Late

Did anyone here NOT order on the 15th?

I waited till Jan. 21st to order, and it still says it won't ship until Feb. 12th. Seems like a long time (more than 3 weeks after the order). I did get a custom configuration (1.6 w/ SSD), but I wouldn't think that would slow things down too much.

I'm pretty patient, but I am curious if anyone else who ordered "late" has had their MBA shipped.

My Giants won!!! Now if my MACBOOK Air is delivered tomorrow I will have had a hell of a 24 hours. (By the way my MacBook Air left Boston Fedex earlier) LOL

Mine is sitting in boston for the night, I was kinda hoping the pats would win so the workers would be a little more gentle with my Air. Hope apple packed it well.

Not only that you do have an ONTARIO line in there on 2/1 at 9pm.

Something is off in your stuff, maybe the individual paperwork and machine with a substitute clearance document are not hooked up to each other yet or something.

My 1.8/SSD left Memphis today at 3:27 PM ("Departed FedEx location"), but no sign of it since then. I hope that means it's sitting in a container here in Charlotte waiting to be unloaded early Monday morning...

I'm in the exact same status as you. I weather doesn't look that bad in Shanghai at the moment. Very frustrating... Currently, it's 10:17AM Monday morning in China and hopefully we will see some movement soon.

I see we are sharing flight accommodations. It is nearly 24 hours since I last posted and still have no updated information available on any tracking service. The press has not reported any aviation incidents. There is a possibility that the power outages in Shanghai might have affected the airport and surrounding areas as power might be directed to residential areas that have been without power over a week. Another eight to ten hours should show an update on the tracking page. :confused:

Yeah i know, its so weird. Maybe tommorow morning i'll have a surprise on fedex.com saying its on a delivery truck in Ottawa, CAN. :D (I WISH!)

At first I thought that apple had given some orders for the macs to be all received the same day by their respective owners. But now that I joined theses forums and noticed about everyone's tracking status (and mine... so stupid!), I think thats not what's gonna happen.

At this minute it hasn't shipped, but it is "prepared for shipment"
I ordered 1/21 at 12:35 pst

Mine's enroute from Indy to Chicago (where I live). What's weird is that it says it left the Indy Sort Facility at 1:03 (that's 12:03 Chicago time), which is almost 12 hours ago. No updates since then, just says "Left FedEx Sort Facility". I'm assuming the MBA got scanned out of the sort facility and into a truck, but the truck is staying in Indy for the night. At this point, it's doubtful I'll get it tomorrow, but you never know!

Maybe its not in Indy anymore. I think there's a lack of tracking updates. I remember when I ordered my iPod Nano (the week it came out, 1st (and shi*ty) version). I had something like, left apple, picked up by carrier, left california, then i got Toronto, then its was home. What happenned between california and Toronto (canada) ? lol!

I say wait for tommorow morning (open business day), maybe there will be a lot of tracking updates that will "pop-up". :cool:

Mine says the exact same thing. I think there is one more sorting stop but who knows. My Super Drive came out of California and is sitting at a Chicago Sorting Facility.:confused:

While mine did have a mysterious delay (I'm assuming customs inspection), it has since both arrived, and then departed from Memphis, TN - so I expect to have it Tuesday sometime.

The SuperDrive and RJ45 adapter are already here.

Initial forecast was the Feb 6th ship, Feb 12th landing. I'm ok with a Feb 5 landing date.

Originally I had feb 6, delivered feb 18th.
Now i have Jan 30, delivered feb 04... tomorrow. I live in Canada and tracking status says its still in US. (fedex.com = indy, simpletracking = hapeville (and making detours...))

Anyway... going to bed, maybe tomorrow i'll have a surprise :eek:
