AirPods, Order/Shipping Thread

[Phedippidations]

I ordered mine on the Apple site on Jan 13, they were scheduled to arrive on March 6th (52 days = 7 weeks, 3 days) but I just received notice this morning that they have shipped and will arrive on February 22nd (40 days = 5 weeks, 5 days). So, my Airpods will arrive exactly 12 days ahead of schedule!

Ordered from Verizon couple weeks ago... they lost my order. Ordered from Target Wednesday and its on the Fedex truck right now! They can be found.

Hmm. I just checked my Best Buy order placed on 2/9. Changed from "backordered" to "preparing", estimated delivery 2/20. No movement on my Verizon, AT&T, Apple and BH orders yet! If I get a tracing # from BB I'm cancelling the others!

Recap: My BB order from 2/9 did deliver yesdarday (2/16). Yeah I got lucky apparently. BUT my wife decided to take those airpods. I have a backorder from B&H (2/12) that shows movement today: "In Stock - order sent to warehouse". Hopefully thats a good sign.

As long as the package is under 16" it's machineable, it has a 80% chance of making it to you undamaged and on time.

It did, too! Arrived well packed and on time--much faster than if I had ordered from Apple.

Nice! I ordered on January 14, with an estimate of March 7. Here's hoping I get a shipment notification in the next day or so!

I ended up buying a new, sealed pair off Craigslist for $180. Literally, only paid $10 more than what I would have paid at the Apple Store. (Retail+tax) So far really liking them and I'm returning the Beats X.

My BH order from 2/12 has been shipped today. Just received my UPS tracking code.

I bought a pair of Powerbeats 3, but I'm starting to think the AirPods would be better. It kills me to see all these stupid scalpers. I see listings on eBay where they have multiple boxes in the picture for sale. That crap annoys the heck out of me. However, I'm puzzled as to why the heck it's taking Apple so freakin long to supply these to stores.

they are in the stores for about 20 seconds or so.as soon as I bought them they were out again.

I really think it's mostly because of scalpers buying 10 pairs and listing them on eBay. I'd love to skip the wait, but I'm sorry...I can't stomach paying twice the price for it.

I'm only one day earlier: April 10th. Here's to us Kickstarter backers!

 

[bcollett]

So. I. Um. Found somewhere that says it has them on order for 3/13... and for only $149....

Ordered last Thursday from ATT and got shipping notification 2 days later on Saturday and will be delivered tomorrow. I cancelled my order from Apple which said 6 weeks shipping.

I ordered from BHPhotovideo (in Feb 16) and after they finished verifying my details, they are processing now the order. I asked them to sent to Shipito's warehouse in Minden, Nevada (freight forwarder). From there I'll ship to my country. They charged me US$ 159 including shipping.

 

[PaladinGuy]

So, pretty ticked with Target. They showed in stock for shipping this week this morning. I ordered, got a confirmation and guaranteed date of by next Tuesday. Now my order says backordered. So maddening that Apple is taking so long to stock these. It's really a crappy experience. Every product they come out with in the last couple years takes forever to be available.

Has this kind of thing happened to anyone else? Confirmed order and preparing to ship being changed to out of stock?

I I ordered another pair for my husband from att at lunch time today and just got a tracking number that they shipped. I ordered my pair last Thursday from
Att and are delivering tomorrow. Still shows you can put them in your cart. Over the weekend you couldn't do that. Cancelled the order from Apple which still showed a delivery of April 10.

 

[ohsnapimaninja]

newbie here...i ordered 2 sets around lunchtime today on ATT also. Just got an email that they shipped and are scheduled for delivery Wed 02/22.

 

[PowerBook-G5]

I ordered from Apple on 1/14, originally slated for 3/7.

This morning (2/21) I got a shipment notice that they'll be here on 2/28 2/27! They bumped my order up a day!

 

[PaladinGuy]

Well, I'm giving at&t a shot. We'll see. Guess you just have to try multiple venues to get these things right now.

 

[anonymous6237]

Ordered from AT&T this morning. Hoping to get the same results as people who ordered yesterday morning and they had them shipped later that day.

Same here-I'll post if I get a tracking number. Did you see an option for expedited shipping during checkout?

 

[valenrandy]

For those of you that ordered via ATT yesterday did it state an original ship date of mid March on the main product page?
I want to go ahead and place an order but need them here in the next week vs 3 weeks out.

PER ATT CHAT REP:

Jessica: right now it airpods are out stock, however you can place the order today, and the estimate ship days will be between en mar 14 - mar 21, 2017.

If the estimate is off and the shipment is actually much sooner then I will jump on that.
[doublepost=1487693208][/doublepost]Currently I can add the Airpods into my cart and check out via ATT. I'd like to get another pair lol.
