yea, exactly what i didnt want to hear, but i guess it's true
Why not just contact them and ask for an update. Damage is already done with whatever you did to get your account flagged.
Calling them now isn't going to change a thing either way.
Got a tip for us?

Sweet Niblets!
Two days ago, I got an email from Amazon telling me to expect my 13/256 in late Sept or early Oct. Just now received an email saying that it has shipped!
I ordered on 8/8 around 3pm in the afternoon.

UPS said mine was out for delivery then Amazon gave me a scare when I just got this email:

I have to eat my words.
I received my air - and of course there's an issue. A small scratch and a couple of pits.
I may just have to live with it, I can't take the bs any more.
It's small but the issue is overall the quality control just sucks lately.
For those interested I got the toshiba crave and samsung display. If anything was samsung I would have preferred the hdd.
Awesome there is also chassis flex unlike what I had in the other one.
next up, speaker test...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
On wed, my status on my 8/6 order changed to "Shipping Soon". As of now, it still says that. Also, my cc has not been either authorized or charged and. My delivery estimate has not changed (8/31-9/20).
Status changed to Shipping Soon! And credit card was charged! *Fingers crossed* that it Ships today!
My experience with Amazon has always been exceptionally great.
Shipping soon is not something I've seen too often on the many orders I place.
In fact it only happened twice and in both cases, it shipped the next day.

Only reason i was was worried is because my account is under investigation. But good to know.
Got it... Its amazing! Samsung SSD, LG Panel. Thanks again to thread starter, peace.
Well this sucks, 3 dead pixels, Toshiba SSD and strong light bleed. Sent back for a replacement..
I was just wondering about this. Can you send back for a replacement or just return and lose you promo code?
It's funny that you mention that it looks washed out. I had a 2010 MBA that I felt the same way about (I don't know the manufacturer of that sceen).
Fast forward to this week when I received my LG screen'ed MBA. I have no complaints about the color gamut...
Now don't use any more coupon codes for a while! Pay full price for a few things. Got it?
Received following email just now. Hope my order doesn't get canceled

IMHO, you asked for it from Amazon and I'm dismayed they didn't permanently ban you yet.
Thanks to the OP!
As I type on my new 13/4/128 MBA, I'd like to thank the OP for pointing out this excellent deal. Thanks also to Amazon for delivering and being mostly patient with us.
As a migrator from the 1st Gen MBA to this latest MBA, I can say that this is definitely a worthwhile upgrade! Woohoo!!!

I ordered my 13/4/128 on 8/5/11 and received it today =)
I received shipping confirmation from Amazon last night so it was virtually an overnight delivery even though it was Prime.
I got the worst bunch though:
LG panel
Toshiba SSD....*sigh*
Thinking if I can go to Apple Store to get an exchange. Not sure how I'm gonna pull this one off though =/

Replacement for defective
With Amazon means they send you a new now without charging you for it but will if you do not return the defective one. Getting them to do this takes some persistence but they will do it.

why bother, I'm sure it doesn't make a difference. My samsung screen is nothing to write home about and there is no way your are going to tell the difference between the two ssd's
I disagree. Looking at the samsung I got this time I do prefer it colorwise. The SSD is noticeable when dumping memory cards.
That said I'd be fine with this combo if there weren't small imperfections on the lid. I'm deciding if I want to wait more and since I have to pay return shipping if it's worth the bother.
