Maybe it's a signal that I should've ordered the 13" instead of the 15"
Hopefully! :)

General question about the apple tracking-page.
Status is Shipped and it says a "Track"-button will be visible within 24hrs. Is that button the plain text link which reveals my tracking number (which still isn't active)? Or will a button appear when the tracking nr starts working on the UPS site?
Weirdly excited about getting started with the continuous reloading of UPSE tracking-site.

It's the text which reveals your tracking number.

Hope you have better luck!
 
Anyone who's good at this have any idea which freight number my order will be on if I got my dispatch notification on the 19th?

I'd assume it's in AMS by now, all the waybills I found electronically submitted on Friday seem to have arrived Monday 12.45pm local AMS time. Might need to call DHL to find out what's going on.

Double check your status on Apple's website too. See if it says "Shipment delayed" or something.
 
Not sure yet which one it will be yet. It might have come in today on a prepaid cargo flight (as jonnyiveswhiteroom said earlier, this might mean slower delivery) or it will be scanned through the Netherlands tomorrow for delivery Friday.

What is your estimated delivery date on the Apple site?

My Apple delivery date is the 28th

Me and you are exactly the same then. Dispatched the same day and a Shipment Information Received label created within minutes of each other. We might get it Friday, probably Monday.

Check your DHL again. Just been processed in Amsterdam in the last few minutes.

Movement at last!!

My window was : 25-2

DHL Say now : tomorrow, by the end of the day

I'm so happy because I really hoped that it would be the 25th (to not have to wait during the week end), but I didn't expect to have my computer tomorrow !!
 
It's crazy how long we wait and we are just one refresh from being told it is coming tomorrow!!!!

Nice! Looks like you were on the CZ flight that arrived this morning perhaps, the goods usually get processed to DHL around 5-6pm from past shipments. Though looks like you're going to get it 1 day earlier 24th instead of 25th.

Thanks for all of your help. Went way beyond the call of duty with the various scenarios. It's kept me entertained. I hope I'm not going to be underwhelmed when I get it and send it back and track it back to China so I can match the highs and lows over the last few days.

Thanks to JonnyIve's detective work I was able to track the flight for a cargo flight that MIGHT have your MacBook on. It gets into Amsterdam from Shanghai this afternoon.

CKK205. No guarantees, obviously but it keeps things interesting.

Think you were on the money with this flight actually (which came from my guess that you were on 7CP2862) :)

No problem, also been getting interested in the word of logistics a little through this process. Makes me entirely appreciate the whole thing.

I've been to the Apple Store Berlin today so I had a look at the 13" with TB... Bit hard to say as you have to test standing up, but it's awkward to use the keyboard and TB comfortably when standing. It's perfectly light and thin... fingers crossed!

Mine's on the way! Just left Shanghai... http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/CSN453

Chanceux !

My stock 15" (est. 25th - 2nd) ordered on the France store is still stuck at processing items. At the start of the week I was holding out hope for Friday, but it's looking more like next Friday by now.

*twiddles thumbs*
 
Well I spoke to Apple and asked them to submit a formal complaint to DHL because it doesn't make sense to have the laptop arriving at London at 5am and them not having time to deliver it today.

I've just received all sort of notifications from DHL saying it's on its way this evening. Won't hold my breath!
 
I got fed up... cancelled my MacBook that I had preordered shipped with DHL which was still in transit stuck in Netherlands. Leicester Apple store had them in stock already so walked in and walked out with the Touch Bar MacBook complete joke of a preorder

I recommend just going into the store if you can't be bothered to wait another week or two

Mine went from processing to P4S yesterday, and today it went to shipped!
Holy moly i am so hyped, never unbowed a Factory New Macbook!
Now my collection is almost complete, only thing i miss is the Apple Watch and the MacPro!

Edit: Im from Germany
Edit: BTO 15"
 
To all the clever detective guys out there:

Is there any way to track my shipping from China to Europe until the parcel gets active on the official tracking number?

Shipped today
 
Just received mine! It has sure been a hell of a ride! Waited 18 months for this laptop. Bittersweet memories this shall be.

Ye do what mark says (so I can get mine sooner!) .. Manchester & Liverpool don't have any of the full spec 13" available or I'd do the same :(
