Asking this again. Not sure if anyone knows.

Anyone that is in PTS mode as of today, does that mean most likely you will have it Tuesday?
99% sure you will have it on Tuesday. We are hoping to see an activity today or tomorrow. If not Monday is a big day for us as Apple will be overnighting our 💻
 
Yes true, and in my case these express shipping stuff through Apple have been sometimes delivered through Fedex as well.

Yeah, my eggs on this been dispatched through US. Honestly, unless we see scans today, it'll be hard to get it to US from China by Tuesday. But fingers crossed.
No doubt. Ugh, that GUT WRENCHING MOMENT WHEN UPS MY CHOICE SENDS YOU A TEXT, you’re thrilled beyond belief aaaaaaand it’s for some dumb “wellness” package we are getting soon. I don’t need wellness… wellness will be had once this MBP arrives ?
 
You are going to have ten returns and purchases by next month, they can start selling refurb M1 Pros early.
Apple is not cheap. If you are not happy with what you order. No problem returning and getting exactly what you want. Perhaps, during pre-order Apple should flag which color you want and not set it up as default 😂 it’s the little things that ends up becoming bigger problem. But I’m not 100% I may keep the space gray. Just depends on how it looks. Maybe silver color might be too lighter shade for me. I’m a Gemini so I’m very indecisive 😂 can’t decide. Watch, tomorrow I’ll be saying I want to keep the space gray. Sometimes I don’t even trust myself.

You are supposed to be flexible too, so buy both and choose whichever one you want to use by day. Man if they released these in the iMac colours you would be ruined.

Remember though that there is an environmental cost with all of these things.

That’s very true. Well, I’ve been flexible. Apple is lucky I didn’t order 5 💻 lol just kidding. I guess I’ll find out on Tuesday which one I want to keep. It’s hard to choose when you don’t see the product yourself in real life. Also, there is a reason Apple gives us 14 days to decide. Trust me Apple is not losing a single dollar they are earning money. Also if I do return and re-purchase it. In the financial spreadsheet it’s going to show up as another sale. So, technically I am helping out Apple. Stocks will go up… shareholders will be happy and Tim Cook will be happy again, 😂

Nah, Depending on the return reasoning Apple uses different ways to make $$$. They know what they are doing and they have no problem with it. Apple have saved plenty of money by getting rid of the chargers and reducing the packaging on an iPhone and, Apple Watch now.

If they want this earth to turn like Mars (extremely environmental family) yeah! That’s not going to work.

This is exactly why I just got the 32GB 32 core GPU even though it cost more than I would have liked, I knew if I got anything less I'd end up in this situation. Space gray all the way though, the silver just doesn't look good to me

I would normally have gone the refurb route and waited a few months before swapping MBPs, but this 2019 is too ass for work purposes.

Have to disagree here. Apple doesn’t want people ordering one of each and then choosing the one they like. The more people abuse this, the more likely the generous return policy goes away.

Anyway, my Oct. 26 delivery still hasn’t shipped.

I agree with you 100% space gray all the way! But few months from today I don’t want to see nicks and marks. I think silver hides them very well? What do you think? I watched the video and it turned me off. So I was like alright… silver it is 😂

It’s not an abuse. After spending $3000 as a customer you have a full right to get what you want. If you are not happy with it return it or exchange it. Apple does honor that with no questions asked within 14 days. There is a reason why they do that because they want you to be happy and stay loyal to the brand.

I’ve had space gray or similar predecessor colors for over a decade and have never seen a nick on any of them.

It’s absolutely an abuse, no matter how much the offenders protest. And those of us who don’t do this get to pay for it. Apple certainly doesn’t eat the cost.

Cars cost a hell of a lot more than MBPs. Try returning two extra cars.

Same but the new M1 Pro or Pro max chip alone worth an upgrade, plus the battery life, promotion, all the port slots, bigger screen. Not worth getting a refurb over this 😆

Uh you also forgot to mention the polishing cloth that they no longer give to you with your purchase but force you to shell out $19 BIG ONES on!

(😂)

We’ll have to wait till Monday to know for sure but seeing as many orders from a few days late October and first week of November being pushed, I think Apple played it safe with rough delivery estimates and we might getting them on the 26th or a few days later.

Gotta say, it’s very exciting to see an initial late estimate and suddenly getting the product delivered way earlier ??
