If the airplanes that contain our Macs fly from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), then we may be getting our Macs a little earlier than stated on Apple's website.

There are a few Lufthansa Cargo flights on the weekend:

It goes to Leipzig, then to Eindhoven and back to Berlin? Noooooooo!
 
While my MacBook has shipped yesterday, I still have not been charged. ;)
My MacBook Pro is also listed as shipped, also haven't been charged. I had this happen with my Apple Watch order earlier in the year. Had the watch for about 5 days before they finally charged me. Don't worry, they won't forget about you. The urge to close bank accounts and flee to another bank is real ;)

I am not worried. Indeed, I think it is correct to charge my after I got my shipment - at least when it takes so long.
 
I will not check my shipment status and read in this forum anymore!

Ok - I'll check back in 5 minutes. This is so time wasting, but I really need my MacBook to go on with the work. So bad...
 
Hello altogether,

Thought I'd finally chime in as well, even though I have no news to bear.
I ordered 15" maxed out apart from SSD, just 1 TB there.
Ordered about 10mins after the store went back online and switched to shipped yesterday about 2.30pm.
Shipping via DHL Express, with the Eindhoven stuff just like the rest here.

Best wishes from Austria
Philipp :)

It is but I already watched the unboxing videos... You know... from the people that already have their MacBooks... Where did they come from?

Yeah, it's pretty standard (I think) to not charge until the order is on the way. I found my watch experience weird enough to call into my local Apple Store when it arrived. Like I said, I didn't get charged until after it had arrived. Was a weird feeling wearing something without being charged for it.

Hopefully there won't be a repeat of that. Having a MacBook Pro charge looming would be more hassle than it's worth IMO.

No, definitely not :p But the icelandic team and their supporters are gorgeous!!!

No, I am a german having lived around the world and ended up in Norway :) It's a wonderful country to live in. Apart from not having an Apple-store and being quite expensive... :D

I am really jealous of you hahaha living the jet setting life hahaha I am sure they are gorgeous not necessarily my area of attraction but absolutely I only know swear words in Norwegian so I won't say anything haha:)

The Icelandic team were fantastic though! ALMOST wanted them to win;)

What do these numbers mean?
 
I'm getting pretty frustrated with UPS.. according to tracking the macbook has now been at the Shanghai for 48 hours after processing. I have no clue why this takes so long and if customs is different for EU desitnations than for US destinations or something... And if the same is true for DHL shipments..

I think they picked up the MBP from the factory and transported it to the airport.
Our laptops where too late for the flight UPS81 yesterday.
Probably the laptop for The Netherlands will go from Shanghai -> Anchorage -> Louisville -> Köln.
And from there by road Köln -> Herne -> Eindhoven.
Got an export scan at Shanghai today, hopefully that means our laptops left China .

Still processing here :p (28th - 5th delivery)
I can't check to see if the order had been charged or not, but I haven't had any indication payment hasn't been sucessful if Apple has tried to charge my card.

I take it if there is something wrong they'll send an email? Or does it only come up on the order status page?

You can ask CS about your status.

I think the route is shanghai - incheon - almaty - cologne.
At least, that is what i see a lot. Next to that, I also see that after the export scan, a departure scan needs to be made before the macbook boards the plane.
