Time to add my name to the list. I am not worried, but anxious haha.

Placed my order over phone (due to issue using Apple credit) shortly after keynote.
16" M1 Max default config. Said Nov 2-Nov 9.

Shows still 'processing' and if it is going to get here by tomorrow, I would have expected some movement by now.

I checked by reference, and there is an item that shows 'check back tomorrow for delivery date' that it has shown a few days, but they limit what you can see by reference now..

Anyone else with date by tomorrow still not showing shipped?

Hoping to see some movement within the next 24 hours

Congrats! When did you place your order? I ordered the 16" M1 Max with 64GB RAM and 4TB SSD as well on October 18th about 15 minutes after the keynote ended with a November 10-17 delivery date. My order has not moved from "Processing" since it was placed. I know on another thread there were a couple of us with this configuration in the same boat so hopefully yours is a sign of some movement for all of us.

I'm in the same situation as well, similar configuration, same estimated delivery, and still at "processing."

This is weird... UPS shows delivery tomorrow 11/9 as of this morning after showing a few days of "Please check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date", but tracking shows it's still stuck in Shanghai.... I am hoping that the tracking progress is delayed and it's already in the US...

Curious what were the colours. From a bit of snooping around it seems 1TB Silvers seem to be the slowest (I've had the same shipping window as you)

All of them are Space Gray

Same specs and window here but no movement. They usually beat the window and it’s looking unlikely this time.

 

[ScatteredPixel]

Anyone in the 16 stuck boat had anything from Apple Support other than "it should be delivered within these dates, nothing to worry about".

Throughout my current shipping process (shipped 10/28, currently sequestered in customs in Louisville so still 2+ days away when it's released), I've learned to not trust UPS' estimates at all. Their initial estimate for arrival was November 2.

What a logistical disaster, I understand (but guess I don't know the specific ramifications on UPS) regarding the COVID situation but still... Apple has been consistent up to this point with delivering regardless of holiday rushes, etc. ...hopefully they can get it together soon...

LOL, These cloths are taking very good care of my Apple devices though, especially MacBook Pro.

😂 still think I need help?

I decided to return my 14 inch and upgrade to 32gb of ram to make it a little more future proof where I won’t have to upgrade my computer again for hopefully a while. New delivery Dec 17-24. Anyone have this date range and have had early movement? I know I am FAR away now. Bummer. But I can wait for the right configuration.

 

[DB294]

Okay, looks like we're out. So only 24 hours held in the customs warehouse, not too bad.

Same here, though they're saying Thursday for my package, which seems ridiculous.

Anyone else have a delivery date of Nov 9th-16th for the 16" Max but it's still showing as processing?

I am in the exact same schedule. It's been a long wait. Apple says Thursday delivery.

I was also very frustrated with my order for 14" (Pro 10/32Gb/1T) being stuck in ZhengZhou since 10/29. It did not move out of it on Friday, while many guys who had the same tracking as me got theirs moving on Friday.
I went to some local stores like BestBuy and local Apple to see if there is anything I can get sooner. When I compared in 16" and 14" in person, I realized I like 16" better, and that stock 16" Max is quite close to my original BTO 14" requirements. The extra screen space and battery life justify some extra cash for it.
I was not able to find sock configuration in the stores.
I almost managed to order one from BestBuy online with a 1 week delivery time, but someone was faster than me.
But to my surprise, Costco online had shown the 16" stock 32Gb/32Gpu/1Tb in Space Gray as available. I ordered it on Friday and it is being shipped from CA to FL now with delivery tomorrow (at a discounted price compared to Apple)
In about 30 minutes I saw that Costco no longer shows them online. But I was lucky to snatch one and get delivery in 2 business days instead of the delivery madness ordering from Apple directly (I ordered within 10-15 minutes of the online store opening on the presentation day).

PS. My original 14" order did move out of ZZ today and now is expected to be delivered to me on Thursday (11th instead of 5-9th that Apple originally promise and 2nd that UPS originally promised).
Thus, if you long waiting period and a stock configuration might be quite close to what you originally wanted, you might get it much faster trying looking online at other retailers than dealing with Apple/UPS nightmare directly.

This is my exact same tracking...except my last scan was at 1:15. Stuck in Shanghai with Apple's order status saying delivery by Thursday, but I'm not so sure. It would have been nice to have it for my day off on Thursday. Good luck!

 

[ScatteredPixel]

Anyone else have a delivery date of Nov 9th-16th for the 16" Max but it's still showing as processing?

Yep there's a few of us here in the same boat.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Originally Dec 10th, then changed to Nov 17-24

Placed my order about an hour after the keynote ended. My machine just cleared Chinese customs so it should be on a plane shortly I think!

Woo hoo! that's very exciting. Can't wait till your Mac starts traveling

It sounds like the scans are delayed. Hopefully by tonight you are in Louisville, Kentucky.

Thank you for reporting!

OMG! It is so close! Finally catching up. Getting ready to put that 👑 into our favorite Macbook 16". Let's Go!!!

See if you can call Apple and obtain any information, It's weird. the status did not even moved to "Prepare to shipment."

Idk, I feel like Face ID wouldn't be too useful on a Mac anyway. This article covers it well:

MacBook Pro Face ID missing from the notch for a good reason - 9to5Mac

If there's one complaint I've heard more than any other this week, it's, "Why is there no MacBook Pro Face ID feature in the notch?"
