iPad mini iPad Mini Shipping Dates

FWIW, I ordered my daughter one on November 25th. The estimated shipping time was 2 weeks. It's scheduled to arrive on 12/5...

I ordered a 64Gb Mini, verizon, black on Nov 26.
I paid for 2 to 3 day shipping.


Order Date Nov 26.
Orginal Date was Dec 14th.
Shipped on Dec 1.
Projected Arrival Dec 5 4:30
In my hands 1 hour ago at 1:00 CST on Dec 3.


My personal suggestion though is to send it home, I would rather not have it a few days. Than not have it over xmas break

I think there's more of a wait with the 16GBs, I also ordered on the 26th for delivery on the 17th and mine is still processing.

You still have to wait?

I went to the apple store this week and got a mini. No ordering, no waiting. Just got it from the many sitting there.

Went back the next day for a question about our iPad 1 (getting rid of the 5G "other"? they wiped it) and saw mini after mini just waiting for sale. And then they carried out about a dozen more. Had my choice of color and size.

Same here. I originally ordered online and was mildly annoyed by the 2-week ship time. Went to the Apple store the next day and walked out with the exact model and color that I wanted (cancelled my online order, of course). They had a bunch at their express shopping table or whatever it's called -- granted, those were mostly the WiFi + cellular ones, so I guess you could luck out depending on which version you're looking to get.

My advice is to stop by your local Apple store (if you're close to one) and check out what they have in stock before placing an order online.

I ordered my 16G Verizon mini on Nov 29th (a thursday), and it arrived on Dec 3rd (a monday). I was really surprised. I'm still waiting for my Smart Cover to arrive!

Ordered white 16gb Mini on 11/25, two week ship

Ordered Black 16gb Wifi Nov. 17.

Original delivery date was December 11th.

Got it on November 30th ... and it's waiting to be opened December 25th.

Ordered on 11/23 scheduled to be delivered on on 12/6.
Which is about a week earlier than the date quoted during the order process

I ordered mine on 26/10/12 and its due to arrive on the 11/12/12 still not in England yet so no tracking information but I could buy one at the local shop now not pleased

I ordered on Nov 25 and had an expected delivery date of Dec 17. Just received a shipping notice this morning; Apple estimates Dec 10 but FedEx's tracking says Dec 7.

Ordered a white 16gb/wifi version on the 28th. Says deliver date 19 Dec.



UPDATE: Looks like my order was processed on December 7th and shipped from Shanghai, I should receive it on the 13th.
