Im just curious, my order says expected delivery is on 9/19 to 9/23, and it hasn't shipped yet, the status is "Preparing for Shipment". Should I get in on the 19? (ps I'm canadian if it changes anything) Thanks
Hopefully, probably unlikely - I presume it's got that range because they can only ship a certain amount per day and they've probably filled the quota for the 19th, 20th, etc. If UPS or Fedex work hard then yes! Lets hope so.
There is a map which shows the parts of canada they will deliver by 19th, so if you are in the main cities I would safely guess you will receive it on launch day High Five!

your lucky that yours updated to preparing for shipment, mines still stuck on processing even though I already been charged on my cc.
Just a bit of friendly advice... handcuff her to the front door. Leave her a big bottle of water and a big empty bottle because, well, you know.
Hope so for your sake! Though with my history of delivery orders, mine always came at the latter end of the time estimate, if not later than that. My iPad 3 arrived the date after they told me it would come. The only site I actually got my stuff early from is newegg. Somehow their 5-7 day shipping arrives in 2 days.
I would think that the range of dates stated is self explanatory. You could get it as soon as the 19th, or as late as the 23rd, as things stand now.
