ships.

More than a day and mine is still "preparing to ship". I've never had such slow progress with an Apple order. To think that if I had just gotten my order in a few minutes faster I would have gotten it on release day! Oh well. As I said before, first world problems.

Same here :(

Over 2 days of "preparing to ship" with no actual shipping. I guess it won't be arriving before the very end of my Sep 27 - Oct 4 range, and likely when I'm out of town early next week.

Got mine 512 space black pro max today! Originally delivery date 18 Oct, surprised it was delivered today!
 
Apple really do a terrible job in regards to scalpers. My Facebook marketplace is flooded with Pro’s $200+ above RRP.
Yea stinks cause the ones with the power don't exercise it. If people wouldn't pay the scalpers, they'd dry up. I'm convinced they are worse this year because I've never seen in store Pro stock so sparse
 
More than 3 full business days of "preparing to ship" with no further change. That's not normal, is it?

I contacted Apple yesterday and they said to keep waiting basically. I’m expecting it to arrive by the 3rd/4th at this point.
