Thanks for explaining it. That’s what I thought it might be. I have been spamming that button a few times a day for the last couple days, but I always get an error...

Oh well... At least I was able to schedule a confirmed two hour window (even though my package still says both 4/20 delivery and “date tentative”).



Yes, I think ours are probably traveling together.

Here is my timeline so far:
MBA Space Gray i7/16/2TB
April 1 - Order Placed (Processing)
April 10 - Pending charge on card
April 13 - Preparing to ship
April 14 - Shipped

It’s on its way to the east coast (USA). Apple has always said it should arrive between the 21st and 28th. Hopefully UPS is right and I can get it a day early!

I think my Air is on the same flight.

I'm waiting until I get to our family place in a tax-free state. In AZ our rate is near 9%. So saving the taxes on a MacBook Air would amount to a true $899 price instead of $980 or so

Spent the afternoon and evening updating OS, installing apps and data, and coming from a 13" MBP early 2011 I'm absolutely in love with it. I can hardly hear the fan when it comes on rarely.

I hope everyone loves theirs as much when they get them.
 
UK Silver i5/16/512

Ordered 1st April
Delivery window 22nd to 27th April
Processing: 13 days
Preparing to ship: 13th April
Shipped (UPS): 15th April

New delivery date: 21st April.
Mine arrived in Hong Kong at 00:02 this morning local time and I hope that it made it onto UPS Flight 5X3 which left at 12:55 and is currently winging its way to Dubai and then on to Cologne arriving there later today. From there it will have to change to a UK bound flight.

Shipping data hasn’t updated to show that it has left Hong Kong though. Does anyone know if this means that it’s still there?

I'm afraid it means it's still there together with a bunch of parcels waiting to be sent to their destination. Sometimes it could happen that updates aren't shown for a while on the internet because of technical problems or because the scanner doesn't send this data automatically and should wait to be connected to a dock but I don't think that's the case.
 
My MBA has mirrored yours almost exactly. Hopefully soon!

edited to add - Just now showed that it cleared customs and I'm showing Monday delivery to Arkansas.

Any update on yours? I was excited to see that other people had packages arriving in Alaska overnight and then already going out for delivery halfway across the country the next morning. However mine made it from Anchorage to Kentucky yesterday morning and has just been sitting there since 9 AM. Now says that it is expected for delivery today even though it hasn’t moved in >24 hrs and is 5 hours away from me..
 
Ordered i5/512/16gb on the 6th and it just went into preparing to ship this morning.
Oh man, I have the same config but ordered on the 7th. When I go to Apple to check status it says ”can’t display order history at this time, check back later.” I do see that my CC has a temp auth that started today, so maybe some good news. Weird that I’m glad to see that Apple is taking my money, I guess I’ve fully drunk the cool aid

You have the same configuration and order date as me. Authorization on the card today, order page says the same thing as yours.

I have i5/256/16GB, ordered on April 5th.

Yesterday, I went to Preparing to Ship with the credit card auth. Today, it's back to Order Placed, but it says "Your order can’t be changed at this time. If you’d like to make changes to this order, please try again in a few hours." which is weird...

Maybe they're having issues with their site.

I ordered same config on April 1st. Got the same issue.

I wonder if the fact that the CPU, SSD, and RAM are all interchangeable has caused some level of delay due to the different manufacturing runs this requires. If all the i5's had the 512 GB SSD, things would be simpler.
 
Ordered: 3/30
Status changed to preparing to ship: 4/12
Shipped: 4/14
Delivery estimate: 4/20 (two days later than original window of 4/11-4/18) to Japan via DHL

i7/16/1TB/silver

EDIT:
My order hasn’t changed or moved since 4/14. It looks like customs hasn't cleared the package so it's sitting in limbo.
Has anyone in Japan gotten this kind of message?

Woke up this morning with news that it would be delivered today. Typing on it as we speak. If you don't already have yours, I hope you get it soon. It did sit almost all day yesterday with import scan with no movement after 12:38pm. Most of the movement happened overnight, while I slept. Delivered today around 12:00pm or so.

Unfortunately mine has been sitting in Louisville with no real movement since that import scan around the same time as yours, and no update for about 24 hours. Cool.

Lucky guy! Mine is still stuck somewhere in HK, don't know why.
 
What’s the easiest way to wipe a computer before sending back to Apple? I may End up going 512 instead of 256 I have ...
