I ordered Macbook Pro M2 Max on Tuesday.

Expected delivery date is 24th, this Tuesday. It's been "preparing to ship" since Thursday and had my Credit Card billed.

I'm assuming at this point there's stock locally that is sent directly out to pre-orders, because at this point, it's not going to arrive in time if it's shipping from China!

Only BTO MacBooks are shipped from china. Apple will have stock of non customised Macs in warehouses across the country.

All other Mac's I've ordered were BTO, so always been sent directly from China. This one is not BTO, so wasn't sure.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Got an 11AM pickup appointment on Tuesday at one of the Apple Stores out near my parents.

Getting a visit in and saving $60 on sales tax, two birds with one stone haha

I ordered from Best Buy. Do those usually get delivered on release day or shipped on release day?

I assume that this is starting to hit for most of the 24th deliveries but just received shipment notification for a spec MBP 14” M2 Max. Still only have a pending charge.

Ordered a 14" M2 Max / 96GB on launch day, Jan 17th. It has been "Preparing to Ship" for a couple of days. I called the Apple Customer Support to see if they could give me any additional specifics on shipping. They said it was in the US and my status should change relatively soon with a tracking number.

This is good advice for other people. Any tips others would like to suggest for pre-order threads that would helpful information for those who need it? Maybe I’ll look at previous pre-order threads from other older posts.

My pickup order for Thursday 26th Jan for M2 Max / 64GB just got pushed back to 5-7 business days. No explanation why. Rather frustrating as I'm leaving the country for several weeks and thought I had it timed perfectly to arrive before I go away. I'm hoping it's just a default message on the system.

My CTO 16" was ordered the morning of the 17th and it was updated as shipped this morning with an expected delivery of 1/30 (Apple) or 1/31 (UPS). Of course I fly out of town on the 29th for a week-long work trip.

Bit silly to order something knowing you're going away.

Looks like the CTO orders are slightly delayed perhaps? Got an email from Apple saying "Due to an unexpected delay, your pick up date has changed". I'm reviewing my options here, might cancel and go for the 96gb after all and pick up later in February.
m2 max 16 inch mpb 96gb 8tb. shipping to my pad. got credit card deets but still at prepare stage - feb 3-7.

Update: Either I misheard the Apple rep or they got it wrong in regards to the Macbook being in the US. I just got a UPS notification saying it waiting for final clearance in Shanghai, CN. The UPS deliver date is Jan 31st while Apple still says Feb 1-3.

My CTO order has shipped; its delivery date has slipped by a single day (from the 26th to the 27th), but I have a tracking number and its moving.

However last night my tracking number was saying delivery on Tue, Jan 31 - but now the tracking has been updated to just say "The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible."
