In a last ditch effort to speed up my receipt of my KV, I tried to change my shipping speed via CS after making certain she understood I didn't want to lose my current place in line. I'm not due to receive it until 10/29. She was wonderful, but couldn't really help except to place a note that I want it as soon as it's available, will happily pay for one day shipping if Amazon finds that pallet of wifi Voyages they have stashed in the back of the warehouse that are reserved for "important people", and can get it to me on release day.
No serial # for mine either. No shipping soon, etc.
ETA - not saying I'm important, but that I'm sure they have some stashed (like Area 51).
