Current status for my BTO MacBook Pro by DHL. Wish it was DPD 😑

Processed at EAST MIDLANDS - UK: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 at 19:44

The apple website states that it’s going to be delivered on Friday 19th, but surely it should be delivered tomorrow if it’s in the Uk.

Did it moved to shipped in the 14th?

Only a couple of late November orders now left on processing but most have movement now.

Roll on 3-7th December!!
The timeline:

UPS label created on 12th (notified through UPS account) then email from Apple to say dispatched, marked as Shipped.
Bounced around Shanghai a bit on 12th
Bank fully charged on 13th
Eventually left Shanghai this morning, arriving in Korea but now in Köln as of 17:22 GMT.

Don’t think I’ll see it before Thursday but can always hope!

Yeah, I’ve been wondering the same, I want to like it but it gets a lot of negative reactions and im not bothered how it charges the battery.
Personally I can’t stand the Magic Mouse as it is too flat and too small and doesn’t support the hand at all. I use a Logitech MX Master 3 which is slightly more expensive but works really well and has lots of customisation, if that is important. However if you want a portable mouse then not really ideal as it is quite big and relatively heavy. Whether a mouse is suitable is a personal thing but given how odd the Magic Mouse is and how polorizing the views, I’d suggest giving it a try if you live near an Apple store or somewhere like John Lewis to see whether you could get on with it.

Might make use of apples returns period and see how I fair with it. The mx3 master is a no go due to me being a leftie!

Currently have an mx anywhere but it’s the type that needs the connect via the receiver. Pretty annoying that it’s not Bluetooth and the unifying receiver is usb a so needs a dongle ( usb c to a ) to plug in to a Mac.

Been eyeing up the apple mouse and keyboard (with Touch ID)

Fair point on the MX being useless if you are left handed. Unfortunately there aren’t many left handed mice with bluetooth.

Yeah it’s annoying as the options are limited! Once I have an idea when the new Mac will arrive I think I’ll try the apple stuff out. Extended Christmas returns will help
