UPS pulled ye olde bait-and-switch--spent the day periodically checking mapped location of delivery truck. Watched with despair around lunchtime as it neared my house and then.... drove right by and lazily followed a route several towns away for the rest of the day. Maybe won't be delivered until tomorrow? DOUBLE-U TEE EFF. Sad! Fake news?
Then about an hour ago....a SECOND, *different* truck delivered my airpods. Sneaky.

I really hate watching the UPS truck drive by my house, spend 3 hours around the county, then come right back in and turn in my driveway. They simply can't make a left turn.
UPS never drops off the packages at my place. I almost always have to go pick it up. The problem isn't always the signature (which my account states they don't need to get), but that they don't hit the buzzer. I can watch them walk up and leave the "missed you" sticker without even an effort. If I'm home and see it, I can catch them. But during the day I'm not home (but someone usually is).
Got mine today. I ordered within 5 minutes of them coming out. Wireless charging case, engraved. 
My generation 1’s are barely lasting 2 hours and the case keeps dying.

I noticed a huge sound difference with my Apple Watch Series 4 from gen 1 to gen 2 today and you can turn the volume up tons more FYI
They are Out for delivery. Rescheduled delivery from yesterday to today.

Was supposed to get them yesterday but nobody was home to sign for them. I wish they would have told me they needed a signature because my daughter works about 2 minutes away from the house and she could get away if I need her to. Hopefully I get them today. Somebody should be home but when they give you a couple hour window you never know.
Yea that has to suck.... mine didn’t require signature. Some of them did and others required it. Very bizarre
I picked up the Airpods with Wireless charging case yesterday at the UPS Store Access Point. I may consider returning them as it doesn't work properly on my wireless charger (my Anker Powerwave 7.5W with cooling fan works fine as it charges my phone without any issues) and I just ordered for a in-store pick up for the ones without the wireless charging case.
Got mine last night. These are my first pair and I have been afraid that they would not stay in my ears because earbuds never really worked for me. I am happy to report they stay in much better than earbuds, at least while sitting in my office and walking. I'm now kicking myself for holding off so long.
One thing I wish they had was an easy way (on the top bar) on the iPhone to tell that they are connected (and that the sound will come from them and not my iPhone speaker). Also, when using other bluetooth headphones or wired headphones the volume indicator said "headphones", now it just says "volume".

Pull down the control center. If the AirPods are connected, the headphones icon will appear next to the battery percentage.
Just received mine today. Ordered on release day with deliver date of Apr 2- 4 when I ordered. These are my first airpods and now I'm hooked!
Decided to get the wireless charge version yesterday by online order...says later next week for delivery.
Was gonna see about going to the store to get them but it’s a 45 minute drive and thought I might get a recently made pair of them by ordering online.

I just got an update and they changed the range to April 15 - April 16th. Not quite as bad, but a bit annoying. If I wasn't using Amazon Credit to pay for about 1/3 of it, I'd probably cancel.
Best Buy shipped mine early. They’ll be here Saturday. Sorry that you can’t cancel. That’s unfortunate.
Well... I ordered on launch day, knowing that a signature was required, I redirected the package to a UPS access point and still no package. Called UPS and they said it’s past 48 hours for me to call Apple. Looking on the ups website last tracking info was 23rd. But if I go into Apple and check my status it shows 27th out for delivery.
I’m beginning to think these ups access points are useless.

Interesting. I redirected mine to UPS Store Access point as well had no issues. I usually always to UPS CC because it's easier for me to pick up after work. However, my local UPS CC has weird hours of operation (i.e 10 am -12:30 pm; 4 pm - 6 pm), and there are times when I work till 6 PM and wouldn't be able to pick it up at the UPS CC on those days. Wednesday was one of them and I opted to choose the UPS Access point that closes at 7 pm.
Thanks, Apple notes that if it’s still in transit this long it most likely got lost. They are tracking it with UPS. Have to wait till Tuesday now.
So I’m just going to Apple store and pick it up.
