List of Members Waiting for their Macbook Air to Ship and Arrive and Photos!

[aiongiant]

10.5.1 installed. i registered but havent played (wireless is locked down here) i work for a company that bases its existence on the internet so its strict on the wifi

i wonder why they delayed it then... if it's not 10.5.2
maybe they found some hardware bug and fixed them all

 

[desenso]

Painfully, I walked out of my apartment building only to see the FedEx truck pulling up! Tracking says it's delivered... I'll be home to play with it in about 4-5 hours

 

[PieMac]

Has anyone heard about having them in stores on Friday?

How bout in stores today?! Anyone call their local Apple store to check yet?

 

[mich73]

Well, mine is still on the delivery vehicle and I have to go into DC for a few hours... should be delivered when I get back, so I'll post an unboxing video then if someone else hasn't already.

Same as me. It's been on the delivery truck since 7:45 AM. I hope my boss understands that as soon as it gets here, no work will be done for the remainder of the day.

Interesting...so the rumors of apple waiting until 10.5.2 was finished until shipping these out can't have been true then! Wonder how long it'll take to get a software update to 10.5.2 then.

And yeah, with WiFi being tight at work, you never know whether there will be updates waiting for you!

I wonder why there was a delay then, and why only so few seem to have been shipped?


Thanks for the reply!

Probably precisely because so few have been shipped?

I will try my local store in 15 minutes here in WI. I think if they showed up today, it would be after 1pm with the late Fex Ex delivery. I am thinking Friday is the date though.

Looks like I am on flight 90 too... It says it's supposed to land at 11:50 in Alaska... I have 2 days shipping so I am really hoping for a surprise tomorrow, although I doubt it will happen.

None in NC yet. Playing coy and say to keep checking.....

 

[Jimmie Geddes]

I called my Apple Store (Short Hills, NJ) and was told that they will have MacBook Airs in stock tomorrow (Friday).

 

[chaseardoin7]

that mine has been delivered to my house. to bad i don't get
home until after midnight (

 

[cliffardo2001]

Just called local Apple store in Milwaukee, they have no idea when. Sigh.

 

[JackSYi]

I am curious to know also. I got the shipping notice yesturday but apparently it hasn't reached the u.s. It says delivery on the 4th and I even had the overnight delivery.

 

[zoolaine]

one pic sorry all i can do now

wooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm in looooooooooooooooove

I called after Apple screwed up my bank account again and this time got a nice customer service rep. Took off $100 and upgraded me to overnight shipping for "being such a patient customer" ha Anyways she had no idea that any MBAs had shipped yet so I filled her in on the latest info. Afterwards my status changed from "Not Yet Shipped" to Prepared, Yippy!!!!! hopefully it will be here early next week

 

[aiongiant]

i think everyone is getting them a day before apples predicted date
so u might get it maybe friday

 

[jdcrow711]

my fedex arrival said 2/1 and it arrived 12/31

 

[mich73]

It was just delivered! Now I have to hunt down the guy that has it in our mailroom.

Fedex Tracking - How do you tell what flight?

Guys -

Where do you get the information on the tracking page about what flight(s) the packages are on???

Great news!!!
I'm not getting my hopes up but it'll def be a nice surprise if I have it tomorrow!
Did your fedex also have a later arrival date?
mine is estimated at Feb 4th at 1030AM

 

[Khurram]

my fedex arrival said 2/1 and it arrived 12/31

Thanks!
You already answered my question before I posted..
I guess the reason to why it is saying the 4th is because the weekend comes in the way and they don't delivery on the weekend...here's hoping for tomorrow!

Count me as one of those super annoyed. I ordered the stock 1.6 MBA at Jan 15, 2008 at 05:12 PM PST.

This is what FedEx says:

So I guess it just sat there for 24 hours? In the end, even though I ordered it the day of the keynote, I will have to wait until Monday to get mine. 4-5 days after people ordered it immediately after the keynote and 2-3 days after people can just walk into a damn store to pick it up. I can spit over to the 5th Ave. store from where I live but b/c I made the mistake of trusting the online store reps (and the in store reps) who told me it was quicker to order it online, I'm SOL.

Yes, I'm nagging

 

[cliffardo2001]

And you had standard? It looks like it's arriving the business day before the estimated time. My Est. is the business day after Friday, so I think I could almost be certain that mine will arrive tomorrow as opposed to Monday.

 

[Cybergypsy]

Mine shipped yesterday with standard delivery...missed the cutoff and is now in transit with estimated delivery of the 4th..I don't think i'll have it by tomorrow because I don't have overnight shipping..what do you guys think?
