My MacBook package has no movement from last 4 days, I call UPS almost everyday, today when I called them they said its stuck because they are having lots of pending items and due to covid there is lot of restriction and flights are way less than normal etc... so for everyone its been delayed :( But, I don't see this issue for anyone else who are getting from UPS, may be that's my luck because I am so impatient lol! and when I asked apple yesterday, they said its departed from China already on 18th nov :(
Also, I asked UPS about where will it land first after departing from Chengdu China, he said it will directly come to kentucky from China, any idea how can I track UPS flights from chedgu, China to Kentucky, USA?
when I check flights from Chengdu to kentuky on flightaware.com, it shows no flights available:

But when I see on UPS, i think it says it will go from chengdu to Hong Kong First:

and when I check flights from chendgu to hong kong in flightaware.com, there are other flights but not UPS.

now I am confused what the hell is happening ?? can someone tell me if anyone has any idea?
 
Anyone have Fedex Tracking info, I'm just trying to figure out what the next stop is for my order after it leaves China
You will see an Export scan of some sort when it's ready to leave China. From there it will either fly to Anchorage, AK or to Japan (Shennan-Shi). Then it will go from either of those locations to one of the main US FedEx hubs, most likely Memphis. Then to your destination.

I've been really watching this with other shipments I have, not just my new MBP that was delivered last Thursday. UPS is hugely backed up in China. FedEx was doing a lot better, but is getting increasingly backed up with holiday shipments. There are two levels of FedEx service from there to the US. There's basically a standard and an expedited level of service. If you paid the little extra for expedited shipping when you ordered, or in my case where Apple CS prioritized mine, then you'll have the expedited. Expedited shipping with FedEx gets you two things -- first is a 'fast pass' through customs. There's still a wait, but you get pushed ahead of all the non-expedited traffic on your pickup day so it could cut your wait time by a day or three with current delays. The next thing the expedited shipping gets is priority shipping once it clears customs here in the US. Meaning next-day delivery, usually before noon, once it's through import customs. Otherwise it's a 2nd-day, but sometimes still next day, depending on their traffic load.

If you have FedEx expedited it will say so on your tracking info.

My MacBook Pro tracking missed the departure scan from Japan somehow. So I thought it was stuck in Japan, but then the next morning it was magically cleared for import in Memphis.

I think mine is going directly to Memphis since because of this - If I got to my tracking number that Apple gave me and on Shipments facts and then max, then you will see master Tracking #/ Shipment ID and I get this when I click on it and I just checked it and it says this now. Good thing it still says ON TIME- and I just saw this so looks like I could get it Wednesday

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

However, when I tried tracking the shipment, it gave me this message:

I am not sure, but I think they have not yet received the tracking information.

My was shipped on Nov. 16 - I just hope it gets here either Wednesday or Friday since I think Fedex is not working Thanksgiving Day

this was my configuration
  • Apple M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine
  • Accessory Kit
  • 140W USB-C Power Adapter
  • Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, MagSafe 3 port
  • 64GB unified memory
  • 1TB SSD storage
Sooo, anyone else have a 64Gb MBP on order?
Mine's been in Memphis, TN since 11/13 and I don't think many of the 64Gb versions have made it thru customs yet. Anyone have different info?

Hey @M0RN!NG5TAR

Do you mind if I ask what state your MacBook is being delivered to? I order the exact same configuration on 10/25 and my order apparently shipped on Friday 11/19 (although with UPS) and I have not seen any updates to my shipping information. I have an estimated delivery date (from Apple) of 12/1 to Oregon. Seems like there is no rhyme or reason on how these are getting shipped and delivered?
 
Finally, it’s here y’all! High anticipated MacBook Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max sleeve. It is carefully handcrafted, stitched, and rich in colors.

First time breaking the leather. It's fitting very nicely and comfortably.

My delivery destination is India, which is where I live. And it is being delivered via BlueDart/DHL.

I am also not sure about the delivery patterns as this would be the first Macbook that I ordered online. I used to buy it directly from store.
