Macbook Air 2012 Order Status thread

GizmoDVD said:
FYI -

Anyone who ordered with the 'Back to School' $100 iTunes Giftcard check your accounts! I was charged the $100 when it was supposed to be 'free'. After speaking with Apple they credited me back the $100. I first thought it was a temporary account hold, but it stuck and posted on my account. Hopefully this might help at others who might otherwise be unaware.

They will automatically credit you $100 off of the laptop in a few days according to the rep i talked to. I dont even have the $100 card, i removed it because it wouldnt let me place the order. I need to talk to them to have it added on

Based on my package's progress, "in transit" could mean anything from it sitting in a building to being on a plane.

Well, mine was stuck waiting for customs clearance about 20km from my house. Then, after it looked like I was not going to receive it today after all, the status was updated to show it out for delivery. Unfortunately, my girlfriend's Air didn't make it out, for whatever reason. Odd, since they have been together the whole way until now. She works at the receiving department for a local store and spoke with the Fedex driver when he arrived. He told her my package was on the truck, but not hers.

So they will post a $100 credit to my account? I've been charged for all three items I ordered, full price (Air, $100 iTunes Card, iPad Smart case).

Guess we'll see.

Yeah, she told me they have to charge for the gift card for tax purposes or something, and that they will remove $100 off of the macbook.

But that isn't a taxable item (in California at least).

She told me it was an error in the 'back end' department. No idea what that means.
 
Ordered Tuesday 0500 - 11/1.7/64/8gb - Hong Kong
Delayed by 5 days
Should I call and complain, and hopefully get some sort of gift?

What does the status "In Transit" mean?

If the tracking status of your shipment is “In Transit”, it means that your package is on its way to its final destination. It does not necessarily mean that your package is in a moving vehicle such as an aircraft of truck, it may be at a FedEx facility.

so it could be out for delivery or just sitting there... great.
 
I took the information from one of the FedEx screen shots and came up with the following;

Shipment information sent to FedEx until Departure from Shanghai - 9:47
Travel Time Shanghai to Anchorage, AK - 9:00
Time in Anchorage - 3:41
Travel Time to Memphis - 7:00
 
Country: Canada

13"/128/8

Ordered late afternoon of Jun 13th
Shipped morning of Jun 15th
ETA by noon of Jun 20th :D

What's interesting is they charged HST on the subtotal after deducting the promotional $100 that they had charged my card the day before. Saved me $12!

I am now typing on my new MacBook Air. I didn't previously notice that the screen has an anti-reflective coating. There are still reflections, but not nearly as bad as with my 2008 MacBook. It's also not as light as I expected. It feels about a third lighter than my MacBook. I am appreciating the SSD (which happens to be a Toshiba module). Everything loads much more quickly.

Another thing I immediately noticed is that the power supply is smaller than before. The "brick" is about 25% smaller.

Now to migrate my data over and abandon this thread. ;)
 
I'm stuck on In Transit after Alaska like many of you:

does someone mind calling and telling them a bunch of packages are in transit from alaska, and ask what's going on?
 
Received mine yesterday (a day early!)

Ordered: June 11, approx 11:29 PM EST
Shipped: June 13 (Shanghai, CN)
Received: June 14 (Westlake, OH)

Too bad I'm still waiting on my 8GB replacement... that's being shipped directly to Apple Store, ETA 06/23. Nice so far though!
 
Ordered mine on the 11th. Shipped on the 12th and arrived on the 13th. I am really impressed by fedex. Estimated for delivery on the 14th but came a day early. I had it held for pickup so maybe that's why it came early.
 
3 days early!

So I got it!

My top-of-the line-fully-decked-out-BTO-Beast just arrived 3 days early! Originally estimated to arrive on June 18, it arrived this morning on June 15. WOW totally impressed. I'm transferring her brain now through Time Machine. :cool:
 
Meh. Some others that were on the same plane as me already got theirs, but mine is still showing as in transit from Alaska. I was hoping that it was just that they were being too lazy to scan a mass of MBA boxes, but FedEx just stopped by with my Amazon order (USB 3.0 external HDD for the MBA), and no MBA :( Didn't bother asking the delivery guy about it -- figured they wouldn't know anything about that. Oh well, Monday it is, I guess.
