3 shipped, and 6 already delivered... My town only has 30,000 people, so hopefully one will show up on my doorstep. Does anyone know why some were shipped Overnight and some by Ground? More comprehensive tracker here (but w/o tracking numbers): http://addicted-gamer.com/cr48-tracker/

Any idea what the source of Addicted-Gamer's data is?

I can't be exactly sure, but it should be querying the UPS tracking API for reference numbers. These are assigned by the shipper (can be a description, customer name, or in this case sequential SKU blocks of 2000) so knowing the pattern would get you all of them.

Jey's guess (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1996388) would be mostly correct.

Maybe the first column contains the sender's reference number for the Cr48 packages? I.e., maybe someone generated this list by querying UPS using Google's UPS account number combined with knowledge of the format of the reference numbers (by looking at labels of delivered Cr48s)?

I played around with the reference numbers, and it seems like Google sent out 3 batches:

AAC1XXXXXX (up to AAC1001982)

AAC2XXXXXX (up to AAC2002127)

AAC3XXXXXX (up to AAC3002115)

All of these turn up 6 pound packages sent within the past few days, with the earliest being the 9th.
