13" i7/8/128. Shipping UPS and says it will be here tomorrow by 1030 am. Ordered couple hours after keynote
For anyone who ordered a BTO 13" after 10PM Eastern on Monday evening, have you received a shipping/preparing-to-ship notification yet? I know that some people who ordered within a few hours of the keynote have already received notices. I'm wondering if Apple has gotten to the Monday evening orders yet..
Ordered 10pm GMT time so about 2 hours after the keynote and order status changed about an hour ago to preparing to dispatch, still got a 18th-20th estimated delivery date though. First Macbook, really looking forwarded to it arriving, 11" with 8GB RAM upgrade, everything else as is.
Typing this on my brand new base 11" Haswell MacBook Air. God, I'm already in love with this thing. I'm a college student, so I'm going to be bringing this thing with me everywhere I go. Only went with the base since I already have a maxed-out 27" iMac to do the heavy lifting. I love my setup now with a 27" iMac + 11" MBA. It's perfect for me!
I ordered a 13"/i7/8GB/128GB Air about 1/2 an hour after the Apple Store came back online last Monday after the keynote. It shipped last night and although Apple says the delivery estimate is June 18th to June 20th, UPS says delivery on June 17th by 10:30am (in San Francisco East Bay, California).
Exactly the same for me. I ordered as soon as the store came back online (13"/i7/8GB/512GB). Shipped last night (just touched down in Anchorage) and although Apple says delivery on 06/18, UPS says 06/17. I'm in L.A. According to UPS alert it's going via Louisville.
Ordered mine 30 minutes after the keynote. 13/i5/8/128
It will my first Mac. Switching from Windows and needed something solid for grad school.
I had the standard shipping and it says it will be here in the morning before 10:30. What a change that is from the Tuesday prediction it had when I woke up this morning. It is also on the Anchorage route. Its coming to Michigan by the way.

Mine was set to deliver on Monday and now FedEx changed the delivery date to Tuesday.
Same here.

me three.
Ordered an 11"/8/256 a few hours after the keynote ended. Was informed via UPS at first that it would arrive next Tuesday, then it shifted to Monday, and a little while ago, UPS site said it would arrive today (Friday) before 10:30 AM!
Hard to believe, considering it started out from China (according to UPS) just a day ago and is passing through Louisville on the way here to So. California. I love it when expectations are exceeded!
Update: Dang! Just refreshed the UPS site and it now says "Scheduled connection missed" in Louisville and there is no longer an ETA listed. I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means....

Make that five. Wish they would send with UPS and not FedEx and also offer a Saturday delivery option..
I ordered a 256Gb 11" MacBook Air, Intel Core i5 with 8Gb Ram Upgrade. Originally ordered as a 126Gb hours after the Apple Store went online on the day of the Keynote, but I changed my order the following day (moved from 128Gb to 256Gb, Core i7 to Core i5). I received my Shipping Notification this morning: June 24 delivery via UPS.
First time in a long while that I ordered a computer from the Apple Online Store. Got so use to receiving packages from Fedex that it took me aback that they will be shipping via UPS this time.

Yeah they always used FedEx, I thought, until the iPhone 4S when they shipped it to me with UPS. Now it seems like a mix of both (probably was always that way).
I got almost the exact config, except I went for the i7. I even originally went for the 128GB but bumped it up to 256GB on Wednesday.
Apple's delivery estimate for my machine is June 19-21, and I haven't received a shipment notification yet. Still on "processing items".
You placed your order a day after me, so I am sure you will be receiving that Shipment Notification soon.
There was no "ship to store" option when I placed my order online on Monday. So I'm having the package held at the FedEx store 1/2 mi. from my home since I won't be @ home to sign for it when it arrives on (now) Tuesday. Still...for a pkg coming from China, it's pretty darn quick if you think about it and how part of that time is the manufacturing/processing/packaging of the equipment on top of the shipping time.
