I'm pretty certain that during at least Monday, the Apple Store's banner ad stated, "pre-order for Delivery August 28, 2009"

yeah it did for US orders, i'm guessing now they gone past that point.

But still doesnt change the international situation. ;)

I spoke with an Apple chat rep who said that "no Snow Leopard orders have been shipped yet". I asked him if he was referring to UTD or all orders, he said all orders.

Prepared for shipment :)

I saw the stuff on their website about needing to have a signature, but you can login to your Apple account once the tracking # is up there and should be a link to "pre-sign" for the shipment.

Can't wait :)

Prepared for shipment on mine.

For those of you with an iPhone, there is a version of Delivery Status for it, although no push notifications yet (now that would rock).

I order from the Canadian apple store (online), and it says prepared for shipment, but it also says ships by august 28th not delivered by august 28th. I ordered mine on Monday, is anyone else seeing somthing similar? (if you ordered from the canadian store) Also do you think I will get SL on Friday? Thanks

Ordered mine as well on the Canadian Store... Hope to receive it on Friday. It was the case when I ordered Leopard two years ago, received it same day as release. For now, on "prepared for shipment"

Snow Leopard - Order shipped! (uk)

Order Shipped


Dear yetanotherdave

We are pleased to advise you that your Apple Store order W*******has been dispatched by mail and will be delivered to your shipping address.

The expected postal time for your order is 3 business days. This is an estimated lead time only and may vary slightly. As your order is being delivered by post there is no tracking available.

Please allow 3-4 days to receive your Invoice. Please note, your Invoice will be sent to you by e-mail and is not included with your delivery.

Woo! Yay! But 3-4 days? In theory royal mail should have it to me on Friday, as post is usually next day, I guess apple are covering themselves, at least I hope so!

Anyone from the States have their orders shipped yet? Peeps on Twitter are starting to report that it's shipping.

Since it's almost 7PM in California, I'm guessing any picked up shipments are now being scanned in at the FedEx facility near Cupertino.

UK user - still prepared for shipment. - According to US store - UK store isn't so good to tell the news.

Although Amazon have dropped their prices! ...$5 in the US - but only £1 in the UK - seriously?? a pound....with exchange rates taken into account UK users are already spending a fair bit more before the reductions.

Fingers crossed for friday delivery...first time ordered something for release date for apple...lets hope the experience is a good one.

Hi. I ordered mac os x snow leopard earlier on today. It said in an email from apple tht if I ordered before 11:59 tonight it would be at my door on the 28th. Now on my order page it is sayig 3-5 days for shipping. When will it come now? And if apple said it would be here the 28th it's not fair that now it won't be. Please help.

If its posted by first class, which I suspect it may be, then you may even get it as early as tomorrow morning.
