MBAIR 13.3 CTO
2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; 256GB Flash Storage
Ships: 3 - 5 business days; Delivers: Oct 29 - Nov 4

Sounds like the same kind of stuff I heard from folks on the AT&T forums when people ordered their Iphone 4s back in the summer from the Apple online store. Maybe this will turn out to be OK and not much delayed. Status still says not shipped at this point. Coming from China?
I have the same spec as yours.
Which Apple Store country did you order from?
Why some Apple Store have ships "within 24 hrs" timeframe.
Mine will pass the 3 days limit today...and still no change in sight.

One day early

My MBA 11/128/4 was supposed to deliver on Wednes. (tomorrow) but as I followed the tracking, I realized that it would deliver today. Of course no-one was home and we had to go pick it up---BUT-- love it. It is small and truly portable, but more robust than a mere netbook.

This is what I have been waiting for, I realize. When the MBA 13 first came out, I bought it thinking IT was portable...it wasn't. This IS.

Just ordered a maxed out 13" MBA from MacMall. I called and they said they're back ordered and that they won't get a shipment in from Apple until the 5th of November. :(

I tried to understand what UPS does to deliver the MBA from Koeln to UK, it seems that the package won't fly to UK. I can't find any flight coming to UK during the 27th. UPS uses 3 airport in London and 1 in Edinburgh.

No one has a better understanding on what is happening from now?

Only thing I found on preious UPS delivery: http://evidently.com/?p=18

Judging by the seemingly epic amount of time it will take them to deliver, maybe they're using horse and cart from Cologne to UK. Their server told them this is most efficient GTFO UPS :mad:
:cool:

It's 7am, I'm going back to bed until Thursday

Came home from an appointment at 10:15 AM and found a brand new 11.6 "maxed specs" Air at my door! WooHoo, came a day early.

Luckily, I had printed out the "leave it at the door" FedEx form and pasted it to my front door just in case :)

Anyway, I have it all set up the way I want it and damn is it nice! The screen is fantastic!

I do sort of miss the keyboard backlight, but I'll get over it.

Later all!

It's quite incredible really that it's taken 8days for delivery of a laptop, I can only think Apple is using the cheapest shipping they can, which I wouldn't mind had I the option to get 2day delivery at a cost.

This has soured the experience somewhat.

It depends how you see it... Sure I would have liked that from the moment I have ordered the MBA the delivery is within a few days. But on the other hand I had great fun with the people here about anticipating where the MBA is, which airplane it took etc.
