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

Me! Mine has been “Shipment picked up” in Shanghai since 26/7 at 17:31 local time.

Hoping DHL are just skipping a few scans here and there, and that it’ll be landing in Auckland any minute now.

My delivery date is 3 August, so plenty of time until then either way.

My card’s just been charged. Also im thinking my delivery date is slightly later than yours since I live rural?

Same here with the card charge, must’ve happened in the past couple of hours.

You’re probably right about the rural delivery. I usually get stuff overnight from Apple (when it comes from Sydney), I’m guessing yours normally takes an extra day?

Yeah it must have been around 9.. and yeah always an extra day or 2..
Keep refreshing hoping there’s been a new scan but nothing yet haha. Let me know how you go 🙂

It’s out for delivery in my town so I should be getting mine today, wooot.

Just got an update that my Starlight 8/16/512, ordered July 19, shipped via UPS. Currently in Shanghai, expected delivery August 1.

 

[mgscheue]

Guys, quick question. My 8/24/512 M2 Air has finally moved to 'preparing for shipping' on Wednesday. How long does it take from 'preparing for shipping' to actual shipping?

Been waiting since July 9, but looks like it will still be here on time (August 1-8).

My 8/16/512 took seven days to go from preparing to shipped.

Trying to figure out what UPS flight my order might be on from Anchorage but don’t understand flight tracking sites? Anyone can help a guy out for an order going to Jersey City (I think next step is Louisville).

 

[86Hawkeye]

Ok, Apple Card finally charged early this AM Chicago time. Apple says August 5 delivery and UPS says August 1 delivery.

I’ll mentally split the difference and count on August 3 delivery😎.

 

[applenerd1218]

Thanks apple. So much for getting it at any reasonable amount of time. It's sitting down the road for two days before you deliver it.

 

[carfo]

Does anybody know if a signature is required for delivery? I won’t be home during the delivery window

 

[kjwamlex]

Credit card just got charged, and now I'm on "Preparing to ship". Ordered on July 21st, still same Aug 10 - 16 ETA. 8/16/512 Space Grey with 67W charger.

Mine is on this exact track. Coming to VA.

I see above that couple of folks' Starlight and Space Grey ordered around July 20th has now shipped. Has anyone's Midnight ordered after opening day shipped yet? I ordered on July 9th (8/16/512) and still no movement.

I ordered midnight 8/16/512 on 07/22 and my card got charged a couple days ago but order still shows processing. Store pickup date is 08/16.

My MBA just cleared customs in Anchorage. I’m on the west coast. UPS is showing delivery tomorrow 7/28. But apple order online info system is saying delivery in 2-3 weeks so not sure how accurate that is. Can anyone tell me the delivery path once you clear US customs? Is it possible it’ll come 7/28 (west coast in store delivery)? Just setting mental expectations since I already had a glitch with the order. Thanks!

Is yours out for delivery today? I’m on the north east coast and mine cleared customs this morning and UPS has delivery tomorrow. Usually its Anchorage to Louisville to the somehwere within a few hours to delivery. I have gotten items from Louisville delivered in < 24 hours.

 

[brianj922]

Does yours have an ETD? Mine did, but then it way on the UPS website , although the app is still showing tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised I've seen that kind of quick route from AL to the East Coast.

One possibility. There are 6 scheduled ANC => SDF UPS flights today. We won't know which one it's on until they get departure scans!

Yes! Amazingly it went to Louisville but turned right around and made it back to the west coast this morning and is listed as out for delivery. Apple tracking listing arrival Aug 2. Hope they don’t make me wait that long.

I have same config as you and mine went to “shipped” early this AM Chicago time. Ordered an hour after pre-orders began on July 8.

I think Apple’s dates are “by xyz”, not “on xyz”.

Think positive😎.

Are you sure the card charge isn’t “pending”?

 

[Aka757]

Are you sure the card charge isn’t “pending”?

Yeah it is a pending charge, I suppose I should have specified before. It's a pending charge but just showed up a couple days ago, whereas previously I only had a pending charge for $150 (I believe for the gift card since I am getting this through the education store). No final charges yet for me.

 

[4743913]

so whats the wait time between "preparing for shipment" and "shipped" ? 24 hours?

 

[spraycansoul]

Many people waiting on 8/24GB BTO?
