I'm guessing Amazon got a shipment in of the base 13" Airs and then promptly ran out again. I ordered on 8/7 and it's never updated from Aug 13-Sep 26 estimated shipping. I got all excited too when people's orders started getting shipped.
well, figured you all might be interested in this.
after my whole debacle, i finally have a computer coming tomorrow, and NO it is not my base 13 macbook air.
last night, i saw a random charge for 1139. apparently, a CSR decided to cancel my orignal order and place one for an 11 inch air, which they quickly fixed. Problem was that they already charged my card and in turn, moved me out of line on the base 13 inch. Therefore, I was looking at a ship date of past OCTOBER 1st.
Needless to say, i was pretty upset.
That all being said, i got a manager on the phone and they quickly took care of me. Based on the manager, they could do nothing to move me back up in line for the 13 inch air. As result, the manager asked if i might be interseted in a different machine, and asked about a macbook pro. Just for the hell of it, i threw out the 15in base pro and asked if i could get that for the same price ($970) as my air.
HE AGREED!!
So, while im definetly a bit upset about not getting a new air, a 15 in pro with quad core i7 was just too good a deal at $970 to pass up.
...and they even just refunded the shipping to get it to me tomorrow
Thank you to Amazon for great CS as always. I think its pretty fair to say i was NOT abusing the system, and that amazon went above and beyond to help me out. Excited for my new machine and thrilled i can finally get to some work!
