U.K. M1 Mac preorder thread

[AaronFisher]

4th - 11th Dec.

When people say its arriving on/before their quoted date, are you guys talking about the earliest or latest date?

My MBA 16/1TB ordered on the 21st is 8th - 15th, so will be interesting to see what yours ends up being like!

In my 30+ years of using a Mac, never installed antivirus. Generally not something to worry about on a Mac.
Any malware on a mac is usually something you might be tricked into downloading and running/give your password to. So as long as you don't download from anywhere suspicious, and use common sense, you'll be fine.

To keep this slightly on topic.. MBA 16/1TB ordered on 19th, still Processing.

Thanks revs, my first Mac actually coming from Windows

I ordered a MacBook Pro in Space Gray in 16gb/512gb config on 19th November. Was told ETA of 11th-18th December when ordering, orders page now shows "Arrives 18th".

So far, have these delivery times been optimistic, about right, or pessimistic? I keep checking for updates (not necessarily expecting any!) and have managed to persuade myself that I'll somehow magically have it by early December...

Ohh, now showing as "Arrives 10 - 17 Dec".

 

[revs]

Mine said 4-11th when I ordered. But says 11th in the app.

 

[twynne]

Mine previously said 3rd Dec was the worst case, but I noticed today the Apple app reports 1st Dec.

 

[dolbinau]

Apple have now charged me but my order is still 'processing'...does the charge mean that it's about to ship soon?

 

[robrandtoul]

Mine just left Stanford-Le-Hope, if it arrives at my local depot reckon I can just go in and ask for it?

They’ve got to f**king kidding me. Mine has now gone back to Cologne! Scanned 17:22.

me too... just phoning them now

Absolute clowns.

 

[Jakwob]

Absolute clowns.

I hope its a scanning mistake and they haven't actually gone back there... I'm just on hold with them now

Literally in the same boat as you mate, calling apple to let them know ups is a shambles and then ups to let them know this is unacceptable

 

[lewis7737]

Did yours show up at the depot? Mine left Stanford same time as yours. No scan since. I have visions of a UPS driver enjoying a greasy burger from a van in a motorway lay-by somewhere.

Nope nothing yet! I live fairly close so not sure what’s happened!? Are they walking? ?

if you check your status, does it show that its in germany now?

 

[jameseld82]

Just ordered through Curry's as I had a gift voucher from work to use and it should be here tomorrow.

I am so excited as this will be my first ever Macbook

 

[Jakwob]

So he said on the phone that it's probably a mistake, and he can see that it is still at the London hub... he said he couldn't see the notification that it left there at 05:21 this morning either. I couldn't quite make out his reason for the mistake, maybe give them a call too? Press 0 when its reading out the options to go straight to an operator

I hope it get's sorted out for you very quickly.

Nah still says it left Stanford Le Hope this morning

I will give them a call once i get through to apple, but thanks for the info, this is all unnecessarily infuriating.

I woke up to being charged, Preparing to Ship then Shipped all at once following last night‘s Processing stage. So I suspect shipping is imminent in your case

I am in the same boat, spoke to UPS, the operator said they didn’t know why it went to Germany again, and that they would organise delivery for tomorrow, I don’t believe her! I now have Reschedule Delivery Requested, on my tracker now, hope this helps and doesn’t make it worse.

Same here - left Stanford Le Hope at 8.54 this morning but no updates since.

Hmm weird, so she was under the impression that it had actually gone back to Germany? I just spoke to someone else who said again it's in the London hub waiting to be transferred to the Leeds hub.

Yes, she was. To be fair i am not convicned that she wasn’t looking at anymore information than i had.

 

[Argus500]

I just called UPS and the guy said it's in the London Hub and the tracking information is wrong. His only advice was to keep checking for updates. Apple now say it's arriving today. Grrr.

Same here, couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.
