MacBook Pro Late 2016 EU shipping

LaFrentz said:
We'll be on the same flight (destination Bavaria, Germany). Although the status is shipped now, the mail I received due to the delay told me it will ship Dec 15 (tomorrow). Same information on the homepage: it says shipped Dec 15th. We do already have the DHL tracking number but this will only work once DHL has picked up the box (tomorrow). Let's cross fingers for Saturday but I have not high hopes. It will most likely arrive Monday.

I think it's already flying, when they say 15/12 I think it's Chinese time, remember that the time zone in China is +7 hours, so since 5pm (17:00) Spanish time that it's been 15/12 for them. I hope it's that cause in my status they say mine has dispatched 14/12

I think you have no reason to worry. We had ordered 2-3 weeks before you. Seems like your order is well on track.

True, but there have been orders after mine that have been shipped. I don't know how Apple work, but am hoping we all come under the same batch!

Guess you're right. Didn't thought about the local time in China.

Ordered Nov 5. So it took a little more than the estimated 4-5 weeks...

I can't belive, people who ordered in December are getting their macbooks, and I ordered it on November 2nd and still processing.

After calling Apple Store support, they told me just to wait. :(

15"/2.9/1TB/460
 
Got my dispatch notification at 11pm last night, so it was in Prepare for Dispatch for about a day. My tracking with DHL started working around 7am this morning with the:

1 Shipment information received EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE 12:14

My waybill starts 9655. I guess it's a waiting game for it to fly/land.

EDIT:

Curiosity got the better of me so I started looking at jonyiveswhiteroom's technique. I couldn't see anything relevant on the house bills thing so I looked at some flights from Shanghai. Does anyone know if they fly specifically on DHL planes or if the packages go on other carriers? The reason I ask is that there are two flights to Amsterdam from Shanghai in the air.

Same configuration here. Space grey.

Ordered on the 10th of November and after 8 days of having the amount preauthorised on my cc, it moved to preparing for dispatch yesterday.

Sad to see a lot of people got it earlier and those who ordered later got it before we did. Happy for them though! ;)

They seem to be working well out of the order in which orders were placed. I've been trying to spot patterns and it seems to be the higher end SSDs and the 2.9 processors are slower. I guess the batches are less frequent. Sadly, you have both. I ordered on the 7th and it went P4S on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, on those time frames you aren't behind yet. Maybe you'll see some movement at the end of the week. The last week of waiting is the worst for sure though. Fingers crossed you see an update soon.

I was looking for historical DHL flights from Shanghai, but found none. Therefore I believe they might send it with other carriers, and then DHL picks it up in Eindhoven.

Just to save other people in the EU time, there appear to be three flights from PVG (Shanghai) to Amsterdam today landing at:
0520 (took off at 0032 Shanghai time)
1300 (took off at 0757 Shanghai time)
1740 (took off at 1252 Shanghai time)

The 1300 flight is a possible for my machine, but the 1740 seems a bit more likely given the DHL time stamp was 0014 this morning.

That's my feeling too, and that MacOS 10.12.2 resolves some of the issues, so it might be they slowed down deliveries to include the new version of MacOS and reduce the noise from people complaining about graphics and battery problems.

Mine just switched to "Shipping to Store" 24 hours after "Preparing for Dispatch". Pick up moved from the 22nd to the 21st of December. So there goes my dream of an early delivery before going away this Saturday :) See you in the new year MacBook Pro.

Order: 10th of November
Specs: 15/2.9/1TB/460/Space Grey
CC Pre authorised: 6th December
P4S: 14th December
Dispatch: 15th December
Original pick up date: 22nd December moved to 21st of December
Ship to Store. London.
