Can I ask your delivery window, and is there a store already selling these models in your country?
Got a tip for us?

MacBook Pro Late 2016 EU shipping

My guess would be: delivered to apple stores and re-sellers on Tuesday, available for pick up etc on Wednesday.
This is based on a lot of info that I gathered over the last week.
There could always be custom problems etc, but expect to see them in stores Wednesday the 30th.
I believe when you're waiting between the shipment being picked up, the manifest for carriage completed and the flight leaving, then you see something like "In transit to customer – delivery on schedule".
Forget what the original status states now.
Edit: Here are the Apple tracking statuses
1. Shipped
2. In transit to customer – shipment on schedule (it's sitting at the airport in Shanghai waiting to fly out)
3. Shipment dispatched
4. In transit to customer – shipment on schedule (again, it is in AMS, but not cleared customs yet)
5. Preparing handover to final carrier (it's most likely passed through customs, and is on its way to AMS DHL)
6. In transit to customer - shipment on schedule (Again, this time it is processed at DHL AMS and is waiting to fly out to your country). DHL will give you your delivery estimate at this point, just go ahead and use the DHL tracking as it will be more accurate and have more info.
7. In transit to destination country (most likely a status you'll get overnight, meaning a delivery is possible the day after)
8. With courier, delivered, etc. Use DHL's tracking

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?
What does the Apple website say? That date is most likely, or 1 day earlier at best. For me that means Monday (I don't believe Apple's paid for Saturday deliveries this time around).

Apple website says Monday the 28th, was really hoping for it on Friday so I could have the weekend to play with it
I'm just going to lie to myself in an attempt to make the next few days a little more bearable
9-15 dec
I think they are available in the apple store in Brussels, but because of a discount I have to stay with my online pre-order

I pointed that out to the CS rep I was chatting online to. They have arranged a call back tomorrow morning, so I will report what the status is once they call me
In Germany dhl delivers saturday by default. edit: i think
DHL Express Worldwide (what we're getting) and DHL Paket (Amazon.de etc) are two different services. Would love to be proven wrong and get it on Saturday of course!
Austrian here - delivery window Dec. 9-14 - ordered on the 31st. My status hasn't changed once in the 3+ weeks I have already been kept waiting now. Really killing me to see all those US orderes being shipped and lots of you guys getting lucky in the UK/FR/NL…almost feels like Apple forgot I have one on order. :/ *sorryforbitchingaround*
15-inch stock MacBook Pro, ordered on the 28th (October) at about 18 GMT+1, Sardinia (Italy).

Don't worry we were all in this phase. I was getting annoyed by all the 2-3 week'ers getting updates earlier
(I ordered on the 28th.. 1 day later = 1 week later delivery).Same situation here, I ordered it on Nov 1st fully maxed silver 15'' to be delivered to Spain. I also have 9-14/12 delivery, in my case I am not in a hurry as I will not be able to use it until 15/12, but I am still anxious about it
Mine currently says 'Shipment dispatched'. Is there any way of telling what flight it's on? Delivery to Birmingham, UK, est delivery 30th Nov.
Thanks for your reply.
Apple says:
Status - Shipment dispatched - 23 November 2016
Est. Delivery - 30 November 2016
I'd say it's CZ 453 if you changed to "Shipment dispatched" a few hours ago.
Does that mean that mine's in the air now?

(I realise that there's some degree of speculation to this).
Just quickly popping back to say:
My pre-order which arrived yesterday turned out to be a lemon. It had some sort of graphics issue (pictures in the EU owners' thread if anyone's interested).
Anyway - I was lucky enough to find a higher spec model in the Covent Garden.
When was it manufactured?
So while our preorders were slumming it on the slowest shipping method known to man, the stores get their stuff in two days. Assuming it wasn't leftover stock from yesterday in which case they got next day shipping.
What a farce!

I believe so - but if you get movement around 6-9am tomorrow on your DHL Express tracking number, then it was definitely that flight. It will get processed by around 5-6pm later in the day though based off previous logs.

Happy ending in the end. Fate
No shipment notification yet, still processing items (articles en cours de traitement).
Is someone able to track my shipment? Delivery to Italy planned on the 1st December; I received the shipping alert today at 22:22 GMT+1 but the Order Status report tomorrow (24th Nov) as day of the shipment.
