So back to the second 'In Transit To Customer - Shipment on Schedual'

Going from Jonyiveswhiteroom back on page 204 I assume my MacBook could be sitting in AMS waiting to clear customs! Could be here by Friday 2nd when my original window was 6-12th, I'd be made up! :D

Ordered : 4 november
Preparing for shipment : 28 november

Estimated window : 12-16 december

Any chance getting it before those dates ?
 
For me around 24-30 hours
[doublepost=1480352173][/doublepost]And finally Shipped :)
I've made a mistake and ordered 1 package, dongles + Mbp so I can't see the tracking at all :(

Maybe someone has shipped today too ?
I would really appreciate sending some info to track cargo. Apple will give me tracking after everything gets bundled into one package at warehouse

Mine shipped today. DHL Express, information received November 28, 2016 at 16:57. I didn't really understand the part of @jonyiveswhiteroom's guide on how to find the cargo.

I sort of understand but don't have any shipping number to even try searching for it.
Can you tell what info apple gave you ?
Do you have Dhl tracking or waybill number ?
 
Guys are you able to determine where the package is just by looking at dhl tracking or that involves @jonyiveswhiteroom method to find cargo ?
Do apple send you waybill number too ?
 
I got a waybill number and on the tracking page I see a piece number. Est delivery is Friday
Thanks :)
After looking at emails the only numbers I have are order number Wxxx and some package number starting with 88 (10 digits) apple order page says it's sent but no tracking info there at all

Any chance this 88.. is a waybill number ?

Mine is 96..., ten digits. Doesn't it work here? http://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking/monitor_shipments.html
 
Mine is on it's way! Just got updated.

15", 2,6Ghz, 1Tb SSD and Radeon Pro 460.
Spain. Ordered November 3. Estimated delivery was 12-15 Dec.
Now I just got an email saying it has been sent and the estimated delivery is December 7.

Ordered also the extension power cable. Hope it doesn't get delayed because of that.
También de España?! Hola que tal? ¿Qué compañía te lo va a traer? Y, ¿Cuánto tiempo tardo en pasar de Procesamiento de Artículos a Envío en Preparación ?
 
Hey guys,

I'm still waiting for my order to go into P4S, I see many with a later window already being shipped :(
Do you get an email notification when your order gets into P4S or only when it ships?

I'm now constantly looking up the email I received when my order was placed to see if there are any updates :(
No, I didn't receive an email when it changed to P4S.
 
Alright, the wait is almost over.
My status changed to: Preparing handover to final carrier.
Still no tracking number.
est delivery: nov 30th

I hope it will show up tomorrow!

Any sign of your tracking number yet? I have the exact same situation, but est delivery 1st Dec.
 
The waybill number is *not* going to give you any info about the cargo flight - the DHL tracking link and waybill number is only for the final carrier, DHL Europe. It's not for the DHL Air Cargo flight. Those begin with 7CPXXXX, and Apple will not give it to you (some CS reps did give them to the 2-3 week'ers, which is how I was able to piece all this together, but they weren't supposed to, and now they get in trouble if they give it to you, so they won't).

Basically if you're freaking out, don't! The chances of Apple "losing" your package are slim to none. If you have a tracking number, sit back and relax for ~72 hours. Your Mac will most likely have reached Amsterdam by then.

Couldn't the cold temperatures permanently damage the battery of the MacBooks? I'm a bit worried about that!
 
Just ordered my Macbook Pro 13" Touch Bar base model here in the UK off the Apple store. It says it'll arrive in 3-4 weeks (Dec 29 - Jan 4) for both direct shipping, and to the local Apple stores. I find that quite surprising and hard to believe for a company as big as Apple (I'm a first time Apple buyer).

I was wondering if you guys know how likely it is that Apple is heavily understating the delivery times here and if it's possible I'd get it within the first half of December.

I'm going to be checking the pickup availability for my local Apple store (Westfield) tomorrow morning since they start getting deliveries every Tuesday. Fingers crossed they'll have it in stock :)

If it's base model they'll more than likely have them in store now and definitely well before your delivery estimate. Manchester & Liverpool store have the base models in

If it's a base model and you in London, you will almost certainly be able to pick one up direct from an Apple Store tomorrow morning. Also, John Lewis have stock at £100 off.
