I recent brought a custom Macbook Pro from Bestbuy i was able to custom the ram and get the core i9 but it got shipped and I got the tracking number and they said it is shipping right from Apple using pilot deliverys is this normal for Apple to do this ?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
The delivery service and companies used varies by location, and within region
also across larger expanse, such as in the EU; or across a country or continent.
FedEx and UPS are main players in some western US areas. DHL had some
forwarding business, in areas where larger ones didn't go. 'Freight forward'
services under contract, may use option; or be shipped by space available.
..Smaller regional carriers may fill in; as they do for remote 'air mail' routes..
Tracking services, where they exist, should be able to show progress in route.
[I've had both FedEx and UPS set new Apple computers out in snow and -30°F.
in semi-remote Alaska. Unaccountable 'contract drivers' had company vehicles.]
Most newer Mac products would be considered 'built to order' since they have
integrated system-on-chip shared memory and storage capacities. So if these
are not in-stock at some authorized Apple reseller, they'd be shipped direct by
Apple from their regional warehouse. ~ Or direct from a point-of-assembly.
A detailed invoice may show the route new products take, from China, etc.
Because most who may reply here are not Apple representatives nor employees
we're kind of like you. We use our own Apple products, volunteer time & pay our
own utility bills; and are geographically diverse by location and language.

leroydouglas:
They (Pilot) are a lot like others; that they're part of:
"a trusted network of global partners in 190 countries,
Pilot can move your freight anywhere in the world. Pilot
Freight Services is a full-service global transp.."
Here, near the "air-crossroads-of-the-world" we see many.
Some move air cargo and only stop to re-fuel. After soviet
'Iron Curtain', direct routes w/big loads are more common.

Very interesting ...
I found it it was DHL express
I called the Pilot and they said it wasn't one of they tracking numbers
i did find that odd they would send a laptop with freight
What shipping service does Apple use ?
