Current hypothesis: ATT allowed me to order (and pay Express Shipping for) a pair of AirPods they didn't actually have on hand (I must have been right at the tail end of the inventory). Unfortunately, because ATT had seemed very reliable and fast in this thread, I canceled my BB pre-order from many days back. Learn from my mistake, don't cancel your other pre-orders until you have the item in hand. :)
To be fair, all I have is a tracking number on a package that hasn't entered the system. Plus I'm in the same Metroplex as the warehouse (presumably) so that could be a factor. Who knows.

Definitely not. Haven't cancelled my best buy order. I'm going to keep it as backup. I'm hoping to score a pair through AT&T myself, right when it goes up. Iffy about catching it a little later and may just wait until verizon opens again..

Just got a second email from ATT saying they got my order (I already got one confirmation when I ordered 24 hours ago). Still no shipping date or tracking info though.

My most recent order with AT&T over the weekend was cancelled w/o reason.

I called customer service and they said most likely it was mis-matching of my credit card info to my billing address (a typo maybe)? but my Amex was authorized so I know I entered the number correctly. I asked if I could correct the info

"No, after the order is canceled, we can't correct and re-submit, you must submit a new order"

Me "but it's out of stock"

Them" sorry nothing i can do"

Placed 2 orders last week (Target and Verizon). Just received shipping confirmation and both will be delivered tomorrow.

Meanwhile my BB order from last week is still showing processing.

Caved in and bought on eBay, should be here Friday at the latest. Will be selling my AirPods from Best Buy to cover the small cost difference and make a few extra dollars.

I ordered AirPods from Best Buy on Jan. 10th, where the availability was "Ship by 3/1." Today, Jan. 16th, my order changed to Shipped and I received USPS tracking. Less than a week - I'm very impressed.

I'm quoting myself (LOL) to give an update: Per USPS tracking I should be receiving my AirPods on Friday. So that means ordered on 1/10, and receiving on 1/20. Just a 10 day turnaround! So much for 6 weeks delay.

Same here ordered on 1/11 and receiving on 1/20, the tracking of USPS was on preshipment for like 2 days, and it just updated today.

Still nothing from ATT on an order placed day before yesterday; they must have sold stock they didn't actually have. So I just did what I should have done when I didn't get tracking within 24 hours--re-did an order at Best Buy. At least this time I was able to use the $25 off for Visa Checkout.

Looks like the expected apple store refill went to Australia.

We added monitoring and notifications of 3000+ Target stores, could be a new opportunity. (Target Online also a recent option).

Canadian folks may get notified for Best Buy now also.
In Canada, some The Source stores seem to have stock :

God damn they went fast lol, showing OOS all ready, not that it matters for me in the UK lol.

Got the AirPods -- they are excellent. They work excellent in the gym -- they don't fall out of your ears etc. I would say the AirPods are about 25%-ish better quality than the EarPods. Alright bros, checking out this thread. Good luck

It's been 36 days since they went on sale. The supply line can't actually be this constrained can it?

Placed an order with Apple on December 19th, shipping in 6 weeks with delivery on 5th Feb.
Card charged today, and prepping for shipment. Should arrive in the next 4-5 days.

Ordered mine on 12/15 and they still show as "processing" with a 2/1 delivery. Called Apple and was told that there was no way that an order placed 4 days later would ship first.

And the truth is...?

4am I got an email from iStockNow saying Currys.co.uk had them in stock, checked at 6:30am when I saw the email and out of stock. Who is buying them at 4am? :eek:

We got some feedback, they had stock and you could order. :cool:

Pretty good sign for UK, if Currys got some, probably others will too.
