I ordered mine from BestBuy and decided to pay extra for the fastest shipping. It was a Space Grey base model and will be here Tuesday.
 
I am so tempted to cancel my 1.3GHz version from Apple and order a 1.2GHz version from BB!
 
I too was able to get the packet at a DFW area post office and the 10% worked!!!! Thanks for the tips provided here folks, as I saved and will beat the May 15-27 Apple delivery date!

I used my ebay bucks to buy a coupon on ebay from a seller that promised instant response. 5 min later i had a coupon.

why are people going to the post office?

----------

can one even order the 1.3ghz option from bb?

I'd be tempted to think that bb could ship before spple could.

no

To save a couple bucks on buying it from eBay. You know the deal, someone will drive 20 minutes (each way) and potentially wait in line for 20 minutes and spend the money on gas, yet won't spend $2 on eBay for the coupon or $1.05 on the online address change page.

Question for you is why would you buy on eBay for more when it's $1.05 to get it from usps.com?
 
best buy.com is showing the 1.1/8/256 model in stock (in space gray and silver) however, their customer service rep told me they will not accept the movers coupon online - is that true?

not true. Just make sure your coupon can be used online.
I bought one in ebay and it arrived in minutes.
 
I bought the SG base model but still within the return window. Is there a major difference between the 1.1 and 1.2 besides the hard drive size? If there is I will place an order with Best Buy and return the 1.1.

You named the major difference. Other than the higher clocked cpu which you also mentioned.

In every day use I don't believe there is much difference in CPUs. This is a gen 1 product. If you don't need the storage the smart buy is the cheapest buy.
