I canceled the Ethernet and it changed the delivery from Feb21 to Feb20

I know that the custom delays but i mean we both got Feb 11 as shipping date and we both in Swed, so my status should change pretty soon at least..

I'm planning on buying a hardcover book of the right format, cutting a mold into the pages that the MBA fits in and lining the inside with something soft. Should make a stylish, cheap and sturdy case.

Hm, something weird happened now with my order: I ordered the 1.6/80 and the Superdrive. Up until a few minutes ago, I had shipping/delivery at Feb. 8/21 and "Merge in Transit NL".

Now the shipping method reads "Fast Ship EMEA", and I have now two seperate shipping/delivery dates:

MBA is "prepared for shipment" with shipping/delivery Feb. 8/14.
Superdrive is still "Not yet shipped" with shipping/delivery Feb. 8/13.
Does that mean they are now shipped separately?

And another strange thing is that the Superdrive, which should arrive sooner, is lagging behind in not being prepared for shipment like the MBA.

That's weird, mine changed from merge GB to fastship too! which is annoying because i just rang up yesterday to cancel the airline adaptor which was slowing the order down, but now since it looks as though accessories will ship separately (my superdrive is prepared to dispatch but the rest of my order isn't) it wouldn't have slowed down the order afterall!

Strange.... I ordered my superdrive separately and have just checked order status and it's finally changed to 'prepared for shipment'..

Do the superdrives ship from China too or locally I wonder ?
