Mine was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but FedEx is coming a day early as they just emailed me that it is on the truck for delivery. Today was the first day of my original arrival estimate from Apple.
 
i'm in the same boat!

Me too, although I've only just got my tracking but my shipment started in The Netherlands, so maybe I'll get it before 29th December if they're all bunching up in the Netherlands before they ship to Southampton?

It's unlikely that that's what they're doing right now. I'm sure that they they process the shipments as soon as possible after they received them..

Maybe i'll get mine a few days earlier than my estimated delivery date haha

Yeah, it's just weird that mine only just says shipped now when it's in the Netherlands when I presume it came from Shanghai?
I hope it doesn't stay in Netherlands too long but if you guys are waiting a few days for yours to go then I guess I will too :/ I wonder why it's held in the Netherlands for so long?

What makes you think that your's is in Netherlands? When your order status changed to Shipped, your Mac was still in Shanghai.

Your tracking number starting in Netherlands doesn't mean its in the Netherlands. The shipping info was received in the Netherlands, but it starts in China. Has to be shipped to the Netherlands. It's not officially in the Netherlands until you see Processed at Amsterdam.

Mine was listed as shipped on Saturday, but I called Apple just now and apparently it's still in China..
Do you have a tracking number yet? I was told by Apple I wouldn't get mine until Monday, but FedEx delivered Saturday.
 
for iPhone it is always ups... fedex for the laptop. it says it won't arrive until tuesday but its at the destination sort facility in los angeles. does holding it at a fedex location delay it at all or can i pick it up same day like with ups.

Usually, you would be able to pick it up at a FedEx location on the same day, but only if you designated FedEx Pick-Up before the day it's supposed to be delivered.

mine says arrival tuesday but its already in Los Angeles do you think it will be out tomorrow from fedex? should i have it be held at fedex?

It would be ready on the same day since FedEx would still need to sort your package.
 
Well, mine went on a plane from Shanghai to Memphis via Fedex on Saturday/Sunday. Just got word this morning it's on the truck for delivery today here in Dallas/Fort Worth. That's two days early. Sweet. Sure hope there aren't issues with it like some have had, but usually machines with problems are a tiny minority. Note: It just shipped Friday. Seems fast.

I do have the tracking number, and now it says it's going to be delivered tomorrow! Clearly Apple had no damn idea what they were talking about when I was on the phone with them.

Wow that's really fast, and yours was dispatched on Friday?
Happy for you, I hope it actually comes tomorrow, that's great news!
 
Mine has updated. Estimated delivery now says tomorrow!

Estimated Delivery Tuesday, December 20, 2016 By End of Day

Mine too been there since saturday. Maybe too much snow?
My other laptop is in S. Korea and has no movement. Hoping something happens today. Supposed to be here Wednesday and the other Thursday.. go figure.

Are you with UPS too? There were multiple flights going out of Anchorage so I don't think snow is the problem here.
 
Mine's still on 'shipment dispatched'. How long does it take before I get an actual tracking number? It's been almost 48 hours. I wonder if it's linked to the fact that my order has some accessories?
