Maybe we should just stop caring about this Air Freight Tracking and just sit here and wait until our DHL Express Tracking updates.
Maybe but it's something to pester apple about while we are forced to wait
Got a tip for us?

For me they took the full amount in a completed charge last night and now I'm poor...
I have a theory that the Apple CS have a document somewhere containing a list of Air Tracking numbers to basically shut up people who are trying to track flights following a 'Dispatched' Status, but that they have little to no knowledge of exactly where each individual MacBook is. Some don't even bother by refusing to give a tracking number and some will say 'Still in China'.
My guess is it's completely random, and the only time you can be sure where your MacBook is, is when DHL/UPS/Whoever update their tracking system and show it winging it's way to you.

My theory is the data is readily available but the backend systems at Apple haven't been updated in about ten years (just look at the bug reporter - still in an iOS 6 skin!) and so it's hidden in some obscure part of the interface.
I think the reps that have given the numbers out are a rare group at the intersect of 'been in the job long enough to know the system inside out' and 'foolish enough to divulge information not already customer-accessible'!
Someone from Canada with a delivery window of november 28th - december 6th gets his PFS status: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...liveries-thread.2014075/page-12#post-23953730
Looks weird: I ordered the exact same config one day later (on the 29th) but my estimated window is 25 november - 2 december. My order is currently processing items.

Don't compare orders with the North Americans, it's not healthy and why we have this thread.
They're mostly going to Luxembourg and then it will go by ground to Amsterdam.
[doublepost=1479669692][/doublepost]Everyone remember the days when innocent souls were adamant their MacBook would be shipping form local distribution hubs? And when someone got a DHL text and everyone lost their ****? Ahhh, simpler times they were...
Oh wait that was only Tuesday!
hehe. Not complaining
Find it weird that my delivery window is earlier then the delivery window they gave him since I ordered one day later.
[doublepost=1479670712][/doublepost]anyone with DHL received any updates on their ACTUAL tracking number? the one offered by apple?
i dont think so

Nope...
But, eh, it's Sunday night, we can all start getting excited again, tomorrow is Monday, a new week, things should start moving and before we know it, we'll all be posting "out for delivery!!!"
i really hope so that would be awesome!Nope...

still waiting to be positively surprised
I really hope we already wake up to some positive news. Would be nice for a change
Yes. The waiting gets annoying. Did not expect to be delivered close to the end of my window. It is enough waiting now, let the fun begin! Well... Not quite yet.I really hope we already wake up to some positive news. Would be nice for a change
Can people that have managed to get a DHL freight number tell us what config / destination country / date order / date dispatch ?
Hopefully Tuesday, otherwise Wednesday.
No chance anyone will get them tomorrow (maybe the few UPS deliveries, but not the DHL ones)
Eventually some out if the 7CP2836 DHL batch if logistics work during the night. Don't know about customs though...
DHL Logistics work at night and on the weekend. The only thing that they don't really do is deliver stuff
Could be that there are no news
But customs probably don't, that is why the cargo arrived in Luxembourg this morning is waiting for clearance? Well, no idea if customs work on Sundays.DHL Logistics work at night and on the weekend. The only thing that they don't really do is deliver stuff
