It's been officially 4 weeks now for me since I ordered the thermal pads, status is still "Awaiting Shipment".
Thanks EVGA for the 'excellent' support...
 
I hope at least European customers won't be affected by the Thanksgiving holidays.

Have been waiting for 2-3 weeks now. Australian user. :(

mine says shipped on 11/2/2016 and then says may take 1-2 weeks to receive. still nothing here yet..

Same situation, I hope that tomorrow I will finally have my package.

Got order confirmation for thermal pads on the 25th of October - but still awaiting shipment. Ordered the free PowerLink on the 5th of October and still waiting for the email with payment details..
 
In the mean time, I have watercooled my GTX 1080 FTW with EK-GTX FTW1080 waterblock and pre-fill for EK-XLC Predator 280 QDC AIO. Using EK-Waterblock thermal pads. Got sick and tired of waiting for months (my estimate) to fix what appears to be a simple production error.

You should request EVGA to reimburse you for your troubles, and I am serious here. We have out of spec cards with inefficient VRM/possible vRAM and increased noise levels due to new vBIOS fan curve, you were forced to fix it yourself, I would want compensation for my time and money from EVGA if I were you.

where do you check the status "Awaiting shipment"?

Pads finally came in last week. Took about 3 weeks to come in. I actually got my PowerLink in before the pads and I put in for the pads almost a week earlier

Scroll down right to the bottom, you need to be logged in.

I received mine last night, I also signed up when they announced the whole thing. They are a bit different than what it was shown on early videos...now we have 3 more strips for the vram as well and the thermal paste comes in a plastic little case. The process is straight forward and it is not hard to do. 
That said, the led connector on my card was pain in the butt! It took me 15 min to unplug this sucker...I don't know what was wrong but it wouldn't move...I did it and did the mod and then my led's stopped working, had to wiggle and re-plug it to make them work again...be careful with the led plug(the little one) it is fragile and extremely hard to unplug.
 
But I am glad I did it...after the mod my core temps went down 6C. Awesome!
