2016 Macbook Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

Mine is stuck on processing here in Ireland with an estimated delivery of December 15th. I held out for a new MacBook Pro for college but it's looking like semester 2 at this stage since class finishes on the 11th. Looks like there's two more assignments gonna be typed up on my washed up Dell

And yet they manage it for iPhones, which they sell, what, ten times more volume of?

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?

You just don't get it . . .

But please, continue to hammer Apple; maybe even cancel your orders! I'm sure you can get a quality machine from the leading British computer manufacturer.
 
My 13" MBP arrived in my town early this morning. The UPS facility opens in an hour. It's getting close, y'all!!

I think you don't seem to get the concept of first come first served. Also, since when does EU = Only Britain?
 
FWIW, still no movement on my pre-order from Best Buy which was "guaranteed" for delivery tomorrow. Still hope, but its dwindling...
 
I need one of the detective's help! Where do I see upcoming FedEx flights? My package just landed in Memphis about 2 hours ago, where is it going now? Im in Utah

Thanks!

Well my wife's and my MacBooks are going to be delivered today after all. One is on the truck for delivery and the other is lagging behind by about 30 minutes. What is funny is our order was placed as just one order. She ordered through the education store because she works for a school district and they are identical machines. Literally all we did was configure one MacBook and change the quantity to two. A

nd what is funny about it is that all the way from China yesterday they were on different flights. One was on flight UPS81 and the other UPS105 all the way to Louisville. In Louisville they got on the same flight UPS606 to Chicago O'Hare but when they got to Chicago they got split up again. I'm expecting to see the second one have an out for delivery scan within the next 20 minutes or so.

Any UPS-pattern knowledgeable people re: Louisville to Austin (or close enough in Texas)?

Question:
If my MacBook Pro arrives in Louisville at 1:00am Wednesday, 11/16,
how likely is it that I could receive it:

1) in Austin anytime on Wednesday 11/16?
2) in Austin anytime on Thursday 11/17?

It's currently scheduled for Friday 11/18.

Very likely Wed since it could go thru the Wed am sort and then off to AUS. Everyone needs to understand that it depends what service your package is being shipped, the routing it is programmed for, and scheduled delivery date. You may get it early but I have also seen packages sit in Shanghai or Louisville (or Memphis) until it's time for it to move to meet the delivery date it is programmed for via it's assigned routing.

Again mattburley7 we are in the same situation. Mine arrived this morning at the local facility, it still shows tomorrow, but I am wondering if they will just bring it out today.
