Maybe all the bto's went out on same flight and all the rest will leave tomorrow at around the same time on next flight, unless they do a day and night, or something, what time is it in china?

Considering I got activity at 4:31 AM, 7:40 PM and 10:27 PM, it's safe to assume they're running multiple shifts.

The way I understood it, when the status reads "preparing to be shipped" it means apple (or it's factory workers) are getting it packed up, when it reads "prepared for shipping" that means that it's all set and waiting to be picked up by fedex, and when it reads "shipped" fedex has picked it up. I would imagine that fedex doesn't have a plane leaving every hour, so my guess is that they took first batch (non bto) and left the rest for next flight, so I was wondering if anyone is familiar with large scale international shipping through fedex enough to know how often they send flights and between what hours do they operate.
 
Interesting, my original ship date was Aug 23, delivery date Sep 3 - just received an email from Apple saying my order was shipped Aug 17 and will be here Aug 23! Stock quad.

Pretty awesome, except it shipped one day too soon so I'll end up having to clear my Visa off a whole month earlier than I intended to avoid interest, doh!
 
Just checked my credit card statement, it's been charged (not auth). Still no shipping update, but I'm expecting an update tomorrow (hopefully).

Ordered the hexacore + 5870 on Aug 13. Online status says shipping Aug 27, arrive Sep 1.

Yeh I have Aug 12, 26 and 30, hopefully will ship tomorrow
 
My hexacore is prepared for shipment :D (still says 24th for shipping though)

How exciting heheh..

And i just ordered 2x Dell U2311H monitors.. 15% discount...

Here's to hoping everything arrives at the same time with no issues ;)
 
12 x 2.66, 8GB, 5870, ordered on day 1 in the UK.

Prepared for Shipment :D:D:D

With the UK site currently saying 5-7 days for the quads and 8s but 2 weeks for the 12s I was worried there was a problem.

This worried me too. I think the 12 cores are a bit behind the others. Great to see on about to ship!

Me too! Six-core, email time stamped at the stroke of midnight. Tracking number and everything.

Its like Christmas!

Only fortunately it's not December.

It says "delivers by August 23", but I suspect they'll do better than that. If it's in Alaska Tuesday night it should be in California on Friday.

Edit: looks like a bunch of emails went out at midnight. They must have been waiting....
 
weird coincidence...

wow who would have thought we'd all get ours the same exact day?

Weird, my app says delivered by Thursday but the email said delivered by August 20th, which is Friday.... I hope its Thursday!!

Oh and for those who were wondering, my sentence was gonna be "Has any non BTO system shipped yet?"

Haha, weird timing :)
