I can still cancel my order meaning it's still no closer to shipping for me.
I am in the same boat.
Got a tip for us?

I called the Ridgedale store just because I have the need to harass Apple store employees because I'm beyond impatient and the guy said about another week or week and a half.
Which really means that they had 15 of them in stock but all the employees purchased them!!
Now that they have started shipping for some people I've become more impatient than ever!!

Don't know if anyone has noted this but today (January 29th) is exactly 6 months from the iPhone release (June 29th). Probably nothing but it would be pretty cool if it did get released today. My $0.02.
It seems another impact of the long and tense wait for the Air has been the impairment of your date calculations..
. From June 29th to January 29th there are 7 months (not 6)...
I already posted this question in another thread, but since this one is more active, I thought I'd post it here too.
Has anyone ordered their MBA from MacMall?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this in all the previous posts, but since I ordered way later that a lot of folks (ship date of Feb. 19th) I'll play the part of Captain Bringdown.
Here's what happens with any new (as in, new form factor, new line, etc. Not an update of an existing line) Apple hardware:
It reaches Alaska from China.
Then, it stays in Alaska for an additional 1 to 3+ days. Sometimes 4, occasionally 5.
This is because the hardware shipments reach the Alaska distribution center before the customs paperwork does. Only when they receive the paperwork do they check out the shipments and are able to clear the initial shipments, as well as the consecutive ones.
This has been my experience for at least five different Apple hardware orders over the past few years (I'm a rev.A whore).
Enjoy your delays! =D
*grumble*

You too, huh? Every single one of my Apple machines has been a rev. A. Every single one has had problems that required repair/replacement also.
I should note that I've also ordered a 1.8/SSD MBA too. What a sucker I am.
My brand new aluminum iMac was in Alaska for less than 24 hrs so that is simply not true for every one. Sorry you've had such bad experiences.

Yep...This stuff is melting my brain!!! Maybe when I get my MBA I will be able to use the calculator function properly!

I forgot October! Oops
i am just as anxious as the rest of you except i placed an order on the 16th and it didn't go through so i reordered it on the 18th and i have a ship date of feb 11th and delivery by the 15th. So i have also seen that many of you have called to get the upgraded shipping and i did it last night and the lady told me it was like 24 dollars extra. i said no thanks and decided to call again this morning and the guy just upgraded to 2-3 days shipping for free!!
all my shipment have never been in alaska for more the 24 hours, I had a total of 6 apples this year. one never saw alaska and shipped from tenn
Actually.... this statement is wrong.
I actually work for the company, the shipping company and they do NOT unload the planes in Alaska. Everything is cleared in the receiving hub (i.e. Memphis) when the plane is on its way. They do not even unload the plane in Alaska to my knowledge.
All the paperwork is transmitted electronically to Memphis and the clearance starts before the product actually lands in the Hub.
If there are any customs delays they will happen after the shipment is in mainland China. If you are in Canada, the package will clear in Canada after it goes through Memphis. I have also seen it where it arrives in Canada as one entire shipment that clears and then the package is split up and then sent out to the individuals adding 1 extra day onto the ship time, which would bring the transit time to 2 + 1 days... (From China to Canada).

I have and still use a Rev. A Titanium, never had a problem with it.
Ditto a G4 12".
Problems with Rev A's MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro.
Nevertheless I didn't think twice about my Rev A order for a MBA 1.8, 64GB SSD.
Where is it!
For those thinking of trying to buy one at the store. I'd suggest you not cancel your order just yet.
When I originally pre-ordered my Apple TV the stores had them for sale before I received mine -- thanks to the package being shipped signature required. I went to the store and bought one and just called FedEx and told them not to attempt redelivery. Other than being doubled charged on my CC for a week until I received my credit from my apple.com order it worked out nicely.
