Here's hoping. Of course as soon as I go back to work but I'll take it.
Yeah my scheduled delivery is Thursday which is the day after I'm off work for two days. I scheduled off until 8pm so worst case if it comes then I'll have some time with it, but hoping it comes early. Based on others tracking I've seen it it deliver 2 days after the anchorage scan, so Monday or Tuesday would be more accurate. Here's to hoping!
That's the path mine is taking exactly...Shanghai-Japan-Memphis-[NJ-NY] and now it is in Memphis as of 1am. Hopefully FedEx will ship it out today so it can be delivered in Monday because I doubt they deliver on Sundays. Does anyone know if FedEx transits on Sundays?
It will transit on Sunday, but will not deliver on Sunday. Special handling says deliver weekday. Monday for sure I would say for you.
 
Looks like I’m waiting until Monday

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wish I knew when mine was coming at all. Been over two weeks since I ordered (13th) and not so much as a charge to my card. Still says 1st - 8th.

Another Update;

Received notification from Fedex the shipment is on its way and that it's already been picked up !
Since we had pretty much the same order time/config — mine got shipped today, original estimate was Dec. 9–16, Apple changed to Dec. 8 when shipped, FedEx has scheduled delivery of Dec. 4. Seems like Apple’s really trying to push these out before the holiday.

Really don't understand the deliver weekday requirement. Like "make sure you deliver it when everyone's at work"?? With COVID I know a lot are home now but that special handling requirement is something they've been doing long before COVID. Oh well. You've seriously got 48 hours until your computer is in your hands!!

your tracking is yet another example of how fast it gets to the destination city after the anchorage scan. I'm in Charlotte NC so it'll go from Memphis direct to Charlotte. It should be in Charlotte by tomorrow night. REALLLLLYYYY hoping they deliver it on Monday instead of holding it until it's schedule.

Same here, mine says 2nd-9th, no charge on card yet. Hoping delivery is from US warehouse.
 
Looks like UPS is delivering regular ground packages weekend. I just got some Amazon orders that were due to be delivered on Monday, just now.

Right?? It’s managed to get so close to me so fast, but now it’s just gonna sit in a box for probably the same amount of time it took to get there, before it’s finally on a truck to my house.
 
Ordered a base M1 Air on the 26th November. Checked the status today and it is due for delivery on the 11th of December. My original confirmation Email said delivery 4th -11th December.
UK Order
 
My MBP arrived in the UK (where I live) from Germany yesterday, and today I see that it's gone back to Germany! Absolutely fuming as it's was shipped on the 17th and it won't be here tomorrowView attachment 1679702
Wie geht's?..from Utah. I think this is going on everywhere, and there is no quick resolution in place. In theory I've now had two UPS tracking numbers out for delivery. When they did not show up I called Apple, both times I was told they never shipped. While I despise expressing a concern or disappointment with How I Feel, it seems to me that Apple or the suppliers have decided deception is a better customer service option than honesty. I'd have been much more patient if they were just up front and said; "We are very sorry folks, but due to supply chain and travel restrictions, and the delivery burden on air travel and further on the ground with UPS, our deliveries are going to be delayed. We will notify you once the phones/laptops/mac mini's are in the US UPS system and have actual traceable numbers, and dates."
 
#ShanghaiGang Another shanghai gang member here. Ordered on 11/11, Shipped on 11/20 and has been stuck in Shanghai ever since. Estimated delivery date was originally 12/1. Not only am I without a computer atm, I also leave the country for a few months in a few weeks so this is truly a nightmare for me. Hopefully this resolves itself soon.

Guys, what do you think is going on with the #Shanghaigang orders? 2 weeks later?
I leave the country the 18th.... i hope it will not be to early.
 
Just an email out of the blue. Tried to chat with a specialist, got nowhere. Will try to call sometime today.

I also have two orders in the Apple Store app that refresh at different times and give me a conflicting status both between them and between the main page and detail.
Interesting. I got impatient and called Apple today rather than wait until Mon as suggested by UPS. I had to wait a long time to be connected but eventually got a very nice person who took down details and told me that Apple will open investigation with UPS right away. I should receive update from Apple within 48 hours and if UPS cannot resolve Apple will send replacement via another carrier. The Apple rep was surprised when I mentioned that UPS does not appear to have any planes currently flying out of Shanghai. And I went into some detail regarding all the other people with the same issue posting on Mac Rumors. In reply the Apple rep said that the problem might be wider than MacBooks since she received a call earlier today about an Apple Watch caught in similar limbo.
 
Maybe there is some hope for the shanghai gang.

I ordered on November 13 (estimated delivery date 30.11. - 4.12 to Germany) and received the first shipping notice from UPS on November 21.

Config is macbook air M1 16/512

As with the rest of the gang my UPS status is stuck since November 24 (in transit):

However, just today I called apple service and they told me, my macbook should be delivered on Monday, November 30 as - despite what the ups tracking page says - my macbook is already in Germany.
I have exactly the same UPS dates as you have. Same MacBook, also going to Germany.
Called apple today and they said they are aware that there’s been a delay but my package is already in Germany.
Apple.de says „wird demnächst geliefert“ and the App has 04.12. as delivery date.
Apple said it should be delivered on 04.12. the latest.
One more thing. Does your delivery date from UPS also say that there is none and you should check back later?

Sorry for everybody stuck in Shanghai. There’s gotta be a legit reason like COVID related or something. At least you know it’s there and there’s probably a good explanation. Maybe.

I’m looking at my timeline ordering on Nov 11, charged & shipped on Nov 26, and in about 24 hours it’s made it from Shanghai to Anchorage to Memphis to Chicago to Aurora... where it will then sit in a warehouse for at least 72 hours before getting on a truck to my house. In fact, FedEx’s tracking info says “Package not due for delivery” and “Deliver by Noon Tuesday Dec 1”! Does that mean it’ll sit in a warehouse for 96 hours after taking a nearby 24 hour journey halfway around the world? So frustrating because I’m here all day just waiting, Monday & Tuesday I’ll be working.

LOL... I placed an order for a MBA 16/512/8/8 sometime on the beginning of the week and was given Dec 30th day. I checked today and same specs if ordered today will arrive Dec 23rd.... cancelled the first order and placed again.

That is so weird that an earlier order would be delivered later than a “today” order. Manufacturing and shipping logistics must be running on a Windows machine :p

Truly, that does not make any sense to me. I should try to look at my order vs. an order today just for yucks. You are braver than I am canceling and reordering.

I doubt it. You have just put yourself in the back of the line again.

Wonder if they're just going to send you another one and reroute the original back. See which one gets free first. Dec 30 is the timing on a lot of configs right now
Quite possibly :-(

I just called Apple and they confirmed that the courier (UPS, I suppose?) had lost the package and had asked for a replacement to be shipped.

This is very disappointing because my original order was only a day after launch (November 12) and had an Apple delivery date of December 1, with UPS expecting arrival Nov 27. Now I get this:

For an order placed on NOV 12.

Now I have to explain to my daughter that her Christmas present is delayed...<sigh>

Yeah this seriously sucks and I'm hoping they don't do this to me. Don't want to wait until the scheduled date just cause "package not due for delivery". Hoping against hope for Monday.

My gut says that Shanghai Gang are all going to end up getting replacement shipments ☹️
I haven’t called UPS or Apple yet myself since you all already are, but maybe I will Monday or Tuesday.
