UK 14"/16" M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro (2021) Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

Thanks for posting this link, I’ve never tracked a flight with an Apple order before!
Usually for me only UK tracking for launch day delivery, so this is unusual…
Still have hope for delivery tomorrow!!

Just crossed the Caspian Sea and into Russian airspace.


Just under 4 hours to go

am I the only one with another window open tracking that UPS-11 flight?

The annoying thing is, we wont know until midnight at least if they are being delivered tomorrow or monday... but from previous experience of an item coming from Germany, it did literally do an overnight and end up at my house the next day, a whole day earlier than their estimate...

Need to see if I can find the corresponding cologne to stanstead flight later. Assume there might be one to East Midlands and else where too

After doing some digging, I've managed to find out that some DHL shipments landed at Leipzig this morning (from Hong Kong). They're being shipped on a pallet, with a "Master Airway Bill" so no individual package tracking will be updated until this is broken up. DHL are sure they will either be delivered tomorrow or Monday.

Great job Craig. It gives us all hope. Until then fingers crossed.

In the past my parcels went to the East Midlands from there so I will need to find that flight if I know how

To STN, Flightradar24 shows that in the past 7 days there's been 5X4, 5X18 and 5X236, all leaving between 1am and 5am CEDT.

To EMA, there seems to be a daily 5X232 that leaves Cologne at around 2am (but sometimes later); the aircraft then carries on to Philadelphia.

Just cancelled my order with Apple for the base model 14" which has been stuck on "Processing" since the 19th & ordered the same spec machine from Amazon Uk which delivers tomorrow. Annoying as I could have picked one up on my day off yesterday if I'd known how long Apples order process was going to take! Fingers crossed Amazon don't mess up now

DHL boat here, apple website was showing 29-2, on Tuesday changed to 2.10 and it changed to coming soon. Is coming soon better than 2.20🤔

 

[David1986H]

You dont realise how long flights takes to get from Seoul to cologne.

Only takes 1 hour to get from cologne to EMA, crazy

UPS states that parcels coming from Europe with UPS Express Saver arrive the next day in the UK.

If the plane is really landing at 16.38UTC, there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't get them tomorrow. Especially given the fact that these parcels are already travelling through the UPS network.

In terms of 5x232, Flight Radar seems to omit a flight tonight (early 29 Oct).

It just seems to be East Midlands > Philadelphia

and not

Cologne > East Midlands > Philadelphia

That's bad. Though this is an Express Saver shipment. Do you remember which shipment tier you had at the time?

It was UPS Standard

 

[alexqndr]

It was UPS Standard

As you can see UPS Standard is a much slower shipment:

Here's official UPS tier list:

So there is still hope.

Technically UPS did have our parcels since Monday night/ Tuesday morning I believe

 

[alexqndr]

Digging some more I've got more precise estimates for UPS Express Saver from Cologne:

Cologne to UPS Hub in Luton:

Cologne to my location in west London:

The word Guaranteed excites me.

Plane in landing at 17.36pm. 1/2h ahead of latest pickup time and 30/60m ahead of scheduling window.

they did, but as with everything Apple, they were probably on strict instruction to get them delivered within the apple estimated windows. Its like the iPhone every year, its already sitting in the UK, they just get sorted and shipped locally the night before.

I love how UPS 5x11 is being tracked by so many people on Flight Radar 😂

Even with the mechanical delay, I’m so jealous of the UPS crew on here

Waiting on DHL is so boring in comparison

You just need better keyboard detectives lol. I am sure there's someone out there capable of tracking your plane.
