AirPods (3rd generation) / Order / Delivery Thread

[PinkyMacGodess]

Ordered mine through Walmart for the Chase Freedom 5% back promo and they aren’t delivering until Thursday, which is fine since it gives time for me to read reviews and cancel if they aren’t good.

Good plan. One never knows these days...

I’ve had my tracking number for a few days. It showed up on my ups app. Delivery for Wednesday 🙂

Mine shows Tuesday and nothing preparing to ship nothing in my ups or by reference

My Apple store app still shows preparing to ship. It probably won’t “ship” until late Monday into Tuesday. My AirPods are in Kentucky now, getting closer to SF!

DPD text to confirm delivery tomorrow. Booked my 1 hr slot. Store still shows preparing to ship, however I’ve had stuff ship at midnight and arrive next day so not sweating at all.

I have now booked my 1 hour delivery slot with DPD. I ordered right after the keynote and it is stilling showing as “preparing to ship” 😁

 

[johnyslats]

Nothing in the DPD app for me. Must mean I’m at the mercy of DHL 😫

 

[MrGimper]

Just got my dispatch notification from Apple.

I pre-ordered these for my wife as a birthday gift and they have just been dispatched (UK order) for delivery tomorrow.

 

[johnyslats]

DHL it is 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[atiffarooq]

Got my despatch notification too. Not DPD so it'll be a lottery as to where they end up tomorrow

 

[AlexJ092]

Not long now 🙌

 

[gtmead09]

Tracking finally showing in ups app.

Edit: also got my confirmation e-mail from Apple.

 

[Simon89]

DHL for me too…

UPS tracking showed up in the app this morning for delivery on Tuesday. Got the email from Apple an hour later. Looks like mine are sitting in Tennessee. I'm anxious about the new fit...the old AirPods have always fit my ears very well, so there's a chance I'll have to return the gen 3 version if they are too different.

 

[metalsiren]

yep email from Apple that it shipped

 

[NARadyk]

Let me know everyone’s thoughts on these as I am on the edge of possibly purchasing some myself.

[slippery-pete]

Not worried, but no shipped email yet.

 

[DblHelix]

Not worried, but no shipped email yet.

Same. Still says tomorrow. Not too important I have other headphones but these will be the best ultra portable ones I will have.

So I canceled my Walmart preorder and ordered with Simply Mac. They had a special this weekend for $20 off and I like not paying retail for stuff. Turns out, they don't expect to ship them until mid to late November.

Ordered last week. Before, it said delivery between Oct 26-28. Now, it has been updated: Oct 29-Nov 2 🙁

 

[Sikh]

As expected apple is shipping these next day air. Got my notification at 6am (et) this morning.

Looking forward to seeing how these fit versus the old design. I’m hoping these fit the same or better and give us better audio since not so much sound will leak naturally. But I do hope that passive ambient sound we had because of the design is still there. I love never having to take either of my pods out when I’m discing, biking, running, etc.

See y’all here tomorrow after everyone receives them and posts first impressions!

I got the shipping e-mail from Apple but strangely the Apple App still shows “Preparing to Ship.” Maybe it will update when the package is picked up.

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

Mine said Oct 26 when I ordered but its now been delayed to Oct 29 to Nov 2 🙁

I pre-ordered them from BestBuy and it shows preparing to ship tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll ship them on time. And some rewards are also welcome. I think I’ll get another AW band with the rewards.
