My UK Apple Store preorder (ordered on the day of the announcement) has changed to "Prepared for shipment".

Ooooh!
 
Just check my shipping status, it now reads preparing for shipment. I only placed my order here in the UK this week so all signs are good. I was going to cancel my order and go to a store. Guess I will wait now!

After the debacle with iPod Touches shipping in the UK after all the pre orders i'd like to think Apple can restore some faith by getting it to homes by Friday like they did with 10.3 and I believe 10.4 as well on the day of release :)
 
The latest updae for my order:

Mine says the same - Its odd why it aint given a SHIP DATE.... I ordered a hard drive, and it told me at this stage what day it was coming.

Maybe they set it like this to stop UK folks Cancelling?
 
What are the chances of Apple shipping all of them to Apple distributors in the area... then shipping them out from there the day before or day of but NOT updating your shipping status as it's going to the Apple distributor? That means it's on its way but you don't know... and it should make it here in time. I have been stuck on Prepared for Shipment for almost a week. I have doubts they'll get it here in 2 days all the way from California? lol

I expect that's exactly what's happened: My copy is "prepared for shipment" which I assume means it's sitting at the distributor waiting. It'll have to go out today for me to get it tomorrow, and furthermore it'll have to be sent from somewhere in NZ otherwise it'll take too long.
 
The latest Macrumors posting says some people have received their copies already!!

Yeah, but torrents and usenet don't count... :mad: I have yet to see an official "unboxing."

Mine hasn't shipped yet so I won't get it until Friday... and I'll go to the Apple store if I don't get it by 3:30!

Macrumors (I think) said they were official legal copies and even had unboxing photos!

You are chatting with Lori A, an Apple Expert
Hi, my name is Lori A. Welcome to Apple!
So i ordered the leapord ut disk
utd*
Hello
and was wondering if it indeed the FULL version of leapord meaning i can do a clean intstall and such and in the future it wouldn't be a problem to use again
How may I help you today?
You do get the full version.
and also when will it be shipped all UTD orders stil arn't shipped shouldn't we be recieving them on the 26th like everyone else
is it an upgrade only though that checks for tiger
Yes, by the 26th.
im mainly saying for the future if i had to reinstall the os
I understand.
You get the full version.
so delivery def. on the 26th?
Did you have any other questions?
even for the UTD VERSION?
That is what the web site says.
okay...
 
I live in the UK and my order has been shipped!!! :D

Hey, mine too! Just checked and it's on its way, although tracking is currently unavailable.

Fingers crossed for a delivery tomorrow!

Which would mean that I'd get it sometime during the day, BEFORE 6pm? So if you ordered early online (I ordered on day 1), then you'd actually have it before it was available to buy in the shops?
 
Another UK shipping conformation here.

So there is a chance I'll have it on the 26th - but based on the performance of the pack-snails that Apple have used in the past I'm inclined to beleive the "deliver by 30 Oct" bit in my order status...
