I guess I'm another one with a very frustrating experience with the shipment being stuck in ZZ. No updates for the last two days, no more estimated delivery date from UPS, though originally they quoted November 3. Apple delivery date is still November 9 for me. I guess if it does not make it out of ZZ tonight, it will not make November 9 date, since there are no UPS flights from ZZ on weekends.

This is nothing! It's in the states at least....Not sure if I should have taken this screenshot again or if I should have just found my post from a day or two ago. Maybe I'm the lucky one that is actually getting their MBP shipped, ya know, the old way, on a ship.

My tracking matches yours 100%.

Just transport our MacBooks to Incheon already. Ughhhh.

There's no evidence that the package is actually in the US on the tracking that user linked (which is the same as mine). There is no departure scan from ZhengZhou, no arrival scan in Louisville, and there are no non-stop flights between the two so there would be intermediate scans between the two, which are also not present.

I actually find it calming to know that there are multiple people with the same tracking history as mine. Fingers crossed that our orders make it out of China soon. 🙂

Customs clearance often shows up as Louisville, no matter where the package actually is at the time.

True true. But there is acknowledgement that it is intended to leave ZZ! Ha.

I use one of the Apple backgrounds which is in the desert at night. Looks nice and the notch is never exposed.

how nice for you.

My order's been marked "Clearance in Progress" for the last three days.

So not only did Apple create 9999 replacements the other day and cancel most of them but now it appears I have two replacements processing LOL.

Bizarre. Watch the football movie The Replacements, lol.

I’m going to become a mindless vegetable glued to my 💻… maybe. 😂 Will probably spend the summer on the beach with nothing but blue skies, hot sand and waves for days. 😬

Not long now till summer, have to work on my tan, can’t be flexing that solo loop without a tan. 😎

Don’t forget to take the bbq with you, none of that fake gas bbq either, has to be charcoal. 😁

Mac is the first thing that goes in the car,, can’t get your flex game on at the beach without the BEAST!!!

And besides..... you need a table when camping!

 

[LFC2020]

Not a thing!!! That’s why I said (maybe?). Definitely not a thing. 🤣 The new M1s are perfect! 😁

That’s better. These screens are perfect, especially at 7. 😁

 

[LFC2020]

Did I say $600? LOL I was just guessing maybe $550.

Apple increased prices for iPhone AppleCare+ to include theft and loss so I thought they might increase this too.

Will you keep the MBP 16 for more than 2 years? If not then just get the yearly one and cancel when you sell when M3 Pro Max Plus Ultra God Tier comes out.

Absolutely keeping it for more than 2 years.

M3 Pro Max 🙄

M8 Super Pro Max for me mate. 😏

With minutes to spare, UPS came back by and dropped it off! Now looks like I'm going to be up late setting this thing up. 🎉

P.S. picture for giggles, my MacBook history...
2021 MBP, 2012 MBPR (handed down to my partner and 11 yo) and on the far right where it all began for me: 2007 White MacBook (with easily upgraded RAM and SSD, which my 8 yo still uses for her simple IT needs) 🤓

I still have my 13" early 2008 white plastic MacBook tucked away safe in a padded case in my closet. I took her out just now to take some photos...plugged her in and she booted right up, running Mac OS X v10.6.8, with 1 whole GB of memory. She's got no battery left, but runs like a charm plugged in. She's in pristine condition and there's something so nostalgic about opening the cover and hearing the classic startup tone and then something (?) spinning up to life inside.

There is no way that I would take my beast to the beach! I can’t have my SEXY beast showing me up. 🤣🤣🤣

No gas here… cooked in a smoker, char-wood only and falling of the bone succulent yummy-ness.

Ahhh! It’s beautiful. Great choice. Thanks for sharing. Why is it all the beautiful hand crafted sleeves are made in Europe? 😞

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I use one of the Apple backgrounds which is in the desert at night. Looks nice and the notch is never exposed. As far as the trackpad, I haven't noticed any differences from my last MBAM1.

Does every BTO MBP come from China?

Does every BTO MBP come from China?

That’s what it seems like. Yes, most stock options were available in USA. I guess they have to custom fig the orders.
