Little confused - it seemed people didn't opt for it, but got it anyway - overnight via fedex. Isn't that what was posted earlier in this thread?

I ordered within a few minutes of the pre-order going live. They shipped this past Thursday, late in the day via UPS, for two day delivery, but didn't make it here till today, Monday. The only odd thing was they shipped out of Louisville , KY then went to South Carolina (???), then back to Memphis, TN. Went from there out here, to California...

I was one of those...Didn't even think of expedited shipping...took standard. But they shipped out via UPS for two day delivery...They didn't ship out until late in the day, this past Thursday. Just received them today, and my packaging shows two day delivery...Just as an FYI, I believe Fed-Ex will deliver on Saturdays, but not UPS...So that's why I didn't get them until today...
Here is what I could gather from this thread. Appears they are only loosely going in order. Not sure how or if expedited shipping may play into it. Feel free to copy/paste & add your data if it will help.

Agreed. I have basic shipping & live near LA. Not sure if they use any geo data as they release batches or not.
I think you may be missing someone. Lol
5k walk with them today after work and they’re awesome. The fit is spot on and the sound is incredible! I hit refresh until the preorders went live and ordered on the spot! I couldn’t imagine having to wait any longer than today. Good luck everyone!
Not to pile on for those still waiting, but I don't think you will be disappointed once you do get them...Took them out for a spin on a hike, off road for about two hours after getting them today. At first, I was a little disappointed because the volume and sound seemed average...but I was listening to an audio book. Switched to one of my music workout playlists, and man, these shine! Nice bass but somewhat toned back from the Beats bass heavy traditional sound. Bass is tight and not overwhelming. I'm no audiophile but compared to my Jaybird Run's, these blow them out of the water...
Another nice benefit...no audio drop outs at all...no matter where my phone was. With the Jaybirds, I would get a few, depending on where the phone was or if my body was blocking the line of sight connection. Takes a little getting used to putting them on because of the hook design...Reminds me of putting on my old plantronics headset. But after a few tries, I can get them on pretty pretty fast now.
I also did a test with a friend...called them on the Powerbeats, then mid call, switched to my Airpods 2's....They said no difference at all.

I ordered last week and I am being quoted June 5th to June 12th. I doubt I'll get them much earlier, but here is hoping for maybe a week or so.....
You will, they are opening pre orders in different countries meaning their production is ramping up significantly. I order today and got same dates. I bet we get soonish.
Can confirm, I'm using the Beats X specific sport pro Comply tips with no issues. They also fit into the charging case, when you charge...
