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

Mine has shipped, via UPS. Tracking number not working obviously.

Wow, when I ordered my 13" MBA CTO, it was 6 days 20 hours from the moment I submitted the order to Apple until the moment the unit showed up at my office.

I ordered the 11" netbook version this past Monday at around 4PM CST. I'm on my way to pick it up from the Fedex office in about an hour. That's 3 days 16 hours total time from when I hit the submit button.

That's a HECKUVA lot faster....either initial demand has diminished or Apple has caught up on the productions side.

Ha!!

This is the strangest bit of tracking i've seen from Apple in recent months (i'm not complaining either). Its been showing as "merge in transit" since the past few days... and still is.... yet UPS just delivered the full lot (including Applecare which was scheduled for delivery today regardless). Opened the door and as soon as I seen the big box... got one of them 'nerdgasms'

Happy days

DO the stores have the 13" in stock fully loaded?

I would imagine they do, but it's not on the sign next to the display machines, I called and asked, wether it's called 'The ultimate' by the store I don't know.

 

[Sound Evolution]

Oh yes!!! Finally an UPS tracking number. My MBA 11 "ultimate" + 27" cinema display will arrive monday!! I am thrilled

This gonna be a longgg weekend

With kind regards,
Bas

Anyone know the UPS route for Shanghai to UK?

Anyone know the UPS route for Shanghai to UK?

China -> Korea -> Kazakhstan -> Germany -> UK

That's the route my MBA took last week.

I just ordered my first Mac, the MacBook Air 13,3", fully upgraded.
I also ordered Office for Mac and hopefully I'll get a Magic Mouse for christmas.

Thanks! That's a weird route though :/

Bought a maxed out 11" from the Manchester Apple store this morning. Wow, it is one sweet sweet piece of kit . It's the ultraportable Mac I've always dreamt of, truly. Impressed by the screen too, seems like a happy halfway house between matte & glossy.

Oh, and the iPad's on ebay, heh.

Nope! Never had problems like that when ordering Apple products online.

My 13" ultimate had bright pixels: annoying when viewing/editing photos. I sent it back to exchange: received today, but the replacement hasn't shipped. Ordered through Apple.

 

[zstar]

Yeah! just got my mba 13" ultimate from the DHL man. Haven't unsealed it yet, hopefully no major problems ( dead pixels, faulty hinge, and all the other stuff )

 

[ct2k7]

Mine's still in transit between China and Korea, can't take 20 hours, can it?

 

[ct2k7]

UPS tracking does work in the weekend doesn't it? It can't take 24 hours to reach Korea or Europe; they do work in the weekend?

I'm not sure, but I think that ups doesn't update it's tracking status over the weekend. I seem to remember a flurry of updates showing up on Monday.

Did yours not go to Poland from Germany before reaching the UK? I'm pretty sure mine did...
