Last 27 Nov I placed an order with Adorama for the $2,499 base model MBP 16" M1 Pro at the Black Friday price of $2,199. Not a bad price for a MBP that came out <6 weeks ago.

I hope they offer some compensation for the long wait of nearly 2 weeks.

This is being shipped to DE for $50 shipping to MNL.

By that time I hope $1.00 = <₱50.00 when it ships so I can sell my 24 month old 2019 MBP 16" Core i7 that I got for $2,150 at roughly the same price.

I got shipping notice yesterday for my order placed on 3th November on a BTO 16” Max 64GB ram 1TB. The T&T goes to DHL in Netherlands so I assume that is just the label for now and that my Mac won’t arrive in Europe until next week. It is supposed to be here on 16th of December.
Same situation.

Label created Dec 7, DHL. Destination Eastern Europe. Waiting for package in Eindhoven.

Should arrive Dec 14 according to Apple.

And now it has shipped by FedEx this morning. Delivers on Dec 13th.
Update: It has delivered today 12/9 via FedEx. Tracking info continued to say 12/13 even though it was marked “on truck for delivery” early this morning. No signature was required on delivery… really Apple?

I ordered same config on 10/23 and got mine today so perhaps you’ll be getting yours in about 9-10 days.

Hi All,

Thought I would join the fray! Ordered a Space Gray 16" Max with 32 Core GPU, 32 GB RAM, and the 1 TB (base "high" config) on 20 November. I was given a delivery date of Dec 8 - 15. As of today (10 Dec), it went to "Preparing to Ship" with a new delivery window of Dec 16 - 23.

From what I've read and my personal experience (preparing to ship last saturday, expected delivery next tuesday), it takes about 10-12 days from 'Preparing to ship' to delivery.

Finally got mines (16' Max 64gb 2tb) after pulling up on the DHL truck. Security was laughing at me, he said it looked like a robbery in progress. ???

Almost the same here - tracking info showed 12/14 for scheduled delivery, it was out for delivery this morning (with the scheduled delivery still showing 12/14). The only difference is that it updated to “Delivered” at 2pm, but nothing was delivered. The truck never drove by either. 2+ hours later - still no sign of the truck or package.

And yeah, no signature required. This is weird - Apple ALWAYS required signatures.

I reported it as missing through the app. Tried to call them but their automated system kept routing me to the tracking info where it says that the package is delivered and doesn’t give any options.

Hope it will show up.

Call Apple Immediately!!

I went to the local FedEx shipping center today to figure out what’s going on. Their system says it was “left at the back door” (it doesn’t say anything on the official tracking page). The thing is my back door is in my backyard and no one ever leaves packages there. Plus I have security cameras, so I’d see.

I showed them the security cam footage with no truck at the time of “delivery”. They took my phone number and said they would talk to the driver and let me know.

I’ll call Apple to see if they can push them from their side as well. There is still a chance that package will show up, otherwise even if Apple refunds the purchase, I won’t get my laptop until end of January as all custom orders are now shipping in 3-4 weeks.

That’s why I always choose store pickup option if it’s available. Unfortunately it wasn’t available when I ordered, and FedEx didn’t let me change the delivery method to “hold for pickup” either.

I hope the driver didn’t steal the package and whoever they delivered it to will not keep it for themselves, but the chances are not great :(

Update: that was actually a very good advice! I called Apple and they started investigation and will send me a replacement! Hopefully the replacement won’t get lost too.
There is still a chance FedEx will resolve and deliver. But notifying Apple is crucial at point of delivery. It protects you, and saves THEIR @ss if the computer vanished due to a FedEx snafu, theft, incompetence or negligence. Doesn’t matter how huge a company is; none can afford to just lose $4,000 at the snap of your fingers.

Same situation.

Label created Dec 7, DHL. Destination Eastern Europe. Waiting for package in Eindhoven.

Should arrive Dec 14 according to Apple.

Still nothing. I'm worried now. Stuck on label created since Dec 7. It should've arrived in Europe by now right?

*sigh* Calling Apple on Monday.

DHL status only updates when your device arrives physically at their hub. Big chance that your device is along in bulk with others. If they meet the ETA pretty sure you should receive an update tommorow or Tuesday!

Be patient my little padawan, those who have patience will be rewarded greatly.


Ps: Definitly call when you did not receive anything by Thursday 16th December.
