Fedex is saying Wednesday on the tracking page. So much for "pre-ordering."
Who knows? You might get it STILL before it becomes "officially" available in stores.

mine says wed too on fedex site
but the fedex lady on the phone told me prob expect it monday or latest tuesday
don't bother trying to pick it up
ME TOO! True Story.
Also, I, along with CyberGypsy and others, are set to get our MBA's before 10:30AM monday 2/4. I would venture to say you can't wait that long; neither can I. So, hopefully this will save many people some time.
Noting that my Macbook Air arrived at my local Waco Tx sort facility at the wee hours of the morning, I thought I would pay them a visit after my copyright law exam; after that test, I thought I could make anything happen.
Though, when I arrived, the person initially seemed excited to help brighten my day, that is until she saw who the package was coming from, Apple. At least at the Waco Fedex, they say that anytime Apple releases something new, they get a deluge of angry and impatient customers coming to FedEx to get their package. Knowing this, I thought I would try to charm her into seeking out my package (literally within 500 feet of me), buying her 1/2 dozen white roses.
The funny part was that she was seemed eager to help until she saw that the tracking number says "Package not due for delivery" next to the most recent entry, which seems to mean there is NO way you are getting your MacBook Air before monday, notwithstanding the fact that it may be sitting, moderately accessible by a friendly customer service agent.
Save yourself the miles and the cost of the flowers (or bribe for that matter). Hopefully you won't feel the urge to just go there and try, because it most likely won't work.
Last time i paid for faster shipping it came slower, true story

if your package is in memphis already, it's 99.99% guaranteed you'll have it in your possession by monday.
we should consider ourselves lucky that our air left shanghai with a break in the weather. forecast indicates it's snowing over there all weekend
edit:
but then again, i don't know if you have to clear US customs AS WELL AS Canadian customs =T

yea well still hope LOL
mine is in transit to memphis at 5am so it should be there by now
then the fedex lady said quick stop then head back up to vancouver
ah no it doesn't
you might have hit the delay with the storm thing
or maybe just the paper work
mine is already heading to memphis
but my estimated delivery date is Wed
Shipped but still waiting
Well, this is the first forum or thread I've joined in on and find this one very interesting. I ordered my MBA (standard configuration) on 1\16\08' at around 9:00 A.M. and it is sitting in Indy right now. The bad news is I'm headed out of town Monday A.M. so I won't see it until Sunday when I get back and can go to my office and pick it up. In the mean time I'll just enjoy reading the impressions from everyone else who gets there's. I have a MBP 2.33 Core 2 Duo and 24" iMac Aluminum w\2.4 and 4GB RAM and of course an iPhone. I switched over to Mac about 1-1\2 years ago and have never looked back. Have switched over many family, friends and colleagues and everyone loves them! I'll post again when I get the chance to use the MBA when I get back!

True enough as it seems that the snow is holding back shipments to the stores as well.
we'll be here until ours arrive at then which we'll be too busy evaluating our new pieces of kit
welcome aboard!
Do you guys think I'll get mine on Monday if it's sitting in Indy right now, or will it stay in Memphis on Monday and get to my doorstep on Tuesday?
btw the status in Indy is "intl shipment release..."

AirMail ?
Still waiting as well... but can't complain, ordered on the 28th !... Why not earlier ? who know...
Has any of you ordered the AirMail "enveloppe" sleeve ? Thinking about getting one but concerned that the website stills says on pre-order ?? Is it for real ?

Monday should be good for you. It should move again later today.
My Macbook Air is in Indy too. Got to stop checking every five minutes. I am hoping for Monday, but i will probably get it Tuesday.

Good news, that's the one I'm waiting for! Macconection has
it for $50 less and no taxes for CA...
i think ordering from 3rd party stores is a good idea if you want it "soon"
casue i think apple will prob put a more priority to preorders and thier own apple stores before stocking up 3rd party stores
i ordered my mbp before at macmall and i got it like 3 weeks after everyone got it..
however it was cheaper and came with some free stuff
so if you can "wait" then it's a good plan to order 3rd party you get free stuff and discounts
