Just checked DHL, and my Apple TV is now moving in Belgium. Apple updated to say expected delivery is tomorrow. DHL thinks it will be delivered on Tuesday. Who would you trust?
Exactly the same with mine. I usually receive DHL shipments from Apple the next day, even when they ship in the evening, so I’m still hoping for tomorrow, but I guess it depends on timing of flights and capacity.
 
I ordered the moment pre-orders became active, and still just 'Preparing to Ship'. Sounds like I'll probably see a shipment notification soon though. Seattle area, hoping I'll get it at least sometime this weekend!
Same here. Got my order confirmation 4 minutes after pre-orders went active. Checking the Apple Store app, UPS, email, etc. every few minutes and still no change from “Preparing to ship”. SLC, UT. I was pretty patient till late yesterday, but I’ve passed frustration early this morning. Really need to see that “Shipped” notification.

Hey, I just got my shipment notification! Delivering tomorrow, May 21! Let's hope that holds true. I'd expect to get yours very soon as well :cool:
 
Ordered too 4 minutes after pre-orders went up according to the email receipt (got it at 8:04am eastern time so that means I ordered it probably before the 4 minute mark). Mine to is still preparing to ship. Who knows how apple goes through orders though, you would think it would be as received but it doesn't look like it.

Is it coming via UPS? In the past with Apple orders I've usually seen the shipment show up in the UPS app for me, but still nothing.

Yes, UPS for me. Maybe they're doing something different with the way they're setting up the labels this year. Interested to hear how yours plays out, I'd be surprised if it doesn't deliver tomorrow as well.
 
I checked the ups app and even tho I have may 21-27 and still preparing I got a second tracking number (the other my iPad) that’s slated for delivery tommorow . Next day from PA . I’m in MA

Had you been checking the UPS app earlier or was this the first time you checked it today? Whoever said "Patience is a virtue", clearly has never had to deal with Apple shipping/status updates.
 
I found this discussion forum just to see if it was expected that mine still showed preparing to ship.
While I've been here reading, I received a notification from UPS that I have a delivery scheduled for tomorrow.
Apple still shows preparing to ship but UPS will usually notify me first. I'm in NC. Ordered a couple of hours after it went on sale.
 
Well, Apple just sent me an email saying my Apple Care for the new Apple TV kicked in this morning. UPS still showing "Label created" and "Come back later for delivery details."

Those who have received your UPS shipping notification, what is the origination? Is it China or somewhere here in the US?
 
The saga continues!! Looks like will be coming via DHL although no tracking number yet but shows delivery date of 24th May 😡😡😡

I preordered within the first 2 mins. I’m going to be really pi$$ed if that’s the case. If it doesn’t change tomorrow, going to pick one up in store then return this.

I know it’s a silly thing in the grand scheme of things but Apples pre-ordering process has really been pants this time round
 
hmmm...my tracking details have been updated and the delivery date has changed from 21st to 24th. The tracking details also shows my ATV is currently in Hinckley, UK - only about 50 miles away from my address - so I'm hoping this will change back to 21st later today.

Exactly same as me. Really hoping for 21st.

If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I think I'll pick one up from Argos and just return the pre-order whenever it does arrive. What's the point of pre-ordering if it doesn't arrive at least as early as when it's available on the High Street??

mine shows the same on Apple, but if you click through to the actual tracking link (some jankity looking ‘syncreon’ site) the estimated date is still tomo

It was the "syncreon" site that was showing 24th...just refreshed it...back to the 21st....I'll stop moaning now :)

First time I checked today

Haha. Exactly the same!

Think they’re reading our comments and just playing with us… lol.

Just hope I get a tracking number soon so I feel a bit reassured.

Annoyingly the Apple page itself still says 27th May. really confusing if you had to take time off work to be home for the delivery. Thankfully I’m WFH
