2016 Macbook Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

Has anyone had any experience with apple granting someone the order to be put in front of the line for any out of the norm reason? If so have you seen your online estimated delivery date changed?

And one more thing, I bought two USB C to USB dongles and Apple refunded me with the entire amount.. not a $10 deduction from $19 to $9. This is minor but pleasing.

Edit: Apple also removed the authorization on my credit card. I believe they're making a real charge soon.

The next UPS81 flight doesn't leave China till 9:33PM (China time) on Monday. It won't arrive into Kentucky till 1:00AM on Tuesday the 15th of November. No one will be getting these earlier than the 15th in the USA. Unless Apple can actually fill a plane with these and gets UPS to add a flight but that is asking a bit much.

Bottom line, Nov 15th will be the very earliest day we will see these delivered in the US. Therefore I don't think we will get shipping notices till Sunday, when it will be Monday over in China. Maybe a small chance of notices tomorrow if UPS collects from Apple on a Sunday all the palettes to then take to the airport for Monday. But seeing that they have all day Monday to move the stuff to the airport I doubt we will see shipping tomorrow.

Kinda fun to look up the flights. Does it have to be a UPS81? I found a UPS77 leaving Shenzhen, China headed to Anchorage, departs Sun, 3:25 A.M. China time. See the attached pic, what do you think?

This Apple Online Store backend is a joke. Why can't I update my credit card to MasterCard Gold without getting a failure over and over when my bank insist that I'm good to go? And then the Danish Online Store Support is closed for the weekend. This mess will cost me 3 days of shipping at least. Not the end of the world, but I'm not impressed at the moment to be honest. :(:mad::(

If the initial payment failure was discovered by Apple Thursday, it would be rectified now. Or if the Danish Apple Online Store would work just a couple of hours on a Saturday it would also be rectified by now...
 
Got my shipment notification!

15" BTO 1TB/460/2.9

I wonder if it will actually get picked up today or over the weekend sometime? It says the shipping label was created, and it's waiting for UPS, but has anyone seen anything past this step yet?

EDIT: Spoke too soon! Updated!
Last Location: Shanghai, China, Saturday, 11/12/2016
Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 11/14/2016, By End of Day

Shanghai, China 11/12/2016 4:57 P.M. Origin Scan

Same here. Departure scan from Shanghai at 5:00 pm local time.
UPS My Choice says it will be delivered on Nov 14.
It seems like UPS is winning Apple at delivery estimates at the moment :D

Shadow82x we have the same Origin Scan time. Our MacBooks are probably on the same plane!

Credit card charged in full on Monday. But still stuck at processing while others are shipped. Wtf?

Can you guys (with a UPS reference) have a chat with CS to ask if UPS is correct or if Apple is correct? :D

Since it's now on the hands of UPS, not Apple. I would stand by UPS estimate. Apple isn't in charge of the shipping.

Although... unless Apple instructs UPS not to release until Nov 16 of course..

I'm pretty sure UPS is correct. Apple wants to be safe the delivery is on time and adds 2 days to guarantee the promise -theoretically there could be complications on UPS's side of things.

It's completely common to do so, especially for Apple. Underpromise und overdeliver.
I hope we will see shipments for -everyone- soon.
 
If some Americans get theirs Monday while mine sits at processing items I think I might cancel my order, because that's pathetic. Apple gave no indication of later deliveries outside the US.
 
For the people who have received your shipping notifications, what were your estimated delivery dates previous to being shipped?
 
If they knew they were going to prioritise US orders they could have at least been more honest with shipping estimates for the rest of us. I'd be less annoyed if I knew I had to wait longer from the beginning.
