Mine said still awaiting shipment on the 15th of November. Then I got this in an email this morning....

 

Not to complain to much about the thermal pads, but whats happening with it ?
Are all of the thermal pads being used on new stuck cards, so people that have a card and are waiting on them have to wait even longer ?

 
Now since it have been "approved" for many days now and still says "Awaiting Shipment" I think that an update and so info on when people are getting
the pads, so they can play abit more "save" and dont be to afraid to lite an fire inside the case.

Well I opened a ticket, the response:
 
Hello,

jjahvoSo please give us EU customers some information about the shipping ETA.

According to the EVGA support they started shipping to EU customers this week and they said I can expect mine to be shipped until next week. So I guess it's the same for you and we can expect them to be delivered sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I am from Germany and my status recently changed from "awaiting shipment" to "request shipped 11/17/2016. therefore I suppose the support`s statement is reliable.
 
Will there appear a tracking number next to the "request shiped" status when the parcel is handed over to the carrier?

iam waiting...
 
... ist that the good service which i heard around the world?
 
iam waiting since oct. 27 for my pads which has been forgotten to be applied in the factory. i would mount it by myself, but i dont have them. 
 
there are also no information exept from the other users, that the pads will come delayed...
 
perfect service!

Mine says shipped November 2. Today is November 18. Still nothing.

Wow! I guess I have a project when I get off work.....
 

i checked today again, my pads has been shipped yesterday. Request Shipped 11/17/2016 (Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery).

Damn it's frustrating seeing people who requested pads just over a week ago, getting them before people who requested on day one. 

I requested mine on the 24th of October. It took this long to get them. VRAM pads included. I think they had to wait for those to ship everything out.
