Guys if you're looking on the website for the status it might be different in the Apple Store app. Mine is showing as processing on the site but dispatched in the app
What does the light grey band say above 'Apple TV 4th Gen......' on the iPhone app for you? Mine says Dispatched: then 2-3 working days underneath.
 
Mine are still PFS, I think it will make it Friday or maybe even Thursday for my overnight order.

On a side note do you guys really feel like the strap it worth it? Reminds me of the Wii. I have no kids, I have a hard time believing this would fly out of my hand lol.

ill make this decision once I have the ATV and the apps to play with, you might not need it all!
 
I just ordered the strap when I realized I needed an HDMI cable. It's 17 bucks so I'll hardly lose sleep over it if I don't wind up using it

FYI ATV's are now showing 'available to ship 1-3 days' online

Still processing for me (UK)

I'm a bit concerned as my old mobile number is in my details, so if they wanted to contact me they can't! Might be why mine is delayed.

Anyone else still 'processing' in the UK?
 
Did anyone order a 64GB with Next Day Shipping (pre-noon) get their status updated to "Preparing for Shipment?"

I'm still stuck in processing.
 
I never thought I'd be jealous of a person because of their shipping status.

Also, maybe it's because I'm in California.

I'm in California also (near L.A.), I have:
Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 3-5 business days Delivers: 30 Oct, 2015 - 03 Nov, 2015 by Next Day Shipping

A month later and we see a post from Appollonian creating a thread, "broke my tv using the new Apple TV."

Kidding !

Hopefully that doesn't happen !! Lol

I have kids and had a vision of it flying out of one of their hands into the tv so I immediately ordered the strap. Parental intuition. If I didn't have kids I wouldn't have ordered it.

I did and it's preparing for shipment. I ordered around 9am on Monday.

It's probably because I added a last minute message on mine. What was I thinking!?

Bay Area here. Ugh, this waiting game sucks. Maybe they're working on orders from the SoCal up to NorCal, lol.

<raises hand> Ordered a 64GB on the 26th, confirmation is timestamped 1246 GMT, still says "Processing Items" and "Delivery: 30 Oct - 3 Nov by Standard Shipping"

I should really learn to stress less about this as they've never let me down yet...

There are still a few people with in process.
Remember most things don't dispatch until the day before, so you really from now until late Thursday night for it to dispatch for a Friday delivery.

Sword, Spider is referring to an iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deliveries-a-package-tracker/id290986013?mt=8) you can choose Apple as a shipping party, enter your Apple order number and email and it will track the delivery for you. Now at point of Preparing For Shipment the number of days showing and estimated delivery should be taken with a grain of salt as it can mimic whats showing on the Apple Store order screen but once it physically ships it will start counting down for you and show you on the map.

Great app, been using it for UPS, FEDEX, DHL etc for years

I know, its a great app I've been using it for years as well and its dashboard widget before that. I was saying that in reference to munky asking if anyone had been able to find a tracking number. With previous pre-orders its been possible to find your tracking number early by searching ups or fedex via a reference number either to your order number or phone number if it was an iPhone purchase.
 
It does, but I much rather do this than running around the city hoping to buy one and wasting time.
True! Haha, that would definitely suck. I just want it to be here on Friday so I don't have to go to work on Saturday and sit there waiting for a package.
haha I did the same!

Lol, I decided to put my university motto instead. No idea why, I mean it was free so why not?

Just a word of caution, glimmer of hope with the status thing on Apples pages. Remember in the past that in a number of cases the order page has shown Preparing For Shipment when it is already on a truck and that tracking numbers are often late (as are shipment status updates) in updating there. Apple likes to keep you wondering :)

With recent 6s shipments same thing was seen. Preparing For Shipment yet when you used the backdoor tracking method (UPS tracking by reference number and using your cell phone number of the unit) it showed already on a truck and working its way towards you.

Just thought I'd mention it. Hopefully we all get these on Friday ! :)

In my case, since I live in Canada, if there's any chance for a Friday miracle delivery, the status needs to change to Shipped today.
