You have the identical twin of mine. Exact spec. I ordered mine on Nov 5th, Est. delivery Dec 23-30. No movement yet.
Got a tip for us?

My 16” M1 Max 10-core CPU, 32-core 64GB should be here tomorrow. 
My 16" M1Pro 32GB 1TB was delivered today.
Ordered evening of Nov 8. All-in-all, not bad compared to the horror stories I've read across various threads.
Other than Messages refusing to sync with iCloud (I have messages on my iPhone that don't show in Messages on my new MBP, even after trying to manually sync through preferences), no glaring issues thus far. I still need to put it through its paces, however.
I'm coming from a mid-2014 15" i7 16GB, so this feels like a huge leap. Size- and weight-wise, pretty much the same too. When I learned of these new AS MBPs, my plan was to await first real refresh, which I assumed at the time would be Fall 2022. However, my 2014 MBP has taken a big dive the last 45 days or so, so I felt compelled to buy now.

Another twin to that configuration ordered 10/12, est. delivery Jan 10-21.
I ordered my 16” M1 Max MacBook Pro on October 26. The expected delivery dates has remained unchanged since the initial order date, December 7 - 14. I am now inside the expected delivery window dates and my order status remains as “Processing”. Has there been any reports of dates being pushed back once the order was within the delivery date range? I am asking because I have a ski trip coming up where I leave on the 16th so I am anxious to get it before I leave.

I would call apple. Does your configuration include 64gb ram? That seems to be the killer
Some unboxing photos... totally stoked! Can't wait to get to know the new machine better.
Good luck to everyone still waiting! It'll be worth it.

Update: shipped today (12/7/21) via DHL from Shanghai to Los Angeles. Scheduled delivery on 12/14 according to Apple, no date yet from DHL.
2nd day and, so far, FedEx still says "At FedEx destination facility" and "Scheduled delivery - pending". No clue what is up with FedEx. I'd be happy to pick it up myself if they gave me that option. I was so excited when the package escaped Memphis within 24 hours but it's in local blackhole now.
Does anyone know how accurate the Apple website is with its estimated delivery date? When I log in, it says it will be delivered this coming Tuesday. However, UPS’ tracking link doesn’t work. Odd that the UPS link isn’t working.
Just give it a day or two. I’ve found that local facilities take a while to work their way through inventory.
Well, I was finally able to talk to someone helpful at FedEx and they told me that the package will be delivered tomorrow like it was scheduled originally. They won't deliver it early even though it made it here three days early. I will make a quick drive to FedEx to see if I can pick it up myself.
My tracking code was sent on the 3rd and it's still not active. Called apple and they said to keep checking. Thanks Apple.
I'm in the same boat. I guess Apple has more up to date data on my item because it says it will be delivered next week but the tracking link doesn't work.
I would suggest contacting UPS directly. Provide them the tracking # from Apple. See what they say. Lots of reports on this thread indicate that there is a 3-7 day delay in tracking updates.
Since December 4th it says Shipped, but actual tracking is not in the UPS system yet. How long usually does it take? I know it may take 2-3 days but I was hoping I will see progress by Monday at least. Today is Tuesday the 7th and actual tracking on UPS site says : We could not locate the shipment details for this tracking number.
Reading these forums and over on reddit, it seems a pretty consistent issue that anyone (including myself) who received a UPS tracking number on Dec 3rd does not yet have any details from UPS even though Apple is showing delivery for next Tues, Dec 14th.
I'd seen someone suggest that all the numbers were printed in China, that our MBPs (usually 16" Max/32gb/2tb) were wrapped on a pallet, and put directly on a UPS plane to the US (and I think we're all on the recurring Shenzhen -> Anchorage flights, either 5X71 or 5X77). The first time that UPS will actually scan them is when they're cleared and handed off to US operations just not sure if that'll be Anchorage or the next hop after into the continental US. At least that's an explanation that makes sense rather than all of our laptops have been lost somewhere. It's a substantial group of people, extrapolating from the comments.
I'm also betting that we'll see deliveries starting around the end of the week rather than next week based on the UPS times I've seen between the tracking number being issued and the actual delivery. Apple seems to generally have a slightly later expected delivery date for *most* people.

Ah mine is going to OC so makes sense. Looks like ours will avoid Memphis...lol
Delivered! Grateful that the woman delivered for FedEx waited for me to come to the door instead of leaving it and running.
