Cool cancelled the ethernet adaptor my new dates are:
Ships 22/2 arrive 5/3

I wonder if shipping with an accessory means that it is shipped to the uk then packed with accessory and then shipped on versus direct shipment without accessory

Mine has now gone from Prepared for Shipping to Shipped but no tracking number or link is given. Has anyone else got these? Or do they take a while to come online after shipping.

*happy*

MacrumorUser...you're prob the first Irish person thats gonna get the Air!!! I gotta wait bout 3 weeks.

Sweet... Poor thing wont know what's hit it when it gets to Kerry :D

I just hope they don't screw up the delivery. UPS seem to have a hell of a time locating us down here in the boreens ;)


I ordered the superdrive separate to avoid re-routing of the main computer as much as possible. Still hasn't shipped to me, and is showing date as Feb 15/22 :)

Great! Mine is still not yet shipped, but ordered on the 15th, within one hour after the keynote. Looks like I could cancel and reorder it and may get the same results... thank you apple, well done! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Looks like they have read your post and was afraid you might cancel yours :)

Okay, I orderd mine Jan16 10AM, I will cancel mine Monday night if no status change ;)

Order consolidation for Europe I believe takes place in the Netherlands. Removing accessories from an MBA order saves:) 7 days on the delivery time (see my original post on this). I reordered the accessories and these will arrive at about the same time as the improved MBA delivery date.

Thanks, the US store helped.
Turns out the same tracking number was on the UK site but without a label telling me that's what it was. Hence the confusion.

Not been recognised yet but hopefully I can track it on its jolly way soon.

I don't think you're late and if so, it won't be too bad ;) At least we know that the factory seams to work on weekends and status are beeing updated.

My status changed to "prepared for shipment" - just a few hours after I canceled the superdrive.

And the shipping method changed from "Merge In Transit NL" to "Fast Shipping (EMEA)".

So here´s my advice: Just cancel all the unneeded things from your order :)
