I'd be surprised if it gets on a plane so soon after being processed. There's another flight to EMA in about an hour that's a more likely choice. Still, East Midlands is in the arse end of nowhere so even if it gets there in the next couple of hours, it's still a several hours drive down to civilisation so I doubt it'd get down to me ready for delivery rounds, if they are doing Saturday deliveries. :p

Well, not today and not tomorrow. Can’t see any DHL flights to East Midlands on the departures from Leipzig schedule, however the schedule only goes to 22:00 Sunday night.

So am hoping the first flight to EMA Monday morning will see the MBP’s arrive in the U.K. ready for delivery Monday.

The DHL flights aren’t all listed on the schedule as I believe they’re flown largely ad-hoc based on DHL’s needs. Last night, two flights to Nottingham appeared at like 3 and 5am that weren’t listed at midnight.
I think most of DHL’s flights are at night too because priority is given to people carrying flights in the day. So there’s a good chance our laptops will be on flights in the small hours of the night later today.

My money is still on Monday. Darned shame it’s not here today though as there’s been an unusual major power outage here and my Mac Studio doesn’t work without power!!

Mines arrived at a Shanghai facility for 2 days now. UPS. Says it will arrive in SF on Monday. Not sure how that’s possible.

Just seen mine go to preparing to ship today - estimated delivery was 24-27th (M3 PRO 1TB 36GB RAM 14”), can I expect it a lot sooner?

Where do you look to see the flight schedule ?

You can see departing flights here: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/lej/departures

Not all flights are listed until they’re confirmed though as I think DHL operates a lot of ad-hoc flights based on cargo needs. There’s now another flight to East Midlands scheduled for 21:25. You can click through on there to the flights in question to track them and see their expected landing time. Off the top of my head I think the earlier one was due in at 6:30pm-ish UK time.

Aaaa man if i wasn‘t making tea I’d head down there now and take some pics of the landing! I guess this all means that we’ll be getting our machines on Monday :) exciting

Yeah I think that’s likely. Means I can spend work hours transferring everything! Although apparently with thunderbolt that’s pretty fast.

Yeah I need to figure out migration assistant, heard it can be tricky to force the Macs to use thunderbolt rather than default to WiFi…

Of corse its referring to the trade in kit and the MacBook delivering on different days
