I’ve still not got a shipping notification but the full charge is still sowing on my CC.
Does anyone remember how you track shipping using your order number? Is it minus the last two digits?

I would be surprised if they are delivered early. The couriers are told not to deliver Apple products until the official launch day. I suspect our HomePods might be like the iPhone X pre-orders. They changed to Prepared for dispatch on the Friday the week before launch, and stayed like that until the evening before launchpreparing for shipment ... what are the chances these arrive early?
I think the order changes to Prepared for dispatch once the address label is printed and stuck on our boxed order. These are then shipped in bulk by air to the Hinckley distribution centre from where they become trackable with the UK courier (DPD for my iPhone X). In the good old days the orders were shipped with UPS and were trackable from China...Preparing for Shipment
I would doubt it. I have heard that occasionally an order (one or two) slips through ahead of the available date, but I figure they have the timing pretty well on cue.preparing for shipment ... what are the chances these arrive early?
What is this load of horsesh*t? Mine just says "Preparing for Shipment", not Dispatch. Dispatch sounds so much cooler.
Dispatch - UK/Australia(?)
Shipment - US
we can but hopepreparing for shipment ... what are the chances these arrive early?
Does anyone know if you did an in store pick up if you can switch to ship to home?
Once the order is in 'Preparing to Ship' status (as mine is now), no changes can be made.
So apple switched my instore pickup to delivery but it shows delivery on 2/12. It’s preparing to ship and confused as to why it shows 2/12 when you can place an order now and still get 2/9 delivery. Anyone think it’ll change to 2/9? I’m thinking of just placing a new order. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
It's not clear to me if you're saying that Apple changed your order to home delivery without you requesting it? You earlier asked if that was possible. If there is a mistake then you can use chat on the order page on the Apple website and discuss with Apple. I also have no idea why it would now be saying Feb 12 delivery, as you point out even orders placed today are quoting Feb 9 delivery. Do you live in a location where delivery normally takes longer?
