AirPods, Order/Shipping Thread

Received UPS notification that package is out for delivery today. (Ordered from Apple)
I've had mine since the 19th, and I'm enjoying them. I've gone running with them a number of times, and they haven't fallen out or felt like they were going to fall out. They stay in even when tilting my head 90 degrees right or left, but I know that different ears may not have the same experience. They sound noticeably better than the LG Tone Pros that I had been using, and it's nice not having the wires and housing around my neck.
Thanks for the info. I'm about an hours drive from Halifax but I may make the trip this evening.
If you don't understand, then you don't have to.
Just received two emails from Apple Online Store Executive Relations about my complaints. I won't ask for anything just my AirPods on time.
I am not saying they are late. I am saying that someone ordered after me, and their estimate delivery date is later than me. Now they have received it, or their AirPods are on the way, but there is no further information for mine. I only received one order confirmation after I placed the order.
It's unfair, right?

I am sorry to say that you are wrong. And I have to say, I believe that "this generation of millennials" can do much better than me to defend their rights.
Sorry but you come across entitled and impatient. And your characteristics sadly make up a large portion of millennials. Please do everyone a favor and leave this thread.
With all the things going on in the world right now, to be crying about fairness because somebody gets their order before you seems petty.
I guess I just don't get so worked up over such a first world problem. Apple has not taken your money yet. They are still within the window provided when you placed your order. Going to every complaint channel at this point seems silly to me, but I guess I have bigger things to worry about then somebody getting their Airpods before me.

Yep you are right. I am just a little bit impatient.

This reminds me of a story I once heard.
A man went out and found some men to hire for a job. He promised them a penny for the day's work (this was obviously forever ago when a penny was worth a lot more). A few hours later he went out and hired more men and promised them a penny for the day's work. Then again a few hours later (just a couple hours before quitting time) he hired even more and promised them a penny for the day's work.
The men who had been there all day were upset because they were getting the same payment as the men who only worked the last couple hours of the day. The man who hired them said something to the effect of, "You agreed to work till the end of the day for a penny. If you didn't think that was fair, why didn't you say something about it before I hired you?" Basically, they were perfectly happy with the agreement when he hired them, and he fulfilled his end of the contract. It's not really any of their business if he pays someone else the same price for less work.
Apple never promised that you would get the AirPods before someone else, regardless of when they ordered. Apple promised that you would get them sometime between now and end-of-day Jan 12. You have absolutely nothing to complain about unless they don't show up by the 12th of January. If that happens (which I highly doubt) come back and complain all you want.
Anyone know that Apple updates the store pickup option after hours ? Or any other website I can find with less then 6 weeks of shipping times ?
None for me. I ordered on launch day and got mine Tuesday, then I liked them so much I ordered another pair for my girlfriend. No movement so far, estimated 2/16.
I've seen very few store pickup stock updates after hours. Most of them happen during the day, if at all. I built Machookup, which will send you an alert when stores near your zip have pickup stock.
