Signed up for an account just to thank the OP.

After trying unsuccessfully to grab these in store all last week and having missed the Verizon rush, I ordered from ATT at 10:00am HST on 12/22, got FedEx shipment confirmation (free standard) at 1:00pm HST with delivery scheduled by 5:30pm on 12/27. Airpods showed up yesterday to my surprise = Happy wife for Christmas.

So lucky I did standard near that time and they'd be out tommorow -.-

My order from Thursday morning, via standard shipping, is set to be delivered tomorrow. Even though USPS was closed Sunday/Monday, shipments kept moving.

I'm excited to get mine from ATT tomorrow. I saw a guy at the bar today with AirPods. I mean, dude, a bar is a place to socialize; wireless headphones are still headphones. I guess it's the same dbags that wore Bluetooth headsets everywhere in 2002.

Got mine from best buy already. Canceled att. Who knows what went wrong

Funny. I ordered at AT&T after you on Thursday because it appeared my Wednesday Best Buy order was going to be backordered for a while. Then you ordered at Best Buy a couple days after me and got them before my non-backordered AT&T order (which should arrive later today).

The things we do for our Apple products ...

Bestbuy said backordered in my account after i ordered but then i all of a sudden got a shipping notice. They sent it 2 day (im elite plus), but it came in 1. I also got to use the $15 bonus they were offering, so i guess it all worked out better in the end

Very nice. Hope you enjoy them.

I've been hoping for AirPods ever since the original iPhone came out. Hoping the experience is as good as most people seem to be having.

Received mine today. Ordered from ATT last Thursday night.

Ordered from AT&T Thursday about noon. Received an email last night that said shipping had been delayed until Jan 22nd. Was able to order from Verizon this morning. Got a shipping email from FedEx 3 hours later. Canceled at&t order.

My Thursday morning AT&T order arrived about two hours ago. I haven't used them yet, but they look perfect — none of the separation that others have complained about. The button on the back of the case is so small and unobtrusive that I had to look for it (and I bet more than a few people don't realize it's there at all).

For a guy, the case seems awesome. Instead of having earbuds tangled up in a front pocket, the case seems small enough to easily have in a front pocket for easy AirPods storage and charging.

Got mine today! Absolutely love them! Returned my solo 3 as I love the freedom these give me without hurting my ears and being bulky. Apple nailed these!

Ordered mine from AT&T late Thursday night around 9pm with free standard shipping. They were sent USPS Priority on Friday and I got them this morning. I am very impressed so far, I would agree Apple nailed it with these. As many have mentioned the only drawback is the lack of physical controls but I can live with that as the Apple Watch controls are amazing!

I had also placed an order with Best Buy on Wednesday that kept bouncing between "processing" and "backordered". Cancelled it as soon as they shipped from AT&T.

Looks like AT&T got some more inventory in. On Monday I got an email notifying me that my shipment was delayed with a new shipment date of 1/22. An hour ago I got another email from them that my order shipped and will be here tomorrow. I ordered them on the 23rd.

Are you sure you guys weren't charged? It doesn't seem like it would be possible to complete an ATT.com order without a credit card authorization being approved.

It was preauthorized last week. it says canceled when i log in but i have a shipping notice, might even be at my house by now. The preauth has dropped off with no posted charge. Who knows.

I never checked for pre-auth last week when I ordered, but I have nothing on my cc now. I looked for an email from at&t saying the order was canceled, but couldn't find anything. I found in my safari history the canceled order pages from at&t.
