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

[stlethal]

Strange. I'm in the New York area (Brooklyn) and the last thing my tracking info shows is international shipping release. Did I miss the boat to Newark?

I wouldn't give up hope yet... it took a while for the shipping info to be updated. Check with flight tracking webtool the fed ex flights from indianapolis to EWR or possibly JFK. Yours might just go straight there... both flights to EWR were delayed by 1 hour, so I think we might have gotten really lucky in Newark area...

My original date btw was for Monday as well.... 2/4 FYI

Looks like my MBA which had an estimated delivery date of the 4th will be delivered today according to FedEx!

CSR told me it was because I had overnight shipping.

My 1.8/ssd just left shanghai

 

[RJJNYC]

Mine is also out for delivery, yay! Hopefully the same applies to everyone that saw theirs leave Alaska yesterday so they'll be a wave arriving today. Also, being a newbie, apologies for leaving out the ordering info, it was around 4:15pm on 1/15 and it's the basic 1.6/80 model.

mine stops at indy I hope so but no update......

I just called Fedex and they said that mine never left Indy even though others did get on the Newark flight. When I asked why I just got a big shrug. Monday, she said. We might be in the same situation. It just seems really strange that everyone else in NYC is getting them today! Argh.

Man, I really couldn't sleep tonight at all and wasted so much time reading the 2000+ entries.. now its time to give back to everyone.. so best of luck! Especially to the ones living in central florida who want it soo badly (whatever happened to the guy in Gainesville?! lol)...

A huge snow storm came through the midwest, that is probably the delay.

 

[Cybergypsy]

Guys just called also I had here scan it for sat and pay the 12 bucks but no guarantee it will happen, mine should be going to Orlando and back up to Ocala today if not i will sleep by the front door sunday night,,,,LOL you think i am joking....

 

[rspot]

...and the superdrive is on vehicle for delivery, which wasn't supposed to get to me until Monday either. Why couldn't it have been the other way around?

 

[Cybergypsy]

OMG The apple store columbia, md sold out of macbook airs!!!!!!!!!!!

I said that days ago a friend is a manager and they will have very limited stock!!!!

 

[bitty417]

Did yours say originally 2/4th delivery????

Mine is at my local sort but not out for delivery

Both Apple email with tracking info and Fedex's site all said 2/4.

They never sold any. No VERIFIED retail sales of a single MBA, yet.... Looks like all you pre-order fans will have most of yours before those who wanted to see, touch, fondle, caress..... whatever in person will get a chance to purchase.

Bummer, sorry to hear that, guessed that that they'd all escape Indy this a.m. This is the sequence I got on the track, I'm genuinely surprised as I usually have pretty bad luck with this kind of thing (would not have been particularly surprised to have woken up this morning and fount it was heading to Iceland by mistake or something):

I wonder if it's because I'm in Brooklyn and have to wait for this evening's JFK flight. But... but... I would have gladly gotten on the subway and picked it up in Manhattan!

 

[Cybergypsy]

Its Ok, I am never that lucky, on gambling i am lucky at... I hope for tommorow and will be sitting on the doorstep sunday night ....

Please guys post pics and reviews......

I believe you - I think you were lied to. Wouldn't be the first time. Most Apple employees don't have a lot of integrity and consistently will lie for company line (or to get you off their back!)

Still no verified retail purchases yet nor any Applestore acknowledgment to having any for sale but not permitted to until ?????

On the bright side, should it get to FL you won't have a weather exception hampering a delivery, and you will get yours before stupid non-pre-ordering me.

As long as i get it before mid week i will be happy Sold my 2.2 macbook to a nice guy in the UK.....

 

[queuecipher]

Why did I preorder on the 21st?

Oh yeah, no Apple stores in the entire state of South Carolina, and only a Best Buy near by.

But why didn't I order earlier?!!

Or you could be kicking yourself for ordering the second the keynote was over and then deciding to cancel only to reorder 10 days later. I knew I'd regret that. But I am saving a little more $ this way. I'll just have to live vicariously through others getting theirs yesterday and today *sigh*

I really wouldn't count out a delivery today or tomorrow just yet. I ordered a bunch of promotional engraved ipods for Christmas and they were delivered from China in two days and they were in my hands while the fedex tracking was saying at sort facility.... Good luck.

Why cool
This is not directed at you specifically (for all I know, you may be living a couple of days drive from the nearest Apple store), but I just can't understand why people pre-order stuff, when 9 times out of 10 it shows up in the stores before they get it in the mail. Well, perhaps it's the thrill of anticipation, I dunno

There are many reasons, custom configurations, the 1 out of 9 chance and most of all because you are guaranteed one. And it doesn't cost you anything to cancel your order if it is available in the store. At the very least you can refuse the shipment and get a refund.

Most usb powered hard drives (not flash drives) do have the Y cable that plugs into 2 usb ports which the mba only has one of. I'm guessing that most usb powered hard drives will not work, but I guess we'll find out in a day or so when people start messing with them.

The Y cable is not required, it is only included in case your laptop has low powered USB ports. I leave the Y cable in the box and use a regular USB cable with mine, works fine.
