Which Apple TV will you get?

No. That is not even a little bit true. Everyone that purchased the Apple TV early enough online with expedited shipping was quoted a delivery range of Oct 30 - Nov 3. At most, you guaranteed yourself delivery by Tuesday Nov. 3rd.

ok so you're guaranteed shipping by Tuesday. So if you get it tomorrow all the better. The bottom line is you paid extra for a faster shipping service. Once the service is carried out, you can't ask for a refund.

worked for me!

EDIT: I ordered with standard shipping
I'm pretty sure it will give you that screen no matter what phone number you input, not sure why. Does it give you an actual tracking number below?

Waaaaittt.... This isn't right. I changed the date to when I know I didn't get a package (this summer), and it still said there was a package.

I think the extra part of the ZIP code broke it. Sorry for the false hope guys.

Also, #HailState from a fellow Bulldog!

Is anyone else who paid $17 for expedited shipping getting UPS? I did the track by reference and chose mail innovation, entered my order ID and zip code, and it pulled up a package but there's no tracking number or anything.

Hail State!

Hmmm that's strange because I don't normally have packages delivered to our office, but the zip code for the office is generating this page.
 
I ordered on Monday at 8:30 am CST with next day shipping. The only reason I paid the extra $17 for next day shipping was to get it on Friday because the free shipping option said Nov. 2 was the earliest delivery date. I'm going to be upset if I don't get mine tomorrow while people that choose free shipping get their's and, I will definitely ask Apple for a refund for the shipping.

I actually got a tracking number, but, I also paid for overnight.
 
My status just changed to sent, expected delivery october 30th :-D . Shipping from Eindhoven, Netherlands to Antwerp, Belgium with DHL. Looks like it's gonna be a lazy weekend :).
 
Syncreon is just a made up name apple uses when they ship lol. I'm in Canada and received my nimbus controller from 'Syncreon' yesterday.

Lol. No. Syncreon is a logistics company that specializes in cross- docking and break-bulking. Look them up. In other words, they get a pallet of stuff--like AppleTvs--from the manufacturer, break it apart (break-bulk), slap individual shipping labels on them, then sort them to spread out for shipping to different locations (cross-docking).

Engaging companies like syncreon allows Apple to pre-stage supply around the world before knowing where each individual unit is going.

yes I stand corrected sir. I always thought it was a covert tactic to prevent theft of shipments lol.

Yup, in the Netherlands they are also using DHL and UPS. Both are my favorite (NOT !!!) couriers. At least DHL has a warehouse close to where I live, so I can drive there and pick up myself after the driver returned.

Still no shipping notice... I fear for DHL this time.

no saturday night in the marmite bar then...
 
I just checked my last email from Apple for an overnight shipment of the Game Controller. I got the email indicting that it had shipped overnight at 3pm the day before it arrived. So, hopefully that will happen the same today for the ATV. Currently 10:16am pst and not email yet but I have time.
 
Mine was ordered on Monday morning here in Phoenix 32g, still PFS, but i went on UPS and i signed up for MYUPS back when i was getting my iPhone and i didn't have to enter anything it just showed me a tracking number and a package that was being delivered on Friday that was 2.30 pounds coming from RIALTO, CA, US.
 
I ordered at 9am and selected over night express shipping to receive it Friday. Mine has not shipped yet.
It hasn't shipped for anyone in the USA yet. People are posting shipping labels found on UPS or FedEx, shipping status probably will not change until later this afternoon or tonight.

How are they finding the Fedex labels? I have UPS My Choice and nothing has showed up there yet so I figured mine may ship Fedex.
