Anyone had a shipped 14 M3 Max in UK yet? , mine says delivery 15- 22 Nov but still on processing
I was supposed to get my 14inch max delivered next week, last night I checked DHL and still had no delivery date, but about an hour ago out of the blue it was delivered.
Loving it at the moment.

I started my own small digital agency recently, and will be using it for content creation, using Final Cut Pro and spending most of my day looking at large graphic files in Figma. That does use a lot of memory.Nice!! What kind of stuff are you doing on it? Been loving mine too
That strikes me as a bit odd. Processing didnt last that long for mine. Did you order late on the 31st? Maybe you missed the initial batches and so they’re waiting for more stock to be produced? I ordered my CTO 16 a few minutes after the store came back in the early hours of the 31st and it was delivered yesterday.
If you’re getting a stock model, your best bet would likely be to check stock levels in nearby Apple stores.
Yeah I ordered it 9pm uk time 31st October. I guess I’ll just wait as technically says until 22nd November.
I ordered my BTO at midday on the 31st and it came yesterday too. I guess I just made it in the first batch.
Ordered late on 11/09, 16” MacBook Pro:
- Apple M3 Pro chip with 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine
- 36GB unified memory
- 2TB SSD storage
- 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display²
- 140W USB-C Power Adapter
- Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, headphone jack, MagSafe 3 port
- Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

Yeah you likely missed the first batch then but I'm sure you'll get it soon. Once they do get shipped out, they usually get delivered a good chunk ahead of the delivery timeframe. Usually about 5 days from when it get shipped out. Sometimes as few as 4 days but it depends on which flights the machine gets on, where you are in the country and if there's a weekend in the way, that kind of thing.
Mine was ordered at 5am on the 31st of October, got a date of 21/11 - 28/11.
Payment appeared as pending on credit card on 9/11
Order went preparing to ship 14/11 and at the same time the pending charge disappeared from credit card :-/
Still twiddling thumbs and putting up with my 2015 MBP that randomly crashes.
Full fat M3 Max, 16", 128GB, 4tb, black
Edit: Went to shipped status at 6:56am this morning, still no charge showing on C/C

Snap! I have the exact same spec and mine also went to shipped at that time so we’re probably in the same shipment, and my credit card had a pending payment, that disappeared a few days ago, so no charge yet, but I am sure they will charge us or be knocking on our door for payment at some point!
Status from yesterday showing as southwest china, looks like its following the route as the others on this thread but a week later, so if it follows the same flights looking like Monday
I even rang them up because the AppleCare+ payment has been rejected (I think they left it too late), they assured me that the money for the mac had been taken......
Fingers crossed that it arrives on Monday!
This Monday. From China to Hong Kong to Bahrain to East Midlands to London
.
Received invoice just after 3am this morning and the charge has once again appeared on my C/C (this time it's not pending). No free MBP
Just waiting for them to leave Hong Kong now.....
Mine took payment this morning, so that’s a good sign even though still says processing. How about yours?
Edit: now says preparing to ship

I also got an invoice overnight but still no charge on my card this morning for the laptop but they did put Apple Pay charge on yesterday so if they managed to apply that charge I am sure the other will follow soon.Received invoice just after 3am this morning and the charge has once again appeared on my C/C (this time it's not pending).

Also waiting in Hong Kong hopefully on the move soon
I think they are on flight 3S509, estimated to arrive in Leipzig at 20:52. Although I could have that completely wrong! It left Hong Kong at 15:50 and my laptop had a departure scan at 15:43 (Hong Kong time).

That sounds about right the only other alternative was a 18:05 flight going the other direction direct to the uk with some stops via Nagoya - Cincinnati - East Midlands (DHK001) but 3S509 would make more senseI think they are on flight 3S509, estimated to arrive in Leipzig at 20:52.
