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.
That what happened when I ordered a webcam it was the size of small book. Very small. The box Amazon put it in was huge! I'd say what a waste but my cats sure had fun playing in it.

The Kindle if by itself is a very small slim box. I am looking at my old one right now. It can fit in a regular mailbox.

Don Quixote Hi yes they give you an option to choose/try amazon locker. there are over a dozen her in the philadelphia area usually in a 7-11 convenience store. looks like a big vending machine that has doors on it. when you get your delivery notification you get a unique code to enter .

Awesome. Will be doing this. Would be perfect to not have wait around. Sounds like they deliver quickly too.

Mine went from Shipping Now to Preparing for Shipment. You'd think they could just combine those 2 statuses into one.

Mine just went through the same change. I agree they should just combine them into the same status really. It really feels like it's dragging out because I'm so overly anxious to get it! I'm sure mine will be delivered at the very end of the day too, right near 8 pm, just to torture me a little more. lol.

Still stuck on Shipping Now here and no serial#. Delivery date is supposed to be Wednesday, but seeing some early deliveries gives me hope that mine will arrive on time

I have a feeling the status means something more to them internally than it does to the customer.

I finally got my shipping notice, but it's scheduled for Thursday when I have 2 day shipping and it was originally scheduled for Wednesday
I hope the Thursday estimate is wrong and it will update to Wednesday since I won't be home that day to receive it.

It very well may be wrong. Finger crossed for you that it is and you receive it Wednesday.

Mine still says "preparing for shipment" on amazon.com, and there is still no s/n, but UPS sent me a tracking number. It was shipped on 9/30 from Ontario, CA! Should be here around lunch time tomorrow, which is the time that my UPS guys usually comes into my neighborhood.
So excited!!
