Same for me, Mechanical failure could be underlying many types of issues...we're entering unknown territory.
I have already sold and arranged to get my current macbook pro picked up next Monday, thinking the timing was safe and I would have all weekend to install my new mbp ready for work Monday :eek:.
 
Same UPS status for me too.
Wonder mechanical failure of what? Hope our goods aren’t damaged!
Delivery date is still 28th October though.
Also, CC got charged finally.

16'' 64GB/2TB, should arrive on the 29th in Switzerland via TNT, stuck in Shanghai for a good day, now in Belgium

Not too bad news I think. Mine seems to have been on the same flight yesterday (3v802) and has moved to Basel. Shipment is still shown as 29 but with a bit of luck it might go out for delivery today. It is still early.
And it wasn't stuck in Shanghai but it was on a long flight with a stopover in Novosibirsk!
 
I'm Spanish an mine is still processing. It's expected delivery date is between 26 Nov and 3 Dec. So I have to wait a month ?
 
I took a video of the blooming, because you really can see the dimming zones go on and off while moving the cursor around. I have to say this is with full brightness. Normally I wouldn't turn the brightness up like this in those conditions. If you use normal brightness it's bare noticeable.

People should be always aware that cameras don’t see like eyes/brain sees so online images are pointless. They need to be aware that any display under $5000 will have some bloom. There might even be moments when mini/micro leds and oleds show a random lit pixel for a few seconds. It’s rare but it happens on all the new display types. It’s not worth losing your mind on the internet over.
 
Last scan shows Shanghai she said. Expect updates on the 28th, when it’s supposedly will be delivered.
I had a call with UPS an hour ago, they also told me that the delivery remains unchanged for the 28th. Though if it doesn't leave Shanghai for Cologne by the end of the day, I don't see how that'd be possible. Basically, it has to be Shanghai -> Incheon -> Cologne or Shanghai -> Dubai -> Cologne.

I am in the same situation, same tracking updates. My delivery is scheduled the 29th for Luxembourg FWIW

I have been a couple of times one click away from buying same specs at local apple store but with ES layout instead of US one
 
My order has been at the same place since Monday - Shanghai. Apple moved delivery date from 28th to 2.10. This morning, got an invoice email from apple but the apple charge despaired from my CC:eek::eek:

Anyone else with the same situation ?

just called apple. Apparently everything is ok, they have my money :).

Also in their system the order was sent via DHL not UPS?. She gave me the tracking number- it’s showing the same- stuck in Shanghai

End of the day local Shanghai time or CET? Makes quite a difference.

I have a DHL reference, but it's not updated since Monday. DHL say it's not yet been collected (contrary to the only tracking update, and Apple have no additional info...
 
Still in processing since 20 October (order day). Do you think I should contact Apple or it's normal?

I'm not so worried about the blooming. My eyes are getting bad anyway and everything looks blurry all the time ? Still, even with glasses, I'm more worried about the rumours of ghosting. There's a couple of slow motion videos circulating that make it look really bad, particularly with white text on black. Some people don't seem to mind, others dislike it.
