Filled out the form to get my shipping packaging sent on 9/29 (late evening)
Got notice 9/30 that my packaging had shipped
Received said packaging on 10/1 (I think)
For a variety of reasons I didn't actually ship mine off till Tuesday Oct 11
Got email from Motorola on Wed Oct 12 that they had received it.
Got an email from Motorola in Monday Oct 17 that they had shipped it back to me
Received my package late morning Tuesday Oct 18 (today)
Looks like I am one of the lucky ones, device was gone for 7 days (5 business days) and since I received it on Tuesday that seems to shoot a hole in the theory that they are actually shipping these things on Tuesdays and no other day.
Package was 4 Lbs and had the free dock (too bad I already had one).
Tablet was well packaged in the same box I sent it out in along with a screen protector and an additional plastic bubble bag over the device itself.
Powered it on and the device powered up faster than in the past. It had the new OS already installed and a few minutes later I got the prompt to enable the SIM card. Didn't appear to require any time to activate because switching from WiFi to cellular network only took a few seconds.
I did manage to kill the battery today but then I was using it a lot more than I usually do (used to getting a day and a half to three days of life) so that's not necessarily indicative of how it will go from now on.
Good luck to the rest of you who are still waiting for yours to come back
