Upstate NY . Was FL.
it would have for some folks, I guess. but B&H should have been more transparent with an ETA
I was going to pull the trigger on B&Hs cousin Adorama to save myself the tax and some change for a MacBook. I think I might spend a little bit more and use Amazon or Costco for peace of mind. Less hassle for returns also.

mine is MBP 16/512 SG ordered through Adorama. ordered 12/7, delivered 1/19.

it was also frustrating at first given you see folks here getting their deliveries first despite ordering at a later date. I was given a 4-5 weeks lead time when I ordered, and though it was delayed for a few days, i'm fine with the wait given with the $100 off.

i'm concerned though to those who ordered earlier like during BF or CyberMonday but still don't have proper ETA until now.

My base M1 Air ordered on Black Friday from B&H was shipped via FedEx 2-Day Air on Monday and arrived Jan. 20.

Waited that long and didn't cancel because I pre-paid using expiring Visa rewards points that cut the cost of my purchase in half. Overall, still very pleased.

Hope everyone will soon see some movement on their orders.

I would stick with Apple or BestBuy. I am not a Costco member so, can't comment on that aspect. Amazon does not have a good return policy on computers.

Costco's return policy on computers ( most electronics really ) is 90 days from date of purchase. Used to be 'anytime', but folks abused it so ... oh well!

I finally got an update on my two orders (both from 11/30). My gold base MBA should ship in the second week of Feb and my space gray base MBA still has no ETA...

Macbook Air 16/1 ordered on Cyber Monday just went from 'Backordered' to 'Order in Progress' and my credit card was just charged.
Have to hand it to you for your patience; thats a long time to wait. Congrats on the upcoming MacBook Air.

Still waiting for M1 Air on backorder. Order placed on 11/30/20. If nothing is done soon I’ll cancel and order from Costco or Amazon.

Today I ended up canceling my space grey MBA that was ordered on cyber Monday because I found one on sale at ABT.com for $929 (for the gold) that would ship immediately. After I ordered they raised the price back up to $999. My gold MBA tbat I ordered for my wife on Cyber Monday should ship next week, I hope.

Canceled my MBA M1 today from B&H. Ordered 11/30/20. I have a choice of now ordering it from Costco or Amazon. I can pay it off on Amazon over 12 months. Any input on who would be better to buy from would be appreciated.
