Now it's a December ship date? Not to complain too much, but I placed an order on Sept. 18 (probably too late). The original ship date Amazon gave was early October. Then it was moved down to early November.Today I got an e-mail asking me to approve of yet another new ship date: early December. Somewhat upsetting. These really ARE selling like hotcakes.

Try ordering it from apple.com or go to the store. Yes you have to pay tax, but you'll get it faster. I ordered mine on Oct 30. and am supposed to get it by Nov 7. It's a lot faster and you can get the free engraving

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.

Thanks Amazon! Mine just arrived half an hour ago (today, Nov. 6).Beats that frightening mid-December ship date initially expected.

I placed an order at Amazon for the new iPod Shuffle back in September as well.Last week, I got a notification about another delay, and it would be shipping November 16. I'm Amazon Prime, so I thought, I'd spring $3.99 to upgrade to one-day shipping so that at least I'd have it that weekend. When I did, Amazon told me it would ship on November 30. So I changed it back to 2-day, and it said it would ship in early December.Needless to say, I cancelled the order with Amazon. Placed an order on the Apple store late on Thursday November 2. Shipped from China on November 3. Arrived on Monday November 6.I love the new shuffle ... great for running and exercise ... I've already run over 20 miles with it!

I ordered my from Amazon last week and got it today, you should probably buy it soon if it is for Christmas but don't worry about not getting it until after then.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

I just ordered mine from apple.com. Free shipping, free engraving, in stock.

I just checked bestbuy.com and they have the Shuffle for $75.99 and it's supposed to ship within one day. Costs a little more but you'd get it faster.

I have ordered this, and Amazon estimates Feb 26 for the ship date. As this looks like a pretty sweet product from a good, trusted brand, I'd imagine a lot of people have ordered, so I hope they won't go out of stock on me.

Wow, you're lucky Wilson! I purchased mine just a litte after you--early Thursday morning--and they gave me an estimated shipping date of July 24! I'm hoping that's just a date they picked kind of as a "place holder" until they got a better idea of when they would be getting more in, but we'll see...

I ordered today with prime and two day shipping, but now it said expected delivery is Nov 12th...not cool. I need to figure out whats going on because it says in stock and fulfilled by amazon. Please let me know if there are any more details i'm missing!

Same here. I pre-ordered on September 17th and still don't have a ship date. I have always had good luck pre-ordering things in the past. I have actually received an item or two before the official release date. I was hoping UPS would surprise me with a delivery today...

I preordered this last month and since I'm a prime member, I selected 2 day shipping. Just got an email last night from Amazon informing me I'll get it on release day. So, what you may have to do is go back into your order and update your shipping preference. But you CAN get it on release day.
2167101
That USED to be the case with preorders on Amazon (arriving on release day). However, at least in my experiences that last few years, they seem to just ship them on release day. They want you to pay for the faster shipping options. If you choose standard or free shipping I don't think you'll get it on release day. Choose a faster method and you should.

LOL, just as I read this, I received an e-mail not more than three minutes ago from Amazon. Delivery date of 29 November. Edit: delivered yesterday.

Same here, but showing me a shipping date of 1/21 through 2/2. I here sometime Amazon beats there estimated date, but nothing so far to indicate that will happen at this time.

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

I don't know why that happened. Amazon sells and ships these items directly. You can go into your amazon account and get the tracking number and that should tell you exactly when. Michael Spa Source

I'm pretty sure when Amazon says it takes 2 to 4 months to ship, it means that their out of stock.. I've had things on my wish list waiting for the price to drop, and that normally ship Prime in 2 days. When they sell the quantity they have, that's when you see them put the ships in 2 months up.. That's Just what I've noticed.. Hope this helps..

Hee hee. I know how you feel, I watched pleo with a Dec 18 ship date for a couple weeks while I shopped around seeing if I could find one for less that was immediately available. Over a week before the ship time, I ordered, then called on the 18th asking some VERY NICE (but not particularly knowledgable) CSR in India who told me it would arrive on the 19th as scheduled. I called back that day (the 19th), and they said "I'm still vely soory sire, but the day is not yet concluded, if you do not receive it today, you may check on why this is exactly so tomorrow." Then I found out folks who ordered from Amazon after me, INCLUDING the day before, got theirs the next day. Anyway, etoys came through with a free 3-foot stocking and free overnight shipping. Back to the "Hee - hee" -- I'm pretty darn sure that Mr. B had nothing to do with it. In fact, as a customer with hundreds and hundreds of purchases from his interesting and innovative product-delivery system, this is the very first time Amazon hasn't MORE THAN exceeded my expectations. I would guess that the anticipated quantity was not sent by Ugobe to Amazon. Hey, maybe etoys got Amazon's delivery instead of them! And yeah, Best Buy's pretty good too. But it's about 1 purchase to every 20 that I make on Amazon.

I don't think its Amazon's fault for the shipping issue. I called customer care with Amazon and they explained that Nokia has been backordered with this product and they are waiting for more to arrive. My delivery date was suppose to be 6/8 thru 6/18. Most likely they will get a shipment on 6/25 like the page says. I also preordered an N97 from nokiausa.com, and that order has NOT been shipped also. I plan on rejecting my nokiausa.com order (so much for preorder), but they will not let me cancel the order. So I have to wait until it arrives to refuse the shipment for me to get my money back...very disappointed in Nokia. Btw, not to burst anyone's bubbles...there are quite a few bugs on the current firmware posted online. Nokia may be rectifying these issues before their next shipment comes out...but who knows...

I placed my order as soon as Amazon had it available as 'Pre-Order'. When the order was placed, my order status was "Not Yet Shipped". As of Thursday, the status has changed to "Shipping Soon"Don't know if that helps, just FYI :)Edit: my order just changed to "shipped" and will arrive Monday!

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

I placed my order on December 6. It said 1 to 2 months shipping, however, the shipper called me in a week to schedule delivery... Doesn't make sense to me, but it's being delivered December 17. Sounds good to me....
