Anyone in the UK with apple TV 64gb received shipped status already or not! mine still showing preparing to dispatch. ordered on Monday when it was live.
I ordered mine about 1.30 on Monday (received order confirmation 1.35) and mine is still Preparing for Dispatch.
 
^Thanks, I will.

For those that ordered standard shipping but getting updated delivery dates of tomorrow as a surprise? Are you seeing this tomorrow delivery on the carrier website or on Apple's site? Does anyone have tomorrow from the carrier, but Apple still estimating 2nd-4th?
Nothing from the carrier yet for me. That will be the true test I suppose. Somehow Apple's getting the impression it will deliver tomorrow though.

"UPS My Choice" shows mine as delivering tomorrow, even though the Apple website still shows "Preparing for shipment".

Edit : Order placed 8:40 AM PDT on Monday

Ordered the 32GB on Monday with standard shipping at 9:05am EST (Virginia). It's been showing "preparing for shipment" since Wednesday and I have not received any shipment notifications yet. Looks like the chances of a Friday arrival will be slim - luckily, I work right next to an Apple store and will be picking one up in person.... and returning the online order the day it finally arrives.

I don't understand why Apple announced store availability one day after starting pre orders! Why not wait a day and say "we're accepting pre orders now OR you can pick up in store on Friday. And, first availability is Friday for all." I feel like I can't be the only person who is going to be returning their online order as a result of this miscommunication.

On a bigger note, is it me or has Apple been getting a lot worse at proving clear guidance on launch availability for new products? Just a few months ago, they launched the new 12" macbook and said it would be available on day x. When I showed up to the store on day x, they were like "oh, yeah it's 'available' but you have to order it online because stores won't be carrying inventory for months... oh the wait time is 2-3 weeks for first delivery." If Apple would've just said "only available for online orders with no store availability," that would've made life a lot easier.

The conspiracy theorist in me says that Apple knows that this vagueness will result in more sales - hence why all of their new products don't get definitive launch details until... you know... they launch. With no details about the ipad pro launch, I can only imagine it will be just as messy as the Apple TV launch. Oh well... have fun eating the shipping costs, Apple...
 
8:36pm UK time. My order status just changed to "dispatched" estimated delivery for tomorrow
 
What time did it go on sale in UK? I was expecting 8am (like Apple Watch) but it didn't. I managed to order at 1.30

Yeah i was checking hourly then half hourly. I think it went onside at 1:30 uk time and i bought mine at about 1:45. Or maybe it was 1pm and i bought mine at 1:15
 
Yay! Mine now says Shipped with valid Fed Ex tracking number for Oct 30 delivery by 10:30 am.

:)

Now we do the dance of joy!

Sorry for those that don't have Shipped status yet. Maybe yours will be next.

P.S. Text came in as I was typing this post confirming Oct 30 delivery. Still feel I spent the extra $19 for no reason. But live and learn.

I've seen this before. If you call Apple they can give you the tracking number.

Mine is still saying they can't locate the tracking number in the email that Apple sent. Is this normal? Just not live in the system yet? Or an issue?
