My customized MBA shipped from Vietnam via DHL. But tracking now says it's "on hold" in Vietnam. Is this a customs hold and how long could it last? The MBA was supposed to arrive beginning to mid next week. But now Apple says Friday. And I paid the extra $8 for expedited service.

Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks.

Edit. Now off hold. Hopefully on the way. Can't wait to get it.

What was your original estimated delivery date? I had the same, it was two days on hold in Vietnam before it finally started making its way over.

The original shipping dates were March 25 to 27 with expedited service for $9.
Once it shipped, the "official" arrival date from Apple was now Friday, March 28.
I've never seen this kind of sloppiness from Apple before. It's now off hold and in Hong Kong. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. And when it arrives is a complete mystery.
 
Interesting where these machines all come from. MBP just shipped from Southwest China. Maybe Chengdu?
