a better place
This means: MBA Ordered Jan 15 the hour the store came up after the key note. Prepared for shipment last Saturday. Since then sitting more then four days at the airport for being first shipped to the Netherlands instead of the my destination address, and nothing can be changed anymore.

If you had cancelled your ethernet adapter.. your MBA would STILL have gone to the Netherlands. THEY ALL go to the Netherlands and do not fly direct to your country from China.

So chances are nothing would have changed.


FWIW just getting to Arnhem does not guarantee your item wont be sitting around for a few days doing nothing. Mines still in Arnhem and has not progressed unlike others.

Are you really sure that all our orders are going over the Netherlands? All right I can see that you guys with Fast Ship (EMEA) orders have tracking entries which shows Arnhem too. :eek: This might be a change in Apples practice, see:

http://adrianspender.com/blog/2007/01/24/the-ins-and-outs-of-apple-shipment-and-order-tracking/

(...)You’ll know if this is happening as the shipping method on your order status page will be “Fast Ship (EMEA)” This means that a courier (TNT or UPS in the UK at least) will handle the delivery from factory to your door. (...)

(...)Alternatively, if you’ve ordered more than one item, then congratulations, you’ve now entered the world of the fabled distribution centre. In Europe, this is the TNT European Distribution Centre (EDC) located in The Netherlands. No doubt it is surrounded by lovely windmills and tulip fields. It is here that all your items meet up and get packaged together (or merge in transit if you like) for a single delivery to your door. Factory sourced items are shipped here by a company called Kuehne + Nagel. Going through the EDC tends to add time to your order delivery, so think twice before you add that extra piece of software to your hardware order!(...)

Thanks MacRumorUser, now I know at least that I am a bit more than I thought in kind of the same boat as all others are. :eek:

Patience is not my strength..

Is there any chance of getting a 'Shipped' notice today at all before the Chinese new year??? I got prepared for shipment yesterday!

you're running out of time though, as China is several hours ahead of us, so they'll be hitting the 7th pretty soon. and if they are anything like the UK on new years eve, they'll have pissed off by now.

Hi! I'm happy for those of you who already have received their MBA :)

Feel free to post pics and your first impressions. But please don't tell us that the MBA is slower than the MBP (that's supposed to be this way) as it happens in some other threads :p

If I would have cancelled and separately ordered the silly adaptor, I might have the MBA already in my hands, or receive it before this weekend.
It will be my first mac, but what they are doing here is not really powerful... :mad:

Ahh, the legendary "my first mac" -effect. Don't worry, it seems to only belong to the whole "first mac" -process to get a machine just announced and delivered slooowlyyyy. Happened to me twice, my iMac took ages to arrive (and then it was DOA in four hours so...) and my first Mac laptop was the (then just announced) Macbook and I ordered it with wireless keyboard. They took "ages" to merge in NL, total being about two-three weeks from ordering.

Relax, you'll get yours in time. And remember: no extra stuff next time around :) After all it's just a computer.
Easy for me to say, didn't order from Apple Store so I don't have any tracking to stress about...

Well, my Superdrive has now shipped, but the MBA is still on "Prepared for shipment".

But that shouldn't matter, because I'm going on vacation to Egypt on Sunday and will be returning the Sunday after. Some time in between my MBA and Superdrive will arrive, while I'll be lying in the sun and be thinking about returning a few days earlier;)

Shipped 2 Feb

Arrives at 9.00am this morning.

Installed OSX over network, all seems fine. Solid machine, trackpad button feels soft and a bit wobbly but guessing its due to its size

Please note that all events might not appear chronologically or instantly to the tracking website. Sometimes the middle phases just pop up later on and in wrong order.

In addition it might have something to do with the problems it encountered previously. Don't worry, at least it's alive :)

merge in transit NL and flextronics

Hello,

My MBA was shipped the 4th of Feb via flextronic logistics (according to the order track site). Any one know how to track these packages? The Apple page doesn't say anything where the package is. The shipping method is Merge in transit (NL) and it's on it's way here to madrid.

Anyone have the same?

It's here at long last.

What can I say, although I knew it was the same footprint as the MacBook I guess I always imagined it bigger. It's just so small, so thin and so light. Being able to comfortably pick it up with one hand is incredible.

Just reinstalling Leopard on it now without all the guff.

Hope everyone else gets theres soon. It's worth the wait.

my superdrive has now arrived - it was ordered at the same time as the macbook air but since they changed my shipping to fast ship it was shipped separately. apple never gave me a tracking number that i knew how to use, but the looking up the tracking number that was on the UPS box (which was different from apple's tracking number) it was shipped from just outside birmingham, uk, and came the day after they shipped it (they shipped it yesterday). my macbook air was listed it's estimate ship day as yesterday too but it's still not even prepared for shipment. as i added an apple remote, though, it counts as a custom order :(

@ paul/

That might be not so bad for here ist my current tracking result:

Date Time Location Status
06 Feb 2008 17:28 Shanghai Shipped From Originating Depot
06 Feb 2008 16:37 Shanghai Potential Connection Delay
05 Feb 2008 14:00 Pudong International Airport Truck Involved In Accident Or Delayed In A Traffic Jam
04 Feb 2008 22:07 Shanghai Shipped From Originating Depot
04 Feb 2008 22:00 Shanghai Consignment Received At Transit Point
04 Feb 2008 11:45 Shanghai Consignment Picked Up

BUT: I just received a call from TNT telling me my order will arrive in time and as planned on friday :) I asked them about the current status and they said the order has left Pudong Airport today at 18:41 local time.

I checked the Amsterdam Airport website for today´s freight arrivals from Shanghai an found one landing at about 18:41 local time. So my MacBook Air must be on this flight and I think there is a good chance that yours is on board, too :)

Where did you find that flight? I could not find any cargo flights on their website, only passenger. A link would be great.

Thanks a lot for finding out, let's hope mine is on it, too.
