BTO Air 16gb, 512gb, 8 core in silver, ordered 19th Nov with an original delivery estimate of 10th-17th Dec. It went to preparing to ship on Thursday then shipped on Friday. As everyone else from what i can tell, I got a DHL link but it’s just said Eindhoven since Friday. The dispatch email from Apple has suggested a delivery date of 15th and I’ve had my invoice email, but I’m hoping it arrives some time this week.
Worth noting - it seems deliveries go from Netherlands to Germany before heading to the UK (at least with DHL Express). So expect to see LEIPZIG show up on the journey first.
It appears it will then be flow from German to applicable UK airport (e.g. gatwick) before a local carry to destination.

UPDATE:Base MBA ordered 26/11
Order confirmation said delivery expected 4th - 11th December
Order changed to "Delivery on 11th December"
Status today changed to "Shipped, Tracking information will be available shortly" with a Tracking number for DPD
I have the DPD App installed on my phone which says " We have received your order details, and we're expecting your Parcel shortly"
Once they have it I'll be able to follow its journey.
( Typing this on a 2020 i5 Air which will be going to my wife. Her 2014 Air will be passed to our daughter, everybody wins)
I just took another look at the tracking link from Apple and it has updated.
The DPD tracking app now says that my parcel is on its way to my local Depot and will be delivered Monday ! ???
Tomorrow is going to be busy daisy chaining info from i5 Air to the new M1 , 2014 Air to the erased i5 and finally a backed up user partition from the i5 to the 2014 Air
The pending charge on my credit card for my base Air with 16GB RAM order from Dec 1st has changed to the full £1078.80 (education pricing). Still saying delivery by 29th Dec but hopefully some movement happening.
Mine went from processing to shipping a couple of days later, and it’s coming today! ( schedule was Friday)
New forum user here, just this minute pulled the trigger on a MBA 16/256Gb. Been considering the upgrade for a few weeks, moving from a Mid 2014 MBP15 which has been flawless, but a bit overkill for my usage these days. Hopeful to get this new machine just before christmas fingers crossed!
Mine's supposedly delivering by the end of today, but the last tracking update was when it cleared customs on the 4th. I don't have high hopes but we'll see.
Still no updates. I've instructed my legal team to draft their letters, but am hopeful that it'll update later in the day!
Any updates on your delivery @itrends?
It moved to Germany, then to luton last night, then Heathrow, and now it is at Gatwick and expecting to turn up tomorrow.
If yours didn't update yet, be sure to check around 3pm today. Seems they get pushed through around 1pm ish.
New update. Just changed to 'out for delivery' today even though was scheduled for tomorrow.
So hopefully you'll see an update on the progress of yours during today. But it may be Wednesday rather than Tuesday.
Either way, hopefully it'll shift shortly.
Which courier? My DHL parcel landed in E Mids yesterday afternoon and travelled down to Gatwick overnight. You should have had an update since the 4th methinks.
Well mine has just arrived via DPD. Yesterday it went from "Despatched" to on its way to your Local Depot to Will be delivered Monday.
Got a notification that it was out for delivery and further notifications when it was one hour, and 30 minutes away.
Delivered in an all electric vehicle.
I opened the plain shipping container but the box with the MacBook is quite cold so I'll leave it for a while until the box reaches ambient.

Which particular supersonic jet will this be carrying this out for you?
My tracking still says cannot be found lol. Apple store customer service sucks, literally I was trying to connecting to an advisor for over an hour and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone.
Strange but I don’t think it’ll update honestly. Just wanted to know what day it’ll arrive in case I’m not home.
It was shipped on Friday if that helps.

some times this means that Apple have created the shipping notice but the courier hasn't picked it up yet and scanned it into their systems.
Or they've c*cked it up ?
Lmao well I guess I’ll just wait and see. Honestly if it doesn’t come by 15th dec ( the expected date ) then I’ll get worried. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious, quite annoying though
