Another lucky American
This camera was purchased from Pictureline in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This is the 24-105 f/4 IS kit.
On a side note, If you're in the market for a 24-105, they could be getting quite cheap over the next little while on ebay as prices adjust. I might actually pick one up.
UPDATE
Just an FYI in the savings for the 24-105 f/4 IS. If bought in the kit, it costs retailers $408 less (In Canada). I imagine retailers will start to build up a stock of them as people just want bodies only. You can find unboxed 17-85's from kits a lot cheaper than the retail version.

I was at Ritz Camera in Redmond, WA this morning. The guy at the store told me that they’ll receive their shipment in 10 days. Currently, there are more pre-orders of the body only packaged item than what they expect Canon will deliver. They also expect Canon will ship out more kit lens packaged items then what they have in the pre-order list.
Has anybody seen a shipment from Amazon? I pre-ordered there almost immediately after the announcement, but I think Canon is by-passing them complete. What a drag…
i got confirmation of shipment from amazon on saturday, arriving Monday.
i pre-ordered first thing after the announcement on 9/17.
B&H is now taking orders for just the body not the kit. They said that they are only able to take enough orders for the number that they have on their way to B&H from Canon. In other words the cameras are on their way to B&H and they know how many. I was told that the camera would ship out as early as Monday but as late as Friday. I found it interesting that they said the kit would not be available for another week or more. They said they put a number of orders in this morning and were just given the go ahead to allow ordering this morning.
Justin, if you ordered 9/17, you ordered on the second day. I ordered on 9/17 also, but in the evening. Maybe I get handled on the second shipment…
