Same situation here,
Ordered max out version but with 4TB and as of now it went from Thursday Nov 4 delivery to “check back tomorrow…” and in the details it states “on the way”… the delivery is for California. Now we wait!
Anyone else waiting from California?
Side note: my friend in India received hers 3 days ago (we ordered it at the same time).

My package went from date to "check back tomorrow" like six times (six days, that is).
I did, it's such a beast. Unfortunately I'm at the tail-end of the UPS driver so only ended up getting it at around 5PM but hey, that's better than nothing!
The battery life is insane...
I've not charged this laptop once yet.
Mine now shows: it cleared custom in China, then went to Korea, then to Anchorage Alaska (where we gained back one day due to time change), and this morning arrived in Louisville Kentucky. Interestingly enough the tracking says that estimated delivery is still today November 4th by 6pm. I doubt it, as I’m in California but perhaps still possible. Will update! Almost guys!
Nice! My MBP is still sitting with many others in ZhengZhou, China since 10/29. Hopefully there's an update soon...
Mine started in Shangai on 10/30. Seems it will be delivered tomorrow 11/5. Shows it left Kentucky. Still ahead of Apple predicted time.
We ordered two of the new MBPs on the same day — weirdly one shipped via FedEx, and the other by UPS. Both had the same estimated delivery date, and both shipped from Shanghai. We're in the Boston area.
The FedEx one shipped the 24th, and arrived on the 27th; it traveled through Osaka and Memphis along the way. Tracking updated with every stop.
The UPS one shipped on the 25th, sat in a tracking black hole in Shanghai until the 29th, and then flew to Anchorage and then Louisville. It then sat in Louisville for a day, took two days to continue to Hartford (presumably by ground), and then was delivered late the same day (11/1).
Both beat Apple's original estimates, but what a difference between the two.

mine was shipped with some weird carrier I have never heard of deliver-it. I hear nothing but bad reviews. I hope it arrives in one piece if at all. disappointed because they don't even have my gate info .
Slowly tired from this UPS ********…
Since 30.11.2021 in Cologne and still no updates or a new delivery date…
Thank you for nothing!!!

I need it for work and it should be at my place originally on the 25th… I think I had already enough patience… The worst part of the whole situation is that UPS can't even tell me what's going on and when it's going to get to me.
Current situation...WITHOUT mechanical issues.
If you're trading in your current computer the trade-in kit arrives earlier than 14 days before your new MBP - even if the two are shipped out "together". That's because the MBP is shipped from China while the trade-in kit is shipped from within your country.
Remember, IF YOUR TRADE-IN IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF THE KIT ARRIVING, YOU LOSE 100% OF THE VALUE.
This means you have to give up your current computer and wait indefinitely for the one you spent a fortune on while UPS changes your expected delivery date daily.
TIP: When the trade-in kit arrives, DO NOT ACCEPT DELIVERY until the MBP arrives. THEN go pick up the trade-in kit.
Consider yourself warned.
You're welcome.

In the meantime, there is also news in my situation.
After I have called UPS twice again today, each time I was told a different nonsense,
I was fed up and have contacted Apple. The employee put me on hold and then contacted the UPS contact who is responsible for Apple. It turned out that the employees were apparently unable to scan the shipment and have not passed this on to the shift manager. I was assured that the shipment will leave the UPS center on Monday at the latest and should not arrive later than Wednesday.
The Apple employee was audibly shocked by the behavior...
Has apologized and also sent me an Apple gift card as a small compensation via mail.
So if you have problems, do not hesitate to call Apple directly!
If I had not done that, I probably would have had to wait weeks.

Ordered M1Max 16” 64GB 2TB in October to London, latest update Jan 6 week onwards, but “not processed” yet… this is beyond a joke for customised… 5 months potentially to wait
