Mine wasn't an expedited shipment. The order showed standard shipping. Went out quickly so I don't think the expedited orders are first priority.

Just updated...ordered mine through AT&T this morning at 10:36 am and just received a notification that it has been shipped 8:56 pm (same day service) :)

Update:...out for delivery today...BOOM! (Ordered Friday, delivered Monday)
[doublepost=1488204824][/doublepost]
Yeah, same outcome as the last time AT&T had stock. This time, I think I ordered an hour after AppleWarMachine and I got the "sorry" Saturday night. I'm starting to think that they ship expedited shipping first, regardless of order date/time. Then, when they get to regular shipping orders, all of the stock is gone.

What happens if I just let the order sit there? They haven't cancelled it yet.

FYI, my order was just standard shipping, not Expedited.

Okay, assuming my last order is going to get cancelled, I ordered again.

I can't figure out how I've been so unlucky on these.

ATT says out of stock online for me...

Correction: My iOS apps show that they are out of stock, but when I jumped on my mac, they were in stock and claims that it delivers in 3-5 business days.

Just got myself a brand new sealed set on Craigslist, thought it was a dodgy ad turned out legit and saved $50. Those who haven't got 6 weeks to wait around...try your luck there.

I ordered from B&H Photo & Video and they are apparently backordered. Has anyone had the experience of a backorder from B&H?

Note: I'm not particularly worried about getting them, but if I have to sign for them I'll be screwed because I'll probably be at work!

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, figure I'd share my success story.

Ordered (expedited shipping) this morning on att.com after receiving the istock notification (around 930am CST). Just received an email from ATT that it's shipped and the tracking info is showing it should be delivered tomorrow.

Got notified by istocknow that Walmart online has AirPods now. Best Buy emailed me I can place on order for AirPods now. I have my AirPods. It just thought I would pass along this information. I was searching for AirPods for my daughter but she decided to go with Beats x at the Sacramento Apple Store yesterday.

Got notified by iStockNow that Target online, Macy's online and Walmart online all have AirPods available to order. Good luck.

Well. Walmart is selling them for $299, Macy's said that it doesn't exist on their site, and Target says unavailable to ship.

They sell out very quick. Walmart has been up and down since yesterday, could catch it.

Macy's link is here: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/apple-airpods-charging-case?ID=4450181

We keep proof of availabilities, and have positive feedback some could get them.

As for Target they're playing with us, sending false positives, being investigated.

Think O2 (UK) may be as well. Had about 10 email notifications from you this am but you can't complete checkout. Alternates between in stock and out of stock.

Pulled another fix for Target (their own system says it's available so that's really not clean on their side).

For O2 we can't check the checkout, but have seen it available on the site this morning.

Thanks.

Finally target has some, so their glitch was kind of an announcement.

edit : gone fast.

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.
Damn, it's backordered. It was too good to be true. They will ship when they have it available. I asked in the live chat and if it takes too long (I'll wait a couple of weeks) they say I can cancel and get a refund.

Koby W : Unfortunately, at this time we do not have any concrete information from Apple as to when we will have these units in stock. I wish I had more detailed information for you but at this time that is all that we know. We will continue to be in touch with the manufacturer for a status of this unit and keep you updated via email periodically. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be assured your order will be shipped to you as soon as we receive stock and we will email you the tracking information once it is shipped. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

What the hell is happening with this product, do Apple sells them or not? We are already in March and still having the same problems?

Is this done on purpose based on the scarcity principle or Apple really sucks? I read the reports on why the Airpods had a delay, but I don't think I ever saw something so unavailable as these headphones, even rare items aren't that hard to buy.

Given the recent online activity, we'd bet on a serious Apple Store refill in the coming days. (or not).
