I have one on order too...hopefully they get them in stock around the same time. Ordered from them b/c of prime shipping, and 3% back on the Amazon credit card. Otherwise, I'd have ordered from Apple.

Just e-mailed Amazon.. the fact that it's now gone from their inventory is troubling. I wanted to save on tax, but now I might just order from Apple..

It is odd. Earlier this week it said "Sign up to be notified..." when it's available. But even that is gone now.

I still show the alert in my account, but who knows if I'll actually be emailed. 9 times out of 10 in the past, I never get emailed.
 
Mine too!

I'm using a debit card and it was authorized yesterday Sept 22nd.

Still not showing any signs of shipping yet.:rolleyes:
 
Just received the following email from Apple:

Hope it's still here by next week. Either way, good to have the shipping charges back.
 
Something similar happened to the people who paid for iPhone rush shipping because apple used rush shipping for everyone in order to has the phones arrive the day that they were available in stores. I wonder if thats the case here or if there was simply a delay and everyone's will be later. Of course when you ordered an iPhone, it said "delivers by" rather than "ships".

Even if there is some kind of delay it wouldn't seem to make too much sense to refund rush shipping since you'd still get it sooner than anyone else unless they all get the rush shipping treatment, assuming they all ship the same day.

Which shipping did you choose?
 
I ordered on September 1st through the Apple Store iPhone app. I got an email confirmation from Apple that the order was received but haven't seen any activity on my credit card. Not then, not in the past few days. I got my iPhone 4.0 the day before the official release so I was kind of hoping I'd be the first on my block with this product.
 
Preordered a little after 7:45 on the 2nd and still no activity on my card or an update in the shipping information. Dratz... hoping I am not jinxed on this as I was with the iPhone 4 Preorder.
 
My card was charged yesterday! I didn't pay for rushed shipping as I kinda was thinking / hoping that pre sale orders would all ship at once and get delivered launch day.
 
I'm beginning to think that there's been a delay. With Amazon not even having it on sale and with the email above; it's getting worrysome.
 
I ordered mine on the first day and the £99 has been pre-authorised ever since, but this morning its finally been taken properly, so hopefully that's a good sign.
 
Usually in my experience the item is shipped or at LEAST in "prepared for shipment" state within 24 hours of my card being re-authorized and finally charged.

I wish we knew what the hold up was. :( I am getting so antsy. I sold my old Apple TV a few weeks ago now and I am just dying without it. :p
 
I love how everyone is excited to see their money go lol.

Can't say I'm any better, I can't wait to have my new apple tv! I ordered 2 from amazon, but have heard nothing yet, at least you all are starting to have things moving along...
 
I ordered expedited shipping on top of my order also. Yesterday, my account showed a charge for the ATV, and one for the shipping amount. Today the account only shows a charge for just the amount of the ATV. Maybe, and I'm not getting my hopes up, but maybe they are doing expedited shipping for everyone...
 
Yep my card was charged also. Sounds like they'll be shipping them out over the weekend and we'll be getting them next week.
