Ordered the16" Mac bookPro Max, 64gb/1tb drive.
Seems to be sailing through customs on all sides.
Crossing my fingers it will be here by Saturday.
They shipped it Fed-Ex international priority express.

Got email from apple to update my payment details because of the date limit has passed and apple is trying to pull the amount again without luck…

Problem is I had an original order that I canceled to make custom changes and reordered a new setup ? had a talk with apple who will provide a proof of the order to my bank, and also apple has forgot to release the original amount of the canceled order.

Solution was to get my bank to temporary raise my limit, so fingers crossed it’ll go through within the next 6 days - otherwise apple cancels my long awaited order with delivery set for 8th-15th December ?‍?

A 3rd charge has now been reserved from apple on my account, so I'm guessing it was succesful! ??

Who do you know? I ordered mine Oct 18. Took delivery of a damaged 16” M1 on Nov 1. Returned Nov 2. Replacement authorized and “processing” from Nov 2 to Nov 25. FINALLY shipped on the 25th. It’s been in Shanghai since the 27th. I made a call, UPS International. They can’t find it. “It’s gone … “ I was told to call Apple to start an investigation. I have made two payments. Third is due 12/31. Tell me if you know someone. Please!!

Things have moved fast...in the last 24 hours, my MBP has gone from Shanghai > Incheon > Anchorage > Louisville (about 40 ago min according to tracking). Nice! Looks like I should receive it Mon, Dec. 6, though UPS still isn't providing a delivery date.

Mine's somewhere in North America at last...

Ordered November 5th. 16" Max w/32 GPU cores, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Original Apple estimate of December 17-25th for deliver, thought I'd get a nice Christmas present for myself. Then Apple moved the delivery estimate up to December 13-16. Card charged on Monday, label created on the 29th, and final delivery update says December 8th.

Anxiously tracking FedEx flights leaving Alaska...Would be nice to get it before the 8th so I can set it up and take it to a work site next Wednesday.
Well it cleared customs FAST. Left Anchorage this morning and FedEx finally updated the delivery date to…

TODAY. ?

In the meantime, there is also news in my situation.
After I have called UPS twice again today, each time I was told a different nonsense,
I was fed up and have contacted Apple. The employee put me on hold and then contacted the UPS contact who is responsible for Apple. It turned out that the employees were apparently unable to scan the shipment and have not passed this on to the shift manager. I was assured that the shipment will leave the UPS center on Monday at the latest and should not arrive later than Wednesday.

The Apple employee was audibly shocked by the behavior...
Has apologized and also sent me an Apple gift card as a small compensation via mail.

So if you have problems, do not hesitate to call Apple directly!
If I had not done that, I probably would have had to wait weeks.

?‍♂️ Got a UPS My Choice email advising my MB will be delivered today! On a Saturday! I did not pay for weekend service. Then again, tracking doesn't show "out for delivery" on the timeline as a checked item....so who knows? I was not expecting it today, so it'd be a bonus, but I know I'll be mad if I don't get it since now I have an expectation, hahahaha!

Mine made it to Anchorage. Glad it’s in the US! But unlike others here, who show it leaving Anchorage within 4-5 hrs, mine hasn’t moved for 12hrs. I did follow up with UPS, and they said yes, an investigation needed to be started because it was untraceable and hadn’t moved from Shanghai for seven days. They told me if it sits more than 48hrs, call it in. She also said it might pop up, which it did. I wonder if Apple and UPS have a thing going on. UPS agrees not to scan, but keep the process going. More stressful for us, but less labor/resource intensive for them. Cos it’s VERY reasonable to assume it will be delivered by Apple’s first estimate (Dec 8 - Dec 15) or even MAYBE their second of Dec 6. UPS originally estimated Dec 6, quickly changed it to Dec 3, then just as quickly PERMANENTLY changed it to “We’ll let you know…”

So, there it sits. Anchorage. As I said, glad it’s finally in the US!!

Sigh. I knew it was trouble when the shipper was FedEx.

Got a notification that a delivery attempt was made but no one was there. I’ve been at my desk working all morning, and can see out the window. My front door has a Ring doorbell that tells me when someone came by. I know for CERTAIN there were no FedEx delivery truck that drove by all day.

Delivery attempted my ass. ?

Checked this morning about 7am pacific and it was in Oakland, CA with a scheduled delivery of Wednesday. Came home from brunch today at 1:15 to find it on my porch. I figure it didn't get scanned leaving Oakland last night. Surprised with Saturday delivery (mine was Fedex).

The fact that 64GB ram machines are now starting to ship gives me hope, but I’m certainly not hitting the early time frame of my current 7th-14th December shipping estimate as I’m still on the processing stage. ?

Ordered on 3th of November.
