I also have a clearance delay and I called fedex and the lady told me that it has cleared and it would take 24 hrs for delivery. I then asked if 24 hrs if that meant tomorrow, 11/17 as scheduled and she said yes

Yeah mine said tomorrow too. Suddenly it's Monday and the tracking details said it went from Louisville back to China. I am assuming they redirected my machine to someone more deserving.

Like I said, my MacBook on world tour. Shanghai to Louisville and back to Shanghai again.
Me too!
 
Got my 15" base model delivered just a few minutes ago from DHL. Why did Apple ship it using DHL, I have no idea! But, to my surprise there were no issues. There tracking is terrible though. Didn't show an expected delivery date or anything.

Best part is that I just placed my order less than a week ago! Yep, last Thursday afternoon. I can't believe it came so quickly!

You know, europeans who ordered on the keynote's night have yet to receive it! And the one that ordered same as you will get it at best at the end of December! :mad:
 
Mine arrived this afternoon! Ordered immediately after the keynote ended on the 27th. After seeing some people complain about having to slide to change the volume or brightness, I have an observation. When the slide bar is open, you can tap the icons on either side of the slide bar to go up at the intervals like before. Others might have noticed it but I just haven't seen anyone else post about it so I thought I might share about it.
 
It actually arrived in Anchorage at 12:21! Delivery date now says tomorrow by end of day...I'll just be happy if it is here by Friday so that I can set it up over the weekend!

I'm on the same plane. Mine said delivery tomorrow by end of day. Now changed to Monday for no apparent reason. :(

Very annoyed since mine sat at customs in China for 3 days.

You can also keep the finger on the button on the always shown part of the controls and slide without moving to the slider...

I don't think they are actually cleared because mine also says clearance delay and it just missed the flight to Utah, which is where I am at

Mine still shows the clearance delay online, and the flights for the day are gone, but when I physically call FedEx and go through the telephone tracking system, it says "this package is on the way to the station that serves the delivery area". That sort of sounds like it's on the way to SLC, don't you think? I hope that's what they mean.

Ok, Just spoke with FedEx. Apparently my package cleared the customs delay at 7:59am this morning, yet the website still says it is on clearance delay. The representative said they were having issues with the external website tracking information not updating properly.

That's exactly when they said mine cleared! They didn't mention of the website issues, so I'm glad to read this update!
 
Having an odd issue with my order as of this morning.

1) when I go to access the order to view the status, I get a "The following order number does not belong to the provided account." Until today, accessing and viewing the "processing" status hasn't been an issue.

2) Coincidentally, or not, I receive an email from Apple for a $38 gift card. No reason or statement as to why they sent it to me or who purchased it.

Has anyone had this scenario with day 1 purchases and trying to check order status?
UPDATE:

Online Apple support could not answer issues one or two and raised it up their chain. I guess I will have to wait and see.
 
Like a jilted lover, UPS is now just toying with my heart: Promising me night of erotic love ("Your MacBook Pro has shipped!") then suddenly giving me the cold shoulder ("Your MBP is stuck in Shanghai for three days"), showing a glimmer of hope that we haven't really broken up ("Your MBP finally left Shanghai!") but uttered with a bitter passive-aggressiveness ("Delivery delayed until next Monday").

UPS: Our love/hate relationship is not healthy for either one of us! We need couples counseling.

And now UPS promises delivery tomorrow. I'm not sure whether to buy a dozen roses or burn all of the love letters UPS has sent me. I truly am the owner of a lonely heart... :cool:

Stock 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID. I am in love. Moving on from a 2010 13-inch MacBook white polycarbonate. It's been a wonderful journey with you all! See you on the other side!

I'm not trusting the date until it's at least departed Louisville. I'd be really shocked if it shows up tomorrow after all of this.

You might burn all of the love letters UPS has sent you when you receive an update that says delivery on Monday 11/21 again, that is what just happened to me.

I hope this is true, pretty much all we can do now is wait until the first flight lands and see if there is an update or wait until the second flight. :confused:

For those currently in Alaska like me, looks like UPS 81 departs for Louisville in about an hour, at 7:27 PM EST. Hopefully our packages aren't delayed again.
