For anyone in the same boat: my UPS delivery went from Shanghai, China to Seoul, Korea to Anchorage, US… going to Louisville, US to Cologne, Germany. Kind of an unexpected route to central EU. Not a merge order.
My UPS delivery is at Shanghai at the moment waiting for departure.
Status at the moment: Export Scan
Estimated delivery to Germany is Friday, so I don't think it will take this route. More likely it will fly via Dubai to cologne
 
Still waiting, I'm about to cancel all my plans and stay home tomorrow just to receive it if this happens. Even if it doesn't, should get it before weekend so good news :)
I haven't received any update yet, but it is still possible. Amsterdam to Stuttgart is not by plane but by truck and they often drive by night

Mine was Export Scan at Shanghai yesterday and is expected for Thursday.
 
Damn you Apple! Just got info from Apple that my MBP will be delivered to Poland using SCHENKER AG with estimated delivery of 5th of December and my order changed to Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date few hours ago. So from AMS to Poland it takes now 6 days to deliver package, while 4 years it took 2 days, but then they used DHL not SCHENKER AG

Ohhh noo Schenker AG is a subdivision of Deutsche Bahn, that can take a while...believe me :eek:
 
Dont trust apples estimated delivery time because mine changed to PFS 26/11 and same day a couple hours later it changed to shipped with estimated delivery time 5/12. The tracking number started to work on Sunday (27/11) and was stuck on information received until today. According to dhl I will get it tomorrow.(13TB i7/16/256) ordered 27/10 and delivery time was 6/12-12/2 first
So if I ordered a 15" BTO base model Space Grey on 28/11 and the estimated delivery time is set to be between the 28th of December and the 3rd of Jan Maybe I could get it a week earlier?

Mine arrived in Amsterdam yesterday, was cleared and this evening is in the hands of TNT. And I haven't had any emails or updates as to its whereabouts. I've just been checking my details on the Apple status page and finally it changed and had my tracking number. Like many here I've spent a lot of time searching and refreshing. And a few phone calls. Good things take time.

I got mine this afternoon and I just came back in to tell you all: Its worth the h*cking wait ! It's beautiful and fast.

EDIT: Oh yeah, thanks for the ride, this thread was my home for a couple of weeks, and you made the wait so much better, love you all.
Special props to @jonyiveswhiteroom , thanks again for everything !
Got mine as well, it's freakin' awesome :) If you're coming from an old mac (> 3 years), you'll see a huge difference.

How do you know how many times "in transit to customer" has been displayed?

Apologies for the late reply, but I've been refreshing that much I've been able to count which number of 'in transit to customer' it's at. Check page 204, all the steps of the process

I expect mine to arrive in liverpool tonight and be out early morning for delivery :D

Haha yeah that would work I guess. But I did not have that much time the last days to constantly refresh the page all day and night :)
Apple should give us a list of past events so that we know what happened/whats next like DHL or UPS!
 
My carrier is SYNCREON UK, never heard of them and the tracking number is not found?
They delivered my Apple TV before,

My DHL and Apple tracking still haven't changed which is kind of weird. Got tired of checking and seeing nothing. Let's see what tomorrow brings
 
Order went P4S Friday 25/11, shipped later that day. Was due 29/11 (yesterday) in Sheffield, England. Left the DHL Leeds depot at 10.19am and never arrived and no delivery was attempted... Original delivery window 28/11 -5/12. Stock "15
 
Delivery date
Update: TNT now have my machine. Leaving Eindhoven and estimating delivery in Oslo tomorrow before 18:00! Hope yours is heading in the direction of Sweden. :)
Mine is currently sitting in Stockholm, being delivered by UPS by the end of the day tomorrow (Thursday). Can't wait!

My old MBP is mid 2011. I'm imagining it'll be like going from driving a Fiat 500 to driving a Farrari 458. Hopefully I'll know by days end.
 
Hmmm my Macbook Pro still sits in Shanghai. This is getting annoying. I am not sure if the tracking failed. Can it be that my Macbook will stay at the first stop for 48 hours? It is not a merge order and it just needs to be shipped out.
I am really annoyed that other orders shipped on Sunday will be delivered tomorrow and mine (which was dispatched on Monday) will only be here on Monday.

EDIT: In the meantime my dongles were sent from Mailand to Bergamo to Basel and are out for delivery. All since yesterday evening.

Weird status...

Monday morning : shipped
Monday large part of the day : shipment dispatched
Tuesday morning and all day long : In transit to customer – shipment on schedule

Following the guide by jonyiveswhiteroom I thought it was in the Shanghai to AMS flight (CZ459 - 7CP2996) which landed yesterday at about 10h00.

When I wake up this morning the status went back to shipment dispatched. Hard to tell where is my mac. Maybe it took last night flight finally...

OK great thanks :D your order was collected two hours before mine (at least according to my scans from TNT). Let's see if anything changes today. Oddly enough there is no schedueled TNT flight from Shanghai to Europe (at least from what I could find on the internet) today. There is one tomorrow which would arrive at 12.30 in Liege so there would be enought time for it to be sent onwards to Basel Friday morning (5:15).
