Usually 12 - 24hrs more or less :)

But I don't understand how they prepared yours for shipping when you are having shipping date Feb29 :confused:

Hope this is true.

Maybe a part of the answer : Time to ship is down to "7-10 business days"

Today is Feb 14, but Apple just wrote me that they had shipped the Airbook on Feb 15. So, they're shipping from the FUTURE now. Or from China.

Anyway, for the statistics:

snej (GER): 1.6/80; Order: Feb 12 - Shipped on Feb 15 - Mar 4/10 - del: Feb 22

Boah, I can't believe that you are getting your MBA that fast.
That would be two days after I'm supposed to get mine and I ordered about three weeks before you.

I'm totally disappointed with apple right now.

Everybody who only ordered the MBA got it delivered by TNT as fast as possible.

Everybody who made the mistake to give Apple more money by ordering something else with the MBA got the super lame flextronic service and that means slow transport and at least 7-10 days delay.

You would have thought that Apple might have a faster service especially for people who order more!

Anyway; though I'm disappointed I'm happy for you, 'cause getting your MBA that fast is nice.

Cheers
goshya :)

Yeah, a few years ago I tracked an Apple Mouse from Holland and an iBook G4 from Taiwan traveling across Europe for about a week to meet and merge at some Kuehne&Nagel place. Since then, I order the computer in one order. And put the peripherals in a seperate one. They should've warned you.

I've always wondered just what do the packages do there for a week? I mean, do they get acquinted so that they know each other well enough to travel together or what? :D

I also got a Carrier Tracking Number now...

The Assigned Carrier is :"NL DISTRIBUTION CENTER"

What does that mean ? Any ideas ?

Yeah, some changes for me. Got 'Kuehne & Nagel' as assigned carrier now, and a RTLMx number as well. But I can't track anything, and the dates and information available are contradictory (e.g. est. del. date is Feb 14th)...! :(

That's brilliant news. My order still showing Northampton but then it has to come all the way down to Cornwall. Keeping my fingers crossed I get mine today. So you are working from home or taking today off to play:D

Got it at 8:30! absolutely stunned by how thin it is, jaw dropping, you really can't believe it until you see it for yourself.

Unfortunately it was also about minus 10 degrees (its obviously been in cold storage overnight!), so i've left it at home to defrost and come into work, looking forward to getting back to fire it up later.

I'm in the exact same situation. My status is 'out for delivery', but there's no tracking to be done anywhere. Nothing on the K&N site works, nor do any of the apple tracking sites. And, est. delivery date is yesterday. :confused:

Also, I ordered on Jan. 17, I'm a bit disappointed with how long this is taking.

Looking at other forums about Apple's way of delivering stuff in the past, I think we might see 'assigned carrier' switching to UPS or TNT today or tomorrow, with working tracking information, too ...

Fingers crossed!

To add to the fun, I can't reach the apple store on my mobile or skype, I don't have a landline and the store doesn't have an email contact point. Hooray... :(
