My mail is different :)

I have an order number and a shipment reference number (both don't work if I try them in the tracking page). Shipment date is tomorrow but it's already December 7 in China...

I forgot your order was on "Apple Retail for Business", then ignore previous message, yup, so sorry.

Despite that, if it's via DHL, my bet/experience is you'll be "blind" even when the tracking appears, then Thursday DHL will tell you it has arrived and receiving it on Friday, or maybe shipping also for business channels is different, it's a good experience the one you're sharing for others in your same situation.
 
Some updates that might help for those of you that are still waiting:

29/10: Ordered a Space Gray 16” Max M1, 10 CPU CORES, 32 GPU CORES, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, SWEDEN

8/11: New estimated delivery date: 7-14 December

30/11: Preauthorized card

4/12: Prepare to ship

Seems you're in the same situation than Carlo, as told to him, even when the tracker appears, it will be most certain just the label created, then DHL doesn't update info till the package arrives till NL hub, it usually takes 4-5 days given my experience and others from this thread, then you'd receive a DHL SMS and from there expect 24h-48h delivery.

Keep it up mate! It's close :)

Any news from anyone in the 6:03 Shanghai club?
The UPS App says delivery planned for 03.12.2021 between 11:45 and 15:45, but that did not happen. The tracking data has not been updated since Dec 1st.
For all those in the 6:03 Shanghai club: Mine has finally left Shanghai, expected delivery this Wednesday (Germany). 6 days in Shanghai, I hope they don't charge any storage fees .... ;-)

Same exact dates as me, same BTO model and color but mine will arrive on the 16th
 
Finally! It has arrived! The recap:

2021-10-21 Ordered 16"/32/64gb/2TB. estimated delivery 25/11 to 2/12
2021-11-25 Charge appears on credit card
2021-11-26 (Morning) Order status shows "Preparing for Shipment"
2021-11-26 (Noon) Order status changes to "Shipped". Notification says "delivery by 3/12". Order details page in store shows arrival 29/11. (Destination is Hamburg, Germany)
2021-11-28 UPS and Apple replace delivery date with "will arrive soon"
... no update to UPS tracking, stuck on Shanghai with a timestamp of 29.11.2021 22:01
2021-12-02 11:50am UPS changes delivery date: 3 Dec 8:30am to 12:30pm
2021-12-03 (morning) UPS changes tracking: "Package leaves Shanghai (to Incheon)"
2021-12-03 11:00am UPS changes delivery date: 6 Dec 8:30am to 12:30pm
2021-12-06 01:10pm UPS changes delivery date: 6 Dec by end of business day
2021-12-06 03:30pm UPS HAS DELIVERED

UPS sure had some fun with me during those last days and hours. :) That was excruciating!

The laptop replaces a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012, 8GB RAM, which is on it's 2nd battery ("service the battery!" it tells me), 3rd logic board, a replaced network card (now with one from the 2013 Macbook that allows unlocking via Apple Watch), an upgraded 480 GB SSD (originally with 256GB), multiple pixel defects, and especially a keyboard where the keys for 1 to 9 haven't worked for the last 6 months (thanks to me spilling tea over it - hopefully the first _and_ last time that happened), so I had to resort to the accessibility keyboard. It also replaces the "music" iMac 21" 16GB from 2011 with Cubase and Dorico. Even with heavy use of Docker and VMs (and some Blender a while ago), I think I'm set for the next 10 years.

Thanks to all of you for shortening the wait, and good luck that your machines will arrive sooner rather than later!

Mine also left Shanghai through Korea and is probably now on it's way to Cologne, initially there was 9th Dec as the new delivery date (to the UK) but that date now disappeared and says to check back later.
 
Hello guys,

This is my first purchase via apple store and my delivery date is tomorrow but so far DHL says they didn't even pick it up yet. Should I be worried that it's getting delayed?

Timeline:
22. 11. - Order created
1. 12. - Shipped - Tracking number created - DHL
3. 12. - Received invoice

8. 12. - ?Delivery date?
 
6:03 Shanghai here.
After 10 days moisturing in Shanghai, some change...

UPS tracking data have been updated. current status:
2021-12-07 12:48 Incheon, KR, Departed from Facility

Still no ETA (neither on UPS tracking page or Apple store order page).

I guess it should have reached (or will reach today) Cologne.
Could be delivered tomorrow or the day after.

glad to hear that! It is most likely on this plane then :)

Thanks for the info! So with a little bit of luck I might receive it in the beginning of next week. With much of luck I might receive in the end of this week ?

Yeah, it's been a loooong wait, but now I can finally see the light in the tunnel. Hopefully the tunnel will not collapse before I have received the computer. ?
 
Does anybody know how long the delivery usually takes once the package arrived in Cologne (e.g. for a delivery within Germany)? My UPS tracking now says that it did arrive there, but still no delivery date yet.
 
My tracking number is now working:

Shipment information received​

07. December 2021 11:34 Local time | Service Area: EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE"

So it is still in China. Sender is ADI C/O SYNCREON

Congrats! I ordered before you and I have to wait one more week :D
 
So I did a bit more research and it seems Apple is using Syncreon for the first leg from China to EINDHOVEN (NL). Once there DHL takes over and you can track the second leg to the destination. It usually takes 5 or 6 days from China to NL (!) and I found no way to track the Syncreon shipment.

There is a Syncreon tracking site here and I tried every possible combination of reference numbers with no luck: https://seal.syncreon.com/synview-o...ESSIONID=D70E6F26-674F-88B9-148C-83427CEC2480
