I got mine from Tekserve a few weeks ago. I ordered on a Monday around 2PM and had it on Tuesday at 11AM by UPS ground. ~20hrs from order to delivery isn't bad. :) I am less than 20 miles from them "across the border" in NJ. The ~$40 tax savings was nice too. :D

Just Placed a Order with them for a iPad 16 GB wifi Black.

They will ship it out once they get their order of Black ones in on either Monday or Tuesday.

Should get it by end of next week!!

Ouch--sorry to hear that! That's horrible. Surely you'll get it any day now.

As an update, I did get it that week. Inspected both Mimi's before gift wrapping them. Both were perfect even though FedEx destroyed the box. It had such a big rip that the iPads could have slipped out. Surprised they didn't tape it up after it ripped but thank goodness neither one was damaged!

Thanks a lot! I just called and ordered the 16gb black mini. I was just about to play $450 on ebay before I saw this. Thanks!

Mine came in last week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Fits my white coat pocket perfectly. This is what the iPad should've been from the start. It's quickly becoming my favorite Apple product ever (and my first was a Powerbook 180).

Tekserve is highly recommended in my book.

Thank you. I hope so. I'm eager to play with it after using the iPad 2 for so long. :)

We are kind of the opposite :D. My wife treated me to one for Christmas, but I'm not going to open until the 25th. I think she'll be using it often as well.

Haha. That's nice of her! And nice of you for waiting until the 25th.

She bought the 2 for me on my birthday last year I think. She has used mine from time to time also so I figured the mini would be good for her to use instead of having to share mine :eek:

First off a big THANK YOU goes out to nfl46 for the heads up on this. Called at 9:05AM this morning and got a 16GB WiFi iPad Mini in Black (only color available) and a (PRODUCT) RED Smart Cover with 2 Day shipping and no tax. Saved me about $25 had I bought anywhere else and will be here Friday. Guy I spoke with said they quite a few left so if you are still looking for one then get in touch with TekServe ASAP. Thanks again everyone!

Just wanted to add another THANKS!

I just called and ordered a 16GB WiFi Black mini. It will be here on Friday. The girl that helped me over the phone was real cool. Said that they've been getting orders from all over the US thanks to this thread, which is abnormal for them. She noted that they had less than 65 left in stock. She also noted that a few days ago they had 800 in stock and sold out in 36 hours! So if you want a 16GB wifi model and can deal with black you better get on the phone asap!
