My MBA 16GB/1TB ordered on Nov 18th with a current window of 12/4-12/11 is still in "Processing" state with the message "As soon as the item is ready, we'll send you an update".
Let us know if anything changes
 
My status just changed to preparing for ship
I'm in the exact same position as you (8/8/512GB MBA ordered on 11/20, est delivery 12/8-15). Mine also just went to preparing to ship this morning:

Still waiting for shipment, delivery window ends tomorrow so will definitely miss... anybody else here with a 1TB (or frankly any other custom) had better luck this week?
 
I ordered a 8/16/1TB on Nov. 20 with an estimated delivery of 12/8-12/15. Still shows as 'Processing'.
 
Just changed to "Preparing to Ship". If it helps, I live in NJ and ordered this on the 11-18 9AM EST.
8-core GPU, 16GB, 1TB right?

This is good news, because somebody with an identical build on Reddit just had their window bumped back a whole month and I was starting to despair. Which begs the question... what the ****, Apple? :oops:

from the receipt.
 
The other report I just referred to checked theirs again after I let them know about yours and theirs also has now moved into preparing to ship, just very shortly after having the window bumped back a month.

LOL, and I'm starting to get dangerously hopeful here... I ordered about 12 hours after you, so hopefully later today?
 
Another shipping notification. I ordered my 8/16/256 on 12/1/20 and an original delivery date of 12/24/20. Mine says preparing to ship and delivers by 12/18/20.
Fingers crossed

Thanks for the update.

The current bottleneck definitely seems to be the 1TB SSD. Hopefully that's getting cleared out now. I heard something about Shanghai airport being effectively shut down a couple weeks ago because UPS brought COVID back... Hopefully that's cleared up.

They must've gotten a shipment of new Macs. I got an email last night saying that it was shipped.

It's shipping from China though, with a delivery estimate of 12/16 from the UPS site.

Timeline of order:
11/16 ordered an M1 8 core GPU 16GB/1TB with a delivery estimate of 12/2-12/9.
12/9 delivery window changed from 12/2-/12-9 to 1/6-1/13
12/11 marked as shipped from China and has a delivery date of 12/16

mine on Apple website said 21 Dec. but UPS just updated to 17 Dec. :)
 
Ordered a Macbook Air (16G/1TB/Space Gray) on 11/12. The initial delivery estimate was Dec. 7-10. I just checked the order and now it's Jan. 7-14. No emails from Apple about the delay. I'm kicking myself because the day I placed the order, the Naperville store had them in stock. I was working quite a distance and decided to wait to prep my trade-in.
 
My MBA 8C/16G/1Tb just changed from 12/4-12/11/2020 to 1/13-1/20/2021. My note says "We have everything necessary to complete your order." so they must have the 1TB SSD since they said that they have everything necessary to complete my order.

Maybe it is a lack of elves problem putting the machine together.
