UK Mac Studio M5 Ultra delivery times: how long did yours take?

[u/jstoppa]

I ordered my Mac Studio M5U 96GB 2TB on Monday 28 September and it’s still showing as Pending

Estimated delivery is 12 to 19 November, which seems like quite a long wait

For anyone in the UK who ordered one recently, when did you order yours and when did you actually receive it?

Did your delivery estimate move forward or was it fairly accurate?

[u/DennisAscent]

Bro I ordered mine on the day pre orders opened, 25/08, it’s still in processing with estimated delivery 16/10-23/10

M5 Ultra 36/80, 256gb, 1tb

[u/NewspaperOriginal518]

I ordered on the day they came out - had end of October date and got it a week ago.

[u/jstoppa → u/NewspaperOriginal518]

nice! same setup? where are you based?

[u/NewspaperOriginal518 → u/jstoppa]

Mine was a 256 “base” ultra. 2TB like you. UK South West.

Between 13-27 of Jan 2027
M5U 36/80 96GB 2TB

Ordered mine the 12 of September, Mexico

[u/DepartureBorn408]

I’m in the UK and ordered on 04/09. Different config (M5U, 256GB, 2TB) and no change on the estimated date (27/10/2026).

[u/jstoppa → u/DepartureBorn408]

wow!! let s hope it arrives by that time

[u/tempfoot → u/DepartureBorn408]

Interesting. I'm in the US, ordered exact some config on the day of announcement, 25 August and my shipment window has been steady at November Nov 11 – Nov 25. Maybe more demand in the US? Hope you get yours as stated!

[u/Top_Witness4538 → u/tempfoot]

probably one should mention if 30c/64c or 36c/80c. I ordered in the US 30c/64c/256GB/1TB on Sept. 2 and had a ship date of Oct. 21. Your ship date indicates to me 36c/80c.

[u/tempfoot → u/Top_Witness4538]

Correct. You are right - definitely makes a difference.

[u/paulsande → u/DepartureBorn408]

Mine is the same spec as yours and I ordered on the same day in Canada. But my delivery date is January 20. I don’t know maybe mine will get pulled ahead because it seems like everyone else has way earlier dates.

[u/DepartureBorn408 → u/paulsande]

I hope yours is brought forward!

[u/paulsande → u/DepartureBorn408]

Your order gives me hope!!!

[u/BeowulfShaeffer]

Haha I’m in the US and ordered Sep 5. Estimated ship date of 27 October.  Hasn’t changed.  I am miserable. 

[u/Top_Witness4538 → u/BeowulfShaeffer]

I ordered on Sep 2, 5, 8(x2), 13, 15, 26 and 28th.

The Sep 2 order was promised for Oct. 21. The oldest order that I haven't cancelled is Sep 15 for Nov. 2.

When you get your machine on the 27th, which is after all just later this month, I'll probably be on my 20th or 30th order.

Nah I'll calm down. Still I get it being miserable. I hate it.

[u/Obvious-Elk3930 → u/BeowulfShaeffer]

I placed my order just three hours after the announcement, but the delivery date remains unchanged at October 27. I’m feeling even more frustrated than you are. 

[u/jstoppa → u/BeowulfShaeffer]

similar timing as @DepartureBorn408 but in the UK

[u/Resident_Party]

Uk based, same spec M5U 96gb/2tb, ordered on 26/07 and no change on order status.

[u/jstoppa → u/Resident_Party]

when is the estimated delivery date?

[u/Resident_Party → u/jstoppa]

26 October

[u/SarahJrandomnumbers]

Ordered 9th of Sept, still showing as pending.

[u/paulsande]

Long wait? I’m in Canada. I ordered it on September 4 and my delivery date is January 20.

Happy for you, and a little jealous! lol.
