NYC here. Badges were shipped out today, and will be arriving in approximately one business day according to the email. I opted for Priority Mail shipping as well.
Oh man, another email for me to stress about why I haven't received it yet.
And right before SDCC too. I'm beginning to think that I should skip cons and go spend the money on a vacation to Hawaii instead. It would sure be a lot less stressful. Get a room at a nice beachfront resort and sip drinks all day.

but where would you find giant lines to stand around in for 6 hours?

Certainly filling that void would be hard, but I think lounging in cabanas and feasting at luaus would be a good start. A relaxing day at the spa with a massage would also help.
Okay seriously why do we spend so much for PAX? These other vacations sound amazing and stress free.
I think in all my years I've gotten the shipping notice like once. Don't stress..only worry if you haven't seen your actual bobcats popping out of your mailbox by like 10th of August or so.

Even then, don't worry because PAX is good about replacing tickets that don't make it. I had that happen in 2011 and they replaced them with no hassle. If it does, just contact them beforehand and bring all the documentation they ask for.
I would not worry about anything regarding badges until maybe 10 days before the convention. Once at that point, if you are expecting badges and didn't receive any, shoot pax_questions@paxsite.com an email.
Got home and ripped open the envelope, only BYOC badges...I can't remember if the BYOC and PAX badges were shipped separately before.
Anyone remember?
I heard on Reddit that BYOC's typically go out first and this "holy crap they shipped early" thing happens every year. But it's also the actual badges this time too. Which implies they aren't worried about counterfeiters. I don't know if it's their goal, but getting badges out early may help drive the secondary market prices down. Traditionally they fall close to the show, when people have them in hand and have to move ones they thought the needed but don't. But that is also the time frame when people speculating on flipping badges for a profit have to move them or lose all their money. Demand is still way higher than supply, so we'll see how it goes.
It appears that smaller orders are being shipped first. My friend who barely got a Monday badge received the shipping email on 7/18. I ordered 4 badges for each day well before sellout and have nothing. Everyone I've spoken with who has shipping had a small order.
With that said, if you ordered the max amount of badges and got the shipping email let us know! =D
Quel ironico, the one year I mention I've never seen a shipping confirmation is the year I get one. I just ordered 4 Sat and 4 Sun out of Seattle/Tacoma area.

Arizona here. Received my 2 full sets on Monday. So far I've yet to see anyboy with 3 full days check in. Seem like it really was small orders that shipped first.

Ordered within the first 10-20 seconds, went directly to the store with no queue time at all.

no, still super early. As long as your order on the showclix site is still active I would not worry at all.

I spoke too soon, just got an email that my bobcats have shipped. I'm relieved.
