yup, same with mine. I have never pre-ordered before. So far very disappointed.
Got a tip for us?

After placing my order, I called Apple and they upgraded me to overnight shipping for free... though I would have liked to get my Best Buy reward points.
Anyways it's shipped
Mine looks like it's no longer cancelable, so ... SOME movement? I still don't know if I'm getting this anytime between today and Monday...
This really sucks as to why they want us to pre order early and then bring it in store even before pre orders are full filled...
I used a gift card as well as my own credit card to make the pre order. Now planning to pick it up in store tomorrow. Also, my pre order status says - Preparing For Shipment. If I get the preordered Apple TV say next week, can I return it in store and get the money back on my gift card and credit card or every thing goes back to my credit card? Would help if someone can clarify!

Haha the way they talked about the Watch sounded like their lives depended on their pre-orders being marked as shipped
Not to be harsh, but an easy Google search (like I just did) would've retrieved the info you were looking for. Here's the direct link. http://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund
According to the return policy from Apple you can return an item purchased from Apple to any Apple retail store. You will be refunded with the same method of payment you used to make the purchase. If the purchase was with an Apple gift card you will be refunded with a gift card. You cannot chose the method of refund.

That was nice of them to do that
. I'm excited for the both of us 
!!
Think I'll wait and see how this aTV direction matures ... I have an Xbox One to satisfy my gaming and Plex requirements.
Mine is still PFS. Had I known I could just walk into an Apple or Best Buy store today and get one I wouldn't have ordered online on Monday.
mine as of this am was still in processing even though I ordered Monday am with overnight shipping . I went into 5th Ave Apple Store early this am and bought one off the shelf no line . they said they had a ton of them .
When customer service opens in 15 minutes I'm calling and cancelling, getting my 17 dollars in shipping back, going to Best Buy after work and getting it there. It feels the last two new releases that weren't iPhone really screwed the apple fans who preorder
Update: I called and they refunded my shipping so I could go get one today and then return the one that gets sent to me without any cost!

My local store has them in stock so I called Apple to cancel. The lady on the phone said if they can't stop the shipment I can return it at the store. She made it sound like they didn't know the device would be in stores today so I'll bet I'm not the first person to call.
Thank god I pre-ordered! Would have been pissed if it arrived on the release date!
Yeah, course you will.
If Amazon have exclusive shows that you want, you’ll keep it.
got the text from Best Buy to my apple watch yesterday evening....pleasant surprise knowing I can leave work and snag it today and it'll be waiting for me
What, you mean by delivering it when they said they would? I knew mine was coming early November when I ordered it online Monday. I don't see how you can complain just because it will arrive in store before that date, not Apples fault, not your/my "fault".
It's also called, "Childish Impatience!"
I was kind of bummed myself when they said in store orders would take place today. But even through I have 3 Apple stores not far from me. I really don't have time to go to one. And I really don't know if Apple over or undershipped to their stores. No one knows if they will have enough initial supply. My ATV being dropped off on my doorstep is way better.
My order says "On Vehicle for Delivery Today"! I can't wait!
Not my Apple TV order. That still says "Preparing for Shipment".
But, my CTO 27" iMac will be in my hands by the end of the day, so I'm not sweating the status of my Apple TV.

A tad annoying. Mine finally says it's preparing to ship. I'll get it sometime late next week.
