Arrgghhhh. Mine is still in Shanghai with UPS. I have never gotten anything from Apple via FedEx, interesting you are getting it that way. There's been a lot of reports of UPS shipping issues with the new MBP's, and I wonder if Apple is using FedEx as an option now?
Just said preparing to ship. And date changed from 10 to 12.... it's coming boys!

I ordered a stock configuration with M1 Max, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD with delivery between Nov. 10-17. Shipped on the 10th via DHL. I've never had Apple ship anything with DHL but I'm thinking that may be due to ordering through our business site. Apple now says delivery on the 17th but no estimate on the DHL site. Late on the 10th DHL updated the info saying it has been given a release status by customs.
Ordered 10/18. 14" M1 Max, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB SSD. Early Apple prediction Nov 10-17. Shipped Sun 10/31 (Mon 11/1 China) and arrived Thu 11/4 via UPS worldwide.
Maybe the 4 TB chip configurations are different between 14" and 16"... There's a different number off SSD chip solder pads between the two sizes.
I wish Apple had used FedEx for mine. It sat for two days in Shanghai with no movement after clearing customs. Now it's just updated that it's on the way but they are "recalculating the delivery date." There's a reason I ship all of my international business orders FedEx; they're just more reliable in my experience.
Mine just got delivered (hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm gloating)! Just wanted to provide an update in case anyone was looking to compare their experience. Hope everyone else who's waiting gets theirs soon.
Mine cleared customs in Shanghai a couple of days ago but hasn't updated since. After it cleared it gave a delivery date of 11/11, which disappeared after midnight that day and now it gives no date. Several other people in the Reddit thread with customs cleared scans at the same time have theirs scanned in the US already. Anyone in the same boat?
Yep, me too. I bet you're UPS like me? Seems like there's been UPS issues in China, I've seen others report the same problem with them clearing customs and then just sitting for days with no updates. Pretty annoying, and I'm guessing its why some people have now been reporting FedEx and even DHL being used for shipping.
I'm still trying to understand the rationale for FedEx v. UPS. Mine (via FedEx) also started out in Shanghai, but was there for less than a day before heading over to Japan then to Memphis.
And here I am IN Pennsylvania and mine seems to still be stuck in limbo somewhere between here and Shanghai!
That's interesting. I thought this current batch of MBPs have all been shipped out of China. I didn't know of any that were being shipped within the US.
Mine got delivered yesterday. Went from Shanghai to my house in 2 days. FedEx. I'm glad because it said the 17th originally 
I'm still screwed with UPS. It's been sitting in Shanghai since the 10th with no updates.
Mine is estimated at Nov 30-Dec 7 so guess too early for mine to expect to be shipped yet. But it’s maxed out 16 “ except with 4 Tb ssd. But with the 4Tb comments I wonder if it will make the Nov30-Dec 7 estimated date. I figured it would ship maybe by Nov 23rd to Nov 30th but wondering now it may be later than I believe.
