U.K. M1 Mac preorder thread

[kitenski]

Mine is with UPS and I have a tracking number. The delivery estimate date is on Apple store. UPS show scans in Shanghai but no confirmation of delivery date yet. Service is Worldwide Express Saver. It’ll probably sit there for a week now judging by threads on here!

Cheers I hope mine will appear on DHL tomorrow! I wonder where it it 😂

If anyone's interested you can pick up a base spec MBA tomorrow from Apple store at Manchester Arndale centre.

Mine now has ‘shipment cleared customs’ as its DHL status. It was last tracked at EZP China and is showing as ‘in transit’

Ordered a MM 16/512 On the 3rd Dec.

ETA 29th Dec 😢

only just seen it switch to preparing to ship.

 

[andrewstirling]

You’ll get it sooner. Apple always err on the side of caution with regards to delivery dates. My Apple delivery date was the 30th but DHL tracking is saying the morning of the 17th

Just thought I'd drop my final timeline in in case it gives anyone any clues as to when there's might turn up.

Spec: MBA 8/8 16GB/1TB
Delivery type: Express
Delivery window: 08/12 - 15/12
Ordered: 21/11
Charged: 08/12
Preparing to Ship: 08/12
Shipped: 09/12
Delivered: 10/12 (DPD)

It looks like as my order was marked as express, mine was delivered via DPD so I didn't have any tracking from China etc.

I know it doesn't help but trust me, these things are worth the wait. Running iOS apps is also really cool!

 

[andrewstirling]

Ah I’m guessing yours was shipped from the uk. Sadly my shipping is likely to take a bit longer.

 

[kitenski]

I got my DHL tracking number yesterday but it’s still not “showing” on the dhl website! Very frustrating especially as I sold my old one on Thursday!!

 

[ItWasNotMe]

Ordered 16/512 Mini 18th Nov. Original delivery slated for 23 Dec, arrived the 8th via UPS. Could have been earlier as it spent two days sitting at Hong Kong airport

Super fast and so far runs cool. I've allowed Folding@Home to use up to seven cores so all the CPU's are flat out most of the time - case is barely warm.

Mind you, Bug Sur seems confused. It just offered me a tour of my MacBook Air

Hey guys, so my MBA arrived last week, here is the final shipment summary. See you on the owners thread boys and girls! 🤙🏼

Sounds like you are correct. Status has switched to shipped and I have the tracking number from DHL 😁

coming from the Netherland.

So maybe in the next week.

Anyone else currently ‘Delayed in transit’ stuck in Shanghai?

 

[andrewstirling]

Mine has been ‘in transit’ for two days. It left chengdu but has pretty much disappeared now. Lol

 

[andrewstirling]

Just arrived in Hong Kong. Seems like this stop can be a bit of a wait based on earlier posts

It was for me. About 3 days there. I can see my MBP shipped from China on the 8th. Spent 3 days in Hk and now in the UAE. It says delivery due to me on Tuesday.

Think it goes to Cologne next then finally into the uk!

Just an update for any lurkers. I‘m in Munich and ordered a 16/512 MBA.

Ordered: Thursday, 3 December, Scheduled delivery 21-30 December
Preparing for shipment: Thursday 10 December
Shipped (DHL): Friday 11 December

DHL webshite (sic) shows „Shipment information received“ in Eindhoven, with the Apple website showing delivery of Friday 17 December, DHL estimate delivery is tomorrow, Monday 14 Decamber by 22:00 (I‘ll believe that when I see it!)

 

[kitenski]

Has anyone else had shipping notification but the DHL number given not working?? I got notification on Friday that it had shipped but the tracking link and number given just show up as unknown on DHL.

 

[ItWasNotMe]

If its UPS and you are lucky then it might catch UPS1 at c17:00 to Cologne today which means you might get a UK delivery Wednesday

 

[andrewstirling]

Yeah it’s UPS. Where can you see scheduled flights? I can only see flight history of UPS1

 

[Prorege1]

Is it only the special built/non standard M1's that is delayed in the U.K.? Here in Denmark we already have competition between the shops, just found a MBP 13" M1 basic 8/256 for GBP 1,105 which is approximately a 20% discount from the normal listed price, happy

 

[andrewstirling]

Yeah it’s only really the built to order ones that have lengthy waits and need shipped in. I could pick up a base configuration today.

 

[welshboyuk]

My base mba still a week away, I can’t get to a big city due to lockdown restrictions. Still eta 19th (6 days to go). Still order being processed / no cc charge yet

 

[ItWasNotMe]

Yeah it’s UPS. Where can you see scheduled flights? I can only see flight history of UPS1

https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS1 shows where it's heading and a history

 

[andrewstirling]

Yeah but only shows past flights. The most recent flight took off from Hong Kong last night a few hours after my laptop arrived.
