Yes, thx, I understand, but I'm curious when it stated it was preparing to ship. Monday, Nov. 4? Also, in the order confirmation email, what date did it say it would be shipping?

I just found my email a bit confusing, because it said it would ship in 8-10 days from my order date of Nov. 1, but it would take until Nov. 20-22 to deliver, which is 11 days after shipment date. BTW, my delivery date just changed like 10 minutes ago to now say Nov. 19-21, so obviously something is happening. Still processing though.

For some hardware, Canadian orders sometimes get shipped from Canada or the US. Not sure if this is the case this time for you or not but it may be the case if it’s a common configuration. What was your config?
Base M4 no upgrades.

I'm curious. When did it first say Preparing to Ship? Was it when you posted your thread on Monday, Nov. 4?

My M4 32GB 1TB has been sitting in HK since 20:44 their time... Grrrrr. Original date was 15-19 and now UPS says 11th
The next two scheduled UPS flights nonstop from HK to Anchorage are tonight 11/8 after 8 pm HK local time/date. With the magic of crossing the International Dateline, the flights arrive the same day after 12:30 pm Alaska Standard Time. Not sure about UPS connecting cargo flights via Taipei or Seoul.
 
My M4 Pro window moved up a week - now arriving between Nov. 22-23. I ordered yesterday. Hopefully it moves up even more!

7th December in Singapore. What the freak ?
*its m4 base model. Can’t justify getting anything more expensive or additional upgrades.

A single 8gb ram upgrade already costs 35% of a brand new base mini for Singapore region.

Well, what and when did you order? Of course, different configs have different ship times, and first come first serve.
It’s Singapore. My bad. I ordered the cheapest base. Today.

I am flabbergasted that it can take up to 15/12/2024 to arrive.

Do they ship by a full container loads of mac minis that takes 10-25 days shipping route to reach the Asia warehouses ?

It could be that they've exhausted their initial batch in your area and have to manufacture more.

Also, Apple did say that to achieve carbon neutrality, the have been prioritizing non-air shipping as well.

Nope. There were no options to do instore purchase.

Preorders opened on 5th nov and the shipping date was already showing December once pre-orders commenced. Today is the 8th Nov and it should mark the first day for in store purchase but apple website states unavailable.

Strange thing is all Mac book pro and iMac m4 are available in store, just not the mac mini

Hmmm... That's weird.
 
That will arrive Tuesday next week IMO
It seems you are about right. :) Apple says Nov. 13, and UPS says Nov. 11. Split the difference and it's Tuesday, Nov. 12. ;)

Original arrival date was Nov. 20-22, which was changed to Nov. 19-21 yesterday. So this is roughly 10 days early.

Base model with destination in IL. It was a few hours away (by car), flew across the country, and is flying back across the country again to get back here tomorrow. (?)
