I really hope it will be shipped soon for you. My current MBP is also from 2012. It still works, but Apple Care is nearly due so I need a new one. And I loved the new MacBook as soon as it was introduced. 7 more days, then it's here. (I am wondering why the heck it takes 7 days to ship something from Eindhoven to Groningen.)
I had an unfortunate incident where my early 2011 MacBook Pro was accidentally murdered 4 weeks ago. It's amazing how long a delivery process seems when you're laptopless. Please be less than 7 days!!!

Pryvit! Yak ti? That's like the little Ukrainian I know haha
Hahahaha no i guessed from your Name my ex girlfriend of 3 years was Korean and I had an amazing holiday in Korea 2 and a bit years ago! One of my favourite countries

Annyeong haseyo;) u can add me on KakaoTalk if u want haha
 
I've ordered from Chinese factories before (Guangzhou) and it normally ships to HK then to Cologne and then to East Midlands, UK and is at my door within 24 hours all via DHL. Never had an issue with this before.

My guess is that Apple have chartered a cargo plane to dump pallets of MBP's on to fly to Europe somewhere and then split them up to ship.

Annoying really - and pretty disappointing that they've yet again prioritised USA over Europe. They jack the prices up and then hang up out to dry with delays.

Status on the apple site is weird....
This morning it said "verzonden" "onderweg naar klant" (shipped) (on route to client).. now it just says "shipped", like it was yesterday just after changing from p4s to shipped..

Maybe something is wrong with the DHL system, like Maxim was told in a chat...

haha that's really nice to hear, the holiday bit not the ex bit :) I'm more of a whatsapp guy than a kakaotalk guy but feel free to add me on whatsapp just PM me your details and I'll add. Always nice to grow a network of like minded people across the continent. Kinda jealous of all the posts here receiving orders though. I've cancelled my initial order and was lurking to see the initial reactions and well the more I lurk the more it seems I'll be waiting for the next update cycle..

Ahahah, It's "funny" to see the differences between americans and europeans.

On the other thread I just quickly talked to someone in french and they became crazy about it. They even reported me to the moderation (who deleted my posts). Here, it became an interesting talk :D
They're probably having enough problems diciphering how Trump got elected, never mind seeing a different language!

For others who have ordered two or more items for the same shipment...

https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2056396590

a short explanatory post about merged deliveries.

Thanks a lot for this tip. I have inserted my reference number on the expeditors website and found something.
Apparently my Macbook is waiting on a plane from Shanghai to Frankfurt and then on to Prague...
Requested Delivery Date is 21-Nov but not sure what that means? The parcel arrives in Prague on 21-Nov? That means from there to Germany another 2-3 days...? I need this thing to arrive at final destination by the 25th otherwise I won't be able to pick it up before Christmas.

Does anyone have any experience?

Once it arrives in Prague and is merged, shipping will be super quick so i wouldnt worry about it too much

Ok, let's hope the merger doesn't delay this. I wasn't paying attention when I ordered and didn't know that ordering cable and MBP on the same shipment might cause delays.

This MBP is so smart, it takes the train lol. And we both know how well the trains run around here :p

It's possible that it'll arrive earlier if they fly our macs to NL on the weekend or at the beginning of next week
