UPS November 3-10 estimate, but stuck in ZhengZhou?

[andrewj]

Anyone get an estimate for November 3-10, with UPS shipping notification October 30, but have their watch stuck in ZhengZhou, China? My 45 mm titanium has been in ZhengZhou since November 1 with the "Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date" status. Interestingly today, for a few hours, the status showed that was expected to deliver November 3 by 7 pm. Also interestingly, on the Apple website, it mentions delivery for November 10.

Since Nov 10 is still a week away, I think you just need to be patient. Once your Watch clears customs it can get from ZhengZhou to your house in under 48 hours.

Though what's odd is that when I initially received a notification that it was shipped, Apple was estimating November 10, but UPS was estimating November 3!

In the same position as you. Pre-ordered MacBook Pro 14' with delivery date 5-10 November. Package was shipped on Oct. 29 and got to Zheng Zhou on Nov. 1. No updates since then. Original delivery date was Nov. 3, but then it got updated to be Nov. 5. Apple estimates delivery on Nov. 9.

Edit: Just checked again and UPS delivery date is now Nov. 8. Pretty crappy service from UPS side.

It’s almost as if Apple knows more about the actual delivery date being farther out than UPS itself, which seems odd.

Same boat for MBP. ZhengZhou black hole since Nov 1

It looks like it's finally on the move after being stuck in ZhengZhou since 11/1/21. It looks like it transited through Korea today, three days later.

Woof, good luck mate. It seems that my package is finally got out of China and now it's sprinting to get to me. The estimated arrival date got update to today - Nov. 5. Looks like there is a massive backlog in Zheng Zhou. I am pretty sure your package will be delivered on or before Nov. 9.

In the same boat. Perhaps literally. MacBook Pro 14" M1 Max. Stuck in ZhengZhou since November 1st. Apple's original window was Nov 5-10 and has since narrowed to the 9th. UPS was saying the 4th but now is open-ended. Patience has been the name of the game with this MacBook -- Waiting for announcements, launch, and now shipping. It's gonna be so worth it though!

That does seem like a long time. My Apple Watch was in ZhengZhou from November 1-4.
