Just got an update today. Expected delivery on Thursday.
My tracking finally updated late last night, due tomorrow. Kind of a tease saying the "shipped" on Friday, but still excited!

Given the recent online activity, we'd bet on a serious Apple Store refill in the coming days. (or not).
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.
I ordered AirPods on att yesterday at 12:30pm. They just shipped today at 12:30pm with standard shipping. FYI. Still in stock. Sorry, expensive enough, not willing to pay $15 shipping.
My ATT order from Monday has picked up a tracking number.
The one from Friday is just sitting there in limbo. ATT still hasn't cancelled it, but it isn't moving either. After I have Monday's in my hands, I'll see why they haven't cancelled it yet.
I really can't figure out if there is any rhyme or reason to this. Maybe it is all luck. But, it looks like my luck has finally turned good.
Thanks to all the helpers in this thread!
I placed an order on the 24th and it sat in limbo, I called right now and they told me to cancel. Did you just place another order it got pushed through?? LMK I had them cancel and I'm tempted to try ordering again.

I will wait for no more than two weeks because a) no one is selling this item in my country for a reasonable price, and b) everyone is charging ridiculous prices for it or refusing to sell to freight forwarders, which is where I need to deliver (my US address).I canceled my B&H order. Once they get back to me regarding a refund, I'll go buy from AT&T. This is ridiculous.

I would have preferred to buy from Amazon, but it seems Apple items are not sold there.
If I have to cancel this order I won't buy this item ever again. I don't have time to play games with Apple, either they are totally incompetent or we are seeing one of the worst cases in history of the so called scarcity principle. My patience will run out completely if I really have to cancel this order. I'll also wait for a little while since it could take 1-2 months for this item to arrive, once I ship from the freight forwarder, meaning a litte delay won't make a huge difference, considering I'll have to wait anyway.
I too ordered on Jan 20, and received notification they have shipped and will be here in Adelaide, South Australia on 3rd March!update: airpods ordered on 1/20 shipped on 2/27 (best buy)
I was thinking about ordering these from apple and waiting 6 weeks but decided to come on here and see if anything was going on first. Saw that At&T has some so placed and order this morning, it says shipping between march 1-3. Status was in process and recently changed to preparing to ship. So we will see if these ship out within the next day or so.
We will see if it actually ships.Lucky. I ordered too and though it said initially in progress shipping march 1-3 it now says pending and that it is back ordered
Ordered from BestBuy on 1/21 and they moved to preparing today with a arrival date pushed up to March 5.
