Apple TV 4 Pre-Order Thread

IMO, unless you're expecting something else from Fed-Ex, its your apple TV. Remember, the Apple dates is only an estimate and it will always be the worst possible date since they don't know what Fed-Ex or UPS will do.
But, from reading on the forums, it seems Fed-Ex tends to reach out and please their customers where UPS doesn't give a hoot and will be slower than molasses to get things delivered.
What kind of FedEx shipping did they use. Fedex Home Delivery service delivers Tuesday-Saturday.
BTW for those of you with a Discover IT card, remember the Apple Pay promo right now. 10% cash back for Apple Pay payments (in store, no in app and no gift cards) through Dec 31st in the US and for those that qualified for the current sign up all cash back earned in the first year is doubled at the end of the first 12 months. In this case effectively 20% plus back (10% should be within first 1-2 filing cycles after purchase). Just thought I would mention since so many of us decided to instead go to the store.
I was planning to get 32GB, but when I was at the Apple Store at lunch, I decided to grab the 64GB version. I have a feeling I will have a lot of apps eventually and I would rather just get the one that has the most memory now. I had thought about just moving the 32GB into the bedroom if it filled up, but I would probably want a 64GB in there, too, if I was using it that much.
Whats this Apple pay you speak of? us Canadians don't know about this new fangled apple pay....
Update on my Apple TV shipment... Talked to FedEx and it looks like my order missed the plane and won't be delivered until Monday. At the earliest. Called Apple to get a refund on my overnight delivery and they wouldn't help me. Is it just me or has Apple Support gone to **** recently? Not amused...
So, one (!) of my two just went 'Shipped' with *tomorrow* as the arrival date. Good grief.
They were ordered literally seconds apart and the other is still PFS. Time to get the popcorn and see what happens. If one comes tomorrow, good thing I didn't order two for ISPU yet.
ETA: The one shipped is FedEx and is in Harrisburg PA, so it definitely should be here tomorrow, with the normal Saturday delivery. Cool. But the five days of PFS gives you a headache, for sure.

Just picked mine up at the store. I asked the person if they have sold a lot so far and he said I was the first but have a few online orders that need to be picked up. Here in Canoga Park - CA.
He also told me how they just set up the new ATV this morning and were not allowed to open one up until this morning.

I can't wait to see where the second one 'ships' from. Perhaps Tennessee? Lol...Mine never shipped yet
Try again once it's been delivered. They may not be able to provide that refund until delivery.
Mine suddenly showed up in Tennessee today and is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Sat in preparing for shipment for the last couple of days up until about 10 this morning.
Ordered mine same time on Monday with free shipping and all I have is "preparing for shipment."
I ended up getting impatient and picked up a 64GB ATV4 today at my local Apple Store. As of 11 AM, they had at least 36 64GB devices, and 18 32 GB ones. Obviously they're pushing the larger storage devices out there. Thank goodness for a previously unused gift card!
Now to wait for the previously ordered 32 GB device and return it.
