MacBook Pro Late 2016 EU shipping

wow. nothing. 4 days the same status on the DHL website.
"November 17 Shipment information received EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE 14:44"

My initial delivery window ends in 2 days. Apple you failed this time.

This is a joke....

I'm starting to wonder if they are recalling certain models due to faults, or suspected faults. Maybe they borrowed Samsung's amazing batteries 😀

Also can someone rename this thread to

Macbook Pro 2016, EU Late Shipping? 😀
[doublepost=1479712576][/doublepost]https://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/17/system-integrity-protection-disabled-macbook-pro/ Might also explain some of the initial delays.

Those of you that receive stock this week, can you please check your SIP status?

This is a joke. Apple may as well have kept it preparing for shipment until you know, it actually shipped on its way to ny house, not when it's part of a logistics moving process.

I've never before seen a dispatch tracking actually say **** all for 5 days before.

I am following this very interesting thread since the beginning.
I got my confirmation for a full spec BTO 27th shortly after the event with 16th-23rd delivery (to Hamburg/Germany)
My cc was charged (!) on the 15th
Shipment via DHL on the 17th with a "promised" delivery on 23rd.
Now silence.
My tracking number starts with 96546xxxxx, my delivery no. is 88058xxxxx from 15th.

So everything still in time but 4 days silence is scary. And that they charged my cc 2 days before they ship and almost one week ago.
 
My theory is there is some sort of legal thing in EU (patent or sale authorisation?) that is missing for Apple to deliver before 23/11.
I can't understand why UPS deliveries would be stuck otherwise. Once they arrive in Koeln, it usually delivers the same morning, but it isn't moving, on their tracking it says "Scheduled delivery: 23/11", doesn't make any sense.

15" 2.7, 1TB, 460, TB
11.16 - 11.23, Luxembourg, Europe
still processing, ordered two minutes after server came back online after keynote

Just off the phone with Apple

Infos CS gave me:
CC was charged yesterday.
MBP will be shipped today or tomorrow from Asia. Delivers probably early next week BUT NOT AFTER 23rd. Apple is apparently "guaranteeing" that.
BTO are shipped from Asia, he could see that.
SOME stock models will be shipped from the Netherlands.
Apple is treating the continents differently, because they are different "markets"

For what it's worth...

My post from last Tuesday in the main shipping thread.
CS was right in the end... Just not so right about the deliver "guarantee" for some people.
Well - and that the MBP was shipped TWO days later
 
Alright, LUX-AMS is happening right now, AMS-Eindhoven then later today or tomorrow but: To Syncreon in Eindhoven. Then DHL will pick it up tomorrow earliest and it'll be out for delivery on Wednesday or even Thursday. And guess what, Thursday is also the time provided by Apple me with.
Good, I'm traveling until Friday anyways and thought about taking the MBP with me to work/brag but glad I don't have to consider this anymore 😀

I think this really sucks but it's not the logictics companies fault, it is apples poor decision to do stuff in Europe through Syncreon.

Has anybody outside of the US got any models delivered? Might not just be the EU sufferring delays but Asia / Australia / South America
 
This is really confusing. Apple says estimated delivery on the 24th, DHL (freight tracking) says today around 6:00PM and Parcel app with the DHL tracking code says today around 9:30 AM. Order is now in Amsterdam btw (since Saturday).

What does the DHL website say with the tracking number? "Shipment information received" is still what I'm looking at ... :-(

It says the same thing for me, but I contacted Apple CS in the UK yesterday and they provided me the tracking code for DHL Air Freight tracking. With this tracking code I can see the transport from China to the DHL hub in Amsterdam (Schiphol). It has been there since Saturday afternoon.

At least some of you have a DHL shipment in Cologne.

My TNT shipment has been stuck in ***** PUDONG since Friday! Are they waiting for a standby seat on the plane to hand my MacBook to someone randomly flying to Europe? 😵

I was actually wondering whether they maybe literally shipped it from china (with a boat), in which case we should see an in transit in amsterdam in a few weeks. 😛

Well yes, but the Air freight tracking doesn't specify a delivery estimate to you. It only specifies the delivery for that specific air freight delivery. The tracking you originally got from DHL is what's relevant for you, which hasn't been updated with an estimate yet.

Hey, I just got my "USB-C to Gigabit Adapter" via normal post service (for my German friends "Deutsche Post"). The adapter was shipped one day after the shipment of my MBP and with estimated delivery of 24th November (same date as my MBP). I was not able to track the adapter at all....

The Adapter's return address is:
syncreon technology
Van Hilststraat 23
RO Department
Waalwijk
5145 RK


Maybe that provides us some insights from where our most loved ones are shipping as well?

So for me there is still hope DHL Express might show up today, because they come in general to my home address around lunch time 🙂 But I am realistic and I really doubt it :-(
 
But yeah, same here, still stuck in pudong, since 4 days now. I really don't see the point in "shipping" them if they are not actually shipping. 🙂

The end of my hopes... The end of my dreams... 🙂
