My order is now in transit with TNT Netherlands!
Hey, I ordered from the German store, and mine's also with TNT, but I can't find the right tracking number. Do you think you could show me the format it is in, e.g. AAA11111 or A111A11AA or whatever? And where did you enter your tracking number? Thanks.
Seems like most overnight things have to be shipped at or around 5pm for them to make it there by the next day.
I'm speaking from experience with Amazon, where it says "order in the next 5 hours and get it tomorrow" - that's usually 5/6pm I think.
I just wanna know why other people's are shipping and mine hasn't

You'd think that, but they say 5ish PM to make their lives easier. It's more convenient to have the last shipment of "Overnighters" sent out by 5PM then have many all night long.
Apple doesn't do this. Example, my Snow Leo copy was shipped at 3:14 AM today and as of 2:04PM, its in Transit to New Orleans
.So, hang on there. You will get your copy.
I'm getting nervous, my copy hasn't shipped yet.
I'm on the same boat. I don't think Apple can really ship my copy under 1 day to Canada! I really hope it is shipped by the end of today.
Well my order "shipped" this morning via Purolator, and after punching in my tracking # all day and it coming up with nothing I decided to phone them. Apparently if it's coming from the US (which it looks like it is), it goes with UPS until it enters Canada, and then Purolator takes it the rest of the way.. BAD news for us Canadians if this is true. UPS will strap it on a donkey from Cupertino
i think most copies from the northeast haven't been shipped yet.
im in CT and mine says prepared for shipment still. hopefully it'll ship soon.

I hope you're right

Im in Austin, and my up-to-date copy still has not even been prepared for shipment. I thought they were delivering by the 28th?

Are you from the East coast or West coast? I'm from the B.C
just logged in and it shows it has shipped via Purolator, but no email stating that it has been shipped. hope it comes over night???
Just called Apple. For US customers who bought the UTD version:
Me: I want to check the status of my UTD order.
Apple: ALL orders will arrive tomorrow.
Me: Well, I noticed a lot of the single user and family user orders have already been shipped, but none of the UTD orders have been marked.
Apple: We were told that ALL orders will arrive tomorrow, including the UTD orders. It's possible for the order to ship and arrive on the same day. Also, you may be close to a shipment warehouse.
Me: Ok thank you.

Got my email this morning.
Shipped on: Aug 27, 2009 via PUROLATOR COURIER, LTD
It gives me a tracking number, and when I plug it into Purolator it says I need to call in to get the status.
You when I called in the lady said that the order has been processed, but hasn't been picked up by Purolator yet. She said that Apple normally does a large batch with one number, and when the truck comes to pick up the packages, it's at that point that I get a real tracking number.
So it looks like mine will be shipping tomorrow. I'm kind of anxious for this though. Think I can go to the apple store in West Ed, buy the box (assuming it's in the stores tomorrow), then return the box I receive in the mail??
