Supposed to be arriving today but still seems stuck in TN with last scan saying import release. Anyone else have this situation?

Have been in Memphis since Wednesday. I’m worried now either my package got lost, or is just stuck. I was sure I would have movement this morning. It should be at my local hub by now.
Mine has been in Memphis since the morning of Nov. 25, and it still says "Clearance in progress." Delivery date is pending, last FedEx update said delivery for today (Nov 29) but Apple still says Dec. 3.
It could be moving along and it just hasn't updated, or it could be sitting in Memphis, could be lost in the void too, but I am hopeful I will get a new computer sometime this week.

Yes, I don’t understand exactly why this is the case. Mine says international shipment release - import, which means it has cleared customs. So I don’t understand. I’m hoping tomorrow now.

PayPal continues to show this as a completed transaction; money has **not** been refunded, and again, the ~$400 cash balance I previously had in PayPal is gone, and applied towards payment. I know....I should probably contact the labyrinth known as my bank's customer service, but I know what they'll say: sorry, we are not showing a pending transaction with Apple on your account.

I am trying to chat with Apple right now.
Not to pry into your personal financial situation, but is there a reason you wanted to pay for the MBP via PayPal cash / direct payment from your bank account? Sorry if this is all obvious already:

- If you had the $400 balance in PayPal, it's as good as cash (and you can always transfer to your bank acct).
- I always like to use credit cards (vs debit / bank account) to pay for things, especially goods. Much stronger customer protections on credit card (Vs debit), and given the $ aren't taken from you at the beginning, you also get the benefit of keeping your cash for longer (given grace period to pay the full cc balance)
- Plus, especially if there is a dispute with merchant, most credit cards will say don't pay for the charge on your CC balance while they investigate it. Vs if you pay debit/bank account, your cash is gone all the while you dispute with merchant. Now hopefully this txn with Apple doesn't go that way, I'm saying more for general online purchases using credit card vs debit/bank account.

Anyways, here's hoping things get resolved quickly for you. I agree that hopefully it's just a systems delay and in a few days, all will just get sorted out automatically.

Waiting three months for a MBP might be kind of ridiculous. I ordered mine on 10/20 (yeah, it's one of the 64GB ones), and will not be delivered until January 13-20. It was supposed to be delivered on November 29 - December 6, but then Apple pushed it to January. Is there anybody else with this long wait?
 
I ordered my Space Gray 16” 10/32 32GB 4TB on 11/12 and it has been processing ever since. Delivery date is estimated as Dec. 9-16th. My Apple Card has not been charged yet.

I noticed with mine, and I ordered only the standard config one, that the apple card was charged two days AFTER the first ship date, so for you that would be Dec 11th, that is when you might notice your card being charged at least that is how it worked with my order

I'm just envious that UPS actually admits they have your package! 4 1/2 days since I was given UPS tracking info by Apple, and UPS tracking still says it isn't in their system. I'd love to be complaining about lack of tracked movement, LOL.

Usually takes 5 days...
 
Called Fedex. They don't know why my package has been stuck in Memphis since last Wednesday. Contacting Apple now. I know all of this is useless. Why does it seem that everything I order always has shipping issues.

Of course my empty trade in box comes no problem....

I don't know if Apple can do much on this, because Chain of Custody is currently with FDX. Apple may be able to find out more about the pallet and where your package is at FDX, but won't be able to tell you when it gets on a flight. That's all in FDX's hands..

Similar non-related story. last October, Home Depot ran a sale for a stove that we bought, because our stove at the time had its heating element blow up (literally; it's a gas stove). The stove we bought was 5-burner, griddle in the middle, oven, and air fryer, at 65% off retail price, so we quickly pulled the trigger on it, thinking that it was already in store or in a local warehouse...

... no. The way they operate is that even though they have the floor model in the store, you have to pay for it, then they order it. If it is in a local warehouse, they can get it delivered. Well, none in a local warehouse. None in a regional warehouse. Closest store with a warehouse that had it was 700 miles away.. and to make it worse, they don't ship between warehouses, so any units that go to that regional warehouse are only for that region. So if they had a stove in the warehouse in Las Vegas and we are in Sacramento, they wouldn't ship one from the Vegas warehouse to somewhere in Sacramento.

So we wait... wait will some get delivered to warehouses in the midwest, where they had a good 25 already.. no.. ours that we ordered, which was scheduled to be delivered in 2 weeks, was pushed out to the first week of December. Then, we were put on "infinite delay", because apparently ours had to be built, because they ran out of stock, despite the fact that we had ordered 2 months well and truly prior to them running out of stock and having all of that stock delivered to the midwest.

To compensate, Home Depot offered to refund our money so we could purchase a different stove, in which none of them were on sale, so we'd have to pay retail price... which made absolutely no sense that we'd ask for a refund to buy something that cost $400 more than what we already paid. And to make it worse, if it wasn't delivered within a 6-month period, they are obligated to refund our money, which we'd have to buy the stove all over again, and not at the sale price that we initially purchased.

Long story short, we didn't get the stove delivered until the 2nd week of March.

If I have no choice, never again with a big box store like that, unless I get to negotiate any details of the purchase, and I'd be an absolute d*** about it.

BL.

I ordered mine on 10/29, 64GB here as well. Original delivery date was 13 Dec - 20 Dec but changed to 7 Dec - 14 Dec on 11/08. But, still processing and nothing charged yet. So I guess it's highly likely that it will be delayed for me as well.
 
For those of you whose models shipped via DHL last week, have you gotten your deliveries or seen any tracking updates since Thursday? Mine has been silent and DHL can't even tell me for sure what country it is in…

Similar here. Got DHL Shipping Number from Apple last Wed (11/24) and likewise 4.5 days. DSL site search with number just "sorry...check your number". 11/1 order for MBP M1 MAX 10/32/32/1Tb.
 
My order just shipped. Max 16" 32/64/2TB.

Got tracking from Apple this morning.
Going through DHL which is a first for any Apple product for me.
DHL shows confirmed pickup.

same as me.. now I'm on 24 hours of PFS. Wonder when will get my tracking and shipping email.
It was a full 48 hours for me until it changed from PFS to Shipped. Probably 24 more hours for you.
 
Ordered October 26th, received today in Ontario, Canada. 16" MBP, M1 Max, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM

Lol. This thing hauls. The new keyboard and form factor in general is amazing...and did I mention keyboard??? Physical keys (so long, touch bar) and such are just pure win. The screen is just incredible. Yes, it has weight ---- but so far haven't heard a fan kick on. Even the speakers are good. Sheesh. Indexing, etc. (data transfer from old mac and set-up) was no issue.

---When I click on the "Track shipment" link from the Apple order page, it takes me to UPS tracking but still shows this:
Same for me, updated after a few days.

Finally. 16” M1 Pro 32GB / 2 TB has been marked as shipped via FedEx. Ordered Nov 10


Apple says delivery Dec 8. FedEx doesn’t give a date yet but shows it’s in Shanghai

My big question is that I would love to pick this up at a local FedEx location so the package doesn’t get stolen as I live in a big city metro area. I don’t see that option, just a vacation hold which just delays normal delivery. Has anyone been able to redirect their package (meaning to a FedEx location)? Normally FedEx let’s me do this but if the shipper has put limitations on the package the customer can’t. Wondering if the option will appear after it gets out of customs?
If it's like other FedEx packages I've received, you should get the option to change delivery once it has made it to the US and is closer to delivery.

It's moving - there just isn't a status update yet. Once it arrives at next destination and is scanned, it will update.
