@orangesauce what’s the service level for ups in shipment details?
Is that standard or UPS Worldwide Express Saver?
I have “Worldwide Express Saver”. Looks like it finally got out of ZZ in the last few hours…

I'm trying to get the dynamic to change and it seems stuck - so either I'm doing something wrong or just can't figure it out. Maybe someone else has got it to work?

The dynamic wallpaper should be file name "macOS Monterey.heic" This is their instruction page: https://dynamicwallpaper.club/docs

I tried both of these methods and they aren't working - maybe you can 🤞
The preview of the wallpaper in system preference looks to be working, but when I confirm the setting of this wallpaper, it reverts to the dark image only. 😥 I'll keep trying and let you know if I find a solution.

Thank you, I’ll give it a shot if not I guess I’m stuck with whatever Apple is offering. It would have been so much easier if Apple had offered in from the beginning. Now it’s all complicated, ha!

Delayed again 🤦🏻‍♂️
Ugh! Hopefully there is not a long delay. But the good thing is you got an import scan. It’s just waiting to get on the last flight. Do u know when is it expected to depart? Hopefully your 💻 catches the flight
 
I'm still here. Three days since I've had an estimated arrival. No departure scan from ZhengZhou, no arrival scan in Louisville. Weird.

Sorry - I edited and updated that it worked...it's perfect now. I updated that post and sent you a convo...sorry for the bother. 🥺
 
Man, could UPS have screwed up this Macbook shipment any more if they tried? Have an investigation open now. Not sure what my next steps are through Apple, since I've been charged for the Macbook. Don't think I'm ordering through the Apple online store ever again. Pickup or nothing now.
Well, my October 26 original delivery date base model finally arrived last night at 630PM (That's November 2nd).

What a cluster. I was in my office which overlooks the street and I saw a Uhaul rental van pull up and put 4 way blinkers on. I'm on a dead end street so thought that was odd. Then watched a guy get out in the rainy dark and start looking at addresses on my street and under his arm was a MacBook sized package.

Sure enough, went out there and he came to the door. Chatted with the guy and it turns out UPS is so overwhelmed in my area that they don't have enough trucks on the road and have resorted to renting 20 Uhaul vans to make deliveries. I wonder if my package really was "sorted incorrectly" and not just "delayed due to budget cuts" or some sort.

Either way my Macbook is here and it's awesome. What a journey getting it though. If I remember in 10 years when I get a new one, I'll do in store pickup instead. :D
 
Well, I've changed my order again. After deciding on the M1 Pro with 32GB of RAM and the 16 core GPU, I decided to just upgrade to the cheapest M1 Max. This gives me the RAM I want (32GB) and the 24 core GPU for about $240 more. I also get the extra external display that the M1 Max provides. I'm not happy how much I spent on this, but I'm happy with my final configuration at last.

My first order had a delivery date still in November, now my delivery date is between the 7th and 15th December. Five more weeks with my 2015 MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM!
That’s the processor/RAM config I went with as well. Hope yours comes sooner than expected!!

Hmm it actually shows as having arrived in Portland now so it wasn’t a super long flight delay 😂. Though it still says “Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date” 🤔.

I’m actually kind of surprised these last minute delays don’t happen more often considering how last minute they send them out from Louisville!

Woo hoo! I have a feeling you’ll get it today. It’s still early so UPS will process it and update the system within 1-2 hours.
 
UPS Worldwide Express Saver

Mine is listed as:
Service Level: UPS Worldwide Expedited

Mine got out of ZZ in the last few hours, same for you?

This is not good, because iPhone always use "UPS Worldwide Express Saver" and never got such delays! Usually within 3 days if reach the destination. Something is wrong/delays going with UPS even after mechanical failure couple of weeks ago.

As somebody who works at a non-apple consumer electronics company: the entire shipping process from China to the US is extremely broken right now. Many companies are trying to abandon ocean freight, especially into the US, given the backups at the port of LA, and as a result air shipping is extremely overloaded. I'm not surprised that this is happening, but disappointed, would have loved for my laptop to arrive sooner.
 
When do people typically get a shipping notification? My M1 Max 16" stated delivery date nov 2nd-9th
