Boo, now it shows delivery expected on October 5, 2010
 
I for the life of me *cannot* figure out Apple's priority system. The *one* time I order something on announcement day at 11:28am Sept 1st it still does not show any change of status, and all I see here & on other sites are how people ordered the day after me and it's already on an airplane on it's way......

I WANT MY NEW TOY!!!! 😀😀😀

Was in the same boat until a few minutes ago:
Order Date: Sep 1, 2010 at 06:28 PM PDT
Now: Prepared for Shipment
 
ordered mine Sept 1 from apple.ca just after the keynote.
shipped Sep 27 via fedex, now in transit - estimated delivery: Sep 29, 2010 by 12:00 PM
 
Delivery by the 29th... Mine just got to Hong Kong.

All our AppleTV's are probably hanging out in the same shipment. 🙂
 
Got my tracking as well. This morning it said delivery by Sept 30th, now it was just changed to October 5th. It looks like the apple tv's got to Fed Ex after their deliver cutoff time. This is the message that was just posted by Fed Ex on the tracking site.


Package received after FedEx cutoff

I'm pissed that my delivery date was just changed by a full week.
 
Is this where we'll do all the fun tracking posts? All of the breathless refreshes of the FlightAware site?

If so, here's the journey my little friend has taken thus far:

Same thing happened here. Not really pissed though, because with these international shipments it's impossible to predict the real delivery date. I honestly doubt it will be October 5th, but I guess we will see what happens.

That's odd, I ordered 20 min after you and it's already on the flight, on schedule to be delivered on Wednesday. Although I'm in canada, so we might have gotten a different plane to take our shipments so US ones are still waiting.

Yeah, like mentioned by others after our posts, I too cannot figure out the priority system which is in place for orders. One would think the computers would simply go down the line of orders as they were received. Oh well, just checked and mine is now Prepared for Shipment. Hoping it catches up to the rest of you much like during the iPhone 4 mess where some had their phones arrive and the system was lagging behind.
 
Haha, this morning mine said delivered by 9/30. now it says 10/05.

But with Apple's track record, I know I'll get mine by 9/30. No worries. 🙂
 
For those of you keeping score at home, mark me down as another briefly 9/30, now 10/5. Seems there is a lot of this going around.
 
mine is in transit to LANTAU ISLAND Hong Kong.

Looks like it will leave Chek Lap Kok international airport or CarHire HongKong airport once there.

Anyone think some will show up in Apple stores this week?

My sense is that these are all in the first production run from the factory and the delivery times are more a function of where you are in the US because they are all coming here on the same planes. As for the stores, I can't see how they'd have them any sooner than the first buyers for the same reason unless they shipped a production run to the stores early. I can't see how Apple would do that knowing how ticked off the loyal pre-ordering customers would be. They seem to be selling out their first production runs with iPhones, iPads and now Apple TVs via pre-orders so that doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
 
To see if there's any rhyme or reason..
Date ordered, current status, and your location.

9/1, Prepared for Shipment, New York

Finally......"Prepared for Shipment"!!
 
Mine still shows Prepared for Shipment.

I also ordered mine with Priority Shipping.
 
ugh, mine was picked up from fed-ex around 12 today, nothing has happened since.

same here with the 30th, but now the 5th

though i've learned fed-ex is either hit or miss with these estimated deliveries.
either 5 days off, or right on the mark.... i'm hope it still gets here by friday.
 
Mine was ordered:
Order Date: Sep 1, 2010 at 11:33 AM PDT

Fed Ex Tracking info says:
Ship date Sep 27, 2010
Estimated delivery Sep 30, 2010 by 4:30 PM

My apple email does say: Delivers by Oct 1, 2010

I do live in the Memphis area though which every ATV will probably pass through justifying a delivery before the 10/1 date.....
