I cancelled my original order and ordered a silver MacBook Air with 8cores 8 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of memory. I ordered on Jan 2nd and was given a delivery date of the 19th-26th. As of today it hasn’t moved from processing. I am wondering if anyone has a similar delivery window that has shown any movement?

I ordered Macbook Air Silver 8/16/512 Jan 3rd with estimated delivery Feb 2-9th. Still "processing" and no charge to card yet.

On Jan. 3 I ordered a MBA with 7c/256GB/16GB in Space Grey with a delivery date of Feb 3 - 10th. The delivery estimate shifted to Feb 2 - 9th about a week and a half ago, and then last Saturday the 16th my card was charged which is hopefully a good sign for shipping soon. Can't wait.

Wtf. I ordered the same thing Jan 1 with a date of 19 Jan-29 Jan. As of now no card charged or anything.

Shipping to small town south east USA

Well, I guess I’m not the only one in this boat. I’m guessing if mine is being shipped from China and hasn’t budged yet, the odds of it getting here, (USA) by the 26th are fairly slim.
 
does Apple pre-charge your credit card with a small amount to verify or something when you first make the order?
I ordered a MBA 16 gb witha delivery of 3-4 weeks but I used an international credit card and I just wanna know if it’s working or they will just tell me payment declined when it’s ready to ship and just cancel my order
 
Mac mini 16G / 1TB SSD
Ordered: Jan 7
Charged: Jan 18
Pending shipment (est Feb 12 from original email, website Feb 1-8)
 
Hey I’m sorry, did you get any authorization charges or something when you first made your order?
Apparently they can try to take £1 or something like that to validate the card before the order is confirmed.
Or so they told me.
I also believe that if there is a problem with the card or getting payment they'll contact you and give you a week to sort it out. That's what happened to someone on here who ordered in December and his card ran out at the end of December.

First Impression :: This thing is screaming fast - my Chrome tabs alone usually get my fan going and my CPU usage hardly ever cracks 10-15%! I'm stoked with my decision. My Beamer app won't load, but other than that, you'd never know there was a major overhaul!
Did you get BEAMER to work?

For those lucky enough to have had their orders ship, roughly how long did that start to show movement after your credit cards were charged?

Did your order status changed when your card was charged? I ordered last Jan. 6 with same configuration and have also the same delivery date as yours but my card haven’t been charged yet.

It’s usually a day after your card is charged in most cases however I was told by apple that they can take payment up to 15 days before your order ships.
