Hmmm, excellent point...
Most likely, Apple gets some kind of "bulk discount" from the shipping carrier, so that $9.95 may include the price of express shipping... and will hopefully get here on the 26th.
But yeah, just like everyone else, my status shows "Not yet shipped" and the "Cancel items" text is grayed out. I clicked on it to see if I could actually cancel the order and it won't let me.
So I guess I'll wait until Friday like everyone else... I hope it's not a disappointing weekend....
checked the order status about a dozen times, still not yet shipped, not even prepared for shipment. So I guess im pretty much screwed.......stupid UTD program
!!!!its gonna be a longggggg weekend

At least when it does come you have a brand new Mac to run it on. I'd rather that than have it on day one but run it on two-year old kit
Just got an email from Apple (09.12 GMT) "Your order has been shipped" Ohhh Happy days ....
AND U HAVE THE UP TO DATE PROGRAM!! ?
Mine still says, "Ships by: OCTOBER 26TH",
well after waiting about 6 weeks to get my BTO MacBook Pro,
I would be very surprised if I would get my UTD copy tomorrow
It would be awesome because i've got a free weekend since long!

Canadian shipment:
I got my shipping notification last night (Wednesday). Hopefully I can still get delivery on Friday - sometimes things are a bit slow getting to Newfoundland...

Im losing hope here. I spoke to 3 separate reps on 3 separate days. Each one checked thier "internal" system and said that it looked like my UTD disc was going to ship out for DELIVERY on the 26th.
Each also noted that when it did ship I would get an email notification from Apple. Tomorrow is the 26th.... still says NOT YET SHIPPED.
Bottom line is that this is NOT coming tomorrow or it would at least say Prepared to ship or something. Im pissed becasue I have a free weekend. Nothing like Effing the people that bought a product and expected this.
So to recap....
If you bought a retail copy and paid XXX for it vs Apple already have you money in thier hands with an after Oct1 purchase, you are deemed more important as a customer thus get your discs first?
Seems to me that if they wanted to they could have shipped all leopard products together. They closed the 4th quarter with 904 MILLION DOLLARS IN PROFIT....not revenue.. P R O F I T . This would have hrt the bottom line? GRRRR

I guess it just comes down to Apple trusting FedEx employees more than those in the postal service. If they ship out on Friday it's not the end of the world. Go outside and make the most of it before winter sets in
Considering the size of Apple as a company, I know they definitely get a bulk discount with shipping costs. If they aren't, somebody at Apple is not doing their job.
hey guys.. i just spoke to a customer service rep. she basically said my disk was shipping out "by the 26th" which didn't help me much but when I told her that I needed to know if it was specifically gonna be here tomorrow as I am out of town and needed to coordinate with doorman signing package etc, she went on to check a little further than standard answer and stated that I should be receiving between the 30th and 1st. I don't know if this holds true for all of you. Figured I'd share my convo today.
It's upsetting but it is practically free(although you would think ten bucks for shipping could of ensured us pretty fast shipping at the rates apple pays, they do get a pretty significant discount as do all large shippers) So I'm bummed but not mad or anything.
At least this way they can all be the guinea pigs and check for crazy data losing bugs that show up occassionally with updates(even though we have backups it still sucks to go through that)

Lucky! Just out of curiosity where did it ship from? I am in London, ON so I have a good chance at getting it if it ships soon from Toronto. But if yours shipped out, hopefully mine should not be much longer.
my "up-to-date" copy still showing "shipped by 26 October"
so I guess I have no chance of receiving it tomorrow.
what is really annoying is that its my last chance to get it before 6th Nov (will be in Chicago)... was really looking forward to installing it on my MBP whilst away....

Another update because apparently I am obsessed with getting this before the weekend. called Apple and talked to a rep that agai looked at the "internal system" and VERy quickly replied that there is a limitation in the TUD ordering but that my order was preparing for shipment and would be overnighted via FedEX and said I would definately recieve this tomorrow on the 26th.
I guess well wait and see but there is a glimmer of hope for all of us...

There are a lot of people here who seriously need to consider switching to decaffeinated coffee. I am waiting for my UTD as well, but calling Apple every hour to see if their story has changed seems a bit absurd. It makes perfect business sense that Apple would give preferential treatment to customers who paid full price over customers who paid $10. Remember that Apple has 33% margins, possibly more on software. $6.70 does not cover overnight FedEx! Your current OS will still function after Friday at 6PM, so just relax, enjoy the weekend, and expect to get your disc early next week.

I have friday off so i was hoping i would be able to screw around with it on friday and get to studying on the weekend. now when it comes on tuesday or whatever, i may have to get a friend to hide it from me...
