I know in Philly, the next stop is the massive Memphis Hub usually, then Philly International FedEx hub, then its driven to a much smaller depot in the suburbs of Philly. The package sure makes its rounds before landing on the doorstep!
Finally, this is the best news since I ordered this f'king 3k machine. Hopefully mine will get prepared for shipment tonight too and will ship by tomorrow.
Same here Cliff.... I'm leaving for business Saturday afternoon so if it isnt going to arrive on Friday, I might just run down to the store on Friday morning and pick one up.
So much for expedited shipping
No kidding! At least it will be here in time for a conference I have to go to next week, but I pre-ordered so I could be first, dang it!
I had a friend with me who heard my call and discussion. He thought I came off as a rich bastard (in his words) lol. I was debating SSD and HDD over the phone, still am lol.
I'm flippin excited I think I'm going to pee my pants. What's even cooler is I'll be going to BMW to get my first service check after I pick up the MBA, so literally minutes after it comes out all the people around the dealership and waiting room will see it. I'm expecting some questions lol.
Just checked credit card and both the amounts for the ethernet dongle and the 1.8 SSD MBA with iWork are pending again. I then got an e-mail saying the ethernet dongle had shipped via FedEx with a tracking number. Still no shipping data for the MBA and it was ordered at 10:40AM on 15 Jan. The FedEx number is to new to track with at this time (10:09PM Arizona)
You'll be able to see by looking at the FedEx page - it shows delivery date and time. What does it say? I bet Friday, right?
well great now I want the SSD more than evar. I am scheduled to ship the 12, if I cancel now, back of the cue. Has anybody heard are the SSD machines only going to the big stores or would kansas city have any chance of seeing one of those this Friday?
I'm gonna eat some tylenol pm so I can freak'in sleep..........

Yeah, it says "by Friday," which leaves that tiny little annoying hope that it could be delivered before.
I leave for a work thing early Friday morning and won't be home until late Saturday night. Very sad to think of my new MBA sitting all alone and unopened for two days. My wife will take it in from the stoop, put it in my office and there it will sit in its box until I return.
I'm so torn between HDD and SSD. The biggest thing I'm torn over is if 12 months from now I want to replace it for a new MBA with possibly a new feature or two and maybe even a bit more bang for the buck. I have a feeling I'd want to. I would have less of an investment in it too since it'd be the base model.
Also here in Atlanta, I have gotten that they would be getting both models. I imagine Kansas City would get SSD. I would find it kind of strange if some stores didn't atleast have a few.

Ethernet dongle is shipping from Memphis, TN the largest FedEx hub, and will be here Friday. No reference how it got to Memphis, where the swinging cats are having a ball...Guess I can plug it into another laptop or desktop to play with it.....see if it works. Who knows, the MBA might stagger out the door Friday. It is supposed to ship by the 6th and arrive the 11th of February. (10:42PM Arizona)
Around midnight, I got an email saying my CTO 1.8 GHz/80 MBA shipped. I ordered at 10:39 AM PST on 1/15. I opted for 2-3 day expedited shipping.
MacBook Air 1.8/SSD Prepared for Shipment
Looks like my MBA 1.8/SSD is being "prepared for shipment" too! I ordered around 10:41am PST with an initial ship date of Feb 6... Spending way too much time looking at this...
Any thoughts as to whether this will ship in the next day or so?... based on the lag on other orders' status changing from "prepared for shipment" to "shipped"?
Thanks

CONGRATS!!!! great news!!! I have been waiting for this!!! Cant wait for mine to ship!!! Now I have hope agian
Let us know what you think when you have it.What if I actually LIVE in Alaska?
My MBA 1.6/80 just shipped (or at least I have a tracking #). I ordered it on Jan. 16, 1:30am PST. I know they ship through Anchorage, Alaska, but I actually happen to LIVE in Anchorage, Alaska. Is there any chance I'll be able to just go to FedEX and pick it up tomorrow afternoon? Or will it have to ship out to Memphis and then back to Alaska?
