At least its on the way now with a tracking number. I presume that those, who paid extra for one day delivery, got it today by UPS.
Not in my case. I paid for one day delivery and it's supposed to be here tomorrow, but it still says shipping soon.

I've had it say "shipping soon" (as does mine) until mid-evening the night before. Very rarely has Amazon missed a delivery and that has been (as others have said) due to circumstances beyond their control.

My card shows a charge pending as of last night, and I have a Kindle listed, but no serial number. Order says "Preparing for Shipment" and my delivery date has shifted to Oct 3 by 8pm.

Yesterday it said Oct 2

The power adapter, on the other hand, is out on the UPS truck, which usually arrives around 6pm at my house.

Hmm, I did not know Amazon does this practice. 2-day shipping is meaningless to the end customer if the shipping date is a moving target.

I think it is because the USPS cannot be relied upon to fulfill their end of the delivery in a timely fashion. A CYA clause for Amazon, if you will. Amazon ships on time and FedEx is reliable enough to get the item to the USPS on time, but the USPS can sometimes move slower than a snail. Personally I wish Amazon would not use this type of shipping, but I guess it works most of the time.

The lesson for me here is pay for next day. It's a no brainer from this day forward.

That is true as I doubt Amazon would ever send a next day delivery via FedEx to USPS.

BTW, if you ever pay for 1-day delivery and it doesn't arrive in 1-day, just call Amazon and they will refund the shipping fee. I've had them refund it before I even called them on one occasion. They have really good customer care service.

Just shipped. Still Oct 1 (I paid the $3.99 Amazon Prime overnight charge when I ordered).

My original delivery date said Oct 2. Then the FEDEX site showed it as Oct 3 via Smart Post. Now there is no delivery date shown on FEDEX and they only say that the paperwork was received at 8:21 AM on Sep 30.

Thus, there is no way to know where the unit is coming from. I only know where the paper work came from.

So far it appears it could arrive any time from Oct 1 to Oct 3. It could well be in a "locker" near my house and they are awaiting the post office to pick it up.

Hopefully, Amazon stocked all their local warehouses with inventory to assure delivery by Oct. 2 where that date was promised. It still shows Oct. 2 at the Amazon site.

I have Prime and frequently have received one day deliveries without paying extra. Smart Post in my area sometimes arrives via the regular mail truck but frequently from a special USPS delivery truck.

When I ordered, I was given a choice to pick up at the "locker" whose address would be shown if I checked "yes." I declined that offer and opted for delivery to my house.

Mine has been stuck at "Shipping Now" all day. The $ has come out of my checking already. I am a little annoyed. Supposed to arrive on 10/1. We'll see.

Look outside your door. It may already be there. Frequently the USPS special truck arrives after dark and I only see it the next morning when I get the newspaper. They never ring the door bell.

I got all excited for a moment because a Kindle-sized UPS box showed up today.

It was the tiny little USB power adapter, in this huge box.

On the plus side, I now have a serial number, AND my ship date has moved back to Oct 2. Since UPS shows the box has left the PA warehouse, that is entirely feasible.
