I ordered a macbook air M1 on January 10th. Standard option. 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD. I would like to know how long it takes to process my order? Today it is still in "processing" and has not changed status
Probably sometime around Jan 31. Basically, your Mac is being made in China, then it will be shipped on a pallet from China to a distribution point in your country, and only then will it be 'preparing to ship', and the next day it will likely ship overnight to you. For my last two Macs, it updated to preparing to ship two days before delivery, and in both cases delivery was on the last 1-2 days of the window.

Still processing sadly. :( But the words under the bar have changed from “we have all the information we need” to “as soon as the item is ready, we’ll send you an update”. Hoping this means its either off the production line or close.
My expected delivery date hasn’t changed so hoping that’s a good sign as well.
Just checked the process and it shows preparing to ship now. There was a little problem with my bank flagging the purchase, but it does look like I’ll receive it within the stated window (but towards the end of it).
Great! Mine it's still processing and says: "We have everything necessary to complete your order. We’ll update your delivery date when your order is preparing to ship." My window it's from Jan 26 to Feb 2
My computer got here today. It didn’t come from China like most people are saying there’s have. It came from TN. If yours mirrors mine, I would say the 28th should be the day the charge your account and you should get the 30th.
It came from China. Macs aren’t made in Tennessee or anywhere else in the US. As I said above, units are shipped in bulk (pallet/crate with hundreds of Macs) to distribution points in countries, then the individual units are shipped from there to customers.
Mine was FedEx. When you ordered yours it should of said what type of shipping it was. You can also look on your order and see what type of shipping it has with it. When I ordered it only had the express shipping listed.
It changed to preparing to ship right after I called the bank about the transaction. So it should go to preparing to ship right after you payment goes through.
Was it shipped today or delivered today.
and when did it change from processing to preparing to ship.
also I ordered a week after you, as I’ve already mention but my window is a later than yours, but a day early.
They charged my card around 4:30am yesterday. Called my bank around 7:15am. Reapplied my card information in my order right after my call to the bank and it changed to preparing to ship yesterday morning at 7:30am.
The label was created at 10:54am. It was picked up in TN at 12:17pm and was delivered today at 12:54pm in Florida. So you should have it a day after it ships.
I hope it comes soon for you!
Thanks. Also what day did you call the bank? And yes it said express shipping. To clarify, I ordered exactly a week after you.. so if anything I should get it by next Friday latest.
you said yours was fedex but failed to tell me if you it in your hands today or it was shipped today.
I like this reply. More info. Also I might probably get it Wednesday or Thursday... considering the wait window shrunk to 2 weeks, unlike you and I that got the 3 weeks. I like ups better because I have an account and have all my packages go to the access point which is around the corner from me. Which means I’ll have to watch for fedex like hawk.
I called my bank yesterday and it shipped 4 hours after I had called. So for the express shipping you should get it within a day of when it ships.
and I feel like it may be FedEx that you get because the last two times I got something from Apple. (5 years ago and 3 years ago they were both FedEx for me).
The waiting is hard. Especially once it hits saying it’s preparing for shipping.
Lol. I’m an fan, I have all of their products. All. I just gave my brother the MacBook Air 12inch I had. It was spotless. It had keyboard cover, glass screen protector, and a clear hard shell protector. And I’ve done the same for this one I’m waiting on. I just picked up the extension adapter from the ups access point around the corner. And you are right, it will be fedex. From the hundreds of orders I’ve done since 2008.

I assume my order is going to be updated tomorrow. Taking into account that my delivery window is from January 26 to February 2
Why would you assume that? It could be updated to 'preparing to ship' and then to 'shipped' both on 01-Feb, and be delivered on 02-Feb.
Nope, mine its still saying: "we have everything we need..." But my delivery window it's from Jan 26th to Feb 02. So I guess that mine it's going to update tomorrow to: "As soon as the item is ready.."
How long does it take to process my order 2021?
