What size screen MacBook Pro (2021) did you order?

so what are people's views on the standout comments from reviewers for these new MacBooks?!

nearly every review I read or watch keeps saying the experience is "buttery smooth" 😂

it would make the MacBooks a hell of a lot more slippery!
OCD is still in full effect. I’m not touching my MacBook Pro with bare hands right now. Not sure how long this is going to last. 😂

As if taking two weeks to ship my laptop wasn't enough, UPS just "attempted to deliver" my laptop without ringing my doorbell so now I'm in the customer service rat-hole trying to get them to fix their mistake. What a fantastic company.

Cool, their "local dispatch" will contact me "at some point today, I don't know when" so after they couldn't be bothered to ring my doorbell I now have to be on call to them all day after rearranging my morning to make sure I was home.

Just a garbage organization from top to bottom.

No idea what happened to my order. The arrives by window has been Nov. 6-19 since the beginning as I placed the order 15 minutes after the Keynote. There are three 16" MBP on this order. A 16" Max/64/2TB shipped a couple of days ago, and last night I got an email about the other two 16" Max/64/1TB.

"Due to an unexpected delay.... will now ship on or before Dec 22, 2021"
I checked the order status and now the delivery window is now arrived Dec. 24-Dec. 31!

Anybody else have issues with the 16" Max/64/1TB model and getting pushed back?

That is the exact configuration I ordered on 10/20 & it is still "processing". If I were you I would call Apple immediately.

1-(800)-254-8313 extension 2212215 0r try 1-(800) 275-2273

Prepare for a long wait on hold.

I call it systemic disorder,
It seems the most posts about delays and shipping problems are the M1 Max chipped units and BTO/CTO (custom) spec'd MBPs. Hope it improves for you all.

call their local dispatch, you might be able to physically pick it up from their warehouse. I try to drive around as well and have had luck catching the UPS truck.
 
Well that was a ride.

Wow! Started 10/28/2021 Ended 11/09/2021. What a journey. Congratulations, it’s finally home. Don’t forget to post the pictures of your new shiny 💻
 
How long do shipments usually get stuck in ZhengZhou for? So far my 14" has been stuck there for 5 days...

I would complain and ask if they can expedite the order if at all possible. The error wasn't your fault and they should honor the stated price or at least adjust the price that you were charged, not cancel your order. Keeping fingers crossed! ?
Apple doesn't care about or readily rectify mistakes they make. Trust me I've been the direct recipient of their malfeasance. They may throw a bone of a small credit or expedited shipping but they certainly make it hard for the customer in these type of cases.
 
Cool, their "local dispatch" will contact me "at some point today, I don't know when" so after they couldn't be bothered to ring my doorbell I now have to be on call to them all day after rearranging my morning to make sure I was home.

Just a garbage organization from top to bottom.
Sorry dude I understand your angst.
