If it doesn't ship tomorrow, can I change/cancel my order? (I want a different memory config)
I should note that I did try to change it this past week, but apparently it is "being prepared to be shipped" and thus, I can change nothing.

It sounds like if it hasn't shipped, you can change it. Why wait until tomorrow? Do it now, if you want to change it - but beware that it'll likely send you to the back of the queue if you make change to the config.

torifile,

I have tried to change it! But I get a message from the applestore website saying that my order is "being prepared to be shipped" and that in fact, I can NOT change/cancel it.
