iPod touch UK Apple Store pre order, shipping changed!!

I ordered my iPod Touch on 5th September around 20-30mins after the store came back online, so I must have been one of the first batch of people to order.
I hear in the US they are shipping pre orders, they are in store in the US and they are starting to be instore in the UK Apple stores (i'm about 2 hours away from a store).
My ipod shipping delivery date was 1st oct, it has now changed to the 5th oct!!
I ordered an 8GB NOT engraved.
Grrrr, has this happended to anyone else?
They seem to treat any customer who isnt American like a 2nd grade customer, and anyone who isnt American and has pre-ordered like...well *****, basically we are bottom of the pile of people to ship to!
On the other hand, they might have FINALLY realised there is a problem with screens and have pushed the delivery back a bit, so we might get good screens...

I was going to ring up Sales Support, but I don't know if there is much point, all I will be told is that it wont come out until 28th and im sure they wont acknowledge the stores selling them.
And I wont get anything out of the call, other than venting my anger, I think I might cancel it and pick one up when they come out in the electrical stores.
