A rather circuitous journey has brought it much of the way to me.

27/4 1430: EPZ, China
29/4 0100: Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong
30/4 1553: Dubai
30/4 2305: Köln (Cologne), Germany

Hopefully one more hop to England tomorrow. UPS predicted delivery time is still Tuesday 5 May.

Hmm. Mine has the same predicted delivery time (in the UK). Left EPZ a day after yours and arrived in Hong Kong a day behind too. Following tracking shared from others here I thought it might be loaded onto a flight to Dubai in the early hours of the morning (UK time) but it’s still in Hong Kong! Still hoping it arrives on the 5th but interesting that it is way behind yours with the same scheduled delivery date!

Hi all,
I ordered on the 21st of April my MBA (i7 / 16GB / 256GB). Since 27th of April it says in DHL Express tracking „shipment information received“. But today it is the 5th day without any progress. Apple says estimated delivery on the 8th of May. Let’s see 🙄

Mine too, it’s been on hold at Hong Kong since Saturday 04/29 (04/30 1:08am HKT) and it hasn’t moved yet since. Still there and scheduled on Tues. 05/05 in France.
As a reminder, in Germany, 1st May is a holiday day, and there’s no UPS service on this day according to UPS DE website, same as France, so, i think that my MacBook Air should show his face Monday since there’s no flights from Hong Kong to Koeln on Saturday. So Sunday, our packages should fly over Dubai then Koeln and delivered next business day so Monday...

That’s reassuring - thanks for sharing! Sounds like our MBAs are on the same pallet...

I got from someone on Twitter showed me his Tracking Status of his MacBook Air that he received a week prior us.
Like it’s been on hold at Hong Kong for two days then, I assume that during Next Saturday-Sunday night on our time, the package will ship between 11-12am HKT time so 5-6am here in France, then on Sunday afternoon at 2pm, the package will arrive at Dubai, then Koeln at 11pm, and during the night of Sunday to Monday, the package will go to destination countries and the same day would be delivered.

That’s very helpful indeed-thank you very much!

I do wonder if the cause of this is different flight destinations from Cologne to different parts of the UK. Example if mine is flying into Birmingham / East Midlands / Manchester, a hub with fewer flights from Cologne than yours to a London airport?

Mine's left Cologne this morning, so theory to be proved or disproved at some point today I expect.

Whenever I get one of these deliveries, I'm a bit in awe of the logistics business and just how slick an operation it has to be to function.

Me too! I find the logistics processes fascinating, which is why I enjoy tracking deliveries so much. My wife thinks there’s something wrong with me though. (She’s probably right!)
 
I’m with you on that. I think UPS logistics are supposed to be the best in the world. It’s amazing how they can time everything perfectly.

My husband thinks I’m a bit nuts too with this so I choose not to tell him I track these things multiple times a day when I do (although nothing to track right now because my shipment hasn’t gone past processing).
 
this may not be the appropriate section, was wondering if u could give me some advice.
using a 2014 mac mini, have been using a external ssd for OS so it has increased the speed greatly. also have a 12.9 ipad pro 3rd gen.

would u advice me to get a 2020 mac mini i5 model or a 2020 mba i5 model?
or totally dun get anything since mac mini still working?

thanks.
 
Hi all,

I ordered on 19.04. Got the DHL 'shipment information received' on 28.04 and no updates since then. It's very frustrating not to know where my MBA is.
Patience...patience.

BTW. I don't wanna even know how many times per day I check the DHL web for any updates. (definitely too many)
 
My order should have been delivered yesterday (Apr 29) according to the UPS website. However it's delayed since last night's update. The most recent tracking shows that it's just few miles from my home, and yet I cannot get it, which I assume, even today. I went to the indicated UPS warehouse earlier today, and was told that it was shipped for delivery from there last night, and I can do nothing but wait.
Also checking from the UPS website, it says due to the COVID-19 situation, the UPS Standard (which is my parcel's shipping category) might delay for 2 days. I understand this is a difficult time for shipping services so I cannot complain too much. Just lacking patience a little, and hope it'll deliver to me soon.
I also hope everyone here gets their MacBook Air soon!

Did you get any idea of when your delivery is?

Theory disproved. :) It's now in Stanford le Hope, Essex. Based on timings I suspect it came via road and boat/train rather than plane.

Great! Do you have the UPS app? The date may change to Monday but really who knows during these times.

Meanwhile mine is still stuck on processing! (Although card got charged yesterday).

And of course I’m not checking a million times a day...

Hopefully we will have some progress soon. I can’t wait anymore. And not having any status is really worse. My last MBA which I had to send back a few days ago was delivered with UPS and there was at least a status where my MBA is.

It’s the same here. Even when I’m waking up at night I’m checking the status.

I'm just re-loading the pinned tab on my browser in attention gaps while working from home. :)

Secretly I'm hoping for an upgrade to Monday too, but my main concern is having it time for the long VE Day weekend.

I’m jealous. I remember you ordered the same config on the same day, but a different color. My card hasn’t been charged yet.

Nothing to be jealous about - You and me are still just on “processing”. In the U.K. there is a holiday on the 8th as well making it super unlikely that I’ll get anything next week.

Curious if anybody received their new MBA 2020 in Canada yet? I ordered mine with config i5/16/256 on April 24 and it moved to Preparing to ship today and the transaction on credit card also happened today morning. The estimated delivery date is still 13 May - 21 May which was provided originally.

Me in Toronto!
i5/8/512 on Apr 18. Charged and prepared to ship on Apr 24 and shipped on 27 with UPS. It arrived at the warehouse just few miles from me on 28, but it keeps delayed until now... So I still haven't got the parcel yet.
And the funny thing is that when I went to the warehouse myself, trying to get the parcel, the staff there said it's with the driver "out for delivery". And I still haven't received it yet! I start to panic and imagine the driver stole my MBA lol. I mean.. looking at the UPS warehouse's 1.6 star Google reviews (1000+ reviews), it's really hard not to think on that!
I hope your shipping is smoother than me though!

That's crazy.. did they gave you any update as to why the package is being delayed? I read in the forum that UPS is slammed right now with back orders.

On 28 and 29 they put an "An emergency situation or severe weather condition has delayed delivery" for twice. I assume they will do it again today. I understand this COVID-19 situation is hard, but it's still funny when you know the driver keeps it on the truck but doesn't send it.
 
Hello!
Ordered my 1st MBA i7/8/512 on 4/21.
Pending charge: 5/1
Delivery window to CA: 5/7-5/14
Anxiously waiting.
 
Greetings,

Ordered my base MBA with the $50 off Bestbuy promo. Now on my second day with FedEx stating out for delivery. With the whole Covid-19 lockdown in NYC metro it must be a busy time so although frustrating I can wait.
 
Hello!

I ordered my CTO MacBook Air on 26/04 and mine is still processing.
They anticipate mine will arrive between May 15-21.
Hopefully sooner as Apple have taken the payment yesterday which, from experience, only gets taken when its been shipped or shipping process. hope to have an update soon!
