I'm not the pro on figuring out the flights but plot twist...my Fedex delivery arrived in Anchorage, not Memphis as I expected!
View attachment 1686851
Also, my current delivery date on Fedex is 12/9 but I think it's going to arrive earlier than that. I just got an email from Fedex that "the estimated delivery time window of your package from TECH-COM COMPUTER / AI is no longer available." I got that same type of email for the MBA I already received and that meant it ended up moving earlier. I'm hoping it will move from Anchorage to my local area over the weekend and I'll get it on Mon 12/7 (original Apple quote of 12/11-18).
Most Pacific cargo flights come in through Anchorage. Anchorage is usually not too much of a hub for FedEx or UPS and they don't operate that many flights to local cities. Most likely, your package will go from Shanghai to Anchorage to Memphis to your City, like ours did with UPS: PVG > ANC > SDF (Louisville) > Dest

I think you are the first I have seen to have a MBA shipped from the US.
Yeah, I was kind of shocked. I really expected it to go through all the delays and rerouting BS everyone else's computers are going through. I know Apple has some kind of repair/refurb depot in Lebanon, so maybe a planeload of base models were shipped there for distribution across the U.S. But who knows.

This foils my plan of basing the movement of my other MBA to figure out when the second one will actually arrive :). The first one was Shanghai - Japan - Memphis - local area (NJ - NY)

Yay!!! joining some of you with the Louisville scan.
 
Did some looking on flighttracker. Next departure for the city closest to me (Lansing, MI) is at 4am. I may not get a scan till then. 😞
 
Nevermind, looks like it did make the flight out! Just a reporting lag after I checked after a while. I'm out of Louisville and on the home stretch! #ShanghaiGang #AnchorageGang #LouisvilleGang

Hi,

I live in Germany and I ordered a MBP 256/16GB about a week ago.

Both the Apple Store App & Apple Order Website tell me that my MBP has shipped. Strangely the website is telling me that my MBP will arrive on the 10th of Dec where the Apple Store App is still showing 14th - 21st Dec as an estimated arrival date. Which one is more accurate?

I checked the tracking status on the DHL website and the status hasn’t changed from "Shipment information received" (in EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS) since Wednesday. It also keeps telling me it would arrive "today" by 22:00. I assume they are talking about the arrival of my MBP in Eindhoven?

Does anyone know when this will change? I literally can’t find any DHL flight from Shanghai to Eindhoven either and I already tried to call Apple & DHL. (They are both not answering)

I would really appreciate any help!:)

Eindhoven is just an DHL office, flight go from Shanghai to Amsterdam. My package was on "Shipment information received" for 4 days, many people reported longer wait at this stage, up to 10 days. Once it arrives to Europe, your estimated delivery date will update. Your computer will most likely arrive someday next week.

My plane has landed in my city. Is there a way for me to go pick it up from an UPS facility tomorrow instead of waiting for a Monday delivery?
 
Is it normal to go from "International shipment release- Import Shanghai" at 2am December 5th to then two more "In transit Shanghai?"at 2:02am and 3:33am?
Yes, mine was a stuck #ShanghaiGang package but I was cleared the day I was shipped and then I had two in transit Shanghai updates within a few days after that. I highly recommend downloading the UPS app, it has much more detailed tracking info than the website.

The last date of my delivery window is Monday 12/7 and on that day I’m cancelling my 2 orders if not shipped.
Not that Apple or anyone else will care, but there’s better things to spend $3600 on.
So you don’t want the devices anymore that were worth $3600 to you just because they will be a few days late?
That is honestly bizarre. Especially given there probably are serious reasons for the delay considering the state the world is in.

Ohh, that makes sense! Thanks for telling me that, it’s my first online purchase from Apple, so I didn’t really know the route between Germany and China. I’ll try to be patient then. 😁
 
So we haven't gotten updates from all of #AnchorageGang yet (@slackcrow, @ariellee, @sobenz, Unregistered), as well as an update from @xibabla on whether he made it to Europe (given Hummingbird and Eike001 have).

However, looking at the trends on the spreadsheet, for people who have updated their status or confirmed that their status has not changed, it looks like #ShanghaiGang which shipped on 11/20 to the US got their packages scanned in Louisville (Gnattu, me, mooshhie, rtsaws, neworbit99, Daytona 360) but those that shipped on 11/21 haven't had that happen yet (GHalstead, jdcohnsf, Kalae, ElBerserko).
Here’s my update. I leave the country on the 10th. I’m actually hopeful now that it’s coming before I leave!

It's official - arrival scan in my city! 🎉🎉🎉

Now the long wait while my package sits at the airport just miles away from me the entire weekend. I waited a long time with you guys in Shanghai and was somehow able to be patient but at least that's on the other side of the world.

#ShanghaiGangIsHome

Hopefully nothing messes up now - I'll say it's done once the laptop is in my hands.
