My, 15 inch TBMBP CTO, has been stuck on (for delivery to Sweden) "Shipment information received" since the 17th. Ordered January 1. It is supposed to be delivered today the 24th. I called Apple and they assured me it will arrive today. Does not seem likely. Strange.
Got a tip for us?

FINALLY! I finally have my new MBP. Every possible delay that could have hit me, did hit me, but after over two months, my max spec 15" is finally in my hands. Just to make sure I had to wait a little bit more, UPS took until 6pm to deliver it to my door.
I hated the keyboard in the store, but now that it's actually in my lap and I'm typing on it, I'm getting used to it quickly and it's not as awful as I first thought. I'm still not sure if it's the right keyboard for me because I have repetitive strain issues, but it's pretty easy to type on so far. If the keyboard doesn't cause hand pain, it'll instantly become my new favorite laptop keyboard.
I'm especially happy with the 5K Ultrafine monitor. It's no work of art, but I honestly don't even notice the bezels that everyone's been making fun of. Once it's on, you don't notice anything but the screen anyway. I have it mounted on a monitor arm so the ugliest part of it (the base), is not an issue.
Oh boy, it's gonna be a long night of transferring files and getting all of my developer environments setup as I want them. Once I have all my stuff moved over, I think I'll finally exhale and be happy about spending this much money.

I want to hear more about that later, Bonaqua!
My shipping date just went to 5-7 days (ordered 19th) from 3-5 days. The delivery (Norway) date hasn't changed thou! Starting to get pissed! I want to hear more about that later, Bonaqua!
Well... I talked to DHL and they say they haven't even received the computer from Apple. So no delivery today.
I talked to Apple and they have no idea where it is and told me they hope it at least arrives within the initial delivery window which is up to the 31st of January. And the rep I talked to said they could not inquire further into it because they are not allowed to establish investigations until after the delivery window has passed. Pretty, pretty, pretty strange. This is definitely a first. Apple has always been pretty much flawless in their estimates when it comes to shipping and delivery in my experience.
Im in the same situation. Ordered jan 2d, shipped 17th and estimated arrival is 24th. Did you receive a text from dhl yet? (I live in Sweden aswell.)
Well, hello there comrade. Yes, I received the text -- about picking it up at a local service location or having it delivered to my door -- from DHL on the 17th when it allegedly shipped. I don't really have a problem with waiting a few more days -- it's just the uncertainty and lack of transparency on Apple's part strikes me as strange. Hopefully our packages miraculously show up today, however unlikely.
my battery (after indexing and downloading 1000's of emails and attachments to outlook) has been better than my mid 2014
Just got a notification saying that my package might be delayed. I agree with transparency regarding shipping, it was way better back when they used UPS.
Totally agree, I think when I ordered the original one it was a bit of sticker shock and an extra $400 for 512GB is really steep. Anyway at the end of the day it will help the resale value so I caved
good news is it just shipped, should have it next week..
I had 1TB on my mid-2013 MBA and never dealt with space issues. I deal with some pretty big files, and on my first MBA dealt with a lot of space shuffling. Just not dealing with cleaning up the machine regularly made it much nicer to use. I also took resale value into account with the 1TB choice this time around. That said, it is really hard to justify the pricing. I figure it is worth about $150-200 more, and so it is only $200 more than I wanted to spend on it.
and so it is only $200 more than I wanted to spend on it.
that is an excellent way to look at it, stings but doesn't hurt as much
I got the same notification as well. The current status is that the package is being prepared to be overturned to the final carrier. Well, I don't mind them changing to DHL for all final European deliveries -- because they have been pretty much flawless, while UPS has failed to deliver on time etc 5 in 10 times. Hopefully Apple will improve their routines when this transition is smoothened out.
My package got delivered to amsterdam at 18:07 and tomorrow is the estimated date for arrival. Hows it going with yours?
Oh I forgot to check tracking at DHL. Mine was delivered to Amsterdam at 18:08 -- with an expected delivery by the end of the day tomorrow. Good news indeed.
Finally!! New status as of last night: "preparing for shipment."
But still the same deliverydate thou (7th - 9th feb) Was hoping apple maybe could push it a couple days earlier.

Sorry to hear that digitalm3 Really unlucky!
Nothing to brag about here either. Since I ordered a usb cable as well with the pro, the whole order will now merge in transit since the mac is sent from one location and the cable from another. I can't even trace it, I can just see that it's sent...FML!

Anyone have any delivery stories with FedEx?
My computer has a delivery date of January 31st, but it's currently sitting at the FedEx hub/warehouse 20 minutes away from my house. I called FedEx support, and the agent over the phone immediately said "we do not deliver packages earlier than the commitment date".
I guess my laptop will just be at FedEx's warehouse for the next 4 days? Doesn't really make too much sense to me.

i’m in the exact the same position here! ordered a 15" and a usb-c adapter. shipped on jan 24. with an est. delivery of feb 6. … since i’m leaving for vacation on the 5th i’m still hoping it may be arriving earlier. (tried to get express shipping, no chance according to apple.)
Sorry to hear that digitalm3
Unfortunately my delivery date slipped another day last night so looking like Wednesday now. It is in Japan now, so hopefully the delays are behind me and hoping yours hasn't experienced the same fate
UGG sorry man, I will remind myself to put in separate orders if i'm ever in your situation, thats very messy
Ordered my SG 2.7, 512, 460 on 10.1. from a reseller in my country. They said that the order cannot be tracked because it has to go through an intermediary first so I'm hoping it will arrive this week. It su*** not having an official Apple store in your country when the shipping times are around 1-2 weeks for a CTO model.
