I got an update this morning. A new scan for 12/01 at 7:54PM with the same message as previous scan. It does show the date being 12/03, instead of 11/23 (like before) for delivery, but still have exception and information unavailable.

From the UPS app, I don’t see any messages about Apple and didn’t receive any emails.
 
MBP 16GB/1TB
Destination: Poland

Ordered: 20/11
Original delivery window: 15-22 Dec
Card charged: 26/09 (the charge is still a pending one)
Preparing to ship: 30/11
Shipped: 01/12

Now it says it’s going to arrive on 10th. Given UPS not losing it, probably earlier.
Too bad I’m not going to be in Poland yet to play with it :D
I'm glad you're getting your mac early. I ordered the exact same configuration a week earlier (11/13), and still has not charged or shipped yet!
 
That’s what I’m piecing together from what I’m seeing online. They’re getting a charter/express flight for our packages but are waiting on the plane.
That is what it means. They shipped the launch day iPhones on air China this year and that is the message most received when their phones shipped.
 
The ones who received the email: what's your shipping date?
Mine shipped on 11/20 and I received the email around 7am EST. My UPS app changed from exception to in transit with a delivery of 12/7 at the same time of the email. Now however its back to exception but still with the 12/7 date.

I’m supposedly getting mine delivered today... usually I’d expect to see something like “out for delivery” or something by now but still says it’s at my local FedEx facility :mad:

Mine just got updated on apple's website. Although on UPS, it is still in transit and original scan was only a few hours ago. I ordered MBA on 11/17 by the way. Hopefully, this estimate is accurate.

I did not have such email, but still got the 12/7 date and now an exception with delayed scan, do you have such scan in 7:54 local time?

I don't have that message either, but I do have the delayed scan.
I don't have that message either. I did get an update on 12/1, 7:54pm, Shanghai, my package is delayed in transit.

My my choice estimated date was pushed back to 12/7 as well. How come even with all these flights to and from Shanghai now, ours weren't able to make it out? And what happened to "The Departed?"

Lot of them received the email saying there will be an Apple Charter flight.
But not all of them. Everyone here has the exception I believe.
 
I just spoke with Apple via chat, and they are claiming that i will receive it today or tomorrow. UPS web shows that the package is still in China. I do not what to think at this point...

Came all the way down to my local warehouse (Charlotte, NC) and has been sitting there since 8:45AM Monday. Delivery date is unchanged at 12/4 Friday. I guess they'll just hold on until the scheduled day of delivery. Damn..

Same. They’re obviously gonna process the due packages first, but I imagine we might get it a day or two early.
 
Ordered a 2020 M1 MBP 16GB/2TB on Nov 11, it finally arrived at my local FedEx facility (about 30 min drive) on Nov 27 at 7:50AM. The entire time it’s been listed as Scheduled Delivery on Dec 1 by Noon, and I’m still not seeing any update other than it’s still at my local facility. So maddening.

I finally find away to get into a more detailed view and can confirm my exception reason is waiting for Charter Aircraft.
Went to https://wwwapps.ups.com/mcdp will lead you to the old-tradional UPS My choice page, not the (s****y) new one that removed all useful information.

@captchas8 @jdcohnsf @mooshhie can you guys confirm?

Thanks for that link! I also see that the status is pending departure on Charter Aircraft. I wonder if we can find the charter flight number, and where do you think the charter flight will fly? Anchorage? Louisville?
 
My base m1 mini is out for delivery today! Ordered Nov 27, not expected in stock until Dec 7, actual delivery Dec 1. Glad I don’t need the extra ram or I’d be waiting a few more weeks.

It might not even be a UPS Flight, which will be harder to search.
China Cargo Airlines has multiple 747s on ground in PVG right now, it could be one of these.

Haha, that sucks. Guess I’ll just assume the 4th then.

#ShanghaiGang sigh...:/ this is the update I woke up to. I’m going to call apple today because my scheduled delivery date is today and apple hasn’t updated or emailed once about a delay.
