Enter the delivery reference number. Mine left Seoul (ICN) on a Korean Airlines flight to Heathrow today, so should get it delivered in London on Monday! :)

Wow, according to this it says my package arrived Amsterdam on the 16th. Apple said it was shipped on the 15th but need to be merged. How come I still have info from apple about delivery on the 28th? That is a lot of days from Amsterdam to Stockholm (12 to be exact).

Strange thing though. It says I have three items, I only ordered the MBA and a time capsule.
 
Awesome thanks a ton for the link! Mine's on the way from Shanghai to Prague today on a flight right now it seems.

I'm not sure about the number of pieces but it says 2 pieces, which I can only make sense as in that being the MBA plus thunferbolt adapter.

Anyway hope the 'merging' doesn't take too long :)

PS: Didn't see the Events button before on that page, gives even more info on their future steps up to planned delivery. I'm afraid though that my delivery date of 19th as stated there means to the merging fac. in Prague, not a UPS delivery.

Mine was ready for UPS on 16/06, departed Shanghai twice, and on that same 17/06 6:10 flight it made it to Korea. Definitely "In Transit" now. No tracking information on expediters either.

Thanks, but something doesn't seem quite right on that website. According to that I have 2 items (correct, MBA and gift card), but it weighs 272.0K and has a volume of 2.062m^3? That can't be right, surely?
 
I was thinking the same, but it might as well be 2 containers on the flight, since it also quotes the m3 of the cargo.

Then the weight would make more sense.
 
got shipment email on friday night, any tracking info i have doesn't work. carriers name is syncreon technology but i've never heard of them so I have no idea. when i first ordered on tuesday i was told i'd get it between 21-23 june, but when i got the shipping email it said by 25th june so i have no idea.

orderd the 13/8/i5 and its coming to good old yorkshire!

My guess is that's the entire freight pallet/crate.

If you go to the "References" tab you'll see many other reference numbers besides yours. My guess is that's an entire pallet/crate of MBAs on their way to Europe. In my case the pallet/crate is 0.8 cubic meters and weighs in at 163 kg. There seem to be 84 MBAs on the same pallet/crate.
 
My tracking so far. UPS says the package is on-time and will be delivered on monday.

Yesterday, almost exactly 48 hours after ordering, it changed to preparing for delivering. A few hours later it changed to "sent"! With the tracking link i found out that it is on the way from shanghai to prague! Estimated delivery 22nd, but apple says 27th... I hope its going to be the 22nd or maybe a little bit earlier :) with some luck!
 
So mine has according to expo.Expeditors.com been in Amsterdam for almost 36 hours. With this speed it is not so strange anymore that my expected delivery is on June 28th.

"Arrived, not Cleared for Import - #4394977471
SHANGHAI, CHINA TO AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
At Final Destination: 16-Jun-2012 11:45:00 GMT"

Do they not clear things for import during weekends or why is it stuck for 36 hours?

And as I wrote this, the status changed to "ready for delivery". Under events the estimate says delivery on 19th, 9 days in advance of what Apple tells me on their tracking page. I sure hope it is more accurate on www.expo.expeditors.com

:D

Air now touring in Dubai.

Did the same... Made it to Köln actually this time yesterday, but then UPS didn't forward ship it towards the UK, which they could have done last night...

Very disappointed by this super slow service...

Koeln, Germany 17/06/2012 17:18 Arrival Scan
Dubai, United Arab Emirates 17/06/2012 12:56 Departure Scan
17/06/2012 11:00 Arrival Scan

I noticed apple choice of product from UPS was a slow one as well.. Think this was a bad idea by Apple..
 
Hah! Seems my MB Air (13"/128/8) was on the same 6:10 flight out of China as your guys', and it too arrived in Cologne 17:18 yesterday. I am in Berlin, so I am sort of disappointed they didn't move it across country over night. UPS says they will deliver by 20th end of day, I sure hope it's not getting stuck in Cologne for another day. But hey, what can I do?

Same flights here, delivery scheduled for the 25th for me for Helsinki, Finland. Midsummer weekend, not that bothered. :D
 
I'm waiting mine in France!

Here it's what exp.o says :
19-Jun-2012 15:00:00 CEST Requested Delivery Date
17-Jun-2012 20:25:00 CEST Comm Docs Received AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS (AMS)
16-Jun-2012 19:10:00 CEST At Final Destination AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS (AMS)

Has anyone seen this Requested Delivery Date status before? Does that means I'm getting a delivery date tomorrow? If so, maybe it will be here by Thursday or Friday??? :confused:

I have that too. Apple says my delivery should be on June 28. But my requested delivery date is June 21. My guess is this might be the date at which it should arrive at the merging facility where it will be joined with the other items in my order.

That said, the merging facility is in Eindhoven to my knowledge and my MBA will arrive in Amsterdam this evening. So no idea why it would take them 3 days for that short hop. Also no idea why it would then take them a week from the merging facility in Eindhoven to deliver in southern Sweden. My sleeve that shipped separately needed two days for that. :confused:

The info om my shipment exactly the same as yours. I don't know what it means but I hope it means I can have it earlier than my anticipated June 28 delivery. I live5-10 minutes drive from the Swedish UPS hub in Bromma. Amazing if it should take another 10 days to get here.

Let just hope it means we can get early delivery. Perhaps it is what Yawn99 said because me too need products to merge. Do you also need products to merge?
 
Cologne, Germany 17/06/2012 17:47 Arrival Scan

I bet that plane was full of MBA's. Mine is due for today since Aachen is only about 70km from Cologne (UPS says it is on-time and will be delivered today) But the last entry in the tracking-log is the arrival scan in cologne, no mention of my MBA being loaded on to the delivery vehicle. I hope they make it :(

hmm my macbook air was on the same plane, I also live in aachen but my expected arrival is the 20th. if you get it today I hope I will too. :p

but it seems like nothing is happening in cologne, what is taking them so long?
 
Looks like my Air arrived in London last night at 10:30pm. Hopefully it merges today and starts to make its final journey tomorrow.

I wonder if we'll now be able to track our home delivery service courier?
