Hope mine is following closely behind!
What tracking info do you have with UK Mail? Wonder if it'll use the order reference.
Thats fun to hear from those of us that ordered at the opening bell of the preorder and have heard squat. #17dollarswasted #itmustbemystupidtaxfortheyear
Hope mine is following closely behind!
There's both delivery number and tracking number. None of them live yet! It's written estimate delivery by tomorrow!
Order confirmation at 14.27 Monday. Delivery by DPD and tracking information is live.
Fingers crossed for me then as that is after mine.... Preparing for Dispatch still showing on my order.
Just got shipping for tomorrow fedex delivery from Ingram Micro (an Apple partner). 64GB with overnight shipping.
Still preparing for shipment, probably won't get it tomorrow Hopefully Saturday though! I also got next day shipping and I ordered at around 7:30 pacific time.(64GB)

Interesting status here. Ordered two 64s with normal shipping about 30 minutes after the market opened Monday (as it were) and both are PFS (still).
BUT: I'm signed up for FedEx text messages, and at 9:30 am today, I got a text saying shipment xxxx was picked up, scheduled for delivery 11/3 (which is in the range of delivery dates, of course).
And the interesting thing is the last time I had a shipment like this (standard shipment Apple Watch band), it came two days earlier than the 'scheduled to be delivered on' date. Not like UPS and DHL where it's slowed down to be sure not to get there earlier, lol.
So, perhaps they will still be here tomorrow? Monday at the latest? (The other weird thing is that when I try to track the number on the FedEx site, it just spins.)

Arg... ETA never mind, lol. Tracking just came up and it's window blinds from blinds.com!
So, why are so many orders that were in first thing Monday not moving? Can we return mail ordered units to a store if we purchase other units in an Apple Store?

I think it is fairly obvious that the order status that is being given by Apple is completely random and without logic or reason. What we're seeing may be pure "noise" and in fact may be completely useless as a means to try and predict when our Apple TVs will arrive.
I think we're just going to have to wait and see when it finally shows up on our doorsteps. For those of us who ordered early that could be Friday, or Saturday, or early next week.
The only real problem is that the packages may require a signature for delivery and without knowing when they will show up (not even on which day) that could make things a little difficult to arrange.

So here i am eating crow. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow.
Just got that in the last 5 minutes, ran over here to apologize for my pissyness....
I ordered on Monday morning with next day shipping, was starting to get worried it wasn't going to come by this weekend, but I just got an e-mail @ 4:10PM PST saying scheduled delivery is tomorrow. Package has not yet been received by UPS. Can't wait!
Ordered my Apple TV the morning of the first day to preorder and recently got notifications that I will have it by tomorrow morning. I'm in Phoenix, AZ.
You will get yours soon, hopefully tomorrow. Go Hawks!!!!
I ordered same 64GB and at 7:30. I am in LA, is anyone else in LA that got a 64 still waiting for shipping.
^ thanks koooolkeith
Mine still says preparing for shipping for a 64GB and 32GB both purchased on the same order with next day delivery at 7AM Monday morning CDT. Im hopeful I will still get a notice before the night is over, but I also can't track by reference of my phone or order number on either UPS or FedEx....

If you ordered on the 26th, I'm pretty sure it will be delivered to you by tomorrow sometime. More than likely you will get a notification before the night is over and even may get the notification in the middle of the night, but lighter way, look to receive your new Apple TV by tomorrow. Hopefully it comes tomorrow for ya.
