Mine's been in Germany since Saturday. No update since about 20.00 UK time last night:

KOELN (COLOGNE), DE 07/11/2010 21:08 IMPORT SCAN

And it's still there! The estimated delivery is for later today (9th) but it's 0100GMT on the 9th and it's still in Germany. I wonder whether it will make it. So far my shipment has done nothing for 3 days, one day in Shanghai, one day in Korea and now one day and counting in Cologne.

On the bright side, I'm learning to be patient

 

[arwyn80]

Got mine today! Thankfully the fiance was off from work today and signed for it for me. Re-installed the OS and downloaded some things. I'm so glad it's here, I missed having something else around to use to do computer things.

What does export scan mean on the UPS tracking website?

Mine was shipped to London GB on 3rd. Current status was "Dispatched" on 6th. Since then no change. Probably stuck in some warehouse waiting for Office 2011 to be merged.
Was estimated delivery 12th when ordered, but now 16th, (subject to change).

Out for delivery now!

I wouldn't be complaining! If they sent it together you would be waiting much longer like many of us on here

[ProfMonnitoff]

Logged onto the tracking website this morning to see that my Air was shipped and signed for. When I went to the doorman, all he had for me was a little envelope with the AppleCare DVD/booklet

 

[DAMNiatx]

I just noticed they sended my superdrive from singapore, while my macbook air will be sended from china, and my location in malaysia. hmm..

UK 'Merge' MBA Delivered

MBA & Applecare envelope arrived via UPS @ 11am today.
For those in UK with other stuff ordered that has to be merged in transit:
Ordered 28th
Dispatched 1 November
Final carrier (UK Distribution Center) & tracking info (that didn't work!) late on Saturday 6th
UPS tracking info Monday 8th
Delivered today 9th
Hopefully, those in the same boat or plane can use the dates to get a good idea of when you'll get your delivery. The uncertainty bugs me & I know from a past order it's a lot more fun tracking your Mac from China.
Good luck to all those still waiting...

09 Nov 2010 11:45:00 KF7 Held Awaiting Correct Address. Follow Up Actions Underway.
09 Nov 2010 09:38:05 KF7 Out For Delivery.
09 Nov 2010 00:25:01 Hong Kong Shipment Received At Transit Point.

this just sucks, TNT is much slower compared to FEDEX (not only the trackingstatus but the delivery as well). The address was used before to order stuff from Apple so why should it be incorrect

 

[desistyle]

My Macbook air has made it to my local fedex facility as of 6:58 AM this morning, but it's now 8:24 AM and it has not yet switched to "out for delivery". Does anyone know whether or not I will get it today? What's the latest that a package can go out for delivery?

 

[Star-fire]

Well just ordered mine. Base 11.6" with 4GB ram, I've been waiting for a long time for a ultra-portable Mac, almost bought a 13" Air last year, but that difference just wasn't enough from my MBP 15", but the 11.6" is perfect, I'll take this damn thing everywhere!

So hope it gets here quick, I can't wait! Might end up selling the iPad though.

EDIT: Got UPS tracking details 7.30pm - Billing info recieved. Estimated delivery date is tomorrow!!!

Well, I got my maxed out Macbook Air 11, late yesterday afternoon (One day earlier then predicated.) So far I love it, I didn't get a chance to play with it much yesterday (Due to an emergency with my dog. Had to get her to the Vet.)

I was tired by the time I got around to it last night. This may have contributed to a failure of the migration from my iMac to the 'book. I gave up and instead used Mobile me, to do all that stuff. No problems with that. I also used my little Air Super drive to install MS Office 2008 to do this. It worked just fine. (I have 2011 MS Office on order.)

I'm very impressed with the clarity of the screen and it's speed, etc. I think I made the right choice for what I will use it for.

I also have received the Case Logic bag, Air Super drive, Apple Magsafe Airline Adapter and the USB Ethernet Adapter kit.

The only problem besides the Migration problem was that I tried disk verification last night and it told me the disk was corrupted, so today, I'll have to use the USB Flash drive thing to use disk utility and fix that problem.

I used software update to update whatever it thought it needed and the were some updates it D/L.

Ordered my MBA 13.3/1.86/4/128 via Apple education store. It says the dispatch date is no longer than 3 days. Is that accurate?

From my experience, this is correct. I ordered Wednesday night last week, it shipped Friday and was delivered yesterday. I ordered a maxed out 13" through the education store. HTH.

Thanks! I have some time to figure out how to migrate from Windows.

If you ordered anything else with your MBA id cancel and place 2 seperate orders if it has only been a day or 2. I ordered through the education store on the 1st and am expecting delivery tomorrow so 9 days in total.

Nope, just the MacBook Air is coming. I can get the stuff such as VGA adapter from the shops here

 

[lsteixeira]

Hi All!

Lately, I found myself clicking too often in the Browser Refresh button to check if my MacBook Air 13" is arriving my door!!

Is it just me??!
Should I see a doctor?

Cheers!
