1-3 weeks or ? Does anyone know the actual time it takes to get one of these Airbooks shipped? They are saying 1-3 weeks but that seems to fluctuate to "Hurry only 1 left in stock"...

If you want to buy from Amazon at $1794, then 1-3 weeks, the "only 1 left in stock" is buying from PowerMax, at $1924.

I have seen it go from pre-order and 1-3 weeks twice to in stock where you could get it delivered next day. I think they are saying 1-3 weeks to be safe as Apple hasn't given them a definite time they will get additional stock. I'd go ahead and order from Amazon as they are by far the least expensive with the rebate and no tax. Also, its easy to return if you buy from Amazon and maybe not so easy from affiliate. I bet it ships within a week if you order now. The other alternative is to come back and check each day to see if it is in stock...it was in stock last weekend for the whole weekend.

Yes Mike you are totally correct---that's what I was trying to say. I went ahead and ordered. Thanks for your insights---I've read your posts and they certainly help a lot. :-)

I talked to an Amazon rep who just confused the issue more. My order still says that the expected delivery date is October 29th. The Amazon rep said that there aren't any in stock and that they won't be shipping today. When I asked him when it WOULD ship, he said that my estimated delivery date was October 29th. When I pointed out that this couldn't possibly be accurate given what he had just said, he responded with, "the time is given to you is accurately calculated by the packaging department.So I assure you that you will get it on time." UPDATE: Sure enough, this morning I got an email saying, "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered..." so, no, they weren't shipping any of these out on Friday. I guess we all just get to wait it out now.

it is now 4pm eastern time and mine stills says not shipped yet so knowing amazon it will say this until the April 12 (my expected arrival date)and then get changed even though it is already obvious it is not getting shipped because they have already updated this site from saying backordered to 1-3 months heaven forbid amazon actually only preorder the amount they are getting and not make false claims, I spoke to them and they stand by the computers saying it is getting mailed out today yet when I asked if they can double check they put me on hold 20 min then hung up

Yeah I know, it's terrible how long it's taking honestly. It's now the 18th, and it still says not yet shipped, since tomorrow is Friday, and they don't do weekend shipping, it'll be 22nd on Monday and it STILL won't be in I'm pretty sure, unless they ship it later tonight and it comes in tomorrow...With the RAM difference and with how long I've been waiting already I'm gonna have to stick with Amazon myself.

It takes 3 to 4 weeks to ship because this laptop doesnt get ordered alot. Just go directly to the Acer site and order it through the manufacturer its the same price and they have them in stock with next day delivery if wanted.

Same thing just happened to me. Amazon gets these in lots, and allows pre-orders until those lots fill up. In fact, Amazon never sees the Wind, it gets shipped directly from the manufacturer to the buyer. So what probably happened was there are more delays and MSI isn't sure when it can start shipping the lot we're in.What's strange is that this close to the expected ship date, we don't know when it will ship. MSI should at least know how long the delay is.I'll be keeping my eye on other sites to see if they're in stock. I wouldn't go with mwave, since they're charging an extra $80, unless you really want it now.I'm curious if anyone has talked to an amazon rep to see if they have any details on the situation.

I ordered my MacBook on May 18. The shipping date shown at check-out was July 21. (Yikes!) But today I checked my "Where's my stuff" and the ship date had changed to May 23. (Whew). Note I did NOT receive an email stating this change. So I'm sure there's a big backup, but they seem to be moving through. I'll post if anything changes.*** EDIT: Nothing shipped as of the 23rd, i #went in to change my shipping address to my home instead of my office, and the est date jumped back to July 22. I'm assuming the May 23 date was a mistake all along. Thaks, Amazon. *** I ordered my MacBook on May 18. The shipping date shown at check-out was July 21. (Yikes!)

Well I talked to amazon plenty of times and every last rep gave me a different answer. The thing is no one is getting a straight answer. I am pissed but I guess I will just have to wait. There is nothing we can do but wait. Oh and Dwight. I was given that date by the second rep i talked to and then it said that on my account before they switched it the third time.

I ordered and got mine in three days. It likely has to do with what is in stock in the U.S. I did not see an up to eight weeks reference when I placed my order.

Shipping time is going to depend on which company it is ordered from. If you look at the right side of Amazon.com, on that product page, you can click on any of the vendors selling the item, to see if it ships within a certain timeframe. Most ground shipments can take anywhere from 5-7 business days.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Amazon do over estimate delivery times and the times can be quite long but usually the date of delivery within the UK is 3 to 5 working days. Kind Regards Amy

If you buy this item from Amazon they will ship it 2day air in 1-3 month. If you need it faster you should buy from a stocking distributor. C2CSAFETY ships within 24 hours.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o) Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication.

Amazon told me the "fulfillment center" nearest to my zip code did not have any of these in stock, so they had to get my order shipped from a different "fullfillment center" not as close to me. (As justifying the May 10th estimate) Ok, so I could see that maybe delaying it a couple days, but if they are truly preparing our orders to be shipped I would expect they should be actually going out by Friday. With "2 day express" on the order, it shouldn't matter where in the country the order is being shipped from, it's up to them to fulfill the 2 day shipping promise.Right?
