Delivery delays COVID-19

Hi guys,


I recently ordered a Macbook Air and headphones on the 16th of March.

The headphones have been processed and shipped but the Macbook Air hasn't even been processed yet. The original estimated delivery date was 24th/25th. The original date has now been pushed back 6-7 days. I understand that in the current climate delays are to be expected however I need the Macbook for work and uni so I was wondering if anyone knows how long shipping is actually taking at the moment?

Also for clarity, I am located in Sydney.


Thanks!

MacBook

I think that's what it said for me when the green bar was at 'Processing'. Now that the green bar is at 'Preparing to Ship', the description for me says "We’re getting ready to ship your order. We’ll email you the delivery information once it ships."


But if that message is an update on what you saw before I'd say it's definitely a promising sign? Could be moving to the Preparing to Ship phase very soon

Yes there was hardly any fan noise, I actually don't think there's any at all. It really doesn't I mean, this morning when I was downloading ALL my pictures and videos (some of these were like 5 minutes long), it didn't overheat and it didn't have excess fan noise. I was also downloading the apps I wanted while these pictures were downloading + ALL while listening to Spotify. So I mean, I'm not sure why there are so many complaints about it. I know it's way better to use Safari than Chrome because Chrome is not the best browser on a Mac. I mean it really just depends on your usage and all in the end :)
