Finally seeing some movement. Delivery is 3rd-10th December ordered 31st October (after cancelling a few other options) my debit card had a bit of movement saying the payment was pending again on Wednesday and I can now see preparing to ship!

Ah great!!

Hopefully see something update on mine now too as it’s the same window.. though did order 3 days after you.

What spec did you get? will update the tracker!

JinJin, it might be worth you taking a look at this accessory for the Magic Mouse which is available on Amazon. My son, who uses a Magic Mouse, bought one last week and swears by it. He said that it gives more support and makes gestures much easier to do.

Perfect. I’ll check them out if it’s a struggle.

We're only 1 day difference in shipping - what was your spec ?

I bet we're going to ship almost the same day (albeit other side of the world LOL) - just a matter of waiting.

If we do ship same day we should have a race see who gets their machine fastest.

check out this post. I've been trying to track as many of the UK bound deliveries, specs, dates etc here



I went from a 14"max 32gb, 1TB, to a pro (10/16) with 16GB/1TB, returned them both and settled on a pro 8/14 with 32GB/1TB!

Ooo my estimate has just improved by 1 day to match yours 3rd - 10th December.

The annoying thing for me is international couriers like DHL if a shipment lands in the morning at Kansai airport it will take like a day to clear customs and then usually it will get handed over the following morning to the local courier.

I live on the island of Shikoku (one of Japn's 4 island) and its like the "Aberdeen" of Japan so DHL doesn't come out as far as us so they hand off to a local courier.

However because it only gets handed over first thing in a morning it's missed the overnight transit run so spends like the better part of a day stuck in the local couriers transit hub waiting to be put on a truck to my local depot.

Would much prefer a within 24 hours of landing in Japan reaching me but sadly takes 2 days :(

Tell me about it - I've had it with Amazon.com deliveries - they land via DHL and even if they land in a morning they don't get handed off till the following day. It seems like there is a set time each day where hand offs occur which is first thing in a morning.

The other frustrating part is that you don't get the local tracking number - you have to wait for it to say "Handed off to local courier" and THEN you can call ad get the local number.

At least I have the mobile numbers of the couriers who server my area so as soon as I know it's out for delivery I can phone them up and be liek "I want this box ASAP"

I used them years ago for a HDD and never had any issues with them :)

Hi guys, I ordered a stock 16" on 21st October, delivery 19th Nov - 26th Nov. Still showing as processing as of today (19th Nov) with no updates nor charge on my card.

Was perhaps hoping/expecting an earlier delivery, or at least by today (19th Nov) given in-store and third-party reseller stock has been pretty good for this model these past few weeks. But oh well. Sure it'll be here next week.

From experience of getting my 14" a few weeks ago, that suddenly went from processing to preparing for dispatch to shipped all in a few hours. And then it was delivered next-day DPD. I'm in Scotland.

Thanks, that was me! The mx master is pretty much ruled out for me as I’m left handed.

Have read lots of similar comments to yours regarding hand support so that got me thinking to look at it he Magic Trackpad too.

Still going to try the mouse first, and given the extended returns over Christmas, take that time to decide on how I feel

The trackpad is really nice, I used to use that.

Perfect. I’ll check them out if it’s a struggle.

Oh nice, which keyboard? Very has the Apple space grey one for £75. I have the MX master keys to match my MX mouse

I really like the Harber cases but the only portrait one they have is £129 (so I can leave it open to charge).

The kind UPS delivery guy who comes to my work everyday, dropped off my MacBook Pro, I had it being delivered to my in-laws, so means now I can go straight home to play 😀 Going from my old 2009 MacBook Pro which I’ve had from new is going to be a nice change.

well my polishing cloth has updated from 8-10 weeks to 6-8 weeks!

I guess that was expected as two weeks have past since the last update :rolleyes:

Placed my order on Wednesday and it said 8-10 weeks, after seeing your post checked the Apple Store and it’s changed to 6-8, so not related to when you’ve placed your order

My 16 M1 Max 32GB/2TB just shipped via DHL. Original Delivery date was Dec 1-8, now showing 29th Nov. Hoping it get here by next week since over a week from ship seems like a while.

Anyone have DHL tracking on how long it takes from pickup to delivery?
