Ordered 16" M3 Max Space Black, 36gb ram, 2TB SSD -- delivers Nov 15th.
Ordered the above on Monday 10/30 about 5 hours after orders were opened. Got a Nov 15th - 17th delivery time frame. CC just got charged on 11/5 and flipped to preparing to ship on the tracker. Hope it gets here early!
 
My 12/18/36 is now in..

Arrived at Facility
11/05/2023 11:39 PM
Louisville, KY, US

But still shows delivery between 15-17 Nov, coming from M1 10/16/16 so excited none the less…
Mine was on the same plane - and shows in KY as well. Apple won't update their estimated delivery date until UPS tells them something more specific. Apple is also telling me Nov 15-17. UPS still isn't showing a delivery date for the tracking ID; hoping that will change in the next 24 hours. I checked my pkg history and the last thing I had delivered from Apple via UPS took 3 days to get to my house once it hit KY. Apple was promising that one much sooner though. Fingers crossed that they arrive this week vs next week. I'll be really bummed if it just sits in KY for no good reason.
 
So, my shipment from Apple just showed up in my UPS My Choice, but it says it is coming from Lebanon, Tennessee, which is literally about 3 hours from me (I live in Memphis). I don’t remember that ever happening before. My MacBooks (and I buy them at least every couple of years) usually ship from China. Anyone else have Lebanon, Tennessee as their point of departure?
Was your delivery date 11/7?
 
From here, I am not too sure which route our Macs will go. From the past experience, it needs to go through customs in Louisville, which took 2 days.

I'll be buying M3 Max MacBook Pro in the Apple Store and will be returning M3 Pro coming in the delivery, so I think I don't have to wait more.

I ordered the binned M3 Max ... but keep wondering if I should have gotten the unbinned M3, with a bit more memory. That config is available in stores on Nov 7 (at least according to the store page). It's quite a bit more money though... not sure I need that much power!

Probably doing the same
 
Still nothing in UPS or on Apple’s order status for my supposed delivery tomorrow. Looks like mine might be getting delayed.
 
Mine arrived in Louisville last night but did not depart. My guess is Apple has them held for a Nov 7th delivery and it will fly out to Dallas this evening for delivery tomorrow.

What was your original delivery date?

I have the same delivery date of 11/7. It’s just strange that the MB Max orders have UPS information but the MB Pro orders do not yet still have ‘Arriving Tomorrow’ on the order page.

Just got a text with my shipping notification 😊
 
Apple just let me know that it has actually shipped but still shows the 15th - 17th. However when I look at the shipping details on UPS, it is sitting in Louisville. Gonna be a good week I think :)
 
I got the Apple notifications about an hour ago that my fully loaded 16" Max will be here tomorrow. It arrived in Louisville last night. Usually that means it flys tonight to my area and then delivers in the am.
 
Just checked my order. MBP14/SpaceBlack/M3Pro11C/512GB. Scheduled for delivery Nov. 7th, ordered as soon as orders went live.

I only just got my tracking number and the label is only marked as printed and hasn't entered the UPS network yet. I honestly have no idea where it is (but its shipping via Next Day Air)

Hoping for an on time delivery!
