same..same... same
An update on my 14" 10/24 32GB 1TB. Received a shipping notification on Friday with a tracking number. Still unavailable via UPS website. Apple still says expected delivery Dec 1. A bit baffled about when it might actually arrive, but I'm in a major city so keeping my fingers crossed it shows up soon.

You are not alone.
UPS Tracking number sent to me on 11/19 via Apple. Still no updates and still not in the UPS system. It appears that any MacBook that is being shipped via UPS to North America, US and Canada, (I havent seen any post on orders going to Mexico) are all experiencing the exact same thing. Extremely frustrating. If it would have actually shipped on Friday / Sunday (Monday in China), there is a good shot that many us of would have our MacBooks by Friday. Even considering the Thanksgiving Holiday.
I have ordered things for the last 19 months from eBay, Etsy, etc. and never experience something like this. This, being a tracking number sent to me and then it never get placed in the shipping system.

So just called Apple and UPS again (twice today 11/24/21).

Apple - according to our recording your package was picked up by UPS and we have a delivery number to confirm (I wrote down the delivery number). Call UPS and talk to them.

UPS - we have no information regarding your tracking number. We have not picked up any package and currently do not have a pick address in our system, so we don't even know where / when to pick up your package.

Apple - they are escalating my issue to a manager. Not sure if that will really do anything at this point because even if it shows up in the UPS today, there is no way I gets from China to Oregon before next week. But I guess it is the best I can hope for at this point.
 
no luck yet.. its past 1:00. the tracking has updated and now says by end of day. But it still doesnt say anything about it being on a truck..nothing since Monday when it was in Memphis TN
im not getting my hopes up

Is it weird that im this excited to get it when I already have a 16in m1 pro and im using it right now..?

(and I already had a 14 at one point ..thought I wanted the 16, definitely now know I do not want this massive thing. )
Have you tried calling FedEx and check the status on it?

If i were you I'd ask apple where it's coming from - maybe it's already in the US.
 
I ordered November 12th - stuck on processing till now, base model 14 with 1TB SSD and English Keyboard. My window is 9-16 December but I really need it to come by the 13th (fingers crossed)
 
Anybody received their 14" /M1 Max / 64GB configurations yet? I ordered mine on Nov 5 and the delivery date is still ways off but got curious since it looked like a lot of orders are getting delivered early.

It does look like the M1 Max / 64GB is the stickler here... Delivery dates on new orders are now into February, ugh.
 
thats one way of saying its too big.. :)
Its seems too big but I do like so far the keyboard dose feel really different compared to my July 2019 13 inch MacBook Pro that is a intel and has the butterfly keyboard and touch bard - just saying the keyboard feels good
 
I think I know what Apple could of done I think would be cool is you know we have the full height function key row I do miss some of the old shortcut keys that were on the function row-

Apple could of done this like on the top of the function they could of put like a little screen in key and we could change those - I think it would of been neat and I think Apple could do that if they really wanted too

For example like like the spotlight and dictation keys you could change them to Keyboard brightness and the top symbols would change to represent that - and you would change them in system preference

To me my 13 inch MacBook Pro just seemed like a big iPad or iPhone since the think with the touch bar is it suggested words when typing just like on the iPhone and iPad

I'm just saying it would be nice to change the them- but we all know that Apple could do did if they wanted to-

using the 16inch MacBook pro seem a lot different know I just have to remember what do everything since its been a while for me like trying to remember on how to move everything around and delete items since I don't have a shortcut anymore
 
I contacted Apple via chat and was told that the clearance delay was a normal status and my delivery should still arrive on Friday as scheduled...
Yet from what's going on now, it could possibly take a little while.
 
Unavailable everywhere and this is in los angeles..what is weird is that if you try and order a standard 14 inch macbook pro it says the wait time is 2-3 weeks..so why am I still waiting, zero movement I have absolutely no idea what is going on
I’ve seen the base 14” in stock many times at the Manhattan Beach Apple Store. Even many 16” 16gb versions. Never any 16” 64gb though. If you have time, try stopping by your local store, they often have stock that’s not reflected in their app.

The MicroCenter in Tustin has 2 base model 14” MBP in stock (plus various other 14”/16” all 16gb) for pickup right now if you’re out in OC.

But I’d bet you’ll get shipping notification fairly soon if you just want to wait.

Yeah Im waiting, already used my apple gift card on this purpose so Im not touching it. I chatted with an apple rep, basically she said the usual stuff, how it SHOULD ship probably Friday and that I would be notified if it was delayed I told her I only bought it at that time because I wanted to take advantage of the extended holiday returns that way I have time to use it make sure there are no issues, etc..she said she hopes I receive it soon blaa blaa blaa so will just see what happens
