Status: Preparing for Shipment
Order placed: 1.30am Thu 8th
Delivers: March 16
Order: Black 64GB wifi + 4G
Accessories: No
As a Scot living in England, feel very sorry for those in all the parts of the UK that normally get next day European point to point courier delivery but who seem to have lost out in the suggested postcode demarcation. Looks much like the couriers are swamped and perhaps why the TV 3 shipping is being delayed until 16th- 19th?

Got my "Shipped" email too, (although I don't seem to be able to track it on the UPS website yet).
Me neither - may take a good few hours to propagate to TNT.
I used to use the apecode/appletrack site for up-to-date info but that's been offline for a few years now.
As of this morning...Still showing the 16th to 19th...And still on a mission to find a rear cover...I thought grabbing the same Griffin one I had for my 2 would be easy...Nope, they are not around yet.
Ordered 2
Shipped to Bristol today 10th March
Delivery date 16th March
Hoping it arrives before......
Surely UPS can't just hold on to it?
Or might Apple have a holding clause - so that they actually deliver it on the 16th? Hoping it comes on the 15th - my birthday

Local courier is TNT with delivery shown as 16th. If it is like the iPad 2 delivery route, it will eventually show Chine- Hong Kong- Europe- UK. Took about 5 days to reach Europe/ clear customs last time .....roll on the 16th!

Status changed for me about 10 mins ago from 'Processing' to 'Preparing for Shipment'

I'd guess Apple will have a holding clause with all carriers. Given how much business Apple can send them, it's probably wise they adhere. That said, early deliveries have been had but I'd suggest it's the exception rather than the norm for future business implications from an angry Apple.
Shipped 
Just had another look at my order status after the fear that I would receive a delayed email. Its shipped! Currently with Syncreon Parcel Delivery service.
I ordered a black 32gb wifi only model around 00:20am on Thursday morning and it's being delivered to East Sussex.
Unbelievably excited right now

Reading some of your posts, it looks like the majority have delivery dates of March 16 and are already starting to ship. Anyone with a Ships: by March 19? Mine still says 'Processing Items' and I ordered it on March 8th. Is it till early for that status to change? When can I expect 'Preparing for Shipment'?

Mine has been shipped with Syncreon, who I have never heard of. I don't recall ever seeing a van with that name on before, either. It's always been UPS in the past.
YAY!! but like steve-p above never heard of the delivery company before but searching on here they seem to be middle men: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1310776/
