My package (ordered on Nov. 20, Shipping to Toronto) was the similar case. It took 2-3 BDs to see the package finally departed from Shanghai. Good luck.
Could you please post a screenshot of your tracking? Thanks!

MBA Gold (M1/16 GB RAM/256 GB SSD/8-core CPU/7-core GPU)

Order placed: Nov. 20
Delivery estimate: Dec. 15 (UPS, updated Dec. 11) / Dec. 24 - Jan. 1 (Apple)
Shipped: Dec. 4

Status as of Dec. 11: UPS - "Arrived at Facility" - Louisville, KY, US

Delivery location: Toronto, Canada


Finally made it to the hub!
Also, the estimate was changed from Dec. 16 to Dec. 15 (no complaint, of course). Let's see.

Oddly enough my Iphone pro Max email stated it was shipped on Dec 10. UPS yesterday shows a label was created in Canada and that UPS was waiting to receive the parcel. Later that evening it show's shipped from Caledon, ON, Canada. My tracking doesn't show a China or US stops. UPS also shows I will receive it next week instead of Apple's Dec 22. My MBP which was ordered first by 2-3 days hasn’t left the processing stage

Is anyone else seeing their shipping date slip? Kinda of torqued that they did not communicate this better.

MBA M1 16/1TB Ordered November 18th, Delivery between Dec 4 - Dec 11.

Update: Arrives Jan 13 - Jan 20

Just got notified that my MBP SG 16GB/1TB has been shipped via UPS from Shanghai, but it says "Package is delayed in transit" (after I ordered on November 21), and the original delivery window estimate of December 9 - 16 has slipped to an estimate delivery date of December 21.

Just curious. Which country is likely to get the fastest delivery of custom built configurations?

In India they gave me an estimate of one month.

P.S. I mean the standard estimation that shows on apple website while placing order, in general, assuming items are in stock.

My MacMini ordered 11/30 (16 GB & 512 GB) with erratic tracking data from UPS; now showing delivery today!

30 minutes later:
Rescheduled Date: "Wednesday, 12/16/2020
"Exception Reason: Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery.
"Exception Resolution: Delivery will be delayed by one business day."

UPS Delivered this morning, although there was no "Out for delivery" scan so it was lucky I saw him show up. UPS was showing as delivery by end of day Monday until it actually got here.

Clearly it depends on when you ordered versus where you ordered from.

I ordered exactly on black friday i.e 27th November 2020 from US, it gave me a month estimate to get (MBP 16/512) delivered. I am still at the processing stage. A lot of time goes in processing your order than shipping unless it gets delayed in transit. Also, it depends on whether the product is in stock the moment you buy.

I have seen here in this thread, that most of them who ordered same model of MBP from USA, later around 1st of Dec, have got it shipped already. So it totally depends on the date you ordered versus the country.

Same for me, also Germany and also MBP1/16 SG.
It just went to shipped over night, but yet DHL Express does not show any data for this tracking number:/
How long did you stuck in 'Preparing to Ship' and did it come via Prague?

It's day 3 since my status moved to prepare and honestly I expected it would change at least within 48h.
It 8:17 pm and still didn't get any shipping information, so it probably will be Monday or Tuesday before it'll be shipped

Seems you misunderstood my question. M1 macs are in stock but backordered for custom configurations everywhere I could find. Fact that you get the estimate based on when you place the order is implicit and hence needless to say. I was asking in which country the estimate delivery time is the shortest, USUALLY.

For e.g. Same configuration gives 2 week estimate in USA, 2-3 Week estimate in Denmark, 4 weeks estimate in India etc.

My Mini has been in Chek Lap Hok, Hong Kong for over 24hrs now with no movement on the tracking. Is this normal? Estimated delivery on UPS tracking is 12/16, but on the Apple site it says 12/18 Coming to the USA.

I think it was stuck about 4 days in preparing to ship, then it went to Prague, now to Brno.
It still says, delivery on Monday... keeping fingers crossed?

We’re on the same boat.

Ordered: November 27th
Shipped: December 8th
Scheduled: December 18th

Stuck in Shanghai since December 8th 22:25.

My tracking "updated" to the same status but renewed today. At least there is some activity, I think it will get unblocked soon based on what I've read in this thread.

I am in India and I purchased Mac mini M1 8 Core CPU_ 8 Core GPU + 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, comes in Dec 4 -11 2020.

Order processing
I got mine about three weeks ago to replace my 2011 Mini....had all kinds of problems...sent it back to apple for replacement...got the new one Thursday and have not opened it. I had a backup Porsche Design HD and none of my browser user and passwords made the move to the new Mac Mini. The Geeks at Facebook...will NOT let you use another browser to log in...they demand a jpeg of the Drivers License and then............nothing. I found the replacement for iTunes of 10.13.6 overly slow to move music to my iPhone and the sych is slow at best....many of my apps like BEAN do not work with Big Sur....I am using my 2011 Mini to write this and I am strongly considering sending back the new one for a refund....the New Mini, I sent back...refused to copy a 40mb, mp4 file to a thumb drive.....after 8 hours, I gave up......Many who post here feel like Trump supporters...in denial about any new Apple product....problems....After two weeks of sitting unplugged my old mac mini is working just fine.

Same for me, at 1:22AM CST.

My guess is they will board the morning outbound flight at around 7:25AM CST if the previous data points in this thread proves right. However, it’s Saturday in China and I don’t remember seeing a status showing a flight on Saturday.
