The "I just bought/ordered/got/shipped my new/refurb MBA" thread, [Merged]

Just placed an online order thru my campus store as an alumni. $50 cheaper than Apple Education store due to lower AppleCare price.

Let's see how long it takes. Intending to replace my old 2015 rMB12. Woulda preferred a new rMB12 but that clearly wasn't going to happen at this point and I just couldn’t justify buying a 2017.

Campus store ordered the MBA on 4/7, and they received it today from Apple.

I should have it on Monday.

SG i5/16/512

Had a change of mind (surprise, surprise) on my order. Cancelled a 8GB in favour of 16GB RAM. So..SG i5/16/256 ordered today through Apple Education Store. Considering it a long term purchase and with the education discount I’m paying just under £170 over the RRP of the base model for an upgrade to i5 and 16GB RAM.
Delivery estimate is 8 -12 May. 8th is a public holiday in the UK this year, would be nice to sneak in just before that but no real expectations all things considered.

I ordered the same spec today but in gold. also to the UK. My estimate is 14-20 May. Mine won’t make it but hope yours does for that time! It’s not like we can go out and enjoy the weather...

I just bought a Macbook Air i5/8GB/256 from BHPhoto for my mom.

it’s in stock, ships next Tuesday, arrives May 1st. Got her the "Gold" model.

Good thing is that, since we live in FL, it’s tax free and free shipping.

Damn, I didn't think to check there. I'm in FL too and would've liked to have saved $100. Oh well, too late now.

Just remember, with B&H once you open it it is yours. No returns like you can do ordering from Apple. Great if you’re 100% on what you want, but worth being aware of if you have any questions.

I don’t believe you are right. I think you have 30 days even if you open it.
 
Should I order my i3 2020 MacBook Air via amazon and get it in 2 days or through apple and wait more than a week ?
 
Got my air i5/8gb/512 some time last week. It’s main purpose in love is to manage my photos library. Maybe some very minor Pixelmator stuff now and again, but mostly just Photos management and tagging. I have yet to notice the fans go on, I love the keyboard, and I greatly prefer it over my 2018.

I just picked up an i5/8bg/512 in gold from Best Buy and I'm in LOVE. I have had the same MacBook Air since 2015 and thought it was time to and I don't regret it one bit! While my older MacBook works perfectly fine still, aside from being a bit sluggish, I'm super happy!

I think the date may change once it’s shipped and you’ll see a more accurate date with the shipping service whichever it is. Hopefully you’ll get it sooner. What colour did you order?

I ordered the same configuration but in gold, got charged yesterday but no change in order status. Still on processing. Mine is coming to the U.K. however.

However, I ended up changing spec again ! (basically because I’ve got a new iPad Pro and just want the Air to supplement that for some tasks so I’ve just gone for the base unit).
Notice you’ve been charged - be interested to know how long after that your status changes from Processing to PTS.

I’m interested in that too! I got charged on the 30th afternoon in the U.K. - but no update in status. Still processing.

I think it varies though. I note some people get charged one day and preparing shipment the next and shipment a day after. For some it’s done all over night or preparing shipment on the same day of the card card. Sadly none of those were me.

What spec did you end up with?

Just the base i3/8/256GB - it will be enough for my purposes, although there’s always the possibility I might change my mind again 🙄
 
Is anyone seeing “Your package has been delayed due to events beyond our control. We're adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible.” When checking through shipment status?
 
I’ve ordered a Space Grey i7/8GB/500GB on 26th April.
Payment was taken on Friday and order shows Processing still with an estimate of 15-21st May.
Hopefully it changes to shipping soon and get provided an earlier estimate date!
