Got my shipping notification e-mail early this morning. Held at Middletown, PA since the 28th, delivers on Nov 2nd by 3pm via FedEx here at my office in Boston. Guess Apple's finally got a handle on at least their direct store orders getting out early.

i hope this is the case. My tracking# currently is not showing anything on UPS.
My email also states Delivery date of Nov. 6th and i order 5:30am on pre-order day.
I'm flying out on sunday so i'll miss the Nov 6th delivery date if its true.
Let's hope there was a batch drop in Canada and these tracking numbers are distribution from a local warehouse.
Yeah, it looks like all the Canadians so far commenting all have the same thing, regardless of which city it is. We'll know more this afternoon once we see some UPS updates.
In the end, it can't be as bad as the Nexus 7 shipment issues that were going on during pre-orders, lol (for Canadians, specifically).
Buying from Apple was cool. I got my shipping notice. My mini's are all in Mira Loma CA delivery set for Mesa AZ tomorrow via Fed Ex! They usually come to my work by 9:30!
Still waiting on a shipment notice from Verizon for two iPhone 5's for delivery tomorrow. Ugh!

Apple updated to shipped for me as well. Tracking says it is now in Newark NJ. Came from Middletown Pa.
Just got my Shipped email as well. I ordered @ 3:01AM EST on the 26th. It says it shipped on the 28th and will be delievered on the 6th. Im in Ontario Canada.
I wouldn't actually put a lot of weight on the Apple site's shipping estimate in Canada just yet. Probably an under-promise/over-deliver situation.
I'll keep watching the UPS site today.

At least yours states it shipped on the 28th (versus the 31st in my case).
Any Zone 2 or above people out there from Canada with any information?
Me too. It's pretty goofy to get a shipping notice on Thursday when it left China on Monday and has been sitti gain Kentucky since Tuesday.
Add me to the Canadians who ordered at 3:04am EST and just got the "shipped" email for 11/06 delivery. A lot of times it is delivered before UPS updates, but I usually see some tracking in advance. Currently tracking number isn't even set up yet. Guess we will know a little more this afternoon.
I will be checking my tracking # every hour or so lol
And Im glad it shipped out the 28th! There is hope

Yep, mine is there too. Got there on 10-30. They will all go out this evening to our local hubs and be out for delivery this time tomorrow!

UPS signing rules
Had an interesting experience...
I ordered an iPad Mini, which is expected to arrive Friday and an iPad Mini Smart Cover.
I was unable to be home on Thursday when the smart cover was out for delivery, but printed off the pre-sign for from Apple's website. I also left my cellphone on the paper just in case they had questions.
The UPS guy called me and said he can't leave it because Apple requires a signature. I told him, "isn't that what the form is for?" And he said he couldn't do it.
Living in a big city, we have multiple UPS guys, so I hope the other guy will leave it.
But isn't that was the pre-sign form is for?

They (UPS) put the 1st delivery notice on my form. I complained to management and I was told because it's Apple product. They have instructed all drivers it's their discretion to leave Apple products at the door. To alleviate grief and issues of stolen merchandise most drivers are not leaving 'any' Apple products at the door. This isn't a local communication but coming from management. Thieves apparently like to steal stuff coming from Apple, left on doorsteps.
The drivers still have the discretion of whether or not to leave the package even if the form is signed. My driver wouldn't leave my two iPhone 5's on my porch even though I'd properly filled out and signed the forms.
Welcome to the waiting in Kentucky club.
And I sure as heck hope my UPS guy uses his discretion and leaves my iPad at my door tomorrow. If not I'll be so pissed.
Chill out. You'll get it tomorrow. Mine says Nov 6th as well. Same as the iPhone 5, apple puts the latest guaranteed delivery date in the range. You're in zone 1 so you'll get it tomorrow. You will see tracking updated this afternoon showing the mini in either mount hope or concord. By the time you get up tomorrow it'll be 'on vehicle for delivery'
