Looking at my order status like…
Nothing near Chicago.
All just base models.
Nothing near Chicago.
‘Yeah. I’m live blocks away from the Michigan Ave store. All base models available.
My card also got hit with the charge today. Stayed in "processing" status for a couple of hours then changed to "shipped to store".
I haven't gotten a tracking number yet, but then again I don't know if they still give you a tracking number if you have it shipped to the store rather than your house.
My machine - 8-core GPU, 16GB, 1TB in Starlight - arrived yesterday and I picked it up this evening on the way back into town after a brief vacation.
Wow. What a machine. Love the form factor, the color, the screen, the weight, everything, really. It's exceptionally fast and snappy. I haven't done much yet other than log into iCould and start downloading my music and full-size photo libraries, and set up Time Machine, but everything just seems incredibly fluid.
I'm really looking forward to making use of this in the coming weeks and months.

Apple still says Order Processing but delivery window went from 8/2-9 to 8/1-8. Fingers crossed UPS is more accurate.
10/16/512 Midnight, shipping to Idaho.
I just checked mine a few minutes before this and discovered the same!!
8/16/1TB. Originally set for Aug 2-9. Slated for Tuesday July 26 delivery. Currently in Shanghai.
Silver 10C/16GB1TB ordered on July 12. Apple delivery estimate of July 21-28. Still stuck at processing. Last night, the wording changed to “We’re preparing your order and will notify you when it ships.” but the green line is still stuck at “Processing”. I guess I’ll be getting mine at the tail end of the estimated delivery
Mine moved too! After being stuck in Zhengzhou for some mechanical issues it arrived and departed in Incheon!
My UPS tracking is still at the same point as yesterday morning. Is there any “use” in me checking the tracking during the day, or is there normally only movement in it during our night/morning?I can understand your excitement, but I doubt it, since it makes at least one final departure scan before leaving the continent, either in Shanghai, Seoul, or both. In my case the "arrival" at Zhengzhou matched the takeoff time for 5X11 from Shanghai for some reason and next thing I saw was "arrival / departure scan" in Incheon/Seoul.
Also UPS is doing the bare minimum to provide a date, meaning that they want to make sure it doesn't come much earlier for you to be home.
Notice that the UPS status is usually already in the proper time zone, it should show the exact time any flight took off.
And UPS is doing the bare minimum to ensure a delivery date, don't take the date for serious, unless the plane really took off or you have at least a departure scan in Shanghai / Incheon, it is still there.
There's also no too early but definitely no "too late", if your package says Jul 27 but the plane didn't take off (see dep. scan) to arrive at least the day before (in the evening in cologne, in this case 26th), it could change to "delivery date will update" meaning you are bond to the departure scan to know when it will arrive later.
I saw some folks here having exactly this issue, mechanical problem which is usually staff problems. In the worst case the waggon with all the packages for that day was mistaken / misplaced, not able to be put in the plane in time, set aside, and in the worst worst case I saw people waiting weeks for their delivery date to update after this
Edit: Arrival scan ZhengZhou at 14:00.

Ha! Just got a text from DHL that I've got a delivery from Apple planned for today. Destination is set to the Apple Store here in town. Now this is fun! I've been unable to get the DHL tracking working but at least their SMS service works.
I am a bit confused, It appears my Macbook is being delivered with DHL. Got the Tracking on Wednesday with an estimate for next week Thursday and it just says "Netherlands".
Now this morning I saw it is slated for delivery today (!) by 10pm (Germany) but it's still just showing "Netherlands" and no actual delivery steps in between. Is it really coming today?

I don't have a UPS tracking. It's just DHL. If I click on the tracking link for my Macbook on the apple website it goes directly to dhl.com
UPS tried to reach me yesterday, but I assume that's just the trade-in kit for my old Macbook.
Oh wow! DHL already says it's been delivered to the Apple Store. Now how long does it take for Apple to process the deliveries and send me the notification for pickup?
Mine departed Incheon at 1:30 PM that matches the UPS 5X11 flight to Cologne which left at 1 PM. So probably it will be in Cologne this evening. A shame that UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays. 🙂
Mine got cleared from the Export Processing Zone by customs yesterday, and today it reported in at the ZhengZhou UPS facility. Apple also emailed me the bill last night. Delivery is still announced for Wed, July 27. 🌍
My Midnight 8/10/24/1 had the Apple Store app showing processing last night but this morning is showing shipping to store. So I’m guessing it’ll be ready for pickup next week sometime. I wouldn’t think that I’ll get shipping updates or a tracking number from a carrier since I’m not the actual recipient.
I’m just happy to see some activity.
