I was going to succumb to the scalpers as i wanted a pair for my wife as an xmas gift but had an interview for a new job on the day they went on sale. So glad i caught these. hopefully they actually have them and get them to me asap.

Got mine but it said the 23rd, not sure how tomorrow wasn't an option.
I will take it though!

really my best buy order says 22nd maybe you missed the 22nd delivery date by a minute or two.

Most likely and thats ok. Just glad to have an order in and a confirmed pair before Christmas as a gift for someone.

Aww sucks dude.

I already have a pair and was going to snag a 2nd set to give as a Christmas gift. No big deal really just wanted to post so others don't waste their time looking because they are back out of stock..

I'm in the same boat. I need a second pair for the wife's Christmas. Because when she sees mine, I'm going to be in big trouble ;)

I have a pair in cart at BB that says expected to ship Feb 9. Do they ship right away anyway or is this something new

Edt - I went for it, so I have an order in with BB and Sprint. If one ships I'll cancel/return the other!

Yes the date shows later than they actually have been shipping

I ordered a pair yesterday with a February date - they shipped today via Next Day Air. Just ordered another (same Feb date) - hoping they ship tomorrow so I can have both before Christmas.

i got mine order in today at Best Buy when showed i would get by 12/27. Best Buy already charged debit card and got e-mail confirmation from Best Buy. Went to look at status and showing Backordered. Oh well.

Bad part is they hit my debit card before shipping. They should at least reverse the charge if not really shipping.

Uhm..... You mean you aren't going to have any air pods until you can get a 2nd order in because YOUR WIFE is going to have the pair coming first! :)
Haha something like that. I wished I'd just ordered 2 pairs from the git-go. I seriously didn't think these little guys would be so cool. Boring old bluetooth headset, right? Who'd want that for Christmas? (Answer: Me, the geek)

But as someone mentioned on another thread, these hark back to Apple's past when everything was simple, easy and just worked. Geeky me doesn't mind tweaking settings and being patient, but my wife has no tolerance for all that nonsense. Past bluetooth headsets have been abandoned because they never paired reliably, sounded terrible or were just plain-old awkward for everyday use. These are different.

Happily I scored another pair in the last hour (thank you iStockNow!!!). They popped up in Atlanta for all of 3 minutes and were then gone.

Now to plot a furtive trip downtown to pick them up!

Haha, Christmas! :)

I ordered when they said 12/23 and it showed get it by 12/23 on the order status page, but now it's showing backordered. The order status page still shows get it by 12/23. But it also keeps flip-flopping back to in progress. I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Yeah ordered one from Bestbuy today showing 12/29 delivery. It says backorder. I guess they'll ship it as soon as they have stock in
