Macbook Pro 15" (512GB / 16GB / 460) arrived this morning.
Everything seems ok

On one hand, I think it’s kind of amazing how my BTO MBP is flying all over the world to get here and be able to follow its every step (with tracking and flight radars and what not). From China over US to EU, visiting a probable amount of seven (!) airports in total. That’s likely six planes, at least two trucks and one van. All because I “need/want” a silly RAM and SSD upgrade. I don’t know if this is the kind of Apple that I want to be supporting in the future. Just a thought.
I already received an invitation for personal setup for a Macbook I don't even have yet

I think Apple sends all MacBooks from Shanghai whether they are BTO or not until the supply situation has declined.

Wow, that's a lot! How were you able to track all these airports? Mine just went from Shanghai to Amsterdam (1 flight) and from there on the street on a truck.

A bit jealous of you guys getting yours today but enjoy it nonethless
Called DHL to find why tracker isn't updating only to for then to tell me they haven't received my package from Apple. Kind of stupid considering it's been over 2 days since I got a notification it was shipped. About to call apple and vent
So fair play to Apple and DHL. Ordered 31st Oct, Origional Esitmate 6-12Dec. Shipment notification on Saturday at 2pm
It has just been delivered today! This will be a long afternoon waiting to get home at 5 !

Have you received some updates from DHL? Has it already been delivered?
I haven't received any status updates so far on my DHL page despite from "Shipment information received"
[doublepost=1480505452][/doublepost]
Wow, that's great news! Have fun!
My Order was shipped today
I have a TNT tracking number with 11 digits, but TNT says the number must be 9 digits.
Anyone got an idea how to track my order?

Wow I must be really unlucky! Ordered same day, got Shipment information received at the same time as you and no updates for me!
Nice to hear that yours has arrived!Dispatched for an 8th-14th window on my 13"/512/16/SG - no tracking info as yet though. Looks like I'll have it by the beginning of the estimate at worst though
EDIT: It's with DHL for an estimated delivery on the 7th - no location as yet so I presume still in China. Have DHL been beating first estimates...?

Bloody useless TNT Norway!!! Their website and application both say it'll be delivered today by 18:00. I ring to confirm it will be there by then (as I don't want to wait at the office if I don't have to) and she says no it would be 16:00. But not today. Tomorrow as it's been passed onto their subcontractor and I can't even call to the TNT depot to pick it up. How do big global companies have these sorts of failures? If your app and website says 18:00 today but that'll never be the case cos they don't deliver after 16:00 ever, plus a days delay in delivery due to using a subcontractor, wouldn't it make sense to update your system to reflect this? Rather miffed right now.
Rant over...

Mine was in Eindhoven 9min after yours and I still have step 1 "Shipment information received" EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE 13:52
:/
Any ideas what's going on?

I have the same exact configuration and estimated delivery day (although it changed to dispatched yesterday). I think they might be in the same flight, but I tried every housebill number from 7CP3000+ on the DHL site and there's no recent flights to AMS...

Seeing them pop up on my UPS track report (5 airports up to now), and estimating the minimum amount necessary from there to actually get where it is going. Using flightstats.com to look for UPS flights and timings.
Shipment information was only recieved in Eindhoven, meaning it was still sat in Shanghai. Check apple order status to see what that says its up to. Check back on page 204 for all the dispatch steps

you are so lucky
but there is a huge difference in delivery times it seems. You received it today after probably 72 hours and mine has been sent out on Monday and still not moved and estimated delivery date is next Monday. :/
Same here, in Basel.

I'm in the exact same situation. Received DHL tracking number on 27.11 and still the only thing I see is "Shipment information received EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE 13:52".
Seeing that first people in the same delivery window already received their Macbook today, I called DHL and response is the same that for you: They don't have the package yet.
If you are in contact with Apple, I would be interested to know what they say.
Maybe they dropped one crate into the Baltic sea on their way...
Tomorrow is possible, if it clears customs and is delivered to DHL by 6pm today.
[doublepost=1480511117][/doublepost]
When you call DHL, you're not calling with info about the cargo flight. DHL AMS does indeed not have the package yet if you're on step 1 of your tracker. It's sitting somewhere on a Chinese cargo flight, or in a holding bay while it gets clearance from customs. Only then, will it get delivered to DHL AMS and if you called they would say "we have it!"
Not every MBP is going the same direction, is made at the same time, is made with the same configuration, or is shipped with the same flight. Your delivery window means nothing because it was based on Apple's rough estimations when they would get to building your machine, and the schedule of air cargo flights out of PVG etc.
72 hours have not passed, and as my guide (in sig) states, there's nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the clarification mate.
I read your quide and correlated apple delivery status to departing flights from PVG and I'm quite sure my order landed to AMS yesterday morning. I thought we should get update to DHL tracking within 48h like most people here that I've seen. Good to know 72h is normal, although we are just now getting past that point. I guess I will see something happen very soon.
BTW. Thank you for the very comprehensive guide!
I am probably asking the same question too but does any of you guys know when this package should probably be delivered? Do we have a chance for this friday?
