The release date, at least in the UK, is September 2nd...but I totally know how frustrating it is when you're eagerly awaiting something and some people seem to have got it before you! That said, it does look increasingly like they're not going to manage it in time (I think I've occasionally seen them send things out on a Saturday to arrive on the Monday, though).
I think some retailers bend the rules slightly when it comes to sending things out in advance, no doubt knowing the record company would rather accept those thousands of sales rather than kick up a fuss about release dates. Why Amazon in the UK is following a different policy to Amazon in Germany, I don't know, though! It's possible it's a supply thing, it seemed like amazon.de didn't run out of stock in the way that amazon.co.uk did (or maybe I just missed that, I've not been keeping a close eye on it).
Of course, if they promised a release date delivery and don't deliver on that promise, it's worth reminding them that they're in breach of contract and seeing what you can get out of them!
