I just got notification from my credit card company that Best Buy charged my card. I ordered on 1/22. I checked the status and it still says "In Progress". Hoping it updates later tonight.

I placed my order on 1/19 with Best Buy and it is still showing backordered/in progress. No pending charge on my credit card.

I got a notification also from my bank, and I believe it was just another "hold" from Best Buy. I am assuming the initial hold falls off after a certain number of days. I don't think you should get excited, your status will more than likely be the same tomorrow.:(
FYI: I ordered late on the 16th.

I just checked the bank and it appears thats what it was. It was a charge and then retraction -- again.

Oh well.....Patience.

Why the hell are they so expensive in the U.K.??

Our US Amazon site has them for 2 day shipping, but they are $425.


Actually, they don't. They say Pre-Order now and they're released on 10th February. Doesn't guarantee they'll arrive 10th February. Also, they're £10.99 more on Amazon.

48 days to go? 6 weeks is only 42 days...

Good point. Apple page says "Ships 6 weeks" and "Delivers 17 March".

Guess no harm in trying with them though. Nice thing with Amazon is cancellation and returns are easy and I'm pretty sure they don't charge your card until they have shipped(?).

Update on this: FedEx completed their investigation after a week but literally wouldn't tell me anything "The case has been closed. The shipper has to file a case. Sorry for the inconvenience".

During the wait for that I opened a case with Apple who told me to wait for the resolution to the case and phone me back if I didn't get any joy. Phoned Apple back this evening and told them what FedEx said. Apple has to do its own investigation but said that should be done in a few days and then they'll expedite shipping me another pair. Free of charge of course.

Now I'm just afraid that FedEx will screw me indirectly by lying to Apple. I guess I'll know in a few days.

Update 2: new AirPods order appeared in my orders with a zero balance :)

Really is a factor for me sticking with Apple. In over 10 years of buying from them I haven't had many issues but any I have had they've dealt with more than fairly. Not the first time they've replaced something for me free that wasn't really their problem.

I thought it was a little strange that my order had been sitting at PFS for days without a tracking number showing up in the FedEx system. Guess I forgot about Chinese New Year! FedEx says they aren't picking up any shipments in China until Wednesday.

1/15 ATT order = not a peep
1/18 Best Buy order = they auth'd the order amount today at some point ... and then credited it back just as fast. (Like, an auth and a refund. They are both still in pending. I assume they will both disappear.) Order still In Progress.
