Now it's a December ship date? Not to complain too much, but I placed an order on Sept. 18 (probably too late). The original ship date Amazon gave was early October. Then it was moved down to early November.Today I got an e-mail asking me to approve of yet another new ship date: early December. Somewhat upsetting. These really ARE selling like hotcakes.

Try ordering it from apple.com or go to the store. Yes you have to pay tax, but you'll get it faster. I ordered mine on Oct 30. and am supposed to get it by Nov 7. It's a lot faster and you can get the free engraving

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.

Thanks Amazon! Mine just arrived half an hour ago (today, Nov. 6).Beats that frightening mid-December ship date initially expected.

I placed an order at Amazon for the new iPod Shuffle back in September as well.Last week, I got a notification about another delay, and it would be shipping November 16. I'm Amazon Prime, so I thought, I'd spring $3.99 to upgrade to one-day shipping so that at least I'd have it that weekend. When I did, Amazon told me it would ship on November 30. So I changed it back to 2-day, and it said it would ship in early December.Needless to say, I cancelled the order with Amazon. Placed an order on the Apple store late on Thursday November 2. Shipped from China on November 3. Arrived on Monday November 6.I love the new shuffle ... great for running and exercise ... I've already run over 20 miles with it!

I ordered my from Amazon last week and got it today, you should probably buy it soon if it is for Christmas but don't worry about not getting it until after then.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

I just ordered mine from apple.com. Free shipping, free engraving, in stock.

I just checked bestbuy.com and they have the Shuffle for $75.99 and it's supposed to ship within one day. Costs a little more but you'd get it faster.

I can't believe Amazons shipping either. Its like its coming from China or something. I ordered an available item and it says my item will not ship until 6 days from now. My first time shopping with Amazon. Sucks! Got the Kindle. I felt so excited to get it but now I feel angered about the shipping. How is it that everyone else is so proficient at shipping? I DO NOT understand all the hype about http://amazon.com. I will definitely reek to everyone about how long items take and recommend other internet shopping.

I placed my order as soon as Amazon had it available as 'Pre-Order'. When the order was placed, my order status was "Not Yet Shipped". As of Thursday, the status has changed to "Shipping Soon" Don't know if that helps, just FYI :) Edit: my order just changed to "shipped" and will arrive Monday!

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered. Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

I got my order yesterday (5/4/2015). They are 9/2015 and 12/2015. Be careful!

FOUL, FOUL Foul....I ordered mine on October 19, and am still waiting for it to ship...Brooke, as soon as you get your package please forward it to me. Amazon made a mistake. That one is MINE, MINE , MINE......Sorry. Just had to vent.

That USED to be the case with preorders on Amazon (arriving on release day). However, at least in my experiences that last few years, they seem to just ship them on release day. They want you to pay for the faster shipping options. If you choose standard or free shipping I don't think you'll get it on release day. Choose a faster method and you should.

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

I purchased my unit on Sept 13th, and it got shipped earlier this evening(Sept 15th). This albeit the fact that amazon still reports this product in "pre-order" mode. I anticipate receiving the product Sept 19th. Hopefully will post a review soon.

amazon generally overshoots their estimated delivery dates. most times i've found things to arrive anywhere from 3-5 sooner than the projected time frame (if you used the super saver/standard shipping method). either way, i think the question has been answered

Wow, you're lucky Wilson! I purchased mine just a litte after you--early Thursday morning--and they gave me an estimated shipping date of July 24! I'm hoping that's just a date they picked kind of as a "place holder" until they got a better idea of when they would be getting more in, but we'll see...

Just spoke with an Amazon rep and he seemed to know exactly what was going on. He said they expect to receive a batch of them at the end of September (and ship 1st week of October) and then another at the end of October (and ship the 1st week of November).I asked him about quantities ordered and if he thought they would be able to fill orders that were placed about 2 weeks ago. He said it is probable since Amazon's buyers have been watching the popularity of this product and likely ordered enough to cover the pre-orders.I feel better because the September date goes along with what another Amazon rep told me last week.

Hello Mr. Barrow, As you probably know, Amazon auto-calculates the estimated delivery date depending on an individual seller's settings. That being said, as a Seller, I have seen Amazon extend delivery dates during the holiday season, but other than that, I am not aware of any reason why you would've been given an estimated delivery date of 12/19 for a "Prime" order. I would recommend contacting the individual Seller from whom you ordered should you wish further explanation.
