A quick question for authors who have published via Smashwords' "Premium Catalog" before: If you are in the premium channel, have an ISBN, and your status for each distributor says "Not currently shipped. Will be shipped," is there usually any delay between when your book was approved and when your book will actually begin being shipped? Or does it take a while for the Channel Manager to update and accurately reflect which distributors have received the work?

(Asking because a couple of ship dates have passed since I was approved...)
