More likely many people have cancelled their pre-orders. All good if it means that you get yours sooner than expected though

In the UK the Voyage doesn't seem to be quite that popular as the website is still showing November 4th which is the launch date here. IIRC there was several weeks wait for those who hadn't pre-ordered the K3, PW1 and PW2 as soon as it was possible to do so.

Waiting for all your reviews before I decide whether I really want one or not (and also have to see if the devs can work their magic with this one)

I got an email from Amazon a couple of hours ago telling me my Voyage had shipped and will arrive on Tuesday. Then about 20 minutes ago I got one from UPS - my package has been scheduled for early delivery and will arrive by 8p Monday.
Wah! It's not the Voyage that's coming today - it's a cat bed!!

When I ordered it (the bed), they said guaranteed delivery 10/20. So when UPS sent an email saying my package originally scheduled to be delivered 10/21 was coming on 10/20, I automatically assumed it was the Voyage.

I think it's not so popular over here as it's quite expensive. We don't get the adds cheaper version and I don't think the 'payment plan' some US customers were offered is an option over here.

Me too! Magic or not, I'm for anything that gets it here quicker. I have my fingers crossed for Thursday - which would be a bump up to "release day" with 2-day shipping, based on my 10/29 date with the same.

Did you have 1-day or 2-day?

I have 2-day. I mistakenly typed in that I was getting it today, I edited that to say tomorrow. When you're retired it's hard to remember what day it is.

I have been home-based and self-employed since 2003. I used to know what day it was because my client work was due by Thursday. When that client went under I lost all track of time or day. I can work any day or time as long as the work is done by the due date - and it varies with the exception of 12/31, 1/31, and 3/31. That's the only time I know what day it is. I also have an "Aging Positronic Brain" (I like that).

just got shipping confirmation and it will be here tomorrow. My "manage devices" is also showing a serial number now. Hope UPS comes early tomorrow!

For reference, I pre-ordered the day it went live.

I thought about that one, too, due to the Price. Also, a lot of folks may have decided that with xmas around the corner they'd rather wait and ask for it as a gift.

There was another report of earlier shipping on the Kindle forum. Same situation - 10/29 2-day, bumped up to 10/22. I keeping clicking, but it's still not ticking.

It was me, I think. But it turns out that it's a cat bed that's coming today, not the Voyage, so I have to wait until tomorrow like everyone else!

I just got a text! My Voyage has shipped! It'll be here 10/22! Yay!!! Sorry, I'm a bit excited. (and this is without caffeine) I'll be going absolutely nuts now.
