Today’s the day! Already out for delivery. Will be sitting by the door 😂 I enjoyed being in the same “boat” with you 😉 Have fun unboxing! ✨
Look what just got delivered by UPS - and a comparison to my trusty old 11 inch MBA (mid 2013). Almost the same width, greater depth, lower height on the back, higher on the front, and weights just 100g (1.2 kg vs 1.1 kg) more. Hope your MBA is arriving soon! Have fun as well! :D

Wow!! That’s an early delivery! Enjoy! 🙌🏻✨
It’s nice that UPS made up for being slow in the beginning by taking a sprint at the end.
Can’t wait to unbox mine when it arrives.

Hmm.. wondering how long it'll take before mine arrives here in Belgium. It first had a delivery estimate of July 28, but now it just says 'The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.'

I guess it's on its way to Cologne?

Check on the iPhone Apple Store app. On the iPhone my date is now July 29 but the website order page still says 2-3 weeks. It's pretty odd. Something to do with picking up at an Apple store.

Edit: Has anyone else noticed that BTO orders can't be picked up at Apple stores any longer. My 8/10/24/1 Midnight MBA is being delivered to a store but if you try to order that configuration today, you get "Pickup:Apple Store Pickup is currently unavailable". Not sure what that is about either.
I’ve noticed no in store pick up option too but wasn’t sure why they would change this now. Some base models seem to be shippable to store still. Assumming they want to avoid in store pick up foot traffic and process hassle? Hope they change this as in store pickup is more convenient for many.
Any thoughts on this change out there?

😩🤬😡 Just got a delivery notice from UPS but my MBA WASN’T delivered at all!! It’s signed for by “John”’and delivered at “office”. There is neither an office nor a John here, and there hasn’t been a UPS truck in our street either! Called UPS and they’re having their Backofice look into it. Can’t handle this after all the waiting 🤬😢 Any suggestions?

It happens sometimes that they do their administration at some point in their route. To speed up delivery of the individual packages the driver just scans and signs all packages as delivered for the next leg of their journey. This actually happened to me once before. I also had this, delivered at "office". I called UPS to verify where the package was delivered and they said to me that I had to wait for another hour or so before calling again. Some drivers have this practice. Now, not to say that this is happening to you now but it could be that the package is close to delivery.

Thank you so much for giving me some hope 🙏🏻 Called Apple as well and they’re looking into it as well as UPS. Let’s hope the driver did what you described 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh I get where you are right now. I'm a nerve wreck when something expensive has to be delivered (or when I'm doing a trade-in). Constantly checking the app, is the package still en-route? Peeking from the windows, is the driver in the street? I hate myself for doing that but nonetheless, I keep doing it. Just for that reason if there's the option for pickup in the Apple store, I'll choose that option.

I’ve never been nervous about deliveries (my husband does that for the 2 of us 😆) but that’s been forever ruined now I guess. Apple adviced me to order a new one because of the delivery time. Now I wish I chose delivery at Apple Store… Delivery between Aug 11-18 😩

Ugh .. I do hope the package still turns up but yeah, I get where they're coming from. Better to order a second one but cancel it if the MBA still turns up in the coming days. I do hope it still gets delivered today though!

In case it helps anyone later on to figure out timelines: 10/24/2 midnight ordered 5 minutes after preorders opened to USA Virginia. Shipped on 25th via UPS, very quickly went from Shanghai to customs. Has been stuck there ever since awaiting clearance. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I find it unlikely to be at my door within 36 hours if it’s still in China. Looks like my $15 confirmed delivery window was worthless too.

My MBA has finally made it to chicago, hopefully it doesn't sit there for two days and gets processed quickly. ETA is friday still. Thankfully work has kept me busy, I'm still checking every hour or so though lol.

Mine said delivery was supposed to be yesterday but it’s been “delayed” bc of a mechanical failure. The delivery date is now today but who knows…
Mine was stuck with that all night too. Just checked and in the last 20 minutes it has arrived at Louisville.

I was scheduled for today. Guess tomorrow is the day then. :(

Would you look at that. I'm getting real tired of this, Apple. It arrived two days ahead of time, but I won't get it until Friday probably, since that's the ETA on the site. :mad:

A mechanical failure has caused a delay. We will update the delivery date as soon as possible.

It was scheduled to be here the 7/27, but they said it would be here 7/26.
maybe Apple was right when they said Aug 1-8. Big swing for UPS standard delivery

That gives me hope! What was your original arrival date? My July 19 Starlight 10/16/512 remains stubbornly in processing.

Is it wrong that I check about a gazillion times a day?

order another one. cancel the one that that does not move first. its Apple Store or nothing for me in the future.

Scary to read and sorry to hear! Something straight out of (those delivery-related) nightmares. 😳 It sounds you were on the ball with contacting them as soon as the mistake happened so I don’t follow on why they couldn’t get in touch with the driver right away. Any update since?

Thanks. Have called UPS three times today, and finally half an hour ago I was called back. They haven’t been able to contact the driver (all day??). They could see the GPS where the scan was made wasn’t in my neighborhood. They say that sometimes happens (I guess when a driver scans the packages in advance?) but that it’s weird that there’s a name John who supposedly signed for it, and it’s weird that is says it was left at an office while my address is a normal apartment. They can’t help me today but hopefully tomorrow. Am not holding my breath…
New Midnight 8/16/512 order should arrive Aug 11-18 (I ordered the first one within the first 4 mins on pre-order day) 😩

I just checked and mine is in KY as well. (I live on the east coast). It says delivery is today but the shipment isn't in an "Out for delivery" status yet, so I'm hoping it'll be here tomorrow. Honestly, as long as I get it before Friday I'll be happy.
