My MBA order has been in Prepared for Shipment for nearly 24 hours. How long does it take to move on?
Mine took about 24 hours. Then it just changed to "in Transit" where it has been since this morning. The only difference is I got a delivery date now.
Good luck
usually around a day
u have to rember thought thats a day in China time..
it's about 325am right now there so prob wait another 5-6 hours for it to go ship status
It can change at any time.
I was under the impression that the only time that my order would change is during working hours in China. This morning sometime between 8-9 am EST, my MBA (1.8/SSD/no iWork or other "stuff") went to "Prepared to ship". I ordered it at 5:42 PST on the 15th.
Does anyone know if they are flying things out on Saturday?
Hopefully, this will get to Alaska sometime this weekend.

In regards to bags, I've been a big fan of SpireUSA.
I looked at many manufactures, but decided to stick with Spire. I purchased the Spire 13" Dart. It weighs about a pound and looks like it'll fit the bill. It should be here on the same day as my MBA. I couldn't have planned it any better.
They have a cool 360 view that really shows how thin this bag is and also has compartments for some docs, adapters, etc. Check it out.

PS, no I don't work for them. I'm just pretty jazzed about not having to lug 10lbs worth of stuff everyday.
looks like a great bag, I bought the MacBook Air bag Waterfield
prepared for shipment status change just means it's been confirmed with your credit card i think
My Canadian MacBook Air experience
Hi everyone!
I've read all 94 pages of this thread to help pass the time before my MacBook Air makes its way into my frozen Canadian hands (it's been -45 here in Winnipeg for the past few days so I am especially bored being trapped inside). It's been really fun reading about everyones pre-order experiences and I thought I would share mine with you: I ordered my MacBook Air (1.6/80) about 12 minutes after the store went online. I chose the fastest shipping method which was 2-3 day (BLAH) but that's better than the 14-day or whatever the other one was.

Here's why: Apparently FedEx in Winnipeg operates on a skeleton crew during the weekends (no deliveries done), so I asked if I could come by the office and pick up the MacBook myself. Nope. Apparently the delivery done on Friday night isn't even sorted until Monday morning!!!! So now I will have to spend the whole weekend twiddling my thumbs KNOWING that my brand new MBA is sitting in a warehouse at the airport!!!
Okay, my sob story is over.

I've been calling the regular Fedex customer service line and they say they can't upgrade me to Saturday shipping - that it has to come from Apple. I remember some mention of a special Apple/Fedex department. Can someone post that number? Thanks!
Call and ask to request if it can be delivered sat.

Hey someone knocked our rating to 4 it was 5 stars......
First impressions:
1) The machine is definitely quick (base model). I've never experienced a significant lag, or anything bouncing on the dock more than twice.
3) As everyone else has mentioned the screen is beautiful!
2) My AT&T USB Air card works perfectly. Sits in the USB slot when the MBA is on a desk without a problem.
3) Quality and build is impeccable.
Other than that -- nothing. No complaints, no gripes. I'm in love.
Anyone have any questions?
Would echo these statements, keyboard action is also lovely (although this may be no different from other Macs, I've been using Thinkpads for far too long...) mine was waiting at the office today but it's crazy around here so I don't have time to add much and the photos are poor quality I'm afraid. Don't think Apple will be using "it's thinner than the Journal of Immunology!" as part of the sales pitch...
oh, one other thing - based just on the music at start up, don't think the mono speaker is going to bug me, sounded fine (not that I'm likely to use it that much)

'Tis 12:54PM on Friday, 1 Feb here in Arizona. FedEx will arrive in a couple of hours with the MBA ethernet dongle...really useful at this moment. Apple status order page reports that my MBA has shifted to "Prepared for Shipment". I ordered the MBA 1.8 SSD with iWork pre-installed at 10:40AM PST on 15 Jan. I would think it will be here before next weekend as it will probably catch a Saturday flight to Alaska. Original ship date was 6 Feb to arrive 11 Feb.
Wednesday, I modified my order to include a MBA Superdrive that should ship by 22 Feb to arrive by 26 Feb.
Those that "have received their new system", enjoy! The rest await their turn with great hopes of "sooner" than "later".

ah wow that sucks
i'm a fellow Canadian! hehe Vancouver thought
but thanks for the info on the post
i know now why it takes 1 extra day to get to us in Canada
cause it ships to MEMPHIS, TN first then back to us
kinda lame but oh well
hope you get yours soon
my estimated delivery is tuesday from apple but wed from fedex site
but i'm hoping for a monday delivery if fedex works on weekends lol
FedEx rocks! My Superdrive and ethernet USB adapter for my MacBook Air both just showed up.
In a fricken ice storm, 130 miles round trip on ice and this FedEx guy shows up as if it's a summer afternoon. I think many local roads are closed in about 21 counties right now. There's half an inch of ice on everything. We're not long 'til some power outages if a promised temperature rise does not occur soon.
The FedEx driver said the company gives them strap-on boot covers with cleats for when the ice gets "really bad." Yeh, and how about some strap-on bucks in the paycheck? Probably not. Well anyway FedEx sure rocks today, I haven't even gone out for the newspaper. Bravo FedEx!
All that's missing now is the book itself. I'm ready to bake something delicious next Wednesday to make sure my little airhead machine feels welcome when it arrives. That "something in the air" will be baked rice with cinnamon, vanilla and apples!
