Interesting. Mine still shows a delivery date of 2/25 with one day shipping, wonder id I'll get it a day earlier now.

Dragoro · 02-23-2009, 09:51 AM

Yeah, Im wonderin the same, mine still says i get it on the 26th. Yet you can go to amazon right now, do next day, and get it tomorrow. Frustrating.

Someone at the amazon.com forums called the CS. CS said that all kindles will be sent out today and that they are still in process of catching up with updating the accounts on the web, but that they would be updated with correct information by end of the day.

BenG · 02-23-2009, 10:47 AM

My order still says Delivery on the 25th with one day shipping. I wonder if it's because I combined the order with the order for the Kindle cover.

Mr. Goodbar · 02-23-2009, 11:07 AM

I just checked the kindle page and it now indicates if you order within the next 7 hours you will receive it tomorrow with next day shipping.

AnemicOak · 02-23-2009, 11:14 AM

Mine now says it's shipped and has a S/N listed. UPS tracking says it'll arrive on the 25th. I hope that's a glitch since I paid for next day.

Dragoro · 02-23-2009, 11:22 AM

take the tracking number and go to the ups site to track it. Amazon's ups tracker is probably wrong. I ordered a bag from amazon. Amazon says i get it on thursday, UPS says i get it tomorrow.

Count me among those who have their Kindle shipped out today, showing UPS Next Day Saver, but with an estimated delivery date of 2/25. Status on UPS is still "Billing Information Received."

I'm guessing once it hits UPS and gets into their system, the delivery dates will be updated appropriately. At least I'm hoping that's not just wishful thinking.

peggynek · 02-23-2009, 11:36 AM

This is funny. Are you going to die in case it will arrive on Wednesday? :-)))))))

I'm still very happy with my Kindle: original recipe, but I am SO JEALOUS right now of you all getting your K2s in the next couple days. It's so exciting. Enjoy!!

Also, I saw Jeff Bezos on the Today show this morning, and I thought they still said tomorrow was the big day - interesting he didn't announce the change.

S.Canton · 02-23-2009, 09:46 PM

I'm glad to see these shipping out a bit early. A co-worker of mine excitedly told me that hers was shipped, and it seems like that's the case for a lot of people.
