I have orders placed with both the UK Apple Store (on-line) and Amazon UK

*snip*

I'll probably be heading to my local (by local, I mean two hours away) Apple retail store Friday night to try and snag a copy

Hm.. interesting. I have one or two clients who would like to upgrade, so maybe I'll order a copy from Amazon on their behalf just in case the Apple Store one doesn't ship.

If neither ship in time, I might go to a retail store too :D
 
We are still only "Package data transmitted to FedEx", so maybe some of you guys were right about Apple just sending out the info to FedEx.
I guess we will all see shortly, though!

Sorry for the delays in getting back to you all sooner! A man needs to sleep!

I am going to keep updating the first post with any new information that I get along the way.

Fedex is bad about not updating their tracking database. I've went from "Package data transmitted" to "Arrived at destination" and "Out for delivery" before.
 
for what it's worth,

i work for an apple reseller in australia.
today, we received a few rather large boxes from apple, marked "do not open until october 26"

wonder what's in them? :D
 
Let's hope it ships soon! If it really ships from CA, I'd like lots of transit time (even if it is sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a day or two) for all of us east-coasters!
 
Can people post when they ordered and their current status?

I ordered on 1st day available @ 4:45 PST.

I've ordered overnight from :apple: before and got it the next day. I live in north Alabama.

Good to know! Thanks!

I got an e-mail from Apple about shipping this morning. I got all excited when I saw the delivery date for Oct. 25. Then I saw that it was the stupid AppleCare I ordered yesterday! :) Maybe FedEx will just say "screw it" and deliver both Leopard and AppleCare on Thursday (or "accidentally" deliver Leopard on Thursday and AppleCare on Friday :)), to save themselves a trip on Friday!
 
Still tuck on Prepared for Shipping.
Akk.
I hope it ships out today or tomorrow.
By the way what time of day does Apple usually stop sending products to fed-ex or whatever for shipping?
