My order dispatched Germany at 04:30 but hasn't arrived anywhere???

Hopefully it's just the parcel company that haven't scanned it as they aren't in office until early Monday!!

Congratulations on your first mac! I think i5/256/8 is the way to go. Enjoy it! (And Apple is working on that wifi issue...)

I was thinking i7 but many people say it's overkill and not needed, also making the laptop hotter than with i5

and thanks, hope to enjoy it.
Went to the apple store today and loved them.

Congrats! You mean July 9-12? Otherwise, your Mac is already there!

Whether that is actually true or not, it is exactly why I went with i5 as well.

Thanks. Seems that UPS did not get it so far...

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

I still don't have my MBA that I ordered last Thursday but it's in Dubai now. I'm in Abu Dhabi now and I can't wait! If I could just take it from Dubai; it's just a 2hour drive. Hahaha.

Ordered my first MacBook ever, 256/8. Will receive it the day before my birthday. Excited to join the Mac family. Been a PC user since I was 14. I will be posting many questions here.

 

[Philip Fry]

I also ordered my first MacBook ever yesterday. Estimated shipping date to Canada is July 10th-15th, hopefully it won't take that long... Like many others I got i5/256/8 configuration. I'm sure I'll be on this forum a lot trying to get used to the OS I'm very excited!

BOMP...the UPS guy called...he'll be delayed a few days while he uses your new MBA to compete in the Angry Birds Tournament.

That's all good, can't blame him they are addictive little guys!!!

Bought my MBA on Friday: i5, 8gb, 126gb. After putting all software inside, battery lasted for 12 hours. Excellent.

I ordered a new Air on the 25th, shipped on the 28th. The fedex tracking number was working fine up until today, this morning when I tried to check the status of my shipment, but fedex is telling me "No record of this tracking number can be found."

Has anybody else experienced this?

They just filed for bankruptcy and taken all the shipments home.....

Honestly I think it's just due to them not being operational over the weekend, should be with you tomorrow!!

Yup, happened to me an hour ago. I think BOMP is over there in Shanghai, hijacking FEDEX pickups.

My tracking info just came back, 2:50 PM EDT, along with a photo of BOMP in a van full of MBA's.

Quick update.. My shipping came back too. Had me worried for a second. Estimated delivery still says Wednesday but it's here in Cali already so hopefully tomorrow will be a good day! Thanks guys.

My MBA(13" 128GB with i7, 8gb ram upgrades) arrived in Koeln, Germany 30.06.2013 17:51. But the estimated arrival in Uppsala, Sweden is 4th of July That doesn't sound right given the time it has taken between stops so far, so I contacted UPS to see if it could be arranged I could pick it up someplace earlier.

It's correct as Germany is a hub so they will hold it to consolidate freight and ship as a consignment onto Sweden.

As for collecting earlier this will be a definite no. Apple are the customer and they must deliver to their specified address to avoid loss/theft and subsequent claims

Sorry I have worked in logistics for nearly 10 years so have a little deeper understanding of the internal procedures.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the insight
