Ordered a 64GB Wifi Black at 03:30am & have now been told 21st for shipping. Location: Glasgow, Scotland
Thats just a department store in London..not a company which produces technology products. Prejudice!
uk getting screwed again. First the store didn't come online until like 3 hrs after the us store had been up. Now we're getting shipping delays whilst us customer are getting shipping notifications!
Awesome...

The lovely lady from Texas strikes again!
I spoke to her at 9.25pm and reported my experience with said nice lady on another forum, only for another member on the same forum to have had the same one.
This lady needs an instant promotion
That's probably the last step in the assembly process, however. The devices are identical on the inside.
Just a thought, but as quite a lot of these delayed order seem to coming from the same area, is it possible that a batch of the new iPads (that are being stored in Scotland) have "gone missing" & it just hasn't hit the news yet...
I think you're right on the location thing. I can't find one person who posted a location here who isn't Scotland/Northern Ireland/Cornwall (and the Cornwall one is Land's End).
Could someone with a better idea of Scottish geography have a look through the three threads and work out how remote the areas are?
From a post in the main UK thread someone was told they are shipping them to Syncreon in Hinckley (which is apparently near Coventry). That would make sense for the Northern Ireland delays (though why they aren't sending them to Cork like I thought they usually do?)
It does look like it might be just the "far" reaches of the country, so possibly the blame lies with the couriers. I guess I'll just sit here hoping it is, and that my firmly Midlands location means I don't have to deal with a delay.
Hey, I ordered and paid on the 8th.... It gets here when it gets here, who cares I'm sure i'll live
64Gb WiFi 4G Black.
ETD 16th still.
Forgot to say, my order status online has also been updated to reflect what I was told in the email, unfortunately .
Sure I will live but, just disappointing after deciding I wanted it and to pre-order it, to make sure I/we got one at launch and then find out, we won't be.
Are you for real?
If it is not delivered on time your actual existence will pail into great insignificance which will result in both sleepless nights and a trip to the doctors. This will result in self worthlessness and paranoia which could affect both your home life and your health!!
Get a grip man - it’s a bloody ipad don't you know!
It's laughable how angry people are about getting a brand new item a few days later.
Really hope everyone who complained has some real **** hit their lives, maybe they wouldn't whine like 5 year olds at christmas who didn't get what they wanted.
