I ordered my new MacBook Pro 16 inches in the mid of March, the delivery date said it'll arrive in the mid of April or the end of April. And I checked again today the delivery was delayed it was changed from the start of June to mid-June. This is ridiculous, I can't wait that long for my laptop. I need to go travel abroad in the mid of May and I need the new laptop desperately. Is there any solution that I can contact Apple or suggestion?.
The total Zero Covid Tolerance in China is causing a major ripple effect with delays of custom MacBook Pros. It is something Apple has absolutely no control over since the Chinese Government has closed manufacturing facilities.

Since you have a date deadline you must meet, it would be advisable to check with other retailers to see if they have one close to your desired spec in stock. If not, you have no choice but to wait and while I'm sure Apple would be happy to speak with you, they can't speed up your device over other devices ordered.

i just found the B&H has some higher end custom configs in stock. I just cancelled my order direct to Apple and bought one of the B&H MacBooks. It’ll arrive in LA on Monday! Woohoo!
If you open their support chat on the website, they can give you exact quantities in stock for models. In the end I spent a little more because I chose a different config with a larger internal SSD, but probably a good thing.

You can contact Apple here: Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple
If you need a computer sooner than the expected delivery date you can visit a store and buy an in stock computer.
I feel your pain. I ordered my custom MacBook on Feb 11th. My delivery date has changed twice, and now currently estimates May 9-16.
…and the worst part is my wife accidentally dumped a mug of coffee on my old MacBook a few days ago. Fried!
COVID-19 and staffing shortages are causing shippingt delays worldwide. This is a common problem now days and unfortunately the only surefire fix is time.
Facing the same problem man 🥲
Order my MacBook Pro 16 on the 26th Feb and supposed to receive it by April and got delayed 2 times to May and then now to June-July. Hopefully they would ramp up production after the restrictions.🤞
Expected delivery date
Delayed delivery date
I’m sorry to hear that. Hope yours comes soon!
Mine just updated again this morning- now estimated June 28 - July 11.
The status of my order have changed recently to “preparing to ship”. The arrival dates remain the same but I hope it would change soon.
That's a very good sign and usually, changes from Preparing to Ship to Shipped pretty quickly.
Mine also changed to preparing to ship today
Today just received an email from apple the delivery will arrive next week.
