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. Longer thread on MH here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/machookup-airpods-stock-alerts.2024242/

Thanks for the update. I already signed up for your service like a week ago and hunting down since then. Tommorrow, is the last time I will go and try my cahnce at the Apple store in Berkeley or order online.

Hm. Machookup launched only two days ago. Maybe you signed up for a different service?

I've been circling like a shark between my Apple app, Best Buy, Target & the istock site. The Apple Store in Berkeley on 4th street never has stock so I gave up & couldn't wait any longer. I ordered a pair on eBay!! Just got them today & they are AWESOME! Worth the wait

I ordered a pair from AT&T this morning before their daily stock depleted. With regular shipping they've already shipped and are reaching me tomorrow. Give them a shot in the AM.

You are right and good luck with your airpods. I am also fed up with the 4th Street Store's stock (even though its always nice to see the specialist girl :D ) and ordered from Apple.com. Hopefully, they will arrive before than 6 weeks.

Ordered on 12/13/16 at around 12:30PM PST for delivery on 1/12/17 and finally see that my order is now "preparing for shipment." Good thing because the CC I used is expiring today.

I ordered mine 3:30pm EST 12/13/16. Card was just charged ~8:00pm yesterday 12/30/16 and arrival seems to be 01/04 or 01/05 to NYC (from Shanghai of course).

So it looks like they are getting past the first 5 hours of orders finally.

Good luck all!
