Just tried to check my order status on the apple website. It says:
"We're sorry, but our Order Status services are extremely busy right now. Please try again later"
Could this mean that they are updating the shipping dates for all cellular orders?
Hmmm Mine says the same thing. First time I have seen this on apples site so maybe they are updating stuff. Lets hope
No dice. It's back up now and still says Mid-November.
December's doable provided none of us 'colonist' gets it in our heads to dump all the iPad mini's headed to England into Boston Harbormine also, but i note some of our colonists in the US are now posting that dates for the mini and ipad 4 lte seem to have slipped to end of November in another thread so if true I'm predicting early december now . As long as they arrive before 25th Dec I'm happy.
Just curious, what kind of data plans are you guys looking at?
This is just based on past experience, action on my credit card, and a discussion with Apple. In the past, the week that my ipad, iphone, etc. shipped, a minimal charge hit my card. That just happened this morning. In a chat with Apple Store, I asked the Apple Rep "with Thansgiving coming up here in the US, what is the likelyhood that orders will ship out for delivery that week." He told me that Apple is known for under promising and over delivering, however he could not guarantee anything. He said that he would think they would deliver the 3rd week of November, which would be next week.
Based on past experience, I would not be surprised to see something regarding shipping perhaps as early as tomorrow, with arrival by the 16th. Once again, this is just based on prior experience. I could be very wrong.
Mine too. Anyone know if we can request express shipping? I leave for the holiday that morning so need it by 11/20 so I can show off to family.
My Mini shipping just changed to this. (just copied and pasted it)
