You do not need to call unless the device does not arrive by the date indicated on the most recent status email you receive fro Apple.


Very few Apple products are inventoried in a warehouse. Almost all modern manufacturers of items with options, from cars to phones, have transitioned to "just in time" manufacturing, meaning the device does not exist until the order system sends a build command to the assembly line.


This is very important for devices like notebook computers that have batteries. You get a computer whose battery is days old, not months old as could happen were it a warehoused item.


For an excellent overview of this exact process as applied to automobile manufacturing, check out this James May documentary on Prime Video:

I understand your concern about the delay in shipping. Unfortunately, I don't have access to specific order details. It's recommended to reach out directly to the customer support of the platform or company from which you made the purchase. They should be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your order.
