They tried to run a "trace route" and they cannot locate it. It's now being "researched" by the lost and found dept. I think it's lost and found its way into someone's trunk.

I called Apple and they were very supportive and helpful. We'll see how much so if it is confirmed "lost" by FedEx.

Apple is definitely very good about handling lost/mis-delivered packages, both for purchases and for repairs. My iPhone that was sent back from the repair depot somehow ended up in Louisiana, and after maybe two calls with Apple (one to them, one back from them) they had a brand new iPhone on my way - they make sure they had all the necessary information, so that they could be the ones to entirely handle the situation, and the new iPhone was shipped out that same day.

Just make sure to stay on them and they should get you squared away - of course the problem in this situation is that the Air is in short supply. If this was say, for a normal MacBook, there'd be a new one on the way to you immediately. The air... not so much. =(

I ordered a bunch of things (along with a MBA, of course!) on the 17th January, and upon checking Apple.com today the status of my order has finally changed to "Prepared for Shipment". Everything, that is, except Applecare...Hmm.

Question the First:
If the "ships by" date for the whole bundle is 15th Feb, will this likely be moved forward now that most stuff is "prepared for shipment"?

Question the Second:
Has anyone else here had their Applecare lag behind other items in their MBA delivery?

Hope someone knows.

My MBA was prepared to ship for 3 days, and shipped for 2 more days.

Don't know about Applecare. I do know that none on the online Mac shops even have it listed.

Here's a few pics of mine. I'll have more up soon. 1.6/HDD.

Drove from Charleston to Charlotte last night just to pick it up, and it was all worth it..

Some people have booze. Some people have crack. I have Apple.

Alright, I freaked out about the Applecare slowing down the rest of my MBA order, but it turns out that the Apple.com website just takes time to get things through. So now it's all together, SHIPPED (!) and ready for delivery by Monday. Schweet, mate!

(Not that many on this thread would care too much) :)

Will post pics eventually.

Hmm I'm in Australia as well - mine shipped on the 2nd of Feb and was meant to arrive by the 7th - unfortunately it's been 'lost' by TNT and Apple tells me that I won't be able to get one for 4-6 weeks! What a joke.

Darn, now I'm starting to worry that mine might get mysteriously lost too (I'm in Australia and know from experience that TNT isn't 100% reliable as a courier... I work with them in the fashion industry every day). It's due for delivery on Monday 11th, so cross your fingers everyone!

1/15 3pm order through Edu store MBA just shipped

For those still keeping track, my 1.6/HDD MBA ordered about 4 hours after the keynote, went prepared for shipping on Feb 5 and then changed to "ships Feb 29/arrives March 6", just got delivered to FedEx today on Feb 9 to leave on Feb. 10. It will be returned when it arrives because I picked one up at the Apple store on Feb 7. Don't know what it tells you about later orders except that Edu shipments have a very low priority.

Because my superdrive and ethernet cable are still on a truck crossing the Southwest US, used remote disk and wireless migration to set up the machine. It took about 3.5 hours and I gave up on the clean install because I could never get the MBA to boot from the remote install disk. I'm sure that I could have eventually gotten it to work but my old 12' MBP had only a 40 GB drive that was not full (29 GB) so I decided to just get the move over with. May redo it once the ethernet and superdrive arrive.

The machine is beautiful.

Prepared for Shipment!!!!!!

Well I ordered, on the 23rd of January @ 11pm EST through the edu store. I have been waiting and dreading the rumors that EDU orders are low priority and checking ten times a day to see if order status has been updated.


Just got home and checked it and BANG, PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT. Hope this means I will get it before valentines days so I can actually play with it.
