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..

Just to give a little hope to those that ordered Edu. I ordered my 1.6/HDD 2 days after the keynote through the Edu online and received it last Monday. It is a very awesome machine. Hang in there it will be to you quicker than you think!!!

So mine says prepared for shipment now, how ever it does say that it missed the cut off, so does that mean its still in China or on a plane the anchorage?


I have overnight shipping if that matters.

Glad they are still shipping remember there is no Overnight Shipping. the person above me his will sit at the fed ex station in china for 24 hours before moving

 

[dyerucf]

What do you mean? It has OVERNIGHT SHIPPING, and it has changed to SHIPPED STATUS. so doesn't that mean it is on its way?

 

[diabolic]

It won't get to you overnight from Shanghai.

"Left Origin" means it has been picked up and is on the way to the plane. "In Transit" will mean it is on its way. Once it hits Anchorage, you should get it in a day or so.

 

[dyerucf]

sucks

Yea, sucks.... I just hope it goes out tomorrow. I would love to have it wed rather then get it on valentines day and not even be able to play with it because its valentines day!!!

 

[Cybergypsy]

Cybergypsy

What are the icons at the top of your screen?

 

[dahcheet]

Mine did the same thing. Probably something with Customs out of China. What really sucks is that a good part of China is shutdown because of the Lunar New Year Festival going on right now (my company has a couple plants in China and they're all shut down) so it might even be delayed longer....

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

1.8/80 ordered 28 Jan => Prepared for Shipment

Hi,

Finally, after days and days and days of waiting (and reading posts on this great thread - Thanks Cybergypsy !), mine finally went "Prepared for Shipment" ... One week in advance

BTO Config: 1.8/80
Order Date: 28 Jan
Initial Ships By: 19 Feb

Very happy. And even more anxious to get it now.

Could somebody please remind me of what I should expect the next steps to be (with approx timing) ? I have the normal shipping (not overnight).

Thanks...

 

[dyerucf]

Local Times

Are the times on FedEx's site local to that facility or local to something else like FedEx HQ in Memphis or something?

 

[srt4cane]

For those of you who ordered late...I ordered my CTO 1.8/80GB on February 3 and it shipped yesterday Feb 11. It stayed on "Prepared for shipment" for less than a day. Estimated delivery day is Feb 15. BTW it was also an EDU order, so no I don't think they put you at the back of the line. I think they just have a certain day each week where they send out mass shipments and I barely made the cutoff. I know I've read that ALOT of other people have a Feb. 12 ship day.

This is just for those of you, like me, who have been ripping through this thread for the past 2 weeks trying to figure out an average of how long it takes to ship.

 

[Cybergypsy]

Also use this number if you want to find out about your package, these people know everything, special Fed ex 18004554588 and the answer on the first ring

 

[dyerucf]

flight details

The flight that runs from Shanghai to Alaska and from Alaska to Indianapolis is FX24. It takes 8 hours to get from Shanghai to Alaska and 5 hours from Alaska to Indianapolis. Just some details those of us truly TRACKING our packages.

you can track on flightstats.com or flightaware.com

 

[osxmiggsosx]

Mine has a Ship date of Feb 6th, Arrives Feb 12th....

Bought the minute the Apple store came up


Feel free to post shipping, tracking and photos on this thread.

With MacBook air coming with no cdrom drive do think this will be the wave of the future with so many mp3 players out there i think it could be. I see it becoming more online even software downloads and os upgrades. This would be a good thing so people will not get in trouble using limewire other p2p sharing unless you break the codes of DMR. i can only hope if time capsule 2 comes out it has a cdrom drive in it for use with MacBook air. as of now i am very happy with my BlackMacBook who birthday is coming in days from now can anyone say upgrade haha its not maxed out on ramm yet!
