Just got an email from the Apple store. I ordered on the 14th and I've been stuck at Preparing Shipment for the last several days. The following email just arrived in my inbox:

Fantastic service I must say. First they tell me that anyone who orders before the 26th can get Tiger by the 29th. Now they claim some b.s. about "unexpected delays". What a crock.
