It was listed originally 25-27 of November, then bumped up to today, but some mechanical issue in Kentucky caused it to get delayed. It'll supposedly arrive tomorrow.

"mechanical issue in Kentucky"?

UPS truck ran off road? or ???
 
Whoever merged this thread missed the point of the post. The point of the thread I created, was the speed of two day shipping, not the shipping date of my MacBook pro.


All,

I chose the $8.00 express shipping on my 16" MacBook Pro. According to Apple's order tracking page, my MacBook Pro began the shipping process at 2:20PM yesterday. I just received notification my MacBook Pro will deliver by "End of Day" tomorrow via UPS.

If this shipping schedule holds, shipping from China will take 2 days. I don't know the shipping times for non express shipping from Apple, but I will gladly pay $8.00 for a two-day turnaround on my MacBook Pro.

Went with the same config - seems like a sweet IMHO, ordered on 15th and due Dec 2-4 (UK)- just this AM it shifted to Preparing to Ship. Wonder how long before it actually ships. Apple Pay card payment already taken but pending.
Fingers crossed we get a moved up arrival date once this ships! :)
 
No clue :/ It literally just says "Mechanical Issue". Oh well I suppose I can wait another day.

Same has happened to me today. Just says “mechanical issues” and instead of Nov 26, the new delivery date is now the 27th.
Have you received yours already? Or were there any further issues?
 
Ordered on November 20th. Original delivery estimate was 29th to Dec 3rd.
Item shipped yesterday and is scheduled for delivery on the 25th.

  • 2.3GHz 8‑core
  • 32GB
  • AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB
  • 1TB SSD storage
 
Apple bumped it to December 2nd, but UPS says November 29th. Interesting.

2.4 ghz i9, 64 gb, 2 tb, 5500M 8 gb.
 
Ordered Nov 18...shipped today! Still shows Dec 5 pickup date at the store. Hope that changes.

MAXed out MBP, including 8TB SSD (no more dragging around external SSDs, for awhile).

It was supposed to come today but UPS ignored my Signature authorization and didn’t deliver the laptop. They came when my roommate was in the shower. I’m absolutely desperate for it and need it today for work. They said I can come pick it up at their one warehouse later this evening. I really hope it’s in my hands today.

My delivery date was November 30th-December 3rd. Then it was changed to delivered by 11/25 two days ago. Then this morning it said will be delivered today 11/22 by the end of the day. I received it around 3pm today. I’m in SoCal
 
My 2.4,64GB,2TB,5500M 8GB has shipped and I have my DHL reference - mentions Express even though I never had that option via Apple.
Was slated for Dec 2nd-4th - now updated to a firmer looking date: Tuesday 3rd December. UK

DHL info just says: Tracking information received. Shipment not yet picked up by DHL, EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS

Now I have another tracking website to keep pointlessly refreshing! ;)

I kept refereshing for five days, then everything happened in18 hours. It is a pity we can not track the package while on route to Europe.

This is pretty much what happened to mine (2.3/32GB/1TB/5500M 8GB), ordered 14th for delivery to UK.

Status changed to “shipped” early afternoon GMT on Tuesday 19th. An hour or two afterwards, DHL had the Eindhoven “shipment information received“ status. That changed to “processed at Amsterdam” yesterday (Friday 22nd) evening and then “departed facility” there early today.

Delivery scheduled for Monday 25th, having originally been 29th - 3rd. So it may not have left Schiphol yet, or could conceivably be coming to the UK by road (although I doubt that).

My impression is that when the shipment information received message appears, it is still in China, waiting to be assigned to a flight to Europe (which, in my case, appears to have taken approx. 3 days).
