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

[makingmusic]

Yeah. I'm kinda wondering the same thing. It has happened before where they scanned it in at the final main hub (indianapolis) and all of a sudden, all the other scans showed up beforehand. That's what I'm hoping for anyway..

That would be AWESOME but I'm not betting on it! Until tomorrow!

I think Apple built a number of BTO / CTO models to have on hand on launch day to keep the orders moving. I ordered a maxed out 13" the very moment the Apple Store came back on line on launch day. Mine sailed through the system & arrived two days ago.

I've put a lot of time on it and I'm quite pleased. The only annoyance is the glossy display. I have a 15" mid 2010 MBP with hi/res anti-glare display which is far superior. But then again I'm not comparing these two as I bought each for two distinctively different types of work. The MBA meets my needs ideally just as I expected it would. I'm happy I chose the largest SSD & 4GB RAM, since it's highly likely I will keep it longer than anticipated, it's that nice.

So are you trying to tell us to be patient?

Maybe he's telling us that he would gladly give up his so that we don't have to wait...

Ok. Right about this time, the thread becomes filled with European postings. So as us here in Canada go to sleep, let's hear the shipping news in Austrailia, Asia and Europeanites... Good day eh!

Prepared for Shipment

Ordered on Oct 26, status changed to prepared for shipment tonight.

Flight FDX93 landing in 4 minutes. Mine is apparently on that flight based on dept time and my last update on tracking. Guess this means I won't be getting my MBA in Atlanta tomorrow. Guess I'll have something to look forward to on Monday.

The most frustrating part... Atlanta now has fully maxed out MBAs in the store apparently (so I read in another thread) and I could have my MBA right now. Boo!

Oh and I ordered at 9PM EST on the 22nd

 

[sjsharks13]

mine came this afternoon!

jesus christ monkey balls this thing is awesome!!!!

 

[daleski75]

Mine is now in Korea

 

[orpheus1120]

Just received my MBA 2.13/4/256 from DHL yesterday morning.

Does anyone know what company is this Syncreon what Apple is using?

My order has been shipped 28th Oct via Syncreon (that what it says in Apples site). There is a strange tracking number, which doesn't work if I try it on Syncreons web site

There is no other info about the courier or even an tracking number in the Track this shipment page either.

Hey Slazareth, I think most of us that ordered is starting to see this. My ultimate bto was unofficially in the stores since Wednesday. They don't have them out or priced but they have them in the back.

Arghhh!

Hey! I guess ours our on the same flights. Mine still slated for Nov 1, 10:30AM as well. Where are you located? I'm in Southern Cal.

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed you're in TX.

We in Singapore are still waiting for "Agency approval". Ugh. So frustrating!! Every half an hour I check the Apple website to see if that annoying red notice is taken off...even though all the stores I went to (4 of them) as well as the telesales guy told me that it'll take AT LEAST 2 weeks. And only then will the order be PROCESSED. Fuuuuuu.....

But, I still bought it. Happily charged my credit card, even though the order can't be processed. can't WAIT for it to get here. For now, I have to be happy reading about it over, and over, and over again.

1st time mac switcher btw =)

 

[Bluemeanie1976]

Mine has landed in Newark, NJ... only 300 miles away!

I feel for ya ninjadogz,
Think of it this way, one guy had someone sign for his and it was delivered to the wrong address. If they get it back, they'll return it to apple incase of tampering. In otherwords, he's screwed. You atleast have some hope youllbget yours before him!

 

[nidserz]

Anybody who got their 128GB SSD MBA, how much space is there actually? Mine was around 107.xGB, but I didn't record it/remember. I only installed Chrome, Adium, and VLC... and I only have about 105.92GB left. Is this normal?
Thanks.
Oh, I deleted all the DMGs, etc. so that shouldn't be taking up space. Thanks!

To those still waiting, be patient (I know I couldn't, so its hard to say), but its worth it. Both machines are fantastic!
