Hmmm. Still preparing for despatch. When do we think the latest tine is when it can be dispatched for arrival tomorrow?
I'd imagine if you're preparing for dispatch, you'll get it tomorrow. But I'd say if it's not dispatched by late tonight, it may not come tomorrow.
Good point. Knowing others have seen theirs change already has got me nervous but I'm sure it'll be fine.
Woohoo, my order just went to Dispatched.
Order was placed at 3pm on Monday, if that helps anyone? UKMail is the courier.
As someone else said earlier in this thread, after all these years of new product releases, you'd think we'd not get so excited and worked up anymore wouldn't you?

The worst part of any Apple pre-order thread: watching everyone else's kit ship before mine.
Ordered Monday 6pm-ish, still PFD...

Mine still not dispatched and I ordered at 12:50 PM on Monday. Getting worried..
Ordered at about the same time as you. Still PFS. Not gonna start worrying just yet though.
First time pre-orderer here - what is the difference between 'preparing for dispatch' and 'preparing for shipment'?
Is it common for Apple to send items out of order like this, in that people above seem to be waiting for shipment despite ordering before others who have had theirs despatched? Seems an odd way to do things, unless other aspects are taken into account, such as geography etc.

I'm sure they do take geography into account, and send orders out in batches to regional sorting hubs, probably starting with the most distant. After following many iPhone/iPad/iMac/MacBook pre-orders (and the Apple Watch pre-order) on MacRumors, I don't think anyone has figured out their 'system' (assuming there is one).
As discussed earlier in this thread, Apple UK use Syncreon for their logistics, and their main distribution centre is at Hinckley in Leicestershire. This is less than an hour's drive from me, so although my 32GB ATV when to PFD at about 10:45, it probably won't dispatch until later this evening.
popped into a curry superstore this afternoon. they have an apple section with the watch and all the other guff. asked the guy next to the apple TV section when they would have the ATV4 and he said sometime before christmas and it starts at £99. he was wearing an apple t-shirt so bit surprised he wasn't a bit more clued up.
they got some nice gear in curry these days, even had a little fiddle with my wallet when I saw a DJI phantom 3 sitting there looking lonely.

I'd say you've got until about 2AM for your order to show as dispatched to stand a chance of getting it tomorrow. I'd say PFD status means they've booked the deliveries with the onward carrier and are awaiting a truck to overnight the goods to local depots, ready for the multi-drop drivers to load up at 6/7/8AM and head out to customers.
Has anyone been able to find their details on UKMail yet? I just checked and it said it wasn't valid or something?
Ahhhhhhhh I can't take this.
I'm still on "Preparing for dispatch". Ordered with in the first 30 minutes of preorders.
Delivery still says 30th Oct - 3rd November.

Same. Ordered within first 10 mins. Hopefully change soon. Still confident of delivery tomorrow. Hate this waiting!
Love this apathy. Most folk in this thread could tell you to the nearest minute when their status was updated!

I know, that's the best I could do though, as there was a period that I couldn't check. I just checked the tracking information and as at 16:05 it was in Leicester being delivered by DPD.
Mine ain't shipped yet either , and am in N. Ireland
It needs to hurry up n catch the plane if coming from England lol
