Anyone in NA got their BTO yet?

I ordered a maxed out 13" shortly after announcement.
On the 22nd it said it left the FedEx origin facility, but only a few hours ago on the 24th was it updated again, simply saying In Transit - but still indicating the package location as Shanghai. So it didn't leave Shanghai on the 22nd after all?
Anyone have theirs or expect to get it Monday? Any chances I will see it Monday?

If you're in the SF Bay area, possibly. Otherwise as soon as it gets to the US it halts until the monday evening flight to Memphis for distribution to you Tuesday.

Our BTO Air's are still in China!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got a tracking update telling me that although it was shipped three days ago, my MBA is only now "in transit" from Shanghai.

Since I placed my order within 60 seconds after the store coming online, chances are many of you guys are in the same or worse situation. Oh well, I guess Fedex took their long weekend off...

Remember there's a real possibility they're just mass producing them and sending in batches. If it leave Shanghai on a Monday at noon, it gets to the US Monday at 8 am... before it even left :) Can't forget about the dateline!

Woah, you're the first 3-5 I've seen. Did you order something extra with it? The only thing I've seen is 1-3... since mine said 1-3 and it's now been 4-5, maybe they're just back to realistic expectation setting now?

I got it with the 256GB/2.13GHz/4GB. That may be why. I guess some really are "BTO"?

Thanks, I was involved in the thread on about page 3, couldn't bring myself to trawl the other 7 pages. :D

I reckon everyone that ordered on launch day will see them actually ship out of China within the next 24hrs:)

Seems most who have ordered on launch day have shipped. Now we're to about thursday from what I've read. I ordered thursday night, so hopefully tomorrow it'll ship. Says delivers Oct 25-29, so it'd have to ship by Tuesday.

I am not aware of any UK orders from launch day that have shipped yet (mine certainly hasn't, from about 20 mins after store went live). I have a delivery date of 28-29 oct

First Mac ever!

The only ones it seems that have shipped are the non-BTO ones.

This is my first MAC!!! So excited to enter this new world. I ordered the11.6 with 1.6GHz/4GB/128GB on Wednesday night with the expedited shipping and it has not yet shipped :(

Has anyone found cool sleeves for the 11.6 yet? Way tooo excited :D

I'm just curious. Since the tracking shows that it is the 25th when really it's still the 24th in the US, should we expect our packages a day earlier than the expected fedex ETA?
