Ordered last night at like 10PM eastern. Mine shipped out today. Fed ex will deliver it tomorrow. Can't wait.

However, it seems like it depends on which model you ordered. If you order 1.4GHz/4GB/64GB SSD model, then you are in for a longer wait. That model is the most popular one.

Yeah, but I'd like to think I was one of the first to order (6:50 PM central), and it's been in "prepared for shipment" since last night around 9 PM central. I'm guessing Fedex just hasn't gotten around to picking it up from the warehouse yet... Hopefully it'll ship by tomorrow and arrive by Saturday latest (I wanna play with it this weekend!)

Can't wait for mine.
Mine arrives tomorrow.
 
I ordered mines over the phone. I had to use different credit cards.

Those damn Apple employees! Sounds like the online employees are as clueless as the in store ones. Sorry they didn't give you the correct shipping options. Hope you get it soon!
 
1 Day

Ordered 2/7 in the AM, received it 2/8 at 5 PM. I order the 2 GB RAM/64 GB HD/ 1.4 GHz. I used it for a day, had a kernel panic screen and it shut down on me sporadically twice. Just running my computer per usual I got the fans full blast and had no ram. Called to return it via courier and get refunded. Just going to go to the store and buy a 1.4 GHz/64/4 GB ram.

That doesn't sound too good.. I'm sorry you got a dud. I hope mine turns out to be ok.

Thanks Peter if everything goes to plan I should have it tomorrow:) I cant wait its seems like this week is draging by sloooooow.
 
How are you guys getting overnight and two day shipping? i order my refurb on Feb 4th and was told I would get it until the 11th about 7 days later... I asked about overnight shipping and he said it wouldnt make sence to get because it stays at the factory (or where ever it is) to have test ran on it first before shipping...

When I purchased mine the shipping said 3-5 business days, but it arrived in 3 business days. I've always been lucky with Apple shipping me things faster than they estimate.
 
I ordered mine Saturday 2/5 and it arrived on Monday. I got a free upgrade to next-day air, which was neat.
 
Out of interest, where do the shipments of refurbs come from? Is it domestic or from China?

I'm based in the UK and ordered a 11.6"/4GB/128GB/1.6ghz last night and it's showing as 6 days shipping - that makes me think it's coming from somewhere other than Ireland (I presume that as it's the European base, stock goes from there)?

Any ideas/experiences?
 
Mine came from LEWISBERRY, PA, USA

Yeah mines is coming from the same place. Im in California. Ordered it last Friday still not here. The UPS tracking number does seem to update at all. Its still says Departure scan for a statues. Hopefully I'll get it today.

Try calling UPS and getting a real person. Sometimes they have more accurate info.

Just talked to UPS. They said because of the weather conditions they have no idea when Im going to get my package. Its already been 7 days. The thing about it is UPS doesn't deliver on weekends and I'll be at work all next week, plus you need to have someone sign for it.
So basically I wont have my MBA for at least two weeks. This is crazy:(
 
my question is, when does apple update their site? they seem to be out of MBA ultimate in 13in

While I was waiting for a 4 GB base model to show up, I was checking every hour for 2 days. I'd JUST missed it (disappeared from my cart while I was logging in) the last time it was in the refurb store. I then caught it 2 days later and ordered without hesitation.

However, I am still waiting on the notebook to get here. Fedex is saying delivery for tomorrow, but my university mailroom is only open till 1. If it gets here after that, I won't get it until Tuesday :( (Fedex Home Delivery doesn't do Mondays). I might have to investigate picking it up at the Fedex location on Monday then..

thanks bro

another problem i just realized was how much tax us californians have to pay. 9.5% on top of 1529$ laptop. sucks!

In that case you might be better off buying from Amazon or other online retailer and avoiding the tax...
