I managed to squeeze the waybill number out of the CS rep! It's departing china in around 3 hours, and is going to arrive in the Netherlands early tomorrow morning on the flight CA103. The waybill number contains 8 items and weighs around 1600kg lol

What's your expected delivery date and what's the housebill ref (and when did you get the shipped notification)? It's possible mine's also on this delivery, if not the one that just left on CZ453.
 
Finally!

If DHL/UPS take the piss please do raise the issue with them and Apple too. I think this is what made them change their mind and bring it now instead of tomorrow

DHL tracking number still not being recognised... o_O
Will maybe try and get the house bill reference number thing from Apple later - but their online chat might finish before I get home.
 
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*
When did you get the shipment notification ?
I'm following this thread for almost one week, and I noticed that "Shipment information received" at EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS was pending during five days.

I mean, I had this status until last Saturday, and It changed today, Wednesday .
The one who had this status until last Thursday had their status changed last Monday.

I think that it gives a good idea about the delay you should expect.

These were the prepaid shipments, the collect shipments were faster to process. It's roughly 48 hrs from shipped notification until your DHL tracking code updates at AMS.
 
Just noticed these laptops do not fall under the festive season return policy, so if you are evaluating them guys, beware it's only a 14 day return policy .

Pretty sure that's wrong. Just a heads up. Where are you getting that from? Because it's 'Received' after, not ordered or shipped.
 
Received my 15" today - a day later because DHL Express messed up.
Must say I love the keyboard - do not get what the fuss was about!
The space gray looks great!
Is there a way to increase the brightness of the touch bar?

Go to www.apple.com and log into your account . Check your orders and there is a return button, hit that and mine say return by 7 December. I reviewed mine today
 
My 15" arrived today :D:D:D:D

It's so beautiful, just fantastic. I got used to the Keyboard after 1-2 hours and now it feels much better than the old one.
 
So if I got Shipped today, do you think there's a chance for a delivery in London, UK, before end of day Friday?

Very unlikely. Impossible even. Expect it around Tuesday I would say (check what the estimation is from Apple, it's your best bet and will arrive 1 day either side of that I imagine).

It still has to clear customs and fly to your distribution hub after it's processed at AMS.

And if you go further down that page you'll find the returns policy:

Please note that all other terms and conditions provided in the Apple Online Store Sales and Refunds Policy are still applicable with respect to such items purchased.

I think it is not intended by Apple to change the brightness of the touchbar. It should adapt automatically to your environment. Maybe there is some "terminal-hack" for that.

Yeah, I think even if it is stated differently in your order, if you give them a call and read what is stated on their own website they'll probably accept the return even in January.

I would of expected the bar to change brightness when you change the brightness of the keys backlight though :/

Pro-tip for those tracking cargo flights. If Apple's tracking says "Shipment dispatched", then it's on the plane en-route to AMS.

Thanks for the tip and I have noticed that mine is indeed at 'Shipment dispatched' :)

Any ideas what the general guidelines are for delivery now? Possible for Friday?
