Hopefully mine was on the 5Y534 flight, the shipment status coincided with that flight taking off from Shanghai.

It landed about 6am this morning, I watched it land! The air freight tracking numbers for it haven't yet updated, so it's obviously working it's way through the airport. Looking at previous waybills, it seems to take about 6 hours after the plane lands for status updates to happen (i.e to say it's landed etc) and then about 24 hours for it to be in DHLs and customs hands.

Mines on that one too, had apples in the air shipping status when i went to bed yesterday and when i woke up 07 it was back to the on way to customer status again whats the dhl flight tracker number on it?
 
Mine is dispatched, delivery 30th[/QUOTE

Cancelled Pre-order (ordered 31oct) and have picked one up at Apple store Den-Haag. This whole pre-order thing is a joke. I do have to say i wanted a stock model so it's only a joke for stock models. Good luck guys.
 
pretty livid about this whole thing, originally ordered with delivery of 3 - 9th December. No movement.

Coincidentally went into my local apple store (Brighton, UK). they had my EXACT configuration in stock, 13" 512gb and 16gb ram.

NOTE: it was NOT listed in the stores inventory and the sales guy had to go and dig around to see what they had.

Seriously frustrating that i even bothered with preorders and i've just managed to walk in and get it.
Oh :( I have 13"...

Yep 13" i7 / 16/ 512 ordered 31st Oct, still NO movement.

No bank charge and theres only 11 days until delivery window opens! .. It doesn't look promising :(

They're definitely prioritising the 15" configs at the moment

Well there is still plenty of time for 11 days. As I understand it, the bank charge will be placed as soon as your Order hits P4S. As for the prioritising the 15" inch: I don't know if they do that. The 13" Touch Bar Models were the first to be sold to walk in customers. So one could argue that they probably have a higher 13" production rate.

Either way you put it: This launch blows ;P

I ordered (2 of) the same spec on 28/10 and received the dispatch notification on 22/11 with the est delivery updating to 30 Nov. The original delivery window was 25/11 - 02/12, so, I think you're still on track.

Mine is a merge order (something I didn't know would be the case), else I think I would have received it earlier.

To be honest, I think the first pre-orders (on the day of the keynote) were about a week ahead of some of the others.
 
According to the homepage of my credit card, my card is still not charged.
However, my Macbook was shipped two days ago.
I think maybe it takes some time for the bank to proceed the charge.
 
Are you aware you posted your full name, address, etc online? You really don't want to give someone an incentive to pick up the notebook from the driver before he hands it over to you.
Oops. See, this is why I shouldn't have access to the internet when I'm sleep deprived. Thank you for noticing, I feel like a total idiot now :D

7CP2895 was one of the freight packages on board, that's what I used to figure out the flight.

First rule of Apple order club, don't talk about Apple order club*.

(* or never order anything else on the same order as a computer!)

You live and learn. On the plus side, you'll never make that mistake again! :D

I had a merge order too, and it dispatched 2 days later than the batch with the same dates... and then took another extra day getting my dongle to my MBP.
 
F this sh*t... Ordered a MBP 15" for pickup today in Amsterdam. I'll return the original order once it's delivered - can't cancel that order any more, and it's not eligible for return ATM; and I can't imagine my boss would be pleased had I had to call in sick monday and/or tuesday with DHL-itis

I was / am guessing that my order was in that batch as well. Not sure when I'll see the DHL update though. Delivery is Nov. 30.

EDIT: Are all of you signing up for the shipment notifications from DHL?

Not really. My order was placed about 2 hours after keynote and I have delivery date of 5th of December (was 23rd-30h of November before it was shipped)
 
I ordered on the 14 nov the 15 base model with 512gb drive. Apple said delivery 4-5 weeks but gave me 20-29dec as the dates. The given dates are actually 5-7 weeks from my order. I have now checked my local store and they have both 15inch models in stock. WTF? Why am I supposed to wait another month for it when they already have them in stock? What a ****ing mess.

Edit: forgot to add that the delivery has now changed to 3-4 weeks which is earlier than my given date. I'm in Scotland btw.

There are a lot of people, but also a lot of stores/reseller that ordered certain models. Im talking about thousands and thousands of MacBooks. If you order online now, you will get yours after everyone else. These MacBooks go to stores and resellers to be sold to people, therefor it is not that strange that you can pick one op in stores or at a reseller while the apple website still gives 1+ months for a delivery.
So as to "why im I supposed to wait": you aren't, if you order online you chose to wait.
and "what a ****ing mess": it isn't, if you actually think about it.

The DHL tracker will update when they have recovered the package from customs.

At the moment the only way of "tracking" is to use that airfreight reference and even then you're assuming that it was on that particular flight. (using circumstantial evidence).

As of now that freight is still awaiting customs and all that faff, and it seems to take about 30 hours from the plane landing to DHL recovering the packet (via customs) etc.

Excited, my dates are Delivers 6 Dec - 12 Dec by Standard Shipping

Anyone any rough idea when it goes to this status how long it may take to ship ?

Oh :confused:
I thought there had been some people that had their's recovered by DHL on the same day (arrival early morning, recovery in the evening).
But if it's 30 hours then that would be . . . Monday? Or would they pick it up on a Saturday?

If you look back a few freight numbers before that one you will see flights that landed and it seems to take pretty much 24 hours for the freight to clear customs after landing.

My current delivery estimate is the 30th, if it all grinds to a halt now until Monday then I'd say it's going to arrive bang on the 30th. I guess it just depends if whether we were on that flight and how quickly it takes for customs to clear it and DHL to process it and where it has to head to as its final destination, in my case Heathrow. (which is about 14 miles away from here)

Lots of Ifs and Buts here!

Sorry about my outburst. You are perfectly right, no one is forcing me to wait, but you know what I ment :).

I still think it's a mess and online orders have been for a while. Starting with iPhone 6 (when I started paying more attention to this) I could walk in store and get one first day when others who ordered online were waiting for months to get theirs. When you have an estimate on their website and get a different timeline after you place the order what else would you call it, specially if you are a very passionate customer? :))

Anyways, I called my local store and spoke with a very helpfull employee and we canceled my initial order and placed another one and I'm picking my macbook up this evening after work. Seems like I won't have to wait another month.

Hope everyone waiting here gets theirs soon.

Same! Although mine is 28th Nov - 5th Dec, I was gonna ask the same thing (mine is the stock 15")

I agree, and for some people who pre ordered straight after the keynote and are still waiting.. not even talking about the difference between EU and USA!

anyways because of the keynote late october and estimates of 3-4 weeks I thought they would start arriving around black friday, so I didn't pre order in hopes of finding a deal and still get my macbook around the same time as most of the pre orders. Now ordered a stock 15" with €285 off and a free usb-c to usb-a dongle with an estimated delivery of next week wednesday :)

have fun with yours! hope it doesn't have any issues.. ;)

Oh that really sucks. I wonder why there was that adjustment - mine at least has stayed in the originally stated delivery window.
 
Can someone please paste the "DHL do something" picture? I know things are going how they are supposed to but still I do not like the lack of status updates.
