Mine says arrives Thurs on the Apple page. Shows as picked up by DHL in Shanghai 17:31 local yesterday. How long did you DHL guys have to wait between 'picked up' and the next update?

Really looking forward to getting it and setting up from scratch rather than doing a Time Machine backup this time!

Mine has been delivered, max 32 cores, 64 gb. But I’m stuck at Natural history museum, f*cling half term :)

So instead of a photo of the precious one I’m sending you this :D

DHL took ages to show anything, because our Macs all got batched as part of some mega-pallet from Apple - one which doesn't filter scans down to the tracking info for individual packages.

Yesterday, we heard from DHL that it was on a plane from Hong Kong to Leipzig, so it took about 4 days for anything to happen.

Long time lurker, first time poster - My DHL package has been on 'Shipment picked up' since Tuesday 26th morning (17:31 Shanghai time). I have been regularly checking in with the tracking websites and Apple's support service (as I'm sure all of us have!)

Today an Apple helper informed me that my package is in UK customs. My original delivery estimate at time of ordering (soon after the announcement) was 8th-11th Nov but moved to 2nd Nov when it reached the 'shipped' stage on the Apple order page. The Apple helper told me that it is on track to hit the 2nd but I am hoping that it comes on Monday.

Hope this info helps anyone else that has a BTO MacBook Pro that is set to be delivered on the 2nd!

Edit: My DHL tracking page still says 'Shipment picked up' in Shanghai though, which makes little sense...

at least you have something! I haven't had Hermes or Amazon knock at all today. Suppose thats a good thing, the Mrs ain't been spending money!

Anyone ordered any type of sleeve or case for their new 14in Pro?
 
Mine has finally shipped, now in limbo waiting for Syncreon to link up and tell me who it's coming with and how much misery I'm in for.
 
So many arrivals and I am empty handed. Ordering in 1min after the event paid off... :rolleyes:

We need more pictures of these babies here though.
 
Very happy to receive my BTO 16” order today that was originally estimated for 8-12 Nov before moving forward to 1 Nov. I thought receiving it before the weekend would be touch and go with the “mechanical issues” but UPS did a great job in the end!

I realise this is a problem I'm lucky to have given that many are still awaiting delivery. I was lucky to bag an instore 16 Max on launch day, and got it with educational discount plus Apple Care. However on Thursday I happened upon the Edustore UK and it had the same model a couple of hundred quid cheaper with their 4 year warranty (no accidental damage). It showed as 'In Stock' so I bit the bullet and ordered. However customer services are now saying they cannot rule out the now quoted 36 days delivery. Do I cancel my Apple return and keep it, and bin the EduStore order with the possible wait?

I just don't think I can part with this awesome BEAST without a near immediate replacement! I know it will cost me a good few quid but I genuinely have the vibe this is a top quality MBP 'build'. It's a nice dilemma to have, but it is still a dilemma!

Hope you're all loving your new machines!

I don't have any direct experience with them myself, but from what I've seen from some people on here, edustore uk seem dodgy as f.
