Problem is DHL gives zero information between “picked up” in China and when it hits the UK. So there’s next to nothing to go on.

The optimism you guys have is admirable but I think you are all going to be disappointed. It says monday now and I think it will be monday. A man can dream but I don't think you can logic your way around the fact UPS have pushed it back to monday for a reason.
yet all of you guys may actually get deliveries on Friday, where us UPS lot could be waiting till monday
Thought some of you might appreciate this post I found on Reddit about the UPS plane that suffered a failure…
*might* and *could* being the operative words… and you get entertainment while you wait!!
mine looks similar but I am on a windows machine - i wont post screenshots here, windows 11 is horrendous!
Ha, I use Windows every day for work. I can empathise with the pain
I've just set a timer to watch the landing in 3D... This is escalating quickly
- There's only one plane doing the Korea>Cologne route at a time.
- All UPS planes coming from Asia to Europe pass through the Cologne DHL HUB.
- Looking at the tracking we can see that the parcel has left Korea. So by filtering UPS planes on flightradar, you can see the planes currently (or soon) travelling the route.
What... 😂
3d view gang...

I hope you're ready to have that top bar interrupted when you get your new notch!
Well now thats a pretty cool site, if only to see the sheet amount of air traffic above Europe at any one point.
Well... following @craigy2302's investigation, I found the plane that DHL-delivered 29th Oct - 2nd Nov. estimated MacBook Pros were allegedly on - flight no. BOX583. I searched for all flights that left Hong Kong and were due to arrive in Leipzig today, and there was only one that fit the bill. This is an AeroLogic flight - which I learned is a joint-venture between DHL and Lufthansa Cargo, so it seemed even more likely to be the correct flight.
It arrived in Leipzig from Hong Kong at 12:44. It then left Leipzig less than two hours later, and arrived in East Midlands Airport at about 14:45 UK time. That flight was a DHL-specific flight, so again, it seems pretty likely to be the correct one. East Midlands is actually DHL's main base in the UK, so... again, it lines up.
Unfortunately, nothing has yet been updated on DHL's tracking yet, so while I'm reasonably sure all the above info is correct - it's entirely based on the DHL agent receiving the correct information about the UK-bound DHL Macs being part of some mega-pallet/waybill that was flying from Hong Kong to Leipzig as of this morning, and therefore bypassing most scanning opportunities.
However, if it is correct... I think it suggests we might be in luck with getting our Macs tomorrow! (I'm really hoping it does)
I'm with the DHL crew. ETA at ordering was 8-11 November.
On Monday got DHL message and Apple email saying delivery 1st Nov.
Still as picked up since Monday.
I'm still happy if it arrives Monday, earlier than I thought.
