I'm still playing the Shanghai game, 6 days stuck there. Theres a few other posters with identical tracking info to me. Best of luck!

Also, UPS is just trolling. Their system gave me a delivery window on Tuesday and Thursday and has since changed to the dreaded, check back tomorrow. Well it's tomorrow and they haven't updated!

Apple shifted my delivery window back. They originally reported I was going to receive mine on Nov 3. Now it says 19. Just giving you the info so you don't get as butt hurt as me, however, for your sake, I hope it comes quicker!

I just noticed in my tracking details that while the service is UPS Worldwide Express Saver, it also mentions the “Product” as UPS World Ease. According to UPS’s website, USP World Ease is to “simplify customs clearance by grouping several shipments destined for one country or the the entire European Union into a single shipment.” So the grouped shipments clear customs as a single unit to reduce documentation, etc. With so many people having their orders stuck on certain places for several days, I wonder if what is happening is that there is an agreed upon amount of shipments that need to be reached before that “group” is then sent off to clear customs as that single unit?

Ordered a sleeve for 14inch on amazon (I was originally looking for a cover but not as many hasnt been released for this model yet)
but this one looks great and stylish, it fits perfectly, light case, the magnet that closes does the job, I like how the leather feels. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a simple protective 💼 for your 💻

Thanks for the idea, I'll get a tattoo instead. 🍎👑

I bet you hit the nail on the head.

Will be curious to see if your order flushes at the same time mine does.

@LFC2020

Hope your passport is up to date.

Waking up to more polishing cloth news, love it 😁 not 🤦‍♂️ lol

Like a knock out punch!

OMG! Are you serious, haha. You are a trooper 🖖. I thought you were going to go to the Apple store to check. Delayed till Jan 11-25th 😣😣 once @LFC2020 sees this he’s going to lose it, haha!

I'm devastated. 😐

 

[LFC2020]

This totally makes sense. 🤔😂

 

[Wxchaser]

Now that you are 100% - celebrate with Apple's fine polishing cloth.

How long did it take to charge fully?

That looks pretty nice, and good price on it too ($16!), though it is PU Leather (polyurethane leather, artificial), hence the price. I wanted to get a nice distressed leather sleeve, so I ended up getting the below from Etsy (US$62). It ships from China, but the seller has great reviews, and you can get free engraving of initials (which I did). I ordered it over the weekend and it shipped a few days later. I opted for the free shipping (which is supposed to be 1-2 weeks into the US), so will post some pics / thoughts after I receive it.

From 14% to 100% took roughly 1h40m. It's all about the apple life 😎 represent 🍎🥇

Finally on the truck and out for delivery. For those keeping score:
ordered space grey 16" Max 10/32/16 - 64Gb/2TB within 30 minutes of keynote and 9 days door to door on the west coast (US).

 

[LFC2020]

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 You ready? 👇 Tight ass public beta day is here. 😁

Look at you with that fancy ribbon 🙄 I want one 😐😂

 

[bige12]

I ordered my 16 inch M1 Max Macbook Pro on october 19 around 4:20pm and got a email at 4:25pm to saying they received the order and said ships in 3 to 4 weeks
and they say they have everything they need for my order but still stuck in processing - My guess it will be shipped today maybe around 4pm my time

Looks like Samsung is back at it again. They may be giving away free Polishing Cloth. But it is no where close to Apple’s. No where close to the Apple standards and quality. 🗣📣

Samsung takes on Apple again, giving away a free polishing cloth in Germany - 9to5Mac

After the notch controversy and the end of charge adaptors, now Samsung is taking on Apple by giving its Galaxy users a free polishing cloth.

9to5mac.com

@LFC2020 friend, good luck finding one until 2022. you are out of luck! Comparison video coming soon 😛

Pro tip, you don’t need any liquid with Apple cloth. The cloth itself is very heavy duty, durable and moist.

Hmm.. Samsung shouldn’t be giving these away.. in fact they should be saving the money.. I mean, don’t they have a CEO to bail out of jail?

BL.

 

[techrage]

This is a sick joke. I ordered within 15 mins of the keynote. BTO 16 /64GB/4TB still in Shanghai. And my Apple cloth just shipped with an original Jan date with delivery of tomorrow. WTF APPLE

Typical Samsung, always copying the ?? surprised they didn't make a ad first mocking apple before giving them away.

The jealously is real.

I have a BTO 16 /64GB/4TB with a Nov 10-17 window and I am curious how long from preparing to ship to actually being delivered has it been taking some of you here? Thx
