Just a heads up to everyone who hasn’t heard anything… UPS/Apple is probably doing this deliberately to deter theft. Pretty sure the packages are on the way, even if it says otherwise.
Got a tip for us?

Yes sir! It’s an expensive notebook. They don’t want theft to occur.
mine is still preparing to ship. not worried. most likely we'll see updates by tomorrow
Nov 3-5, went PTS on Friday afternoon EST but hasn't moved since. I don’t need it to arrive on Oct. 26, but seeing it’s actually ship would be nice. ? No tracking in UPS My Choice and nothing via web order or phone number when trying to track by reference.

yup, most of the 14 inch models well be shipped on release day, etc. The 16inch on oct 29th, so that means best buy will get them on those days in their warehouses.
I ordered a 16” base space gray a few mins after the event and have a express delivery of 10/26 and PTS. And also have a pending charge for the tax on the Apple Card but that’s it. Nothing is in UPS My choice either and nothing shows up trying the reference number.
I live about an hour from Louisville so I guess I can go hang out at UPS in the morning lol.
Thanks for the fun and informative thread!
Ahhh! If you ever have a moment. You should take pictures of the airport and post them. Many enthusiasts here including myself would love to see the UPS hub. Louisville, Kentucky is very famous around here.
If you can’t that’s ok too
Am I the one ordering from a 3rd party retailer? The reason I ordered from a 3rd party retailer is they offered $150 off this weekend only for M1 Pro/Max pre-orders and $150 educational discount. I needed that $300 lower price. They promised me that I would receive it at the same time you folks receive yours from Apple. I ordered the Space Gray 14 inch with 1TB of storage. I traded in both my notebooks you see in my siggy. My final cost for the $2499 notebook was $949. I know 3rd party could be late arriving. I‘m already prepared mentally not to get upset if don’t get mine until the end of November.
I sure will! It seems like every time when I’m passing it a UPS plane is landing or taking off.Ahhh! If you ever have a moment. You should take pictures of the airport and post them.

Keeping tracking info private so thieves can’t target the pallets of MBPs going through the country.
Thank you!! I appreciate you!!
It’s the motherland of UPS. The main Headquarters is there. I believe it’s massive too.
I actually made a trip to Louisville three years ago around the holiday peak to do some plane spotting. I'll try to dig up my photos tomorrow. I have plenty of pics of UPS metal and a lot of charter flights UPS brings in around the holidays. It was amazing to see just see one widebody after another come in for hours on end. Unfortunately there aren't too many great angles to get photos of Worldport itself, other than when you are taxiing in and out.Ahhh! If you ever have a moment.

Still in 'Processing'. I also have UPS MyChoice that will usually notify me when a shipment is coming my way-- nothing in there yet. Here's hoping for an update soon!
That’s fine. This is gold. We’ll take it. Share what you can. I really appreciate you. I bet it’s a heck of an experience.
Is there anyone with a 3-5 Nov delivery with my choice in here? Would love to follow your delivery window situation.
I feel a bit like a kid about this particular release. I wanna KNOW EVERYTHING.
so silly hahahahaha.

My experience tracking my last preorder in the PTS state was just as fruitless until the order was marked shipped. Not sure why some shipments show up when searched but not others
Anyone not have their shipment showing up on UPS MyChoice? My card was charged two days ago, my status is PTS, and my estimate is Nov. 3. Yet still no pending deliveries on my UPS page.
The other thing I’ve noticed is I have seen anyone who did Apple Card financing actually has been charged yet have they? Must be something to do with the accounting side perhaps.
Wow! Amazing shots. Can’t believe these are real shots taken. So professional though. Thank you for sharing! You ROCK!!!
Hoping to wake up to a tracking number!
Well, not exactly. My brother spent 32 years in UPS so I spent many years hearing about the company 😅, and the last 5 he worked in the corporate HQ in Atlanta. It started out as a small business in Seattle at the turn of the last century. Louisville is definitely a major US hub.
