Nice spec, crazy how shipping times were very stable initially but now a week on they’ve started to slip quite a bit. Wonder if they’ve had some last minute issues
Got a tip for us?

Not so much some buyers remorse but intially suckered in by the space black. Mine is due for delivery today but going to be returning it as I haven't come close to stressing my M1 Pro so I think I'm going to sensibly bow out for a couple of years at least!
Mine has changed to customs processing complete - although physically seems to still be at 'DHL Sort Facility EAST CHINA AREA - CHINA MAINLAND'. I still think there's an outside chance of Friday delivery, but the Apple stated date of Monday 13th does seem more likely as from memory think DHL will fly the shipment to Leipzig and it then goes either to the Netherlands and then UK or straight to UK. Either way I think there's one more hop in the middle rather than a straight China>UK journey.
My M1 Max went from china to Leipzig then to East Midlands. My m2max went to hong kong before going to Leipzig so who knows this time around lol
That sounds familiar - I may be conflating my memory of a past UPS shipment that went via Eindhoven with DHL!
Hardest part now is to try find the flights our Macs are on. Im not expecting mine to be shipped until around Friday
PREPARING TO SHIP! Wooooo 
still 16th-20th but feels like it’ll be closer to the 16th (or earlier) if it ships in the next few days

Im guessing 13-15th. seem like ours could ship togetherPREPARING TO SHIP! Wooooo
Did you order the max from the App Store?I ordered two machines, a M3 Pro and a full-fat M3 Max. The latter ordered only yesterday. To my surprise the M3 Pro still hasn't been shipped, while M3 Max is already shipped and due for delivery tomorrow
Yes, both from the App Store. The Pro was ordered right after the event, so confused why the Max I ordered yesterday was shipped so fast. It's a lottery, it seems
That is lucky. Can you buy me this weeks lottery ticket? 😂Yes, both from the App Store. The Pro was ordered right after the event, so confused why the Max I ordered yesterday was shipped so fast. It's a lottery, it seems
Amazon have taken £200/£250 off a couple of the M3 Pro SKUs for anyone interested. Pay in 5 available too

We need to find the flights now, im pretty sure ours will be on the same flight.
Im still guessing the 13th
13th would be dreamy
will keep checking today and see if there's any more updates
A product can get anywhere in the world in 24h if there's no hold ups but im sure customs will intervene lol13th would be dreamy
My MBP M3 Pro (base) arrived yesterday.
The MBP M2 Pro (base) which I ordered on 23rd October is going back today. I realised the difference was only £80, I'm happy to pay the extra £80 for the newest model.

Anyone get the M3 Pro base? Just wondering if its worth paying the £200 extra to increase the (mainly GPU) cores
I'm guessing they had an initial order capacity, and that just got burnt through.
I got the M3 Pro base. I don't regret it.
The M3 Pro base is basically equivalent GPU performance to the previous gen M2 Pro base, which is disappointing; but the CPU performance is definitely a decent improvement.
But, is the extra GPU performance worth the extra £200? In my opinion, no.
My MacBook went from 'East China' to Hong Kong and from there has just landed in Bahrain. Hopefully there will now be a direct Bahrain to UK flight, but conceivably it will go to Europe first.
EDIT: A bit of lunchtime googling and I think there's at least some chance it will have made DHL flight D0792 from Bahrain, landing at 20:17 at East Midlands Airport. Which means maybe an outside shot at Friday delivery instead of Monday?
