I don’t expect to see it tomorrow. It would be unusual to get next day delivery from China. Lucky to get it Saturday. Maybe Monday.

Mine is somewhere between Hinckley and Swansea.

I guess it will arrive today. (Across carriers, we often see parcels in transit to Swansea, or wherever their South Wales depot is, and then suddenly out for delivery.)

Had been wanting/needing to go out to do some shopping this afternoon. Looking forward to the delivery time update.

Added - must have updated almost as I was posting this reply:

08 Nov 2024 08:02SwanseaYour parcel has arrived at our Swansea depot

Added 09:02:

Your parcel will be with you today between 12:54 and 13:54

Well that’s hilarious, first time this has happened.

My BTO m4 pro was dispatched from Shenzhen and left Hong Kong yesterday morning and it is now out for delivery today.
 
just got a notification from DPD of delivery between 15:38 and 16:38. It is going to be a long day.

Previously I had something land at Koeln @ 3AM and it was out for delivery @ 9:25 the same day to me.

I hate the lack of umlauts (Umlautzeichen)! I felt had to translate that to Köln in order to translate it to Cologne.

(In reality, it has been around long enough for me to recognise Koeln but I still feel the need to do so with less familiar words/placenames.)
 
Just got notification that my 24/512 mini is due today between 12:30 and 1:30. Was originally scheduled for Monday.

Now need to read up on how to migrate from a 2014 Air!

That's because you've been watching the paperwork as they go through the customs and courier systems. Unlike with UPS in the US we don't track the actual physical item anymore.

Mine is due today 13:40-14:40. Better got start moving the three other Macs about. Anyone wishing to buy a nice little base model i3 Mac mini lol.
 
Mine has just arrived (thanks DPD for the early slot!) - like the box design and packaging, has a braided power cable which is slightly unusual but I guess aligns with the MagSafe cables, and now getting all set up! First time I've ever bought a Mac for launch day delivery!

DPD man just dropped mine off a few minutes ago, an hour before the advertised slot. The unfolding box is cool.

Now to get it setup.

2nd launch day Mac mini, last one was 2009!
