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

It's worth the wait, though I feel your pain.

 

[cbruun]

Getting worried here. It's at the local UPS hub in Copenhagen (I'm from Copenhagen myself), but I haven't received a Out For Delivery notice. I tried calling them and they said it's due to delivery today. Should I get worried that I won't have it until Monday, or is it maybe just UPS being slow?

It's +5hours since the computer was first scanned (10:17 in Denmark now)

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!

That *is* way worse. I hope that doesn't happen to me, or anyone else waiting for it!
For now, I'm doing 20 different 'Windows to Mac switcher' and OS X 101 mini courses. Can't wait! All the tiny Windows issues I've been putting up with all my life are now beginning to REALLY annoy me

I'm not sure what Denmark Ups is like but I know here in Canada, most couriers have a afternoon delivery as well as a morning delivery. If it's only 10am, you still have the whole day. Be more worried at 3pm.

Windows was great for Solitaire!!

 

[cbruun]

Thanks, they said they delivers until 5pm. I'll call them if my status doesn't move at 3pm.

That's it. Going to sleep now. 4:32am dreaming that my MBA is already in my city ready to be dropped off at 9am. Looking forward to some fresh air and breakfast!

So strange...this is how my order status page looks like:

http://cloud.inf.fi/4180e316ad381319ac22

and when i click track this shipment:

http://cloud.inf.fi/595daa83a2f30aff57e6

And it's been the same for like 12hours now. So no tracking numbers for the order.

Usually Apple provides those numbers very quickly...

I ordered mine about half an hour after it was announced, pretty much as soon as they updated the store. Fully spec'ed 13" Air. But I'm currently looking at a delivery date of Nov. 6th. Getting frustrated...

Lucky you.

I placed my order on the 21st, with an estimated delivery time of 2-4 days. But when I go to my order status on apple.com it has an estimated delivery on November 6th... And I am from Cph as well.
Which version did you order? I have ordered the fully loaded 13".

 

[cbruun]

13" 1.86GHz 4GB 128GB

On Apple.com tracking page it now says:
Current Delivery Status Out for Delivery 29 Oct 2010

But not on UPS. I hope I can trust Apple more than UPS haha, I really want it today.

I placed my order Friday 22th

 

[Billy Hoke]

Doesn't sound promising for me either. That's for the update though!

Both our MBA's seem to be on the same flight. I gave the guy on the phone a good earful before he insisted that there was nothing he could do about it.

Just got another update and at 18:20 the plane stopped off in Sydney. Seeing as TNT works around the clock (no deliveries though), Monday may seem like a reasonable estimate.

 

[catchdry]

I ordered the MBA 11,6 1,6Ghz, 4GB Ram, 128GB Flash one hour after the keynote. Estimated delivery from apple was oct 29th - nov 3rd. This is my tracking so far:
28 Oct 2010 23:20:41 Arnhem Hub Shipment Received At Transit Point.
28 Oct 2010 22:14:59 DC6 Shipment In Transit.
28 Oct 2010 10:11:40 Pudong International Airport Shipment In Transit.
26 Oct 2010 23:27:34 Pudong International Airport Shipment Received At Transit Point.
26 Oct 2010 20:28:00 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.
26 Oct 2010 20:20:04 Shanghai Shipment In Transit.
26 Oct 2010 19:25:05 Shanghai Shipment Collected From Sender.

Hoping to get it early next week

Finally something close to the 12" PB, have been waiting for this for about 4 years

 

[cbruun]

4 hours left Hope it will get here soon, I can't stand to wait until Monday. I'm stuck at my window with my Lenovo laptop atm

 

[sinophilia]

Just ordered one... not for me, for "the family"...
Expected delivery November 10. Wow.

 

[daleski75]

Mine was ordered on the 25th and this is the progress so far.

Looks like it went from Almaty to Cologne and now back to Almaty... what are UPS playing at!

Unless it is your country's customs that are holding it up, I'd talk to somebody at Apple.

 

[sparkie1984]

Well I will hopefully play with mine later!

If I survive the ferry crossing!!!!! Feel like were about to roll over!

 

[qbcall11]

this is bull, over 50 hours just sitting in China...something is got to be wrong,,

 

[limeybast]

Mine is now in transit from Shanghai, so it looks like it'll be on FDX-28 today. Let's hope it clears customs in Anchorage today or it'll probably be stuck there for the weekend.

Either way, it can still make the 11/2 delivery time.

It never went anywhere near Cologne, that's just the Import paperwork clearing.

It will be going to Cologne next though

Coolio it just threw me when it seemed to be going back and forth.

That's FDX-28, it leaves Shanghai at 08:30 PM CST (UTC+8), i.e. 8:30 AM East Coast, 5:30AM West Coast.
