Sucks. Mine’s been sitting in ZhengZou since yesterday morning, and hopefully goes on a flight to Seoul tomorrow but still won’t be on its way to Europe by Tuesday 😩
Mine too. Still sitting waiting for “clearance.” It’s fine. Even if it gets here by the 27th that’s still at least a week earlier than the original 8/2-9 estimate when I ordered.

Ok so if I don't wake up tomorrow morning with a status update about it leaving Korea presumably on the mythic flight 5X11, the new "estimate" of Monday will be pretty darn impossible.

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 :(
Finally changed to “preparing to ship” yesterday and today has a said it shipped. Delivery date is now July 27th which is near the tail end of the original July 21-28 estimate. Hope the silver was worth waiting for so I can return the space grey that arrived on July 17th!
 
So last Thursday I got charged for the laptop and previously had a Aug 2 - 9 shipping date for the Custom 8c/10c/24GB/1TB Midnight model and today the status changed to "Preparing to Ship" but with an updated date of Aug 3 - 10 do we think that might be a glitch and my actual shipping date is closer than that?
 
You are too early, as it looks yours ain't went through customs yet, that step is coming next.
Also notice that 5X11 is just the callsign, meaning even if the current machine doesn't have your MBA and is on the way back to Seoul (as 5X20 I guess), there's already a new 5X11 arriving in Shanghai as 5X10 changing to 5X11 for your package.
this step should be visible as at least arrival / departure in korea. In the most cases (all for me) UPS does not mark it as departed from China but that could also come up, meaning it is definitely in 5X11

My old orders always were
- prior steps in EPZ
- cleared import customs
- arrived at (Zhengzhou)
- arrived at (Incheon, Korea) (few minutes after 5X11 landed in Seoul)
- departed at (Incheon, Korea) (also in time with 5X11)
- arrived at (Cologne, Germany) (few minutes after 5X11 landed in Cologne)
- destination scan
- out for delivery
- delivered

This was for my iPhone, M1 MBA, M2 MBA and my wife's iPad
Ugh…my MBA is still stuck in Zhengzhou. Has been there since Friday and no movement yet. Was really hoping to see an arrival scan today when flight 5X11 landed in Seoul. If it won’t be on a flight to Cologne till Tuesday (since there’s no flight tomorrow) I don’t think UPS will make it on the “promised” July 27th 😩

Edit: There is a 5X173 on it’s way from Zhengzhou to Seoul now. No departure scan from Zhengzhou but maybe my MBA is still on this flight? 🤞🏻 Don’t think it’ll be in Seoul in time to transfer it to the 5X11 in time for todays flight to Cologne though, so I guess it’ll be Tuesdays flight for me anyway 🙃

It appears that most of the ones shipped so far are the orders from July 8th? Has anyone's custom order (Midnight color) from July 9th shipped yet? Mine is a 8/8/16/512 Midnight ordered on July 9th and no movement yet.

I ordered mine on 8th July 10/16/1T and no movement. No charge on card either…..

Just saw it too, the flight from Zhengzhou arrived. Departure for 5X11 is delayed to 4:55 local time, so maybe they will manage to put it in in that time frame. Good luck!

That would be great! Guess I’ll have to wait till 5X11 takes off to see if my tracking shows any movement. For now tracking still says it’s in Zhengzhou. Thanks again for explaining about these flights. Fun following it like this. What will I have to do with my life after it’s been delivered 😂 Oh right…I’ll have a new MBA to play with 😂
Hope a lot of people see some movement soon 🤞🏻

Departed from facility, Incheon Korea! Seems it's finally on the way via 5X11 😍
You’re SO lucky! Mine’s been stuck in Zhengzhou since Friday. No updates whatsoever since. What does your full tracking info look like? Did you have a departure scan from Zhengzhou or an arrival scan in Seoul/Incheon?

Didn’t get any “departed from” update when the 5X11 took off so I guess I continue this fantastic streak of no luck.

I don’t get it, when they continue to give new optimistic estimates of the package arrival why don’t they make sure to chuck the thing into the darn plane? Now they are lying to me for the 2nd time with a delivery date that they won’t make.

Whenever next time I get the option to actually choose delivery company I’ll for sure not choose UPS.

Edit: Should add that earlier today they made another status change about late flights and what not, and that I no longer should expect it delivered by tomorrow.


Update. Got this now.

Departed from Facility

Incheon, KR

From what I can see there was no UPS flight taking off at 21:00. Guess they just threw the box in the river 🤷‍♂️

My guess is that your MBA is on it’s way to Cologne after all. They’re probably just late registering it. Not sure this is a thing, but my best guess.
