Anyone else whose MBP is stuck in Memphis shipped by FedEx?

Mine arrived in Memphis, TN on Nov. 13th. And it's been a week, it's still there, no update.

Apple says Arrives Tue Nov 23, I am sure it's going to be delayed.

And I read this thread FedEx Lost My New 14" MacBook Pro. What happens to Memphis FedEx Hub?

Strange that it has been there that long, but it can get anywhere in the U.S. from the Memphis hub overnight, so you still might not be delayed.

This is the same issue with RTX 3080 release from Nvidia last year. They all get stuck there for a while and there was a tons of reddit post and discord chat about it.

The thing with Fedex and Apple is - Fedex will store items for your specified delivery date.
The reason is because they plan their volume as much as possible and won't deliver it early just because it's there, they'd rather some other package that might not be as early take take the space.
Especially during covid, planes and trucks are limited, so they are more often abiding by the estimated delivery date instead of getting everything through asap.

I hope this is the case.

You got nothing to lose in money wise, Apple can see if that item shipped or not. Otherwise, they will offer a refund or reship again. Just time.

Time is money, my friend. And the money I paid to Apple has interests. When I am losing time, I am losing money.

My wife's watch (S7) was stuck in TN for a week before it started moving again. Something about that clearance process there....
