I woke up at 3AM AEST, when preorders were supposed to go live. Hit a 502 bad gateway page, which disappeared after refreshing 3 or 5 times. Put a playdate & cover into my cart, joined the queue -- which let me in to pay a bit under two minutes in. Tried to check out, was told they didn't ship to Australia: Already knew that was wrong, because their FAQ said they did. Refreshed, couldn't check out. Refreshed, couldn't check out. Tried the Apple Pay option that appeared for the first time on my third attempt, got "Try Again!" Eventually, after removing the cover and frantically smashing refresh a few more times, I got my order through for the "late 2021 batch". Not exactly a lovely experience, but it feels like Panic did what they could.
