Checked my Apple store app and my Mac has shipped! Coming with DHL - estimated delivery is December 3rd. Up from 9th to 16th initial estimate, really happy with that
I originally ordered an M1 Max on October 20th, but canceled it on Nov 4th and re-ordered an M1 Pro. My projected ship date didn't change very much. It was originally late November to early-mid December. When I canceled and re-ordered, it slipped to Dec 6th -12th.
I just received a ship notification today with an expected delivery date of December 3rd for my Nov 4th order.

I guess that's one of the drawbacks to having everything on one chip when there are chip manufacturing bottlenecks! It only does that if you order the 64GB Max (either size).
Also I just saw an expedited shipping option that I haven't seen before. On the base config models, you can pay a delivery fee and get it a week earlier.
The only positive is that the date is the same for all storage. I feel like Jan 21st-Feb 3rd is the placeholder and as secure units delivery dates will improve. I see a 64G/1TB model shipping earlier then a fully specked 64G/8TB.
Oh yeah, I guess it's only a day earlier. I read it wrong. I guess for $8, someone at the fulfillment center will walk extra fast to make sure the package gets on the next truck out instead of letting it slide.
Oooo same!! Just got the email that it shipped!! So stoked.
Anyone else who was stuck in TN through yesterday get any movement this morning? I am still stuck. Now have to wait until Monday…….
Oh wow! Literally charging $8.00 for one day difference 😂. Not worth it.
I’ve had this same status. Delivery for Monday. But now it’s Date pending..Unfortunately no movement for me. Looks like I’ll have to wait for Monday. I don’t know why!?

This is great to hear. I put an order in for an 14" M1 Pro at the second standard configuration on 11/5 - so hope I see a ship notice or Apple Card Charge tomorrow.
Mine went from Wednesday (Dec 1) to this also. Hopefully it’s only a minor hiccup
Oddly enough, my card hasn't been charged yet! Do they only charge you when it's in the hands of the shipper? I'm just at the shipping request created phase.
PREPARING TO SHIP!! I turned on my iphone this morning and saw a message from the apple store saying they took out the money from my apple card account(Also says its pending and will get the 3 percent cash back, not sure if Im supposed to do that now or wait til the actual charge appears on my account)
So excited..I did NOT chat with apple yesterday so decided to wait til today to see what would happen and here we are..ya all dont think(I know Im super paranoid) that because I was chatting with apple like once a week asking about my order that they wont send me a new one right LOL ..I guess it will ship from China that is what I should be on the lookout for?

If yours are all from FDX, I might have a reason why.. and it isn't pretty...

You may want to call FDX and see if any of the packages recovered may be yours.

Well, PayPal finally shows my payment to Apple as completed, though my bank still shows it as a pending transaction. Payment went into pre-authorization early morning Nov 22.
I received shipping notice email from Apple ~2:00AM my time Nov 25. Not surprisingly, based on plenty of anecdotes in this thread alone, UPS still has no info about my tracking number in their system.
Apple order page still says Arrives Mon Dec 6, so we'll see. This won't be real to me until I can actually track this through UPS, hahahahaha! 🤣

Except that’s in Alabama. And 99% of people aren’t having issues.
I'm still waiting to see update in UPS, I only have the tracking number, but I can't see anything else...
Think this is a very good perspective. I know we all like keeping our Macs in pristine shape, what with leather sleeves and what not. But I think there's a limit to what's reasonably worth the hassle, and I agree that keyboard / trackpad covers would be over-the-line for me. Even more so given that these could actually have a negative effect on the screen if you leave them on when closed.
To me, it's somewhat similar to keeping the "plastic" on remote controls or sofas (like the funny stereotype of the baby boomer generation). Not worth it at the end of the day.
For me, the one thing I try to do is wash my hands before I start using my MBP. And try not to eat while working on it. I think avoiding those scenarios will get you 95% of the way there in keeping the kb/trackpad in more than good enough shape years down the road.
