Ordered around 6 hours after announcement in the UK. Delivery 30th December.
Is anyone else pathetically and desperately repeatedly re-checking their order status in the hope that somehow the date has moved up?
I am so bitter that I found out they were on sale so late. Normally I check MR every eight seconds and would have caught the announcement much earlier. But I'd given up on seeing the AirPod announcement any time before Christmas.
So bitter.

Got very lucky - it was the rare occasion I wasn't checking MacRumors every two minutes, so when I saw they had already been for sale for nearly two hours I was thinking the worst! Fortunately UK stock was very good.

You're not making any friends here.
They were still arriving on the 19th until at least 7PM UK time - a full five hours. I'm sure you will be able to find some in store if you don't want to wait.

Why did I not check MR? Why? I keep asking myself over and over. I can't think, I can't sleep. It's a nightmare.
Don't live near a real Apple Store. There's an iStore in my town. Could try there, I guess.
I hate my wired EarPods more than ever now.
I'm hoping they are just under promising and will over deliver and start shipping out sooner.
I'm pretty disappointed that I had ordered 2 hours after the announcement and now have to wait 4 weeks haha...
