I think I will be asking for my $17 back. no reason to pay expedited shipping when I could just go to the store and pick it up. Real question is, do you think we can get our $17 (or $19 if you did by noon delivery) back?
Got a tip for us?

noon delivery, I doubt it. Apple is pretty good with refunds, but even if you pull the whole "I will return and rebuy it" you do not get refunded shipping cost.
I don't see why they would refund it since there is sure to be people who picked free that do not get it friday.
you paid the money for the GUARANTEE that the device would get to you tomorrow. Those with standard shipping didn't have that guarantee. You can't expect them to ship something priority and then because others get it on the same day ask them to comp the cost. UPS/Fedex still had to be paid extra for that service.
Delivers tomorrow by 8pm. Overnight delivery, PFS on Apple but appears on Fedex with my phone number as reference.
Mines preparing for shipment I did the free shipping not paying 17 dollars to get it this Friday delivery November 2 day shipping anybody on same route as me
Ordered Monday before 10 am est with next day on 64 GB Apple TV. Still showing preparing for shipping.
Per My UPS I STILL have a 1.5 lbs package that is awaiting pickup via UPS and is in MT Juliet, it's been awaiting pickup SINCE Tuesday Night. My Apple Order page however still shows everything as processing.
I do have a USPS coming today from Carroll IA which I have no clue on as well.
I also ordered nimbus controller and remote loop as separate orders so I've got no clue what's coming or when.
Really hoping for today as I'm gonna be tied up Friday.

go fedex.com and track package by reference number. Your reference number is your phone number and no spaces.
UK dispatch notification email just now. Was the standard free shipping, but the email says delivers tomorrow, 30/10/2015
Now trackable, UK Mail
Mines not showing up with UK Mail yet
Has anyone in Canada received a shipping notification or been able to track their order via reference yet?
Preparing for Shipment
Delivers: 4 Nov - 6 Nov by Standard Shipping

My uk order is not even dispatched yet, let alone appearing on UK mail!
I imagine it's on embargo until Friday at the earliest, that's what usually happens with these type of products. Some occasionally slip through though.
If Apple just used this on another shipment to me, will they add a 1 or something at the end. Didnt know if they can use the same reference number over and over?
That's good to hear! I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow, but I won't be disappointed if it arrives today, even if it's a small chance of that happening, lol.Nice.
DUDE! I just went to fedex.com and Track by Reference. Enter your phone number (that you entered when ordering your Apple TV, does NOT need the 1 before the area code), Country Destination, and Destination Zip Code and hit enter.
My label has been created and it will be delivered tomorrow by 10:30AM! Apparently the Apple TV 4 is already in California (Rialto to be more specific). I hope yours is the same! Let me know what yours says!

Mine shows PFS. Delivery Nov 2 to Nov 4th. Both fedex and UPS show nothing under track by reference. So I suspect we Canadians won't get ours till sometime next week.
Neither has mine. Don't panic, you are still likely to get it tomorrow.
Mount Juliet is the location of the warehouse where some of the ATV are shipping from, see post 1013 in this thread. But that post shows the weight as 2 lbs, so it might be the nimbus and loop you are seeing.
Order still shows Preparing for Shipment for delivery to Toronto - Canada
Ship by Nov 2-4
I searched UPS with my phone number and postal code and this result came. I hope i get appletv on friday as wanna play with appletv over the weekend.

Interesting how pricing and shipment options have changed in the US when I just checked Apples site (no option for next day at all):
- Standard Shipping Nov 6 - Nov 10 Free
- 2-3 Business Days Nov 4 - Nov 6 $10.00
I just checked FedEx using my phone number and mine is in Mount Juliet as well. But my weight is 2lbs and no other items than the 32GB Apple TV are included... I didn't buy anything else. Seems as that is pretty standard. But I am getting mine tomorrow by 8pm according to FedEx!!
