Ordered first thing, no shipping notification yet. Doing an in store pickup today. I'm embarrassed to say that I think Apple just got another sale out of me for this whole debacle (keeping the one coming next week for the bedroom).

I've seen a lot of people who's deliveries didn't make today, whether they paid the extra or not.

I can understand your frustration, as I really don't know why Apple didn't announce a date for ATV for in-store.

I just think as for the whole delivery process once it leaves Apple warehouse it is general out of there hands. The scale as well of the transport industry is outstanding, the amount of things that happen within 18 hours is mind boggling. I just think its one of them things were a percentage of people will miss out on launch day, and I cant me stopped as something logistically will happen.
 
Same deal in Regina, SK. Got an email yesterday around noon saying it had shipped, tracking number didn't start working until the evening and it hasn't changed from:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.
Yeah I just ran to the closest Apple Store (West Edmonton Mall) and grabbed one. I'll return the one I ordered and eat the 14$ I paid for expedited.
 
I'm surprised you didn't receive an e-mail I actually did. my FedEx status was last updated at 7:51. Still scheduled for delivery by 10:30 so It's fine. :) I'm just getting impatient! LOL! :D
Maybe there was an option to receive updates from Apple and I didn't check it. But at least I know for sure that it's out for delivery. Just 1.5 hours to go!! You and I both! Haha, this day better fly by...
 
Long time listener, first time caller. :)

I'm in the same boat as many of you. I (pre)ordered around 9:00 AM on Monday with standard shipping. On Tuesday, I called to upgrade to "expedited" shipping, which clearly isn't the case. Fortunately they gave it to me for free.

Since probably late Tuesday, I've been stuck at Preparing for Shipment.

I'm also near Harrisburg, so I'm guessing there's some sort of issue with their shipments that they're taking forever to send them out.
You might be right that's why the east coast order are taking long
 
Just ordered another 64GB ATV for in-store pickup, since my pre-order is still PFS (Los Angeles area).

I already got the "We're Ready for you!" email lol...oh well, first-world problems, right?

Maybe I'll end up keeping the pre-ordered Gen 4 for the upstairs bedroom.
 
No delivery today. UPS tracking saying item received so will probably get on mondat. Went and picked up Apple tv from Apple Store. Will return the one later in the week.

It just switched! Out for delivery! Woooooo! funny thing is..... It's been Out for delivery this whole time! It's a little after 9 AM and the status JUST switched! yet it said the updated time on the site says 7:59am. o_O Oh well, It's heading my way now! :D
 
Got mine this morning

Posted this in another thread:


**PSA**

For those of you who chose free shipping and it is being handled by UPS.... UPS will require a signature even though Apple did not.
 
As mine not coming until next week, went and picked up at the store. Ton of people in line which surprised me and lots being sold even from minute 1 of opening. 2 64s now in hand and will return the others when they finally arrive
 
Mines says on delivery app 5 days left till I get I hope it's not true

Lol, it took an hour to update? That's weird. BUT HEY, it's almost in our hands...
 
FedEx is running behind in Nashville, apparently :(
Now they say it'll be here before 12:40, instead of 10:30. Thanks, FedEx
 
Ordered 8:58am on the 26th with expedited shipping. UPS status is "shipping label created" with no estimated delivery yet and shipping email from apple at 12:40am says delivery est Nov 2nd. I called to complain about paying and extra $17 for really no benefit and that historically pre-orders of new apple products arrive day of release. Rep said they are within the estimated delivery window still but understood my frustration and credited the expedited delivery fee. Said I could buy in store and return ordered one in store or by mail if I so chose. If I have time I'll go to store and get one otherwise I'm just glad I'm no longer paying $17 extra for no reason.

That Apple notification in the Deliveries app is just based on the delivery estimate (latest date), once it ships (changes from Preparing Shipment) you should see it update to an actual delivery time
 
Is anyone in the DC area seeing movement on their deliveries yet? I ordered a 64GB model with free delivery on Monday at 8:30 AM, and it's still "Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 3-5 business days Delivers: 02 Nov, 2015 - 04 Nov, 2015 by Free 2 Business Day Shipping"
 
So one thing that bugs me is I can't use the remote app on it? I had to pair the Siri remote, and then when I got to the home screen my remote app still wouldn't see it. Is this a remote app update?

I would rather use my phone / watch than the remote, more conveinient.
