Just a quick (non-)update - the date remains 29th by the end of the day, but I doubt there will be any movement until later this week. Curious what the status will update to once “today” is over.
I think it is because of the below incident at Seoul on 27 October. Mine was also supposed to be delivered today. Now the status has changed to " The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible."

I don’t think so. From what I understand the delivery from China to DHL in NL is done by Syncreon. That corresponds to DHL tracking showing "ADI C/O SYNCREON" as the sender. I don't think Syncreon is using UPS flights.
Can't see that "Syncreon" references on any of my tracking pages, but thank you very much for the correction, if that's the case separate companies then, keep up the good info! :)

I think you are confusing months :)
The above incident happened a month ago and has (probably) nothing to do with any delays this time around

I get that when I try to track on Dutch DHL Parcel site: https://www.dhlparcel.nl/en/consumer/track-and-trace

Might not work for you since your destination is not in NL
It actually did, so thanks, I was even able to check my delivery address which appears to be ok, flat-door and intercom code included, but then is missing that data on the "Parcel Details" - "Receiver" one, same to you?

Anyway, page tells "Planning is being made" so nope, our computers are still in China or "en route"

Looks like we're in much the same position with UPS in Shanghai, together with Salvatore and others.

My UPS status was updated a couple of hours ago:
On the Way
Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.
Shanghai, China

If you read @bradl (05:56 today in the USA thread), you'll see the explanation of their way of working. This ties up with what @salvatore.p wrote (14:01 yesterday in this thread) about UPS flights to Köln.

I want to order on end of the month when I’m paid invoices but for Spain it’s telling one more month to wait.
 
Delivery window passed from 11/26 - 12/3 to 12/13 - 12/15 this morning but not PTS state for me tonight, when others users with same date and same config got shipped saturday...

I will contact Apple tomorrow
 
UPS changed my due date from 1st if Dec to 2nd of Dec. :/ just one day but still a bit worried it will push further.

Mine just moved out from Shanghai and reached Incheon and further on the way to Köln UPS has updated delivery date to 1 December.

Should reach koln in 8 hours.

Mine is still on Shanghai, unfortunately. Without any estimated delivery.
I hope it will move with the next flight.

I’m very disappointed, the parcel hasn’t been moved for 5 days.

This isn’t an issue now. My original BTO order was impacted and got stuck for a few days in china. It was sorted soon after and not an issue any more

Still no movement on my side, DHL shows same info as yesterday, no SMS/notification for a delivery and one more thing, Apple sent me the bill but the operation on CC is still just authorized, but not "final".

If this "non-update" situation continues for the next few hours, as promised, I will call them and try to gather more info, but I'm betting 10$ that all they will say me "everything it's ok, you'll get your package on the date we told you" so, should I bother? :D

edit: My dates on Apple "Orders" page jumped back to 7th to 15th Dec, yesterday it was "Arrives 9th Dec" ... makes me guess it's a similar situation that @enzolarosa experimented on 23th Nov, prior to getting SMS notification that same day on the evening, this wait is killing me

edit (2): Dates are back to "Arrives 9th Dec" - weirdo

Yeah I can relate...My "shipped" status was on 24 November and the package moved out from Shanghai on 30 November only.

No update here either. The Apple order still shows that it will be delivered on 6th. My charge was finalized but still didn’t receive any invoice yet.

edit: got the invoice

I contacted Apple, they say they can't do anything... (except for a commercial gesture once the MBP has arrived)

Reminder:
- Ordered: Oct 22 MBP 16" MAX/64/2TO
- First delivery window: Nov 26 / Dec 3
- Pushed yesterday to Dec 13 / Dec 15
- Still in processing

Others on this forum, with the same config / order date got their MBP expedited last saturday...

It's the worst experience since i order @ apple

That's sad, really sorry about your experience, let's see what "commercial gesture" they offer to you, free AppleCare+ for the laptop would be great, but knowing them, I expect to be a 50$ gift card at maximum, I really hope the best for your order and the wait ends ASAP.

We have the same config, but you ordered 2 days later, hence the later delivery.
Mine was collected in Shanghai, but has not moved since saturday…
No clue when it will arrive here.
 
Why does every package fly from Shanghai to Incheon and then to Europe, instead of going direct to Europe from Shanghai? I think there is enough packages in Shanghai to be worth it.

It does fly direct Shanghai to Liege if it comes via TNT (which is the case for Switzerland).

Ordered on Nov-10, initial delivery date was Dec-8 to 15, once it shipped UPS said it would be Nov 29. After customs clearance it got stuck and has been in Shanghai over the last three days. Apple status page now reads "Arrives soon" and does not provide a specific date anymore, anyone had this too?
 
Finally I got the charge on my bank.
They actually took the money so on my side I should be right.

They charged on 30/11, the expected delivery data that ups showed before the delay.
Actually my parcel is still on shanghai, I hope to see a move.
