Anyone getting a shipping date on their K3?

In the last few days the delivery option's also gone from Super-Saver, to First Class, to Expedited, all at no extra cost. Wonder what's going on.

My case rings bells with your case: order shifted from super saver to expedited at no extra cost and a delivery estimate of 27th--28th August 2010.
Nothing about reaching the dispatch stage though.
Odd!

Mine is in the air... It arrived in Indianapolis at 22:21, yesterday, and left louisville at 4:53...

No, I'm not updating the UPS site every 5 minutes (no need, as it'll take a few more hours before the plane lands )

Mine is bouncing around all over the place. First Indianapolis, then Louisville and now Philadelphia. My expected arrival date is August 27th but I don't see how that will happen if it still has to ship to Brussels and get through customs...

Hmm, mine went from Indianapolis to Louisville, it bounced around there for a bit, and in the meantime Drachten was contacted that they could expect my package. And now it's been quiet for a few hours (a bit more than 3 actually )...

It might be that the flights to Brussels go by way of Philadelphia and to Amsterdam direct from Louisville.

My K3 status has been stuck on Shipping Soon since yesterday.

However, my lighted case did ship but is currently in South Dakota for some reason. Maybe it decided to take a brief vacation to Mount Rushmore while waiting for my K3 to catch up with it?

I have been at "shipping soon" since last night. I ordered mine on 7/30. My bank was charged at 8:39pm yesterday. No e-mail yet. I have Prime and went with overnight shipping. I was hoping to get today but that looks like it is not going to happen...

Mine is "out for delivery" as of 4am this morning. I feel bad for those who ordered the first day but have yet to recieve their shipping notice. I just happen to be lucky to live so close to one of Amazon's distribution centers.

If anyone wants pictures/early review let me know and I'll post something this afternoon.

Ridiculous, isn't it? I'm doing the same...

For the last few hours it said: IN-TRANSIT FOR DELIVERY

I hope this means it's in the air but I'm not sure

I've started to dig...

My last time stamp was at 4:53; At 5:01 there was a plane that left to Cologne. It should arrive at 18:37 or so. So, I'll check tonight when I'm home again...

There was another plane that went from Louisville to Philadelphia (that one left at 5:09) and it will continue to Cologne, at 8:51 and it arrives at 21:49...

This has been such a productive workday.

My Kindle has now departed from Philadelphia. I hope the next thing I see is an arrival scan in Brussels.

Nope, Cologne. And from there by train or truck to Brussels, most likely. And it looks I'm ahead by 3 hours!

Oh, what time did it check out in Philadelphia? (just curious...)

Great work! I have the same departure scan:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 08/26/2010 4:53 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN

Let's hope our Kindles have boarded the first plane.

Won't make a lot of difference, probably, as they'll be moved to their final destination during the night anyway. And tomorrow in the delivery round!
