Yes, too long a wait until the end of April. I would probably go with my current Apple order shipping 3/20. I also expect that maybe I would get one long before that from ther Apple Store itself. But then who knows.

If our Amazon orders are in fact correct and they do(did) have the product when do you think the "shipping soon" will change? Late today? Tomorrow?

Speaking from past experience, I'd say probably tomorrow morning...but who knows for sure at this rate?! :rolleyes:
 
If your product ships Monday, I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see something until very late Monday night going into Tuesday morning. I had it happen with my Macs from them before. About 3am I'd get shipment notification, but then I would see it actually shipped from them earlier the day before (well a few hours before which was the day before).

Do you know when they charged your credit card? Nothing has shown up on mine yet even though it says "shipping soon"
 
I'm waiting for my A9 discount to kick in again. Once its re-activated Im buying the 2ghz model! Amazon.com is forcing me to upgrade by not having the 1.83ghz model available ;)
 
STILL haven't made it to the "shipping soon" phase [sigh]-anybody else? Or am I the only one still in open order status with a supposed ship date of tomorrow? :confused: :(

I'm in the same situation as you. I reordered mine last night and I just assume nothing was going on Sundays at Amazon and the status will change tomorrow morning.

Fingers crossed!

Usually, when it says "Shipping soon," there is a "hold" placed on your CC to ensure the funds are available. So although the charge won't appear (unless your bank shows pending charges), you should notice your available credit is less.

Mine still says shipping soon. I have to call and see if I have a pending charge, I'll post back if anything changes. I keep hoping I'll have this on Tuesday. Hoping not to be disappointed Again!

No Pending charges yet? I have this glaring hole in my credit that says that I'm somewhat 2500 dollars shorter than before thanks to amazon.com.

Definitely check with your cc company.

Yes, going to try and do that now but Sunday night maybe it will be a problem. I'll post if I find out

OK. I called and it was billed yesterday so I would assume I am finally gonna get this puppy! Although I have not yet received anything from Amazon

Sweet! Good to hear! :D
I can't tell you how good it feels after all the disappointments involved with my orders in late January and early Feb to Apple. The earliest I could get one is March 23rd. So indeed this is good news!!! Thanks!!!! I may need a day off from work Tuesday!!!!!

Good for you...that's great news! :D

I'm still stuck in "not yet shipped" land :(

Called the CC company and so far the only charge they've gotten from Amazon is the one dollar charge they do to establish that you have a valid account (this is regular procedure for Amazon) and that was way early this morning. After the account is validated, then you get charged the full amount of purchase (i.e. "shipping soon" stage). So, hopefully status will be changing soon-it's a bit too close for my comfort zone being that it's supposed to ship tomorrow.

Actually, seeing that the next ship date is March (from Apple) or April (next Amazon ship date estimate), I'll be happy if it just gets delivered this week, period!

Hang in there. It still may charge later tonight. Plenty of time yet before shipping out tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.:)
 
Well, it shipped today (Sunday, no less). Looks like a mid week delivery.

Did anyone who replaced a preorder with a new order get a "shipping soon" or "shipped" message yet? I wonder if it was a mistake of me to change my order yesterday, but it still says it ships tomorrow so time will tell.

That's good to hear. The interesting thing about amazon.com, if you've ever read any of the numerous investigative articles about them; is that they're so large in volume that their DCs all have a purpose built depot for each UPS, Fedex, and the USPS, with sorting facilities on the warehouse.

In other words, the amazon.com distro center IS a UPS sorting facility.

Mine did not ship yet but was next day delivery so may be different. interesting that they have sorting facilities right in their warehouse.

Not yet for me....still, as of just now, "not shipped yet" stage. I had a preorder with a delivery date of 4/5 that I placed on 2/2 and I cancelled that one and re-ordered two nights ago with a delivery date of 2/28 (one day delivery); however, my order status just sat there open while many people posting on this thread who ordered after me were progressing to the next stage of the ordering process.
I started to worry that my order might have gotten hung-up in light of this and so I cancelled the order from two nights ago and re-ordered last night in the wee hours of the am (insomnia attack). Too, I realized that I could get an additional $39.00 off as I had just qualified for the A9 rewards discount. Now I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake as well...am just hoping that things will change over-night as mine is still supposed to ship tomorrow with delivery on Tuesday. Looks like we're two of the only ones with orders lagging behind. Fingers still crossed but I am getting weary of obessively checking my order status!

As of 6AM this morning the shipping soon is still on my order. No tracking or "shipped" info yet. However they did charge my card in full.

Does anyone think it is unusual that I don't have a shipped notice or tracking number yet?

FYI - as of 7:30 AM EST - no CC charge and still in "Not yet shipped".

Will keep you posted (fingers crossed).

Exact same scenario here as of 8:10 am EST...no charge, still in "not yet shipped".

Trying to think positive, but this is all too familiar to me. :rolleyes:

Starting to get a little :mad:

It's one thing if it ships out a day or two late, quite another if the ordering process got botched up yet again, and it sits there for several days-these are in such supply at this point, I just worry that those of us who haven't even progressed to the shipping soon stage, could get passed over. And calling Amazon does little good as most of the CSR's don't even realize that they got a shipment in-I still don't understand why the status is still "not yet released" on their website at this point.

I really love Amazon, most of the time, they are a pleasure to do business with, but they have dropped the ball several times this last year in situations like this.
