Shipment information received EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE 13:20


This is all i'm seeing but my MacBook is already in Amsterdam?! Regretting getting it shipped to the store now :/ everybody who's getting it shipped home is getting it this week or tomorrow or already has it but mine is due for the 29th according to Apple, and by the looks of things from the DHL not before Christmas. Anyone any idea what the hold up could be?

Don't worry mate. Mine is being shipped to home and I'm in exactly the same boat. Estimated 29th. It's in the same shipment as yours.

That does make me feel better that i'm not the only one - though sad for you too since we both have to wait :( Hopefully it'll update tonight and get shipped tomorrow! Where are you getting it delivered to?

London. From looking at some of the previous housebill tracking numbers we might get out of Amsterdam tomorrow and then delivery Friday. Failing that it'll be after xmas. But before 29th for sure!

I'm in the same boat as both of you guys. Nothing on DHL but Apple seems to think it's in AMS (going from the guide to shipments someone kindly put up here) but I have nothing concrete to say my Mac has got anywhere!
Really frustrated as I go away tomorrow night and of course it's being delivered on Friday now (probably), either way - definitely not tomorrow! :/ I'll be back on the 29th so I'll have to wait now.
Either way I hope you guys get yours on Friday!
 
Some MacBook that arrived today from China with CK203 have left Amsterdam. Especially mine

Please check in priority the status in Apple website, much more accurate than DHL website (oddly)

Really??
I don't think I'm one of the lucky ones then, doesn't it say something about 'final handover' if it's about to leave Amsterdam? Mine just says 'In Transit to Customer- Shipment on Schedule'

Could be that all the ones to the UK will be leaving together?

This is the message I got before 11pm CET on Apple website ( see post 7388)
I'm now on the next step, but you should pass through the next step during the night , and I hope like all my English friends... the DHL rep told me that they usually "re-ship " within the night of arrival.
Cross finger for you
 
According to Apple my MacBook is in this shipment
It arrived in AMS. Check out the tracking status explanation below:

15. Shipment Delivered
This always seems to be around 45 minutes after step 14, and it’s the end of the air cargo journey.

14. Out for Delivery
I assume this means its on its way to the DHL hub in AMS, but it doesn’t always seem to be the case.

13. Documents Recovered
Not always shown, and not sure it’s that important or useful.

12. Data Recovered
Not always shown, and not sure it’s that important or useful.

11. Recovered at Destination Airport
Matches step 9. DHL has taken the goods off the airline now. You may also see “Sent to customs” and “Customs cleared” that match this time.

You’re going to get an updated delivery time on your DHL tracking very shortly, and right after that, you’ll reach step 2 on your DHL tracking, namely, “Processed at AMS”.

10. Arrived at Destination Airport
Matches step 8.

9. Recovered
Matches step 11.

8. Carrier: Arrived
Cargo airline adds confirmation that the plane landed. Matches step 10.

7. Carrier: Departed
Cargo airline adds confirmation that the plane departed.

6. Departed DHL Hub
Goods left DHL’s warehouse at PVG and are on their way to be loaded on the plane.

5. Manifested for Carriage
DHL has received clearance to put your goods on a plane. You’ll have a flight number now.

4. Received at Origin
DHL has dropped your MBP off at Shanghai.

3. Shipment Pickup
DHL has picked up your MBP from Apple.

2. Estimated Delivery
When DHL Air Cargo expects to have this handed over and processed at DHL AMS hub.

1. Shipment Entered Into System
Matches the date/time you see on your DHL tracking link.

That's really interesting, thanks for the information, thanks! I really hope so too! It would be so awesome to get it tomorrow!
 
Hello people :)
Some news of your deliveries?

Mine is 100km from my place ...looks good
Keep you informed

Long travel : China, Amsterdam, Leipzig, Lyon, my place ...
Interesting to see such an effective organisation if this express carriers...often wasted by the incompetence or laziness of the local driver (some are terrible in my city:mad:, though "my" UPS guy is perfect)

Hello people :)
Some news of your deliveries?
Nothing new here. Well, Apple's order status changed to "In Transit to Customer- Shipment on Schedule (December 22, 2016)" yesterday, but DHL tracker status is still in "Shipment information received". So I'm sceptical that I will receive my package before Christmas. Maybe they forgot my package on the airplane, so it's now heading back to Shanghai? :eek:

Anyway, hope that others have some better news.

Received my replacement unit in 3 business days directly from China (UPS Worldwide Express).
Was yours BTO or stock, and when did you return it? I'm on my 3rd week waiting for a replacement, it was supposed to arrive this week, but they pushed me back to January.

Did you receive it yet ?? :)
I sill don't have any tracking number ... FML. The apple guy said he didn't know yet which company would deliver my shipment. Might even be TNT (I seriously hope not, they are aweful). My only luck would be to receive it tomorrow when the cleaning lady is at home in the morning... otherwise I hope it arrives after Christmas on the 27th.
Let us know how you like your MBP! I'm coming from MBP 2011 and currently MB 2009 so I'm really excited !
 
Delivered 5 minutes ago!

DHL Express also delivered my AirPods today.. When that guy came only with one parcel in his hands, i asked him something like "That's it? No second parcel?" And he was like "no".

5 minutes later he comes back and brings the other one lmao
 
Mine is also here.

I'm transferring over from my other one now, and preparing to send the previous one back.
[doublepost=1482412519][/doublepost]I've noticed this new one has a slightly lose touchid button :(. Not sure what to do right now.
