Orders are starting to ship out and are on the way!!

All of my stuff (iPad, pencil, & keyboard) is now shown as “shipped” and I have three shipping confirmation e-mails from Apple. Everything is good to go for Wednesday!

I've still got preparing for dispatch, arrive by 7th November. My confidence is waning that I'll get it tomorrow. Anyone else got this?

You will get it tomorrow. "Preparing for dispatch" means it's already in transport. "Shipped" means it's already in the country and if talking about the US maybe even in your State.

Apple is always very conservative with their wording and estimations. Basically, they don't want you to believe it is shipped before they make sure you'll get it in time.
 
Now the next question for my wife and I, as well as anyone else in the Chicagoland area...will UPS load our orders on trucks and drive them here or will they wait until this time tomorrow morning and fly them on UPS606?
 
oooh, the money is now showing pending on my account, must be a good sign, movement
 
I got a text message from DHL half an hour ago, with tracking number for both iPad and Smart Keyboard, scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Kind of what I expected from earlier deliveries.

Nothing in the UK. Stuck on preparing for dispatch for a couple of days now.

I believe the Preparing For Dispatch means that it is on the way from China, so they are allocated and charged.

However, as the UK deliveries (at least mine) come via UK Mail, the Dispatched notification wont come until UK Mail pick up the parcel from Hinckley. Which is normally today ( the day before delivery)

Apple finally updated my order page. Now I think it has a glitch - says my IPP arrives Monday the 12th, but when I go to UPS says end of day 7th.

I'm like 99% sure apples site is wrong but still doesn't give me warm fuzzies

Mine has changed to shipment dispatched within the hour and I now have a DPD tracking number. It's happening people!!
