I'm in your same case. No movements since Friday (Shipment dispatched)



Your "Shipped" date? When change to "Shipment dispatched"?
I ordered Nov 3, estimated delivery was Dec 12-15. Then it was dispatched and charged Nov 28, and estimated delivery changed to Dec 7.

Congrats, but my order still lost. I ordered it on 1st November but the estimated deliver date is the SAME (12-15 Dec) Apple charge my CC, change to PFS and change to "Shipped" on 29th Nov. Then, on 2nd Dec. they change my order status in Apple web to "Shipment dispatched", but DHL order was created on 30. Nov and since this moment I haven't movements.

The est deliver date still on 12th Dec. I don't know why you receive the MacBook Pro early if you ordered it later.


Please, Apple, GIVE ME NOW MY MBP.
 
You are from Germany, too? Which State?

Hope it will show a update very soon. I don't think it is still in Shanghai, so it has to be in Amsterdam at least.
I can't stay at home the whole day just waiting for the DHL deliveryman, because there are no tracking information... :(

Same here. Shipment notification on 30.11. and delivery estimated 6.12. but nothing changed from then.
As you did, i called dhl-support who confirmed not beeing able to pick up the package due to missing order.
Apple-support said it is still in Shanghai. I would have to wait likely till end of this week. If the packages hit european ground they will be trackable. He also said i was the third today calling due to this.
So, seems to be a long week from now on.

Well, I don't think I'm getting it on the 7th, I still don't have any tracking number, don't even know wich carrier company I have :S. And tomorrow is Holidays in Spain so carrier companies won't be working...

Also, I don't know if this change anything, but I ordered also and extended power cable, and I'm not sure if this will delay my delivery, because under my status there's a message saying "Please note that your order will come from different stores and that we must gather it before sending it to you. Once we have everything, we will update the order status and tracking data (at least 48 hours before the approximate delivery on weekdays)."

Maybe they send the macbook from a different place than the power cable and they have to put it together and then send it to me... Geez.. I'd shouldn't ordered them together, I'd should just buy the power cable in the Apple store next to my house.

Yes, I think that Apple had a problem with shipments ordered on 30. Nov. All of this will be delayed to the next week. This is the cause of my estimated deliver date is 12th Dec.
 
I've ordered mine from an Apple Authorised Reseller on the 4th of November (13 inch 16gig ram touch bar) and I only got a "Proposal Number" from them. Since I do not have a tracking number, is there any way to get one?
Probably this is just a local order number. My reseller can't give me any information. I had no idea that this was such a terrible system. Definitely much better to order from Apple direct

Well might as well throw my experience so far I'm in uk and yep my order was dispatched on the 30th last apple updates has done all the in transit and last one was shipment dispatched on friday the 2nd herd nothing since then no updates on Dhl since Wednesday 30th which was just shipment information received deliver date is this Wednesday (7th) contacted apples on the 3rd they said all seems fine to be on time but now starting to doubt things

The thing is that they DO (kind of sort of) have the Tracking Number because from what I know they receive the order just like anybody else that orders directly from Apple via DHLS, AMS, TNT etc..

Here in Romania, there is no official Apple Store so no luck on getting the device directly from them. However, I am starting to suspect a lack of transparency from iStyle most likely generated by their ignorance.

My 2011 MBP broke down so I've been without a Mac (or PC for that matter) sin the 30th of October....
 
hey guys, I always read that people who ordered in the first days of Nov saw first status changes in the end of Nov. I ordered Nov 6 and I dont't see any change. Delivery scheduled for 12-16 Dec in Germany. Is this normal? I mean the delivery seems to take more than a week or so. Will I get it on time?
 
GOOD NEWS. My Apple Status has change to "Preparing handover to final carrier", but deliver date still on 12th.
What was your previous status? I've had P4S, shipment dispatched and now in transit to customer shipment on schedule"
 
Thanks for the Information. Same here now. So our MacBooks seem to be in Amsterdam Right now?
Yes, the MacBook Pro is now in Amsterdam waiting to be clear in customs. When the package pass customs, we'll see movements in DHL tracking and we'll see "Received in Amsterdam"

All right. My carrier is "Syncreon NL" shipping to Denmark. Has anyone been shipped with same carrier? And were you able to track it?
 
Has anyone recieved a 13" touch bar, i7, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd yet? Ordered one 28th November via Macforum in Sweden, still no news :/

Edit: Reseller Dustin in Sweden has changed date on almost all Macbook Pros to 2017-01-31 (earlier 2016-12-20)
I ordered my rMB two years ago through Dustin, but they had the same problems as a 3rd party distributor - if you are ordering online anyway, there is no reason not to order directly from Apple. I learned the hard way. I ended up having to cancel my Dustin order on the rMB and order directly from Apple because orders keep getting pushed back again and again - ended up getting it 2 weeks earlier than anybody who revered from Dustin around the same dates as I did...

This time around I ordered the 15" BTO MBP in my signature directly from Apple and know that it will arrive when they say or sooner :) - Was at the Nordstan MacForum last Thursday to see if they had any new 15" models to play around with, but was disappointed they didn't have any display machines yet...

I ordered this one on the 22nd and had an original 5-6 week delivery time, but have already had that moved down to only 4-5 weeks and hope that my early window date of the 22nd of December holds. Would be a nice Xmas surprise :)
 
just called apple and asked if there is any possibility to get orders (28.12.-3.1.) before xmas, and they said no. then i asked why do they deliver devices to stores while customers are waiting to get their orders... "because they comes from china" - ehm.. dont them all comes from china?? i dont understand...

iStyle order from APCOM. APCOM have exclusive distributor rights for Romania and Bulgaria.
 
Looks like delivery to Europe now more organized then to US.

3/12 - Apple Status: PFS.
3/12 - Apple Status: Moved to Shipped by EOD.
4/12 - Picked up and delivered to Airport by DHL in China. - Apple Status: In Transit to Customer- Shipment on Schedule
5/12 - Left China with China Cargo (CK205) - CK205 Cargo leaving China every day at 9:30am and getting to Amsterdam around 16:00. - Apple Status: Shipment dispatched.

Another interesting issue. If you getting into the weekend and your DHL tracking number is not working (showing error) wait till Monday, it will start working by midday.

FYI @jonyiveswhiteroom maybe this info can me useful for your guide. thanks btw. :)

Something that can also be added to guide, from my experience:
1. Factory working 24/7.
2. Factory logistic working 24/7.
3. DHL and Customs in China working 24/7.

So there are no delays for dispatch from China.

This is great news! - one question, how can i see this level of detail of my order? :)
 
GOOD NEWS. My Apple Status has change to "Preparing handover to final carrier", but deliver date still on 12th.

Same for me. I called apple 2 hours ago, the guy told me dhl hadn't. picked up the parcel. I just checked on apple website, my status has changed. Delivery date still on 7th
