That's great news, trust me. My total waiting since "PTS" to "Shipped" were 2 days, then 4 to arrive to NL and 1 to get it home (Barcelona), so the Macbook is possibly just one-week-ish away from you.
This is very strange, mine was shipped through DHL and we did not receive updates since the label was created till it really arrives to Europe, but this behaviour was expected, I also frightened past wednesday, when two of my "flight mates" received the SMS 1h30m prior than myself that their Macs arrived but mine didn't. After 1h of waiting and not getting it, I called Apple and told them to please contact DHL to get more details about my package cause I was afraid it's been lost, no further info was given, tracking was stuck on "Label created" for both and all Apple told me "please be patient, your package will arrive within the ETA", literally when I hang up, the SMS arrives and to be delivered 1 week before their estimate.
Yeah, my cloth also went to "Processing" but the CC hasn't been charged yet, and if one thing this waiting game showed me, is they don't charge till they're really almost ready to start your shipping process
Go to a Genius Bar and they kindly will clean your screen. (En Barcelona hay Apple Store).
Are you serious about it? Never thought I could ask a Genius about that, maybe I'll try regarding those concerns and the cloth arriving ETA, lol
What config did you order? I placed mine (M1 Pro 14" 10CPU/16GPU/32GB RAM/1TB SSD) on 16th Nov (late evening) as mentioned at the Apple Store but to be delivered at home, delivery at the store wasn't an option at that moment ... first predicted dates were 10th-16th Dec and received it last Thursday (2nd Dec) and the CC pre-auth was made on the 23th, it really seems 16" is taking longer.
…About Genius Bar, I was seriously joking. I can imagine someone asking for cleaning while waiting for his/her magic cloth, and wonder if it has already happened (in this crazy world)!Are you serious about it?

Yeah, I know regarding the stores, in fact the first version I got was from "Apple Store La Maquinista" cause I live nearby, but then I had to jump for the 32GB boat, so had to exchange it and order custom.

Ánimos, de verdad, que sé que la espera se hace eterna
Same here. I ordered through a business reseller. They say that the availability is in 30 working days (so 42 calendar days or so).
I didn't order through a business reseller, this is a company computer and since we buy a couple of hundred Apple laptops every year we have a direct contact with an apple business representative so we buy directly from Apple Italy. I usually buy my personal computers from the same channel as well. The idea is that being a big company and generating a lot of sales for Apple we should have a priority over retail, which in this case didn't work
Yeah, maybe i'm the first one to try it after your crazy idea, just for laughs…About Genius Bar, I was seriously joking. I can imagine someone asking for cleaning while waiting for his/her magic cloth, and wonder if it has already happened (in this crazy world)!
Since you're going with a standard model, wouldn't it be easy to purchase it from a local Apple Store/Authorized Seller, knowing that you're a "paisano", there's no store nearby your location? Or did you order with an specific keyboard layout diff from spanish one?
That’s funny (peculiar). Yeah, my country shops have units like I’ve ordered, possibly. I’m too far from any Apple Store or reseller; I’d had to add travel time and costs only bearable in an urgency.Yeah, maybe i'm the first one to try it after your crazy idea, just for laughs

Telling you this, cause at least in Barcelona, that model is currently now in stock, same as on Murcia, Zaragoza and Madrid and even if it's out of stock on Valencia (or any other) they tend to refill pretty fast.
, which is the biggest discount I’ve ever had from Apple in a new device.
similar situation here. Supposed to arrive on 1st of December, UPS tracking says arrived in Germany, while UPS customer support says package stuck at the Chinese custom. Apple delayed the ETA to today, but is clearly not arriving today since the package is still in China.
Hope you get it sorted soon, your timeline package misplacement in the tracking system was weird, and it really seems a mistake, IDK if it comes from Apple or UPS, but in your case they f****d it up, so congrats to get some customer rights with that investigation.
Last record is still from 6:03 1st Dec. UPS tracking states that it should be delivered today but last location is still Shanghai so unless they can teleport it....
On the one hand it would be nice if it was like that for me too, on the other hand I cant stay home all day long just for the chance of them delivering it today/ tomorrow/... without any further announcement..
