Correct! Same for you?

DHL suck compared to DPD but Apple stuff always seems to come with DHL for me.
It’s not moved to Ryton near Newcastle. DHL have a big distribution centre down the road from Syncreon in Ryton-on-Dunsmore.

It’s something a LOT of iPhone buyers had a hard time figuring out.

Ahhh! Parcel.app has obviously mis-named it.

Makes more sense now!

I just thought it was some silly inefficient system... 😂

Funnily enough that’s the same app everyone else was having the problem with.
DHL’s Ryton depot is near Coventry if I remember correctly and only a short drive from Syncreon in Hinckley.

How do you order for store pickup? Apple UK online ordering says:

View attachment 1669201

Edit: Looking at Apple's web site, it may only be 'selected' Apple stores that are open for pickup.
You misread my message.

None of the M1 macs are available in store pick up. Everything else however is at my nearest store...

I've just ordered a Macbook Pro. I had to... ?

My first computer was a beeb. My second was an Archimedes. I ran that until it was unusable and then looked for a replacement but Acorn had gone by then, a victim of short-sighted management and dirty politics. So I moved over to Apple.

I've been waiting nearly twenty years for another proper ARM-based computer.

Not long now...

I always loved the Archimedes but had an Amiga 2000 myself at the time.
Glad to see another oldie who remembers the original ARM desktops ?

I remember playing Lemmings, Flashback, and Dune - Battle for Arrakis!

And I was working as a sub-contract engineer at the time. I used to send my CV out direct from my word processor via fax-modem. Cutting edge stuff... ?

Just moved into “Preparing to Ship”! Estimate hasn’t moved though, still says “26 Nov”.

Silver MBP/16GB/512GB SSD. Ordered 10-20mins after event finished.
Identical order and identical estimated delivery date as mine. Mine also says “preparing to ship”!

Same day in-store pickup (or express pickup as it is now called with the new storefront model) for non-BTO models will almost certainly go live early tomorrow morning.

I have a delivery time of 7.47 to 8.47 from DPD.

Shame I’m at work so will have to wait until this evening to get my hands on it.

My DHL status hasn’t changed since yesterday afternoon’s Ryton.

very unusual and have a bad feeling it’s not coming today...

EDIT: Apple’s order status has changed overnight to “tomorrow.” I’m livid! DHL site still says “today” but no movement on the tracking since yesterday morning and the SMS I got saying it’d come today.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone considering upgrading who is still on a 2015 rMBP, the Pro Max has hammered my bank account but I'm still tempted by the new Air..?

This is exactly me. Typing this on my 2015 rMBP right now. Finally upgrading my main machine and looking forward to it. I got a MacBook Air with 8+8 cores but upgraded the storage rather than the RAM so it's 1TB SSD and 8GB RAM. Since this is an Apple ARM machine I figure 8GB RAM should be plenty for my use. Need the storage (and CPU power) more. I have two Intel NUC's with 16GB RAM and to be honest I rarely ever use more than 8GB on either one.

Currently my order is preparing to ship and expected to arrive on the 25th.

For the iPhone 12 orders there were a few who’s DHL tracking was very delayed so don’t give up hope or get too livid just yet ?
