Looks like those lucky enough to get their pre-orders in for Chromecast, when Dick Smith accidentally leaked the news that they would launch this week, are now receiving shipping confirmations for their orders.
Lucas Winstanley was just one such lucky person and has sent us a copy of his shipping confirmation.

We have seen both JB Hifi and Dick Smith stores confirming to customers they have stock, we just need to see where else will be selling them, and which content partners Google have gotten on-board for the Australian launch.
