Powerbeats Pro Now Available to Pre-Order in U.S. and Canada

Nothing here either. Hopefully they will have them in store tomorrow and I can cancel the order.
 
Mine swapped from Friday to Saturday but they're finally moving now. At the FedEx center in TN.
 
I was a little late to the party and the apple store was showing a 2-3 week delay, so i ordered from best buy at 712pm pacific on the 3rd, and my order just changed to shipping. Very surprised

I think it was free overnight shipping, so hopefully i’ll get them saturday

what time did you order? My email receipt shows a time of 7:02. My status is still preparing to ship but FedEx shows a delivery from Apple scheduled for tomorrow. Shows the package will ship from Rialto CA, about 45 minutes away from me. Depending on where Apple ships from in your area, it isn't worth paying for expedited service. For me, except for new iPhones that come from China, standard shipping always ships from Rialto and is always next day.

Paying for expedited service doesn't move you up in line, just a faster shipping service once it ships, like overnight instead of ground. Depending on how far away you are from where Apple ships, it might not make a difference.

I ordered somewhere around 7:20am (PST) or 8:20am my local time, but surely that would be early enough to get the May 10 delivery date. Unfortunately it looks like I will be getting it Monday since there still has been no movement or change in status. I'm genuinely surprised that the demand of these earbuds are high enough to create such a backlog of orders.

No movement here either. I think the fact that Apple didn’t advertise the preorder or launch shows they weren’t making very many initially. Very typical of this “new” Apple where they kind of throw stuff out there half baked knowing people will buy it regardless. I should have known something was up when they had the expedited shipping option on a supposedly launch item. Last time I fall for that. Guess I’ll get it next week sometime as originally promised.

At least you know when they are arriving.

The rest of the world (apart from Canada) is still waiting for pre-orders to come online. Here in the UK, the apple page states coming soon, and the beats page still says May. So we have still 20 days for something to happen.

Definitely one of the worst "so called" launches ever. Not a very equitable way to release a new product and unprepared in their implementation. Seems like Apple is totally separating itself from its own Beats brand. Bizarre business strategy.

Nothing in mine either. Although I caught a UPS guy on the block and he did say that he delivered to the Apple store this morning. Maybe they are still processing?
 
People reporting no local stock - is that after you went to the store or based on what it says online?
 
Mine is supposed to be here today...but I think I'm gonna return it and wait for the blue. From the reviews, the black doesn't look as nice as it does in the pics. But hope everyone enjoys theirs today!
 
My standard FedEx shipping switched from the 10th to the 11th last night. No big deal, still ahead of listed expectation but it won’t be a launch delivery.
 
Just came back from Houston memorial city store, here's what they said - they won't actually get any for walk in sales until June, but you can order online for delivery or in store pick-up any time.

This seems to be a strange rollout to say the least (if what I was told is true).

Take all this with a grain of salt.

If anybody finds any in store for walk in purchase, please report back.

I went in store. No stock. In fact, the girl I spoke to didn't seem to have much knowledge of the product at all, didn't know when they'd have stock, and told me "ordering online would probably be my best bet."

Not an encouraging launch for a product about which I'm very excited.

Here is the mistake guys... we all wanted and expected this launch to be like other high profile launches but this is a BEATS product. If Apple valued it the same they would have made it white and made it an Apple product.

Actually, the problem is Apple made it feel like a Apple product made for Beats. Apple made it seem like this was an Apple product not a Beats. The other products that Beats made before under Apple just seem like Beats products that Apple may have tinkered a little with.
 
Got my shipping notice yesterday. Said I'd get them today. Today it says I'll get them tomorrow.
