Did you custom order yours? I added the iworks to my 1.6ghz 80gb - never thought it was customizing it and would take longer to get the MBA. Anyways, the Apple Customer service rep said that custom orders come from overseas so 2-3 days is the fastest shipping option available. I assume everyone getting overnight shipping has standard orders????????????

i have two on order, one for my dad in california that is complete factory (1.6) and that was upgraded to 2-3day as well, not overnight and she said it was also coming from china.

as for mine, it was custom ordered with 1.8ghz 80gb, and i live in nyc. upgraded to 2-3 day.

DANG IT. I WANT IT ALREADY. haha

I just got off the phone will Apple. The first support rep stated that she couldn't change my 2-3 day shipping to overnight. The second rep gladly told me that she changed it. To confirm, I called a third rep who said I was credited $18 for the 2-3 day shipping but no change had been made because the product is shipping from China to the U.S.

Question - in my order details, my Macbook Air says that is a CTO Custom Configuration. I ordered the 1.8ghz, 64gb SSD, with a superdrive, ethernet adapter, and Applecare, nothing else. None of the reps could explain why my order was CTO. My best guess is because I ordered it through Education, but do any of you guys have any ideas? Also, a reason for not being able to get the Overnight shipping may be because mine is CTO and coming from China?

The CTO reflects the addition of the superdrive, ethernet adapter and Applecare. Anything that is not strictly the computer turns the order into a CTO.

I've got the same problem. By adding the remote and the ethernet adapter, it turned my order into a CTO. Oh well... :eek:

Just called Apple again, Mine 1.6/80 will be shipped from China....and overnighted, they said that changing the shipping will not delay your order at all ......she did not say much more then that...... I was hoping they were in the states :(

I believe all apples are shipped from shanghai where they're made...


they do get here quick though once they get to alaska they are usually at your door within a matter of hours:):apple:

They were quoting a report by Boy Genius Report, whom MacRumors says is =/- reliable.

Rumors about hot products like this are very attractive to cite as it insures a lot of ad impressions, and hence $$$. Editors of these blogs couldn't care less if it is true or not.

That would be awesome if that happened this time around. Since I live in the Nashville area, that would be a really quick delivery. :D

Heres proof :) Nov 1 was the release date they shipped the same day

I hope they get shipped today around 4-6pm.

If they dont, they might be shipped on wednesday... and if its not wednesday... it will be on the delivery dates that were given to us.

Except that it's Fedex delivering it, so it would sit in the warehouse for the requisite time period to make sure that you don't, you know, get anything you didn't pay for.

It would be a total pisser if we had to wait all the way until next week. I don't see how you can do work in the computer lab. I sold my computer, too, but I'm not giving it up until I get my MBA and Time Capsule.

So now it really appears as though the pre-order people are screwed... can't wait to go pick mine up at the 5th Ave store after work tomorrow while the rest of you who gave me crap about cancelling are hitting refresh on either a FedEx site (if you're lucky) or the Apple Store (if you're not).
