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).

There is nothing to suggest that these are going to be in the store tomorrow.

yap...as steve said. 2 - 3 weeks...so we still got one week left!:(

Actually, I just watched the part of the keynote where Steve says this and he says "will be shipping in two weeks" and emphasizes again, "Two weeks".

For what it's worth, anyway.
 
@ illian:

no idea when the MBA will hit the German market. My Apple Premium Reseller (based in Cologne) told me last week that they expect arrival within this week (until Feb 1st) but not sure on this. The guys at Gravis told me the same story.

I'm not sure if it was a smart move to cancel my online order (Feb 5th / Feb 14th delivery) and switch to my local dealer.

But let' see... a colleague of mine is in NYC near the 5th Ave. store until Thursday.

ive ordered my 1.8 from apple and it says it will ship on the 7th feb with an expected delivery on the 19th feb :( so im guessing this it to coincide with an official UK release date?????

I'm based in the UK and ordered with the 1.8GHz option on January 17 with a ship date of February 7 and delivery February 19 so I guess we just have to wait and see......:eek:
 
Not sure why people from NYC or other high sales tax locations are ordering from the Apple site when you can get it from Amazon and not pay sales tax. Saves $150.

You can also follow a known procedure to get Amazon to put the MacBook Air in your gold box and get a 5% discount. That saves you another $90.

If Apple is true to form, they will stuff the sales channels all at once and differences in delivery dates will be measured in days...

really...kk my mistake. thx for checking ;)

Normally in a production environment you would know in this period that 2 weeks was 2 weeks. Any production related issues would have been detected and addressed (e.g. some sealant doesn't work, a part is loose).

In fact, they would have already started a production run prior to his speech and so unless they had a major glitch and had to literally tear those units open, they would have some ready.

They certainly would want to start shipping in limited quantities, if for no other reason that a lot of working capital is tied up in things like those SSDs.

So it might be more an issue of wanting to have really large volumes to go to the stores so they do not sell out quickly, but who knows.

Like fed ex better the UPS, they are idiots!

Really? I've probably received about 150 UPS packages over the last year. Only one has arrived later than expected. 20%+ arrive earlier than I paid for.

Fedex has never delivered a package early. Usually they arrive on time.

DHL packages are almost always delivered late to me. In fact, I can't think of the last time DHL got anything to me on time.
 
Exactly - as Mac becomes more and more popular with the "masses", sites like this cannot be looked at as a barometer for product-adoption.

Almost everyone I know (my wife, some friends) that will buy the MBA are not on these sites...

If you believed most of the posts here, you'd think they would hardly sell any at all.
