It still says February on the store. My guess is they started shipping pre-orders and as February is two days away, it will be shipping this week if or next if you order now.
 
I saw someone with a ship date of Feb. 24. I wouldn't be surprised, businesses always say "shipping in ___" and then they don't ship till practically the last day of the month. Clever.

Only problem is they say Shipping Now in the corner of the ad...no in Feb
 
Online store has changed from Feb to 3-4 weeks. Interesting wordplay given 3-4 weeks is STILL February.

3-4 weeks is basically the end of February! I guess we'll have to see who starts getting their Airport Extemes.

I'm guessing that they have started shipping pre-orders and with the volume of them anyone who orders now is looking at 3-4 weeks and even some people who ordered after the annoucement but not until a week or ten days ago might still be waiting till the 3rd week of February.
 
So what should be the fastest way of getting one? Ordering on-line or in person at a brick-and-mortar apple store?
 
Mine is still ship on Feb 28, arrive on Mar 2 (same as it has always been since they opened pre-orders)

Just got an email saying ship on or before feb 14...woot!
 
I got a similar mail today from the australian store

I haven't received any emails yet from the U.S. store regarding my order, but I did notice that the ship time has changed from February to "2-3 weeks".
 
Shipment on February 14th

I live in Tokyo, Japan and I got a message today from Apple saying that my AIRPORT EXTREME will be shipping on Feb 14th (delivery Feb 16th)...
