I ordered at 3AM ET. There's a lot of dates in my header, but this is the closest to the :00 mark I see:

From: Apple Store <your_order_US@orders.apple.com>

Are you going to start the next 'My order got cancelled' thread?
 
How fast did you get two separate orders placed :D?


1st order:

Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 07:01:35 +0000 (GMT)
From: Apple Store <your_order_US@orders.apple.com>



2nd order:

Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 07:02:09 +0000 (GMT)
From: Apple Store <your_order_US@orders.apple.com>
 
10 Apr 2015 07:02:08 +0000 (GMT)

So 68 seconds after the 00:01 store opening. Ordered on the Apple App via iPad.

My email reply delivered at 1:04 MST. Had mine saved as a favorite and with Apple Pay the order was super quick.

All these Standard time zones—did all of you folks forget to set your clocks forward last month, or what?

On the other hand, it's impressive that you Standard-zone orderers got the advantageous shipping dates you did, given that you were logging on more than an hour after preordering went live....

Email header timestaps are based on the server's time.

Um—I don't think my post had anything to do with "email header timesta[m]ps." You seem to have missed the joke.
