Apple app order changed to ‘shipped’! 🔥

On the same boat as other peoole, was checking UPS but it’s coming from FedEx. Original delivery estimate was Nov. 3 - 5, now shows Friday Oct. 29th, which I’m fine with that, if it comes sooner, that’ll be sweet.

HELP. How come UPS wants to charge me a 5.99 fee to hold for pickup at the customer care center? That never used to be the case. Anyone else have this issue? Or do you have to call them?
You have a customer care center? Ours has been "temporarily" closed for over a year...

Can you redirect to a UPS Access Point for free? I don't think so either.. I think UPS made this part of the My Choice "premium" :mad:
 
Chances FedEx shipment can come before 10/29?

That's a tough one.

Yes, the shipment could come on Thursday. I have seen that happen.

I also have seen FedEx screw up shipments and they get delayed an extra day.

However, this being Apple, I doubt FedEx will deliver later than Friday the 29th and absolutely, that date could very well move to Thursday.
 
Ordered mine from Best Buy because it said I could pick it up on the 26th. But now the product page (14/1TB/15GB) says its not available in stores. Says it coudl ship by 10/26. My order is saying they are waiting on the item. Not sure if I should move it to shipping (and possibly get burned there) or just have faith and keep it at instore pickup.
I’ve ordered lots of apple stuff from Best Buy, either way you go will come out to about the same. They have to wait for to arrive at their warehouse and then ship it to the store for pickup or they ship it to you once it arrives in the warehouse. Great thing about best busy though is they have lots of warehouses so they will find you item as fast as they can somewhere and get it you.

Apple order says shipped now. Got the email, Delivery by Nov 3 (orig quoted 11/3-5). UPS previously was stating Nov 1, In transit out of Shanghai. Now stating to check back later for updated delivery date. - my gut says this will update at the next scan point. IF there was a flight its on out of Shanghai, it won't scan again until it lands sometime later today, I assume.

It’s possible. FedEx has been know not to deliver early. Most of this happens with ground stuff. The international date can change due to customs and stuff. I’m also on the 10/29 trip. I think we may see it on the 27th or the 28th depending on your area.

I’ve had things with FedEx where it went to the depot, on the truck for delivery and then 5 min later back at the depot because it would be a day early.
 
Were any of you guys able to snag a BTO M1 Max 14" for Oct 26 delivery?
My 14" M1 Max: 24 core GPU / 32GB RAM was giving me an estimate of Nov 5th-10th seconds after getting into the Apple Store. 😢
I did do an Apple Trade-In and the system was super laggy, so perhaps that's what caused my delay.

So excited to see the first reviews today!

It sounds like if you got a UPS delivery notice it's coming tomorrow. FedEx on Friday, but I think that will move to Thursday. Seen that happen often.

This is normal now for UPS, unfortunately. I guess another profit center. Most of the time now when you want them to hold you can't get it that same day. So now you pay extra and the service is worse.

I missed my Apple Watch delivery because the attempted delivery came hours before the time they gave me. I had to pay 7.99 to be able to pick it up at the customer care center the following day.
 
My 14' BTO originally slated for 3-5 has moved to "shipped" with a delivery of Nov 3 and shows up on UPS!

UPS Says:

- No date yet.
- Departed Shanghai at 7PM local time.

Apple seems to believe from leaving china to arriving at my door is 9 days! I hope theyre being cautious.

Ordered at 1:03 central on launch day. 14'. 64gb. 1tb. M1 Max with 32 core CPU.

I finally got UPS tracking! 16” base…

For anyone interested, UPS is allowing us to change our pickup to a customer center right from the website/app. This is different from recent iPhone shipments, where we've had to call or email customer service to have it changed.
