Ask HN: Extreme MacBook Shipping Delays?
Hey HN - Is anyone else experiencing extremely long shipping delays for Macbooks? I ordered a 14-inch MBP* in March, and Apple’s showing that it’s estimated to arrive June 6-21 (!!). Are others experiencing similar? Should I contact someone about this?
(Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core; 32GB memory, 2TB SSD)
- ganoushoreilly 5y agoAlmost all of their systems are hit with the same delay times right now.
- wdb 5y agoGot to be because of the lockdown in China which probably makes it difficult to either to build the device or to get it transported

- atian 5y agoIt’s been like this for a few months.
- b20000 5y agothere is an ongoing global component shortage that affects all manufacturers. not sure if it was artificially created or if the shortage is real. i heard it had to do with the automotive industry changing their forecasts. but i find that hard to believe as many components have automotive variants.
- ganoushoreilly 4y agoI commented the other day, but wanted to add I just noticed that an SSD Kit for a 2019 Mac Pro that I ordered and was supposed to be delivered this week was also pushed back to June. It makes me think everything shipping from China was drastically held up with recent Closures / shipping issues.
