Okay,
I learned my lesson. DON'T order a new product from Apple the day they are announced. I did. I ordered a 16GB purple Nano thinking I would save some time avoiding the drive to the Apple Store north of Fort Worth, TX. I surely didn't expect anyone else to have them so quickly.
WRONG!!!!!
My nano just shipped today (9/16/08) from Shenzen, China one week after it was announced. I can live with that. What I cannot live with is that all of my local Best Buys got them this weekend and even my University Bookstore got them in yesterday!!!!
I simply don't understand this. What is the point of ordering from Apple when the local stores get them first, especially considering I have to pay tax either way. I just bought a 16GB from my bookstore and will just send the other one back to Apple for a refund. To be truthful, I would have bought the blue Zune if it were to support East Asian fonts. It seems both companies seem to be doing a good job of screwing things up.

Large pre-planned shipment arrives before one-off on-demand shipment... duh?

You learn one way or another I guess.
Look on the bright side, at least you'll still be getting it

True, but I'm guessing that wasn't the situation here because lamewing was considering driving to the Apple Store to get one.
