With a delivery date of November 2-9, should I expect it to be earlier or later in that range?

I am surprised you aren't seeing any movement.

Mine was slated for November 3-5 (16" 64GB Pro Max 1TB) and it's already in READY TO SHIP and hopefully by the end of tonight it should actually ship for POSSIBLE Tuesday delivery. If not Tuesday, certainly by the end of next week ahead of schedule.
 
Sharing my order experience in the event it will help someone else.

I ordered 16" M1 Max base model with delivery on October 26th.

The entire time my order has been in processing with no movement. I called Apple and requested this be looked at further and they 'escalated' the case.

I heard back this afternoon from a supervisor and they advised me I will be receive a shipment confirmation tomorrow. They stated the device will be overnighted and I will receive it on the 26th.

I like your thinking. Would love to see anything ahead of schedule. I’m not asking for Tuesday. I just need it by the end of this week (Fri)! Hopefully us Nov 3-5 folks stick together and get bumped into this week!
 
Yay! A little movement. It’s something! Everything will work itself out just fine :)

So, this confirms we may not receive a shipment confirmation today?

Hard to say for certain, but the fact you are at ready for shipping means that shipment is imminent and it's generally overnight to 3 days. So, yeah, I would almost guarantee you will have it by the end of the upcoming week.
 
I've spoken to someone with knowledge on this matter. They are all on pallets until they get to Louisville and clear customs. The pallets have a tracking number, but so do all of the packages that are on that pallet. When that pallet tracking number is scanned, it updates all of the packages individual tracking numbers within the pallet. Logistically, it would be a nightmare to scan single packages.
This is 100% correct. If you look at the tracking detail for the packages in the system, they indicate that they are UPS World Ease packages. World Ease is exactly that - a collection of packages on a pallet that clear customs together and then are broken up and distributed after clearance.

I also am curious as to why you ordered a second Magsafe charger. You know one is included with your MBP, right?

How come you ordered a second charging set?

Ahhh, you are right. It’s the same Watts too. I thought it didn’t come with it so I ordered it. Pre-ordering day was pure madness for me. I lost it all. Didn’t have enough time to properly research it😂

I wonder why it’s back-ordered till November.

Listen, not a bad thing. Just go to your order and cancel it. No harm done. No charges yet.

You do get a Magsafe charger with your MBP. Apple doesn't make that clear as they call it a USB-C charger because the other end of the Magsafe is USB-C into the charging brick.

Thanks, but it’s on “preparing to ship status so the cancel item is no longer available. :(
