Yay! It finally changed from "processing" to "preparing to ship".

How many days does it take to change to "shipped"?

Macbook Pro 16" 1TB 32GB 10/24/16

Mine is Dec 9-16 so hopefully mine moves to PTS soon.

I’m nervous with who the carrier is going to be because I purchased a MagSafe battery pack on Tuesday, it was supposed to be here Thursday and it was on the delivery truck today but guess what it didn’t get delivered and now it’s scheduled for Tuesday. Dude wtf is going on?!
 
A great article has been posted by CNET. Comparing Apple M1 Pro v/s M1 Pro Max :)

I think my computer is going to leave China today since Apple confirmed it should be leaving China either Nov. 20. or Nov. 21 and today is the- so it looks like I will get on Nov. 26 - I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up early like on Nov. 24, but I have a feeling it will be Nov. 26

Shipping in and around major holidays always presents a shipping challenge good luck and hang in there. Apple should include stress tests in their hallmark products!

Woo hoo! Congratulations!!! Almost home. Before it takes off you will see an import scan. Keep us posted when it lands. Import scan should occur soon and from there it will get on the flight. Happy traveling :)

Nothing for me. Been about 26 hours since Apple sent me a message saying my Mac shipped. Got the UPS tracking number, but no information present in the UPS website. Hoping to see something soon so I can get some estimate on when it may arrive.
same story here. Estimated delivery date : Dec 1st.
 
Just got notice that my 16" MBPro M1 Max, 64 GB, 4 TB SSD will be delivered Saturday 20 November 2021. For reference I ordered this on 18 October 14:02 US CDT. It looks as if Apple has recovered some time here (expected was 26 - 30 November, after 2 delays).
My MBPro was delivered late 20 November (8:30pm). So now I have the machine in my hands.

First impressions:
1. Old fashioned looking but solid and beautifully built as always.
2. Superb screen.
3. Mac OS set up was easy and flawless (except Music and Photos which I will comment on later).
4. Fast. Really fast.
5. Keyboard positive and nice to use.
6. Key colored background makes keys more difficult to see and distinguish from one another. Prefer case colored background.
7. Miss the Touch Bar.
8. Quiet and cool. Sips battery.
9. Magnetic power connection useful for travel, but I have a load of USB C charging bricks and cables around the house, so will use those, keeping the magnetic connection for travel only.
10. Weight difference to 2019 MBPro not as noticeable as I thought it would be.
11. Square shape makes it easier to hold and pick up than 2019 model.
12. Not related to this particular machine but makes moving to a new machine such a pain:
a) Setting up Music is a nightmare. I download all content to my machines and it never works the first time through, it takes weeks to get everything onto the machine (network errors galore and I have a 500 Mbs Internet connection). Music is a disaster and I am still actively looking for an alternative.
b) Photos download is very, very slow (Adobe Lightroom and Amazon download content in less than 25% of the time). It usually takes more than 2 weeks to get Photos library onto the machine.
c) Apple cannot handle people with 2 phones and 2 or more numbers (it keeps switching caller id for Messages and FaceTime between the two numbers with the resultant dozens of messages).

Summary:

New Machine is a solid upgrade which feels reliable, well made and a significant upgrade in performance (fast, quiet and cool with a great battery life). A considerable step back in aesthetics in my opinion, but a great function over form machine. A keeper.

Apple says it will be delivered on Nov 29. It came over to the States with DHL. What specifically does the highlighted part mean? Is it now just in a waiting period to be transferred to UPS or FedEx?

It was in China for one only day once Apple marked it as shipped! ?
what is this website you are checking for custom clearance? my Macbook got shipped but UPS says its still in custom clearance in China, how can I track custom in china?

DHL. Apple sent me a tracking number from them. I’m speculating that DHL was simply the carrier to get it to the US but that they’ll likely hand the package off to UPS or FedEx for actual delivery. I could be wrong though.

I have exactly this. The highlighted part just means that the shipment has been give a status of “release” by customs. This means that when the shipment arrives in Cincinnati it’ll already be ready for shipping to the destination.

The status can be given even when the shipment is still in China. It took 3 days for my package to get from Shanghai to Ohio (though it looked like it was there 3 days prior).

Now the both of us will have to wait until Monday when DHL decides to start working again.

Thanks for your help! I can’t wait for it to get here!

As far as my order goes, still nothing..still says processing..still says arrives between november 24th through dec 2nd..standard config macbook pro 14 inch..I really dont feel like chatting with apple again and getting the same generic response of "Please be on the lookout for tracking info blaa blaa blaa" I was told a few days ago that usually orders will start going to "Preparing for shipment" 2 to 3 days prior to the first ship date..so it should be today or tomorrow? my apple card has NOT been charged
 
I placed my order on October 19, 2021 like at 4:20pm eastern time - and got a estimated deliver of Nov. 18 - Nov. 26- so my credit card was charged on the Nov. 16 and Shipped on Nov. 16- and my Delivery date changed to Nov. 26, I know Fedex has it since its says picked up- and says its still in China- and should be probably leaving tonight
