Anyone see any movement on their MBP 16" order with estimated delivery November 10-17? I haven't seen anything yet with my order.
 
I was wondering the same. Is your order a CTO? It seems like stock configurations have been shipping and sometimes early, but I wonder if the CTO's are being held up. I ordered a 16" loaded with everything except a 4TB SSD vs. 8TB, and my order was in minutes after the store reopened (and would have been faster but the store kept crashing/failing to load at the payment screen).
 
Yeah, I got BTO and it is arriving later than others i see on this forums. Stock is shipping the fastest.

I think I ordered a similar configuration maxed out 16" except for the hard drive, 4 TB (I didn't have any trouble though with the payment screen). Still haven't heard anything.

So you and I are waiting on the exact same configuration then! Hopefully it will ship soon, I am twiddling my thumbs waiting.

Anyone hear anything? I haven't heard anything. I think it's probably safe to assume that it will not arrive on the early end of the estimated shipping date.
 
No movement on mine. There's no way it will make the early end of the date range, and I'm starting to think it might not make the long end, because it seems to be a week from when they charge you and prepare to ship until people get them. Still no charge showing up for me.....
 
I have a BTO 16" M1 Max (64GB Ram/2TB SSD) that had an original delivery date of Nov. 17-24, then it finally shipped and it was updated to Nov. 17th. Checked again this morning, and it now says it's out in a suburb of my city and will be delivered on Friday, Nov. 12th!

Hoping for even more bump ups, but if not, Friday can't get here soon enough!

It would appear that the delay for @andrewj and I is the 4TB SSD.
 
Similar situation - BTO 16" 4TB/64GB with arrival date Nov 10-17, still no charge or movement. Still processing.

It seems pretty clear that the 4TB drive is the issue. Oh well. Nice Magnolia Warbler!

If I had known that the 4 TB drive was going to delay things (assuming that this is the case), I should have gotten the 8 TB drive!
 
I ordered mine BTO configuration on October 19th. The initial delivery date was Nov. 16-23.
The MBP was picked in China on Nov. 3rd, and was delivered (in Europe) yesterday, Nov. 8th.

But what was the configuration? 4TB SSD?
 
Well maybe Apple is reading this thread? My order just updated to "Preparing to Ship" and the date now moved to November 12-19 for delivery. Fingers crossed it's the 12th so I don't have to wait over the weekend!

Wow, same here, mine has also been updated to "preparing to ship" too with same estimate of Nov 12-19 (delayed from Nov 10-17)!
 
Hope you get it soon! I'm holding out to score one locally and have been checking the stores daily but so far no luck.
 
Received notification a few hours ago that it shipped by Fedex! Apple has an estimate of November 19, but "no scheduled delivery date" yet on Fedex. Interestingly, the Fedex website also shows "Future delivery requested" under tracking history (don't know the significance of that).
 
Mine has shipped, UPS, estimated delivery is the 19th, but in the past it's only taken 3-4 days once its shown as shipped, so I really hope it will be this Friday! Then again UPS just updated it to show a Monday estimated delivery. This could be a long weekend. :rolleyes:
 
That's interesting that yours shipped by UPS and mine is by Fedex. I wonder why one v. the other or maybe this is random?
