So the shipping chapter approaches an end for the 10/26 deliveries. It’s been fun hangin’ with everyone! Like when traveling in airports, I saw all types of people, which is refreshing since my days of airport life is over. People who get to the airport and run to the gate to barely make the flight; those who run to the gate for a flight that is an hour away from boarding; and those who have it timed just right with no drama. I was typically the one who arrived an hour early and went to the frequent flyer lounge and had breakfast and a mimosa before heading to the gate. Different strokes for different folks. In the end, pretty much everyone made the flight.
Take care and enjoy your new MBPs! My 3rd party accessories starting arriving today. ?
Over and out.

Woo hoo! Congratulations! It's beautiful!!!!! YAY!!!!!
I live in Ft. Worth. Mine just left Kentucky an hour ago!
If you are looking for skins, Dbrand has always been my go to.
Ok, now you are just torturing us!!! ? Stop with the coffee breaks and open up that beautiful 16” goodness.
I may have missed it and I can’t seem to locate what the specs are on this beauty… What did @LFC2020 end up with?
Okay...depending on how obsessive we want to be... (no comment about myself...) there's this:
5X9780 (UPS9780) United Parcel Service Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
Track United Parcel Service (5X) #9780 flight from Salt Lake City Intl to Ontario Intl

Congrats mate! I like how the 16" MBP box fit perfectly inside the paper bag!
Yes, it almost surely is. Mine is currently traveling from Louisville to Washington, DC by ground - over 600 miles. UPS has always run a very tightly integrated operation. Anything traveling within 500 miles is usually trucked if the time exists. On a Second Day Air service, UPS can truck a package between nearly any two points east of the Mississippi, or up and down the West Coast.
FedEx, by contrast, historically ran a very fragmented operation. That's for a few reasons - it was mostly built through acquisition, whereas UPS grew organically, and FedEx was also designed from the ground up to be difficulty to unionize (only their pilots are unionized, versus nearly every aspect of UPS's operation). But a FedEx Express package traditionally never traveled via their ground routes, except in particular corridors where they ran dedicated Express trucks. UPS will put Next Day, Second Day, Three Day Select, and Ground all on the same truck if it makes sense, and they all go through the same sorting facilities. FedEx has separate facilities for Ground and Express. FedEx has been doing some integration of their two small package divisions over the last few years but it is nowhere near as integrated as UPS is. Few realize that FedEx Ground is almost entirely built on contractors - neither your FedEx Ground driver nor the driver who drives FedEx Ground trailers you see on the highway are FedEx employees (Express workers are all directly employed).
Is this Lenox mall, Atlanta?
Well I'll be picking one up in 2 hours... Have a delivery date for November 30 for a BTO 14 inch with 32gb RAM, but when I saw there were base models available for pickup today, I couldn't resist. Figured I could test it out and see if 16GB of RAM was ok for my needs. Luckily Apple is so generous with their return policy!
Australia, Melbourne I believe.
No, it is a Westfield in Australia, mate! Lenox mall is amazing, though. How can you beat two malls next to each other?!
My MacBook Pro M1 PRO is about ten miles away. It just landed at an Air hub in the next city over. It will arrive tomorrow.
Well my 14” and 16” flew together until now. My 16” has a departure scan from Louisville, but my 14” does not. Oddly the 14” is the one that Apple quotes as arriving tomorrow. UPS still says both are still arriving tomorrow.
Do they ever miss scans ie. is it possible my 14” made the trip and didn’t get a departure scan?
Edit: just checked and the 16” got an arrival scan in Windsor Locks, CT. No updates on the 14”

Apple billed my credit card (pending). Then it just disappears from my bank activity. I guess it was just a hold?
My ship date is mid November though.
Order still says processing. Is this normal? I just want them to actually bill me for real (take my money).
