My card was charged and my status is "preparing to ship" as well...Delivery window of 5/14-5/21...
Not sure yet if these are shipping direct from China or from the U.S. If it's U.S., I'm hoping to have them on Friday as Apple has a west coast center about 4 hours away...
 
Hey All,

There’s hope. My Amex was just charged. I have a delivery date of May 14-21. I think we’ll receive them early. Apple doesn’t charge until the product is shipping. Has anyone else been charged?

AMX dinged here also, can’t happen soon enough as it’s getting warmer here in Tejas & my AirPods are needing to be removed, dried & reinserted during my runs now.

I opened my FedEx app and it shows a shipping label created. It doesn’t say Apple and does have a weird date of January. But it definitely wasn’t there yesterday. And I know they reuse tracking numbers. Maybe they are already here in the US.
 
Same...card charge...preparing to ship...5/14-5/21. I got my order confirmation email one minute after preorders started. Pretty confident I will be getting it on Fri.

Nothing here yet for me:(

I got my confirm email at 10:41am EST so I guess I'm still at the back of the line. Hope I didn't waste my money paying for the May 13 - May 20 express delivery.
 
I received tracking for delivery the 10th. At first I was thinking well this will show people that the panic was not justified . Then i came to my senses i have been on a ton of apple preorders and the panic and omg i won't get my order on release day happens ever single time. It's like it's everybody's first-time doing this.

Since I was late to the preorder game, my original delivery timeframe was June 6 - June 20. This morning, I got a notification that the timeframe was changed to June 3 - June 10. I'm in no hurry to get them, but sooner is definitely better than later!
 
I wonder if there will actually be stock in store tomorrow. I know there’s been a lot of talk saying they won’t be, but people were also not expecting to be receiving their online orders tomorrow either.

If there is I'll cancel my order and pick it up in store.
 
Got my confirmation e-mail 16 minutes after release and chose the expedited shipping for the 5/13-5/20 delivery range. Haven’t changed to “preparing to ship” so I’m assuming they won’t be here tomorrow. Hopefully this means it will be the early end of the delivery window. If they haven’t shipped tomorrow I’ll stop by the Apple Store after work to see if they have any in stock and then I can cancel my pre-order.
