Canada customs held mine up in Mississauga (main port for FedEx in Canada) and released it, but not before it missed the plane it was supposed to be on. Unfortunately that pushes back my delivery a day. Hopefully it squeezes itself in sometime tomorrow but Wednesday is looking more likely. Finally!
The 100 USD price drop is for everyone. Edu pricing will give you further discount and you also get the gift card
Just to update my 2012 11" Air 2.0GHz i7, 8GB, 256GB destined to replace my 2010 11" Air arrived yesterday, one day early from Fedex estimate!!
I purchased in order to improve 1:1 preview generation time in LR and Aperture because I use it when travelling overseas to manage my photography hobby/addiction! So far initial testing is great, major improvement over the 2010 Ultimate. Actually this thing is faster than my late 2009 i7 iMac which is my workhorse at home. That workhorse is soon to be replaced by the Retina MBP. Well actually it is going to be turned into a display for the new RMBP! I'm excited to see how much faster the RMBP will be if this tiny Air already has made a significant improvement over what I've been using.

Estimated delivery for 6/22-6/26. I'm really hoping for Fri 6/22.
13"/i7/8GB/256GB
How long have most of your orders stayed in the processing phase before shipping?
I got expedited shipping but I'm thinking it won't make much of a difference. Anyone else get expedited shipping? Is it a two day delivery from China, or three day?
Thanks

Ordered the same model on Saturday afternoon, and it just switched to "preparing for shipment" so hopefully yours will too soon.
it seems like it has been all over the board. I ordered late on thursday the 14th and it was delivered on monday the 18th.
Just took delivery of my new MBA. It arrived a day early!
Country: Canada
13"/128/8
Ordered late afternoon of Jun 13th
Shipped morning of Jun 15th
ETA by noon of Jun 20th
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 upgraded the ram. It was a 13" i5/8/128. I ended up buying an 11" in store though and returning the 13.
let's all hope we get the Samsung screen! cause there are threads out there that LG panels and Samsung panels are still used for the 2012 ones!

There's nothing wrong with LG screens. Quit being picky.
yes i did.. did you check your order on the apple website? The fedex man came early this morning.. this computer is beautiful and i haven't used the gift card yet.. can't wait to start writing up here.. (learning the multi-touch gestures is fun!!
)I ordered on the afternoon of the 12th.
FedEx estimates that it'll be delivered by Wednesday 6pm.
The tracking page claims that it left Memphis at 8pm yesterday but it's 5pm of the next day and no change
I'm getting it shipped to Ontario, Canada. Anyone familiar with the routes FedEx takes for Canada and why it would say it departed memphis yesterday but nearly 24 hours have gone by without change? Thanks.
It came today!!!
really awesome device! Getting it all setup with the apps I want. From the afternoon of the 12th until the afternoon of the 19th.
Was quoted from the 21-26

Originally quoted June 22-25 by Apple and June 21 by FedEx, it arrived today (the 19th) and would have been earlier if it hadn't been delayed by customs. Well, I love it. I still can't believe how powerful such a small device can be. I'm in love. I'm a PC user so I have no clue wtf I'm doing at all but hey, learning can be fun.
New MBA shipping times
Hi,
I have a question regarding shipping times for new MBAs released a week ago.
I ordered high-end 13in with 8GB of memory through my university computer store and I was told it's gonna be couple weeks before it's here. When I placed the exact same order on apple web site it said "Ships in 1-3 business days". However, according to the sales guy it's false since it takes couple days for apple to process the order, send it to factory, have it built, and finally ship it.
I am gonna be leaving early next week and I was hoping to have my new computer with me, since my old one is on its last leg.
Is it unreasonable to expect it here early next week since it was ordered on Friday (maybe Monday - yesterday)? Btw, I am not sure what kind of shipping they typically use for apple stuff.
Cheers, R>
PS. In case you are wondering why I ordered through computer store ... it's easier to have it paid for using university money ...

Mine is ordered at this point - 13" with an i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and the 256GB SSD. I'll be out of town on a business trip through next Wednesday - it should be delivered shortly after I return.
Edit - the order took 2 days to go from processing to preparing for shipment
Edit take 2 - it looks like the 20th is delivery day, but since I won't return home until very late that night at the earliest, Fedex will have to redeliver the next day (when I will be working from home
I saw that it had arrived in Oakland early on the morning of the 18th so I had FedEx hold it at their local facility for me to pick it up. They called me Monday to let me know it was available for pickup, but I had already arrived in Fort Worth for the first of 2 days of meetings (rescheduled from 3 days). I'm back home again so I'll run over to FedEx and pick it up tomorrow.
Had I known Apple was going to beat their best case fulfillment estimate by 2 days I would have ordered it on launch day as the odds would have been decent that it would have been delivered in advance of my trip.
