UPS105 arrival scan in Anchorage, AK at 12:50 PM local time.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Australians order plenty of Macs. It would cost Apple a WHOLE LOT MORE to individually ship a few MacBook Pros rather than all together like they do for the US. Also, because of the Aus/US Free Trade Agreement, there are no 'hoops' to go through to get these items into Australia. The only thing they need to have is a Customs Declaration. All taxes and duties have been charged and paid for.
*States shipping a large volume of product is challenging*
*Recommends buying more to resolve issue*
Good news, I'm still stuck on PFS for a Brisbane BTO Delivery.
My last two MBP were delivered from China by TNT
At least until we get to Louisville. Then many of us will part ways.
So mine (I believe) is with UPS 81 in Anchorage right now. It will arrive to Louisville later tonight. However, my location is Vancouver, Canada...Anyone know how to track it from Louisville? I mean, it should be delivered by Wednesday and that's totally fine cause it's earlier than what Apple estimated. But I just want to know how the process takes over after Louisville.
And yet they manage it for iPhones, which they sell, what, ten times more volume of?
My 15" is in the same situation as yours. I was hoping it would be on the plane that just recently departed for Memphis, but there isn't any indication of that. Hopefully, something more concrete tonight!

I'm curious as well, I'm in CA and am quite amazed it can go from China to Alaska to KY to CA in 3 days
May I join in?
I'm on this flight as well, another 1/2 hour or so before heading for KY.
It feels like we are all on a layover together.May I join in?
you make it sound as if Apple only sends out shipments once pallets are full. As another user mentioned earlier, EU in some case could be easier than the US to import as they don't need to deal with separate state regulations as everything is managed by the single market rules. Plus, Apple has been shipping to the EU for ages, the OP of the quote seems to be from Aus and I can't speak for Aus but I imagine it's pretty much the same story.
Logistics company will try to fulfil the orders anyhow they can to meet the demands of the clients, the only way it would be a logistics issue is if the deliveries were delayed after orders went to P4S or Shipped. At this point they are still being processed which implies the ball is still on Apple's court.
To further drill on regulatory matters, it's not like the FCC where you need to get all devices pre-tested, for imports all you would have to do is meet import regulations which Apple has been doing for years, so I can't imagine a laptop with a new touchbar would make that much of a difference.
The whole point of the pre-order process is to put orders in a prioritised line where the principle of first-come-first-served applies. RE: critical mass, since when do we need to hit a critical mass to add couple of new laptops on pallets that are going to other regions anyways?!
The whole point is, Apple is unfairly favouring the US without a proper explanation to the rest of the world as to why it's doing so. It's like going to a restaurant, you were waiting at one till to be seated and you're waiting for an hour, I decide to come later, line up behind a longer line for a different server, and the restaurant decides to only seat people from my line. Yes you will get your food at some point but how would you feel if someone that came after you got served first?
Its a 15inch stock. Which btw i got on edu price! Which i will then claim gst on when i go overseas. Bringing a total of about 500-600 dollars discount. Yass!!
Ordered on October 31st. Still "Processing" and no charge. Judging by what others are experiencing, I would assume some movement after thanksgiving.
So when does it look like the 13 in will arrive? My in store pickup says the 17th now (up from the 25th a week ago) but I expect it to get there at the same time as everyone else.
