Hello guys

Can someone enlighten me about a specific detail please.

So when you order goes from processing to preparing to be shipped or shipped itself, do you receive a mail notification or sms notification from apple or ups or you just find it on the website like usual through new info or a link to track your shippement?

Thank you

When your order ships you’ll get an email from Apple with a link to tracking.
 
Let's hope they've worked out those issues. I say this because another member here also received their shipment from Mount Hope and it was out for delivery to him today even though it only arrived in Mount Hope this morning. The tracking on UPS is now showing me delivery by end of day tomorrow (May 21st) while earlier this morning it didn't say anything about date/time of delivery. I'm hoping this is a good sign!

My shipment is now showing delivery by end of day tomorrow as well (May 21st) on the UPS website, it certainly didn't show that earlier today. Still no movement past Louisville though.
 
Good Idea. I am monitoring Best Buy website also. This is my config:

MBP 13 10th Generation
i5/16GB/512GB Space Gray
Order date: May 11
Estimated delivery: May 28 - June 4
Current Status: Processing
Country: US - IL
Ordered through Apple Partner Employee Purchase Program

It is still under processing.. I will wait one more day and cancel this. Best Buy says it will ship by 5/27 ..

I finally got some good news. I chatted with Apple Support again and they upgraded my Shipping to Express Delivery. Once they did that, I can see auth on my CC and the status went to "Preparing to Ship" !!!

The agent confirmed that it is shipping from US and not from China...

My order is still sitting in Osaka and Apple is still saying it’ll be delivered by tomorrow at 9pm (UPS says Friday by 9pm). At this point, I’m not even sure how it gets from Osaka to North Carolina by Friday evening unless it comes straight to the region, but maybe I don’t understand geography!

Don't forget those things called planes, lol! If it clears customs in Japan tonight and doesn't stopover for a day at another foreign destination, then there is hope still. Once in the US (hopefully at least to Anchorage), UPS can move packages from one end of the country to the other and to your doorstep in a day so long as the proper shipping has been paid for.

Moreover, don't forget, Osaka is a day ahead of us. If the shipment leaves during the afternoon Osaka time, it will arrive in Anchorage early morning local time. Now we're in the US, but at least another 7 hour flight from Anchorage to Louisville, but that's okay because we are still gaining time. Shipment reaches Louisville by the afternoon of tomorrow. That's time to clear customs at the main hub, get distributed and make the overnight travel to our local distributions centers during the sleeping hours of Friday morning. Enough time to get on a truck and we'll have an Out for Delivery Scan between 7:00 and 10:00 am local time Friday morning with Scheduled Delivery by 9pm (my UPS driver will arrive by 2-3pm at the latest). We'll enjoy our new 13" MBPs in time for the long Memorial Day weekend!

So let's lean back, have a good night's rest, then check our statuses in the morning when we wake up. I'll worry if our packages don't have a Departure scan or some indication of movement out of Japan because that would be critical.

I just got a departure scan from Louisville. Guessing it's on a truck going up through Ohio like the other member posted since there was no flight at this time.

Looks like we have movement and is on its way. Still keeping my fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow!

I should be grateful mine's coming FedEx. I hate UPS.
Got mine yesterday, a day earlier than FedEx was saying it was going to be delivered and a week before Apple was saying it was going to be delivered. Shanghai to Anchorage to Memphis to San Diego. W00t!

Spent last night moving my stuff over and re-installing software, decided not to do a migration.

I wish mine shipped FedEx. I loathe UPS. Even before COVID they were unreliable.
I was expecting my MacBook yesterday. They never delivered. Estimated delivery date is still...yesterday. Apple shows it's "out for delivery" but UPS is stuck on "destination scan" from Monday afternoon.

Doesn't look like it'll come today either but maybe he just hasn't hit my area yet.
If it doesn't come tomorrow then I am guessing I probably won't be receiving it and I should contact Apple. Fantastic.
 
UPS guy just came by and delivered a UPS Standard package from Nordstrom that shipped yesterday.

Meanwhile, a UPS Express package from Apple that they estimated should arrive yesterday....no delivery yet again.

Fantastic!

so glad our mbps are on the same shipment - you seem to have your finger on the pulse of how all this stuff works, meanwhile here I am forgetting how fast planes are 😅

Mine has been in Osaka for a while now too. Supposedly going to be delivered to California by end of day Friday, so we’ll see.
 
Just another data point, i7 10th gen/32/4TB SSD SG ordered on launch day delivered yesterday via Fedex. Haven't had the chance to open it up and play with it yet as I have been working; hopefully Friday! In US (Northeast).

Nice. Mine with that config should get delivered tomorrow by 2100. We’ll see!
 
Ordered May 9th, shipped out yesterday from Rialto and today only spent around 6 hours in Louisville before departing! Tomorrow delivery doesn't sound so impossible right now.
 
The timestamp on my departure time from Louisville just changed. Showing 18:00 now, was showing 15:29 previously.

I assume it's because mine was a business delivery. I had it shipped to work where there was someone to sign for it. Had to pick standard delivery, though.

I'm with you, I don't like UPS at all.
