Anyone preordered a Mac from Amazon before?

They are still showing the release date of the device but no shipping changes hours before release. How do they typically handle shipping of Macs? Was thinking it was a reliable way to get this computer on or near release date but getting cold feet.

We have an order in at both Best Buy and Amazon - don't think we'll hear anything before they ship. At this point no real alternative but to wait or try luck standing in line tomorrow at Apple store or Best Buy.

Didn't know if there was any anecdotal info on whether it's same week, same month, or just some sort of limbo. Didn't know if anyone here had purchased the latest iMac from there, etc and could share a story. But yeah - failing the store tomorrow this is the best option.
