Looks like there are at least 2 MBA's headed to Montana.

I decided to pull the trigger last night and submitted my order for the 13" 256 GB "with faster processor and more RAM" (2.13GHz and 4GB) Nov 16, 2010 at 10:30 PM PST.

It was listed as Ships in 2-4 business day.


However, just received notification

Nov 17, 2010 22:50 Shipment information sent to FedEx

Estimated delivery Nov 22, 2010 by 12:00


So things are moving along at a good pace over in China.

Typing this on my brand new 13"/128/4GB MBA! Ordered from Macmall on Tuesday afternoon and it's here and seemingly in working order! Pretty pumped!

Will have my 11" maxed out MBA on Tuesday! Just in time to get everything set up before I do a quick trip to Munich after Thanksgiving

Was not looking forward to lugging along my huge, clunky, heavy Rev A MBA :)

My order says prepared for shipment. Do you think I will get it today or tomorrow (I think fedex deliverers on Saturdays)>?

Picked up a Macbook Air last Tuesday. Amazing how nice it is. Bottom of the pile is my old, rundown 2006 Macbook Pro, which is slow by comparison. Middle is an iBook G3 12 inch, amazing how huge it is by comparison.

I'm just going to add to the list...

I ordered a 13" 4g ram CTO on the 17th. Shipping info the morning of the 19th. This morning, listed as 'in transit' but has a delivery date of the 29th... ughhhh.

Why on earth should it take 10 days to get to Denver? The expedited shipping option gave the same 22nd-29th delivery dates as non-expedited. Any chance the delivery will be sooner?

They just give themselves a lot of leeway on those estimates (better to make your customers happy by getting it there early than mad by getting it there late).

My original estimated delivery date was Nov 22, 2010 by 12:00. It arrived Nov 19th at 14:09. I paid for expedited shipping.

Odd..mine showed 'in transit' in China yesterday and was just updated as international release in AK. No way it'll take over a week from there to Denver, right?

Ordered a 13" 4GB on the 16th. Didn't expedite because it didn't change the estimated arrival date of the 22nd-30th. I'm heading out of town for thanksgiving so I've been worried about it getting here before I leave.

It feels like its taken forever. Macmall has it in stock and will ship overnight, even Saturday delivery.

My latest status, it was finally shipped, sat in china for a day or two, then arrived in Alaska yesterday. Made it to new jersey last night 2am. It may spend the weekend there. It should be able to get to me by Monday, but since its not expedited, I wouldn't be surprised to see it have another day layover somewhere and get here Tuesday. A week after ordering. Seems slow and inefficient to me.

Received a day earlier than expected

I ordered my 13" Macbook Air (4GB) the first week it was out and actually missed the first delivery because it arrived at my house a day earlier than what was posted on the website!
That was a first!
I have had my computer for almost a month and it is better than I expected! I have no regrets buying it! :D

I've never seen FedEx be so slow delivering a package. It sat in china for a day or two, then spent a day in anchorage. Then spent a day in new jersey. Then it went to Memphis, even though Memphis isn't any closer to me than new jersey. And FedEx has direct flights from anchorage to Memphis, so why the new jersey detour? Best part, from memphis, no flight at all. Truck it from there to waste another day. I'm sure it will get here eventually, but what a leisurely world tour...

It will sit in China till Apple has enough palets to release. This is Apples policy, FedEx cannot ship what Apple has not released to them. In Alaska it must be cleared by customs. I've seen clearances issued in a few hours, or sit for days if the required paperwork is not included by Apple. Customs doesnt have anything to do with FedEx. Apple allows x number of days for shipping unless you pay for expedited.
