AirPods Max Pre-Order / Order / Delivery Thread

[DblHelix]

And still showing preparing to ship for me guess will be 2nd or 3rd for me.

 

[Dominican]

i live next to 5 store but switch from ship to pickup in store ..

Hopefully tomorrow pick it up

 

[jclardy]

I wonder what is the cause of this lackadaisical launch date...do they actually launch tomorrow? I'm in Apr 1-3 boat still. Being Prepared for Shipment by Express Delivery. I'm going on a trip thursday so I was hoping to have them tomorrow, but this seems suspect.

Shipped via UPS. Expected 4/1. (East Coast US)

 

[Allport1954]

Shipped via UPS to Chicago

Not seeing an expected delivery date in the UPS app. The Apple Store app still shows "Preparing to Ship" by Apr 1 - Apr 3 by Standard Delivery

 

[xxray]

Just got my shipping update from UPS while Apple Store still says “preparing to ship.”

Ordered within first 10 min and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

 

[microburst]

Still just preparing to ship here. Nothing appeared in UPS just yet

 

[dillsnufus]

I think it’s coming the 3rd not the 1st. Mine is still preparing for ship and hard to believe it’ll deliver tommorow

 

[AnInanimateCarbonRod]

I'm still in preparing to ship as well. Nothing in UPS My Choice either - although that has been very unreliable for me in actually showing packages. I just received a delivery today that never showed up in My Choice.

Mine is now showing as shipped, with a UPS tracking number. However, the tracking number doesn't work yet, so I guess tomorrow delivery is out. Thursday hopefully.

Mine still says preparing even tho I ordered as soon as preorders went live. Fbs

 

[aohus]

[microburst]

Still stuck in preparing to ship land here as well

I got mine today - Midnight colour from Apple Sydney. Just walked in a purchased them.

One word so far, awesome.

Noise cancelling is better. I haven't tried the other features like live translation.

Now to see the long term and how they hold up compared to older generation.

 

[jclardy]

Thinking about cancelling pre-order and just driving to the Apple Store or maybe Target if they update their stock tracker. I think Express Delivery is delivered directly from the store, but I'm still seeing Apr 1-3 and have a cancel button which is concerning.

 

[transpo1]

Update: Estimated delivery via UPS today btwn 12:45 and 4:45PM. Apple Card has been charged 🙂

Unfortunately, if you’re in the preparing to ship stage, you can’t cancel. Was thinking about it when the in-store option was erroneously showing availability the day before launch, but when you click cancel it just says you can’t.

 

[AnInanimateCarbonRod]

In a surprise turn of events for me, I woke up this morning to see that not only had the tracking number on mine become active, but mine flew from Louisville, KY overnight and are on their way to my local hub with an estimated delivery of this afternoon, so we'll see what happens.

 

[dillsnufus]

According to Apple support, they say mine most likely will ship today. Which I know we’re only talking a couple days but still utter ******** when I ordered within five minutes of pre-order starting seems like they care more about supplying their stores versus the people that actually put money down.

 

[xizdun]

Ordered leisurely on Day 1 of pre-orders on U.S. east coast, still showing “Preparing to Ship” with an estimated “Apr 1 - Apr 3” delivery date. 😒

Also ordered three sets of AirPods Max aramid fiber cases from Latercase that are arriving today.

 

[microburst]

Still no update yet in the Apple app, but it just appeared in UPS. Only label created, no date yet. I’m assuming it will arrive tomorrow given it’s listed as Next Day Air and it’s only one state over

Edit: And just like that it’s listed as shipped on Apple. Still only saying the same multi day estimate, however.

 

[KAF]

Was not planning on ordering but decided last night in bed to get them since I could trade in my old pair at Best Buy for $130. The headband mesh was wearing down to the point it was not comfortable at all. Long story short, ordered them around 11:30pm and they already shipped and should ideally be here tomorrow. Got the blue color to match my new Air. Pretty excited to have the USB-C version for lossless since I had the launch lightning version.

 

[dillsnufus]

Shipped. ETA tommorow

I have the Silver OGs. They work fine but the fabric color is not pristine (I will never get white again) and the bra case is scratched. How do they handle the trade?
For $130, I'd bite but not for $45.

 

[mistymac]

So annoyed. Apple screwed me by waiting forever to charge my card for the preorder, used a virtual card number and it expired day before launch when they FINALLY tried to charge it. Then Best Buy lied about local availability today so I had to switch that order to shipping which claims it will be here tomorrow. UGH. So much for launch day. These are hardly exciting and Apples managed to squash all excitement left for me by fumbling this launch. How hard is it to make sure product lands on shelves on the day you tell us we can buy these???
