Folks! It’s confession time. I have a confession to make. I can’t hide it anymore. I need to get it off from my chest!

Well… I originally ordered total of 7 Apple Polishing Cloth. Yesterday I got an email 6 out of 1 got cancelled. However I’m promised by Apple they are sending me just one polishing cloth. Which is set to arrive on October 26th. Believe it or not they are delayed 2-3 months now and the delivery date is not even showing anymore.

Also, I got an email from yesterday from Apple Manager. They will be calling me to discuss further… I was not on my best behavior on Monday 😈 Call me crazy… lunatic… weird… extreme… insane… or whatever…it’s all good! 🥲🥲

How come you needed 7 😂
 
I can just imagine the Apple hallways buzzing with: "It's the hoarder! Cancel everything and give her a call!"
Pretty sure… Apple was going crazy on Monday. Well I was going crazy too. So someone had to take the heat. I told ya’ll it was a war zone. Battlefield!

But I am getting one on a launch date 😂it’s unfortunate it’s not 7.

Ahhh. I was expecting that you cancelled your MBP order while it was in the Processing stage, then upped the configuration causing a shipment delay. But then I saw your shipment confirmation.

No way. This world will end if my Mac 💻 order gets cancelled 😂

So I just found out about 6% back Apple Card. I used my Amex for purchase protection and extended warranty, but the extra 3% already covers AppleCare+ for the extended warranty period and the monthly installments would be a huge bonus (I don't like spikes in my yearly graph haha)

Apple specialist suggested I return and re-order but I already got emotionally attached to this MacBook, also won't ship until late November. Oh what to do

I guess your conversation with the manager was something like this:

Whilst joking about on this forum, I accidentally clicked a few buttons and ended up with this:

Strange that it says this late date, because the shop predicted 12-17 Nov before I added it to the basked. I expect it will travel through time like yours all did.

It's the 14", M1Max 24GPU cores, 32GB/2TB config. That's the maximum I had in mind. I was in doubt because of the price, but then I remembered I'm ordering on my company and I can deduct the 21% VAT they added to the price in the shop...

If I had to guess, they likely flagged the orders because they're all going to one place - and considering the resale market for new Apple "things" right after launch, they're likely trying to ensure that you're not trying to profit off of their low inventory.

I think your reasoning however (one for each device) is completely sound. ;)

Well, losing actually. Because Apple insists on accepting credit cards only and we do everything with debit cards or bank transfers, the purchase has been blocked. The credit card I do have has a very low limit. So tomorrow I need to beg the bank for a temporary limit increase. Sigh.

But this was the damage on Monday. I ordered other stuff too. Nothing else got cancelled. I cancelled the other Mac myself.

It’s all good. I’m not tripping. I’m expecting to get a call from Apple manager! Let’s see what they have to offer. What will they discuss to me. What are they going to say.
Apple corporate is going crazy.
