MacBook Pro Late 2016 EU shipping

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

Wow thanks for the fast reply - is that standard for MacRumors? . Sounds good, I'm keeping my hopes up and yeah it's super weird that they don't have it stocked at a single store in London haha.

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.

Sounds great! Someone else just said this as well so looking good, thanks a bunch, I was worrying quite a bit because I wanna get some YT videos out on this ASAP haha. I might just check John Lewis out as well because that's a great deal

Could always nip to the Oxford Street John Lewis store tomorrow. They will probably have them in.

Oh this looks so great! From which year is your old model?

So finally got mine. DHL needed me to call to verify the address, and I said I'll pick it up from their office as it's just easier. Call cost me £6.61...

Talked to Apple to reimburse that because of the inconvenience (Which I thought was only fair?). Anyway, they said "No, we can't do that", I could only laugh on a £2500 laptop... So I asked if they could just give me an email address I could write to as I understand they can't really do much on the chat thing. "We don't have an email address" I was told, "You can write to...", again I laugh. The biggest technology company in the world wants me to send them a letter!

I thought it was a pretty reasonable request but apparently not! Had to drive an hour to get it, but at least it's finally here!

I ordered at a reseller, so I can't track it like you guys but I like lurking here and helping out if possible.
Had an estimated delivery of 30/11/2016, so was getting pretty hyped. Just now changed to 01/02/2017.. really hope this is a mistake.. if not, ill be lurking in this thread till the very end!

A tip for anyone in Belgium or The Netherlands: just noticed that coolblue has a few standard touchbar models in stock, marked as delivery tomorrow if ordered before midnight!

I'm looking for a higher spec BTO model, which they don't list unfortunately.

Seems like they are already sold out. Which models were available? Only 13-inch or even 15-inch?

 

[FrankyDM]

yes both 13 and 15 inch.
still available, here's a link (if allowed)

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if more 15-inch models were available prior?

 

[FrankyDM]

yes, they list 10 MacBook pro 2016 models in total, of which only 2 models with touchbar in stock:

Heyz,

Since I'm hoping my macbook will ship soon (my order was processed 31/10 but still didn't go into P4S), I realy have to decide om my dongles or usb-c hub.

Please help me out... I've been looking around for weeks but don't know what to buy.

I don't know too much about which brands I can trust to use with my new macbook pro.
I've heard that you should watch out because using the wrong dongle/hub could dammage your macbook.

So, what did you guys order? Which brands should I trust (or which brands shouldn't I trust?)?
I'm looking to have two normal usb ports, an hdmi port and an sd card reader could be a bonus...

CSN459 just left Shanghai for Amsterdam with the housebill number 7CP2996. Could mine be on it even with an estimated delivery of Friday? I only got the shipping confirmation from Apple a few hours ago

Yeah this could actually be our flight.
Estimated time of arrival: 2016-11-29 11:30
It runs about 20minutes late, probably because they had to load 1658kg of MacBooks

I totally love mine, its thinner than the bottom chassis of my 2012 non retina that its replacing. Spent all day on it just loading my apps and tools on it and have just spent an hour on World of Warcraft, damn this thing runs cool compared to the 2012 model. Screen is gorgeous and the speakers are top notch, probably the best audio I have ever had on a laptop.

Hey, so I've been for searching around for dongles and hubs for quite a good time and I've decided that I'm gonna buy a Satechi USB-C hub that I will take with me and use it wherever I go, as it is small and portable. Then I'll buy an Arc Hub by Bourge Design which I'll place at my desk at home, as I really like it's design and I think it will fit really well as a "table fixed Hub". However the latter one will only be delivered on the first months of 2017.
Here you have the links to their websites so you can have a look.

Satechi: http://www.satechi.net/index.php/type-c-pass-through-usb-hub-space-gray

The Satechi has a usb c port (so you don't lose the one you are giving up for the Hub) 2 USB ports and SD card slots

Arc Hub by bourge design:
https://www.bourgedesign.com/pre-order

This one has 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI (4K, 30Hz), 1 SD Card slot and 1 Mini Display Port.

Howevwr, If I think I'm missing anything I'll probably buy some Apple dongles, if not I'll search for more hubs; and of course I'm up for any recommendations and other products that any of you know, as it would be of great help too.

I do have a question too; Should I buy an extension cable for my MBP 15" TB charger or can I use a 6 year old one I have at home?

I've been checking and I'm on that housebill number.
Shipment info was created on Sunday 27/11

Estimated delivery 5/12 hoping it I get it by Friday or Saturday since it will be in ams by weds

Highlight doubtful - it has to get picked up, dropped off, manifested for clearance, and put back onto a plane. From what I gather, Apple's email is sent when it sits in the loading bay waiting to be picked up by DHL, the same as when you normally track a DHL domestic package - it matches the time of "shipment information received", which just means DHL received the shipping request digitally. It's unlikely that you made that flight - check when it was cleared and added to the flight's manifest, and when it was picked up / arrived at origin airport.

Most likely it will fly out tomorrow night, land Wednesday early morning, get cleared by customs Thursday by 6pm, and potentially delivered on Friday (if all goes smooth)

 

[Jamieblufc]

@jonyiveswhiteroom So what's your estimate on my delivery then.

Emailed Saturday afternoon of it being shipped, DHL received information at 13:00 yesterday. Apple tracking is onto 2nd 'In Transit to customer' which I believe going by your earlier posts could be sat at AMS waiting to clear customs. Think it would arrive in U.K. and be delivered by/on Friday?

Before you disappear, What would you say about mine johnny?
Shipment info was received Sunday afternoon. No movement since then but I'm assuming it would have been on the flight that just left. Waiting to see the tracking update

Did you get a "Shipment dispatched" status at all? It's hard to tell without that which stage you're at since that status appears 3 times. You could still be sitting in PVG. Most likely it flew out today or tonight (there's usually a China Air Cargo flight that leaves after midnight). So it lands in AMS Tuesday morning, clears customs on Wednesday, arrives overnight at your hub on Thursday. I'd say Thursday-Friday delivery.

Let's just appreciate the hard work that this fellow macrumors member is doing for all of us! Thanks, I really admire your patience

Yep I've had 'shipment dispatched' and now this is the second status of 'In Transit to customer' which I can assume (or hope) it's already sat at AMS waiting for customs
