MacBook Pro Shipments Being Delayed Due to UPS 'Mechanical' Issues

Terrible hypo. In this case, UPS has more than one plane. I don't think anyone is saying anyone's life is worth getting a computer earlier. UPS is not a small company and to think they don't have one extra plane laying around to replace the issue is unreasonable. Comparing complaints about this to hipsters after a suicide is silly.
You are welcome wish I were in the market these machines look awesome but now I am retired my early 2019late 2018 MacBook 15 is plenty good for me I tend to use my iphones and ipad pro’s a lot more so hard to justify almost $3K on a new one. Maybe in two more years I tend to update my mac’s about every 4-5 years.
This is exactly my tracking as well. My last “tracking” point was also that 1:17am on the 27th. We will see what happens but not holding my breath.
Ditto.
UPS blamed... China virus shutdown... COVID/flights/pilots (can't say it)... China Golden Week holiday...
Sadly our stuff was not put on the flight leaving PVG-NRT-ANC-SDF…
Question for those 1:16-1:18 stuck… are you all in Canada?
Question for those 1:16-1:18 stuck… are you all in Canada?
I am in Calgary. Canadians got the shaft by not being offered expedited shipping on these MBP.
Nope, I'm US Southeast. North Carolina. No change either. Still 1:18 last update. Still check back tomorrow for Delivery (since Monday night).
Mine left Alaska this morning, still no delivery date. Now the real question is does UPS Worldwide Expedited use UPS ground or Air after it gets to the USA?
They will likely use air. I think what's going to happen is it's going to arrive to Louisville today/early AM tomorrow to get on a jet that leaves Louisville to your city. I think you might be able to get your laptop tomorrow if you're lucky, Monday at the latest.
Good luck!
I guess our ones still behind the line. I am currently living in Florida ?
I hope yours and mine arrive earlier.
Could you let me know if there any updates on your shipment?
I‘m guessing for whatever reason, @effraxofwug was likely in different container and had a chance to leave Shanghai. But considering a lot of us in November 3-5 group see same scan otherwise, I’m getting a feeling that we will finally see movement today or maybe Saturday at the latest. I placed an order as soon as pre-order started, but I guess how different BTOs were put together was not as in orderly fashion, which explains why some got luckier. But let’s keep our fingers crossed team November!
Same boat as you with the same last scan timestamp. I've heard others who ordered after us have had their laptop shipped from Shanghai.
Looks like these units probably won't be making it to us.
I figure they are lost or destroyed. I plan to call my Apple Business Rep today.
Could you kindly let us know on the forum? I really hope this is not the case…
I reached out to my rep as well and will report back.
I'm interested in what the rep(s) have to say. I reached out to UPS but they could not provide me with any useful information.
I wonder if we can convince Apple to allow for Saturday delivery (provided they get out of Shanghai today)? Its probably too late to add that tho...
I just got off the phone with my Business Rep and they have no access to consumer orders so he can't check on mine. He did say that they are shipping hundreds of thousands of Macs right now and delays are going to happen, but this one seems much longer than usual.
My 14" was a consumer order rather than business since I had a $500 consumer credit available.
