This is true, but from the standpoint of having seen deliveries jump significantly over the last several hours...it's a bit surprising. I'd expected that my order would ship tomorrow (since orders within 30 minutes of mine are already preparing for shipment) but now it's going to be a week away, at best.
I don't know if this is just an automatic "anyone we haven't shipped yet gets this status change" thing, or if they've drawn a line in the sand and said "anyone at T+4 hours or later has to wait another week, while we build up stock for the stores." Or something like that.
Yes, it's still within the schedule promised, but it's frustrating in that I was --> <-- this close to seeing it ship.
(I'm hoping it's just an automatic, blanket status change, and those of us near the currently shipping orders still ship in the next day or so).
