Which Apple TV will you get?

Toronto checking in.

Even though my package has had its destination scan and delivery date is by end of day today (20 minutes from now is 7pm EST), tracking doesn't even show that it's on a truck. I called UPS and they said it'll arrive Monday, even though their online system says otherwise. I was skeptical after having a late day package update, and I was right.
 
I ordered my 64GB Apple TV on Wednesday at 2PM EST. Got shipping notification next morning saying it would be delivered on Monday. Few hours later UPS notified it was shipping, and updated the shipment to today. It came today at 2pm! I used the free shipping too, I live in CT. No clue how this happened, but I am psyched!
 
I mentioned that I saw large lines when I had to go pick mine up from the store earlier (since let down by delivery) and now most surrounding stores are fully out, wondering if this is a lot bigger than Apple expected or just seriously constrained shipments

I think this roll out leaves a lot to be desired. I realize this is not an iPhone roll out but that's my point! If they can roll out millions of iPhones and get them all out to almost everyone in ONE day, then they certainly should have been able to do this on this much easier of a load.
No pre-order start time given.
No date given for availability in stores.
No guaranteed delivery by XXXX given.
No online for pickup in store info given.
I've been buying from Apple for quite a while now and this is not the best roll out by far!
 
Got a shipping notification!!! .......for the ****ing loop. Still PFS on my 32GB Apple TV and I tried to cancel the order and they wouldn't.
 
I found them at my local Best Buy and had it in my hands within 15 minutes. I'll just send the other one back when it comes. Apple will just have to eat the shipping!

Setting up my 64 gig now!

I'm never pre ordering anything again. My still hasn't even shipped.
I'm still going to pre-order but then walk myself right down to the Apple store day of, and then return the one I ordered online.
Mine is still only PFS.
I think they are going to be dealing with a lot of returns this go-round.

I was told during my chat that they had a limited amount and are trying to ship as fast as possible.Never got a real answer when I asked why did they not wait until all of the orders shipped before stocking the stores.
 
Preordered
Monday 10/26 8:40am Central

after ****ing days of preparing for shipment

Shipping notification

 says Nov 3 delivery, Fedex still says label created with a 10/31 delivery.

Apple has quite a ways to go before they're Amazon.
 
Well, Friday is ticking away and still no shipping notice. At this rate, I'm not going to get on Monday. PFS since Tuesday, FedEx notified at 4:18am on the 29th and the thing still hasn't actually shipped. I think Tim Cook is holding mine in his office and laughing at all my posts because I'm a Bama fan.

same situation for me. Fed Ex notified at same time and date for mine, but was only picked up this afternoon at 2:15pm. The original delivery date on the shipped email said delivery by end of day Saturday, but now that it has been picked up in Nashville, FedEx says I won't get it until Tuesday. Ordered standard shipping (2 day). If they had picked it up on the 29th, I would have it tomorrow. Not sure what is going on with Apple and FedEx.
 
Just cancelled order going to Best Buy. Rep told me the plane with the shipments got delayed because of weather.
