Mine did at like 2 this afternoon. Learned my lesson, never pre-ordering anything from Amazon again.
Nope, just a regular preorder. Amazon.ca preorder hasn't even shipped yet, how am I this unlucky?

Mine is still preparing for shipment. I had a CSR guarantee that it would ship today because it was a launch day console, but today isn't getting any younger.

Can you be more specific as to what the issue is?
Mine shipped this morning, got a tracking number at about lunch time. But it hasn't updated at ALL since 9:45am saying in transit.
It certainly doesn't take 11 hours to get from Missisauga to London. Would love an update, UPS.
Hoping it hits london tonight and maybe they'll let me pick it up from the depot tomorrow.
EDIT:
Fuuuuuuuuuuucccxkkkkk Aaammmmaaazooonnn
Just updated with an ORIGIN SCAN at 7:45pm. Seriously they didn't actually ship it until now?
Says item received from carrier. Concord ON at 7:44pm

Mine was preparing shipping this afternoon around 3pm. Then I cancelled it. Crazy how bad amazon.ca is compared to amazon.com

Damnit I know exactly the building too, just drop it off here. I'm literally steps away from the building!
EDIT: FUCK
Aright, I'm done checking for the weekend, time to go get some fresh air or something.
To be fair it could be Canada Post that messed it up - it sounds like BB/FS gave them all the consoles 3-4 days ago and told them to deliver them Friday, and then CP planned the shipping around that and messed it up in several cases (some got delivered early, some are going to be late, etc.).

Well then they should have used a more reliable delivery service.
Nah man I called Canada Post they haven't even received my package yet and they made it clear they haven't. They don't even have it to ship out and they won't till Monday that's why its coming on Tuesday. I just wanted to vent I'm over it there is nothing I can do but wait till it arrives.

Amazon.ca has been preparing my shipment since this morning, horrible. :/
The CS on chat says it will ship by the end of today a few hours ago but still nothing yet.

If it's anything like my order it will have already gone out to UPS and be on the way but your status won't be updated for hours.
It was that way with mine.

So off topic from all the PS4 drama, but Aquapazza shipped from Best Buy!
The sad part is that I'm looking forward that to more than any of the next gen shooters.

Get the tracking number and use UPS's own tracking instead, it updates faster than the Amazon site.

I just spoke to someone on the phone, and they told me that the fulfillment centers go until 10PM PST, and given the amount of orders, will likely go later than that as well. Couldn't give me much information outside of that.

That's early! I was thinking about picking it up, wonder if any physical stores have broken street date.
Yep, called in to best buy and told them they charged me days ago but he says they "authorized them days ago but they're in the process of capturing the funds and packing up my console". It's bloody 9PM and it hasn't even shipped yet, what a clusterfuck.
Amazon.ca still hasn't shipped either, good thing I stayed home today for nothing
Yup I know, been using it.

Your package has left Amazon facility and is in transit (Updated 1 minute(s) ago)

Is there even still stock at Walmart?
It just baffles me how all these retailers could fuck up this launch so badly. Online shopping is nothing new and for such a big product launch they have managed to turn it into a complete clusterfuck.
I still have no idea what benefit there was to that supposed special gamers club inventory. Sweet F. A. apparently.
Only silver lining is maybe some of the PSN issues getting ironed out. But I'd rather be playing Resogun than waiting.

Mine says it's being held at a facility in order to verify my address, is that what yours says?
Mine is being delivered to the office too. But I'm hoping I can intercept before Monday.

Weekend delivery? Hmmm....
Do they mean the GTA or just Toronto

I dunno, I looked and found on twitter... Sucks no Calgary :\
Whaaat? That would be sweet, if only I actually thought it had shipped
Well I know a few companies have been taking a lot of slack, but I must say I'm very impressed with Future Shop. Arrived today without a hitch (except that my roommate didn't realize CP was coming), so he is playing his PS4 and I pick mine up tomorrow around lunchtime about a 2 minute walk from my condo. Overall still a happy camper.

If you ever want to increase your self confidence by playing with someone who is really shitty at games, feel free to add me!

Yeah, this was the first time I became aware of this-- I've raised the concern with our marketplace ops, next shipment shouldn't have this problem. I was just as concerned myself as my PS4 was delivered today from shop.ca as well.
There were cancellations that we put back up on the site between 11am and noon or so, we only had a handful that sold out super quickly.
I've been adamant that we haven't been prepared for the support request levels that we've had since the October 24th promotion. We're in the process of doubling our support team-- there have been some new hires, but they'll take time to get up to speed and we still are actively looking to hire several more people. It's not acceptable to wait more than a couple of days for a support request, it's why several people in our company have taken it upon ourselves to do support requests on their own time to chip in.
Also about the prices-- there are some issues in the video games section with price not being dropped on older items when MSRP has been dropped. I'll be looking to address that after we get through the next-gen hell. That being said, I think our other prices are like any other retailer. It varies. And yet we still have the 20% ebates cashback going, so we do have some great deals. I mean, the fact that RFD gets littered with new shop.ca threads every little while shows that people are finding there are some good deals. I'm hoping we can increase our breadth of stuff we carry though... once we get a full on pre-order system going I think we'll be in a way better position to offer most video games on the market.
We're a relatively new company of 35 or so odd people, We're still just starting up and these are part of the growing pains unfortunately. But we are dedicated to having great customer service. And we're a small enough company that you can consider me official support
. I just don't have access to process cancellations/refunds, but I can look at an order and try to figure out an issue you're having for sure.Hey, sorry you can't get through, but once again, you can contact me about any issues. I'm one of the guys who is pushing our company to go heavy on video games, so I am more than happy to help any of our customers here. Is it that you're still wondering if it comes with the $10 PSN voucher? I can confirm it does. The box itself is literally the exact same PS4 box that everyone else is getting. It just comes in a bigger brown box which also has Killzone and a Dualshock 4 in it (and in your case it would be PS Plus instead of the DS4).
I'd also like to point out that we actually came through for our customers and started shipping out PS4's last night. How the hell did amazon let us beat them in getting PS4's to our customers?
