Top tip - just checked mine on the US site...Prepared for Shipment 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
(gf says I'm like a kid on Xmas Eve 😛 )
aside from doing the pre-auth, have anyone that has gone to preparing to ship/shipped seen the money properly disappear from their banks?
Same for me but on the UK site my order would not let me cancel it so i think that might be an indicator that it is ready to ship as well
Yay, I ordered mine very quickly after the store first came back online, 32GB wifi only, no accessories, and it says it has shipped.
There is a tracking number on the site, looks like it is being shipped from China via TNT. I think there is some chance I may get it a day or two early, far from certain but not impossible.

Ah - I just did this too. UK store says "Not Yet Shipped", US store says "Prepare for Shipping".
Oh and assuming they are all coming from China via TNT, this is the page to put your 9-digit tracking number in to see your parcels progress:

Hi guys, my ipad says it has shipped on the uk site but if you go to the us site it actually allows me to track my package via TNT express.
Thanks for the update... 🙂
Yet another website for me to continually update at work when the boss aint lookin 😉

Good call on checking the US store. My order (16GB Wi-Fi) now shows 'Prepared for Shipment'. Order confirmation arrived at 10.55am on May 10th.
looks like US site is ahead 🙂
Swiss site says - not yet sent (i.e. no change)
US says - preparing for shipment (change recently)
(as others have said, you also lose the opportunity to cancel/change address)
ipad 64/3g, camera-kit, sim

Im also really not sure if Apple will bother holding them back till the 28th. Delivered by 28th implies it could be delivered sooner, and its not exactly the initial product launch date so they may not care quite so much about some people getting them earlier than 28th?
Looking at TNT shipping estimates from that part of China, depending on what service Apple have used, the ipads that have shipped today could arrive as early as Monday or as late as Thursday.
Im not going to get carried away but I think Thursday is a possibility.

My 64Gb 3G + Dock + O2 sim has gone to "Prepared for Shipping".
Order at 7.55 UK, confirmation 10.25 UK time.

I think you may have something.
I ordered at 12:08 GMT (32GB 3G + 32GB Wi-Fi) and my order status hasn't changed. 😱
Mind you, my email confirmation of order wasn't until 12:45 BST (over 11 and a half hours after the order was placed).
EDIT: Previous post which went up while I was writing mine relates to a 3G. Perhaps it is to do with time of confirmation.
Nope. Now the 3G ones are starting to show signs of life. Not mine though. So yep. Getting a little concerned.

Yes, I was slow composing my post and only saw that later.
I am now thinking that it is to do with time of order confirmation. The card I used has very stringent fraud protection and Apple may not have got approval in the middle of the night when I placed the order, hence the delay of over 11 hours for order confirmation.
Well my order was confirmed at 1.08AM on the 10th and has shipped earlier today so I guess that supports the theory.

Mine's Prepared for Shipment also, but just checked to see if any money has gone out and it hasn't. It is a Friday evening though so not all too surprising. It is so sad, yet so exciting!
Unlikely. Mine was ordered at midnight on the 10th (1am BST).
EDIT: just checked on the US store as somebody suggested and it does indeed say "Prepared for shipment". Went back to order status on the UK Business store and whilst it still just says "not yet shipped", the option to cancel is now greyed out and clicking it says I can't because my items are prepared for shipment.
Just to re-iterate, thats both my iPad and my new shiny MacBook Pro 15" (yes, double Apple toy whammy for me). 😛

Mine is not shipped yet. ordered May 10, 2010 at 01:40 AM GMT.
the only change on the page is the Cancel Items thing is now not blue, so i guess its not an option anymore. which hopefully means mine will ship tomorrow, or maybe monday. which should be in time for friday, i hope so, i used my last days holiday allowance in work to wait in 🙂
Ordered 32gb wifi and case

My order was 4:45am but I didn't get the confirmation message for another 9 hours. Mine hasn't moved to shipping yet although that widget mentioned earlier is really cool 🙂
Actually the store was open just before 1am, for the time shown on my order is May 9, 2010 at 11:57 PM GMT. I received confirmation email at 01:08AM BST.
