Mine is a 16 gb black and another 16gb white AT&T reported as prepared for shipment since yesterday. Ordered nov 6 no CC charges

report if yours is an AT&T and what model to find the pattern on delayed minis...

I have a 16GB Black AT&T -- still Preparing for Shipment (and credit card was charged yesterday). Ordered minutes after preorders went live.

It seems something with AT&T minis

AlvinNguyen · Nov 13, 2012, 04:38 PM

ATT already said its not throttling IPAD unlimited data. Can't be many of us left since they only offered it for less than 2 months and 3G iPads were short in stock.

Yay for unlimited LTE haha!!

Talked to apple CS said the prepared for shipment mini AT&T were on schedule to be delivered on 20th so it's still weird they are sitting prepared to ship

ugcop · Nov 13, 2012, 05:02 PM

Maybe all the AT&T minis went to the stores for their roll out Friday.

boss1 · Nov 13, 2012, 05:14 PM

Ha , the unicorns with lasers comment was funny.
But I'm saying my assessment isn't fact.
However, intuition and deductive reasoning is beautiful thing & when applied correctly often times can be spot on.

It's 2+2 folks ... Your CCs were charged. That means the product is blessed by Apple to ship. So the hold up is @ the shipping facility . They have a green light but no tracking number means it didn't get scanned , which means it didn't get thrown in an air can on trailer destined to airport USA.
There are an infinite # of reasons to be held at the shipper. And all in saying is that the AT&T cell tech happens to be the differentiating factor.

As of this post, it is just past 7am in China. What likely happened is that they were prepped, but were too late for shipping out yesterday (local time), which was during the night for us. Not sure the rhyme or reason why those that made it out did, but it is what it is.

Certainly hope so. LOL

ics55 · Nov 13, 2012, 05:31 PM

I'm in the same boat. I also have a wifi mini that I got a few weeks ago when it launched. It did not ship until Thursday for a Friday delivery because it was already at a warehouse in California. It just sat in "preparing to ship" for almost a week. It's possible that the same thing is happening here. We will have to see.

Similar thing happened with my wifi mini. Stuck in preparing for a few days and then two days before it arrived, finally shipped from kentucky.

It's been very quiet. Should we be expecting any updates on our ship-tracking anytime soon?

Lobwedgephil · Nov 13, 2012, 09:23 PM

I would expect activity starting tomorrow.

ugcop · Nov 13, 2012, 09:25 PM

Last updates came at the end of their afternoon which is our early morning.

Left FedEx origin facility
SHENZHEN CN

What does this mean? This is in local time here in Hawaii (currently 5:38pm). So that time hasn't even come yet. Does this mean that's when it's scheduled to leave?

ugcop · Nov 13, 2012, 09:48 PM

They are 12 hours ahead of EST. So that would have been 11:58 PM for them. They are currently the 14th.

christof · Nov 13, 2012, 09:54 PM

My Apple Online Store order for white 16 GB iPad mini AT&T placed at midnight on the preorder date still hasn't updated. Ships: 5 business days. Delivers: November 21 via Standard Shipping.

Eric5964 · Nov 13, 2012, 10:22 PM

My black 64 GB ATT LTE says the following.....

Available to ship: 5 business days
Delivers Nov 16 via Next Day Shipping

It is still processing, so not sure what to think?

srockett · Nov 14, 2012, 01:31 AM

I got a shipping confirmation email tonight. My personalized Verizon 32 black/slate ipad mini will arrive on Friday before 10:30. Woo hooo! FedEx says it is still in China, but is scheduled to arrive (I'm on the East Coast) by Friday.

Yay!!

I'm assuming they will be in stores on Friday and Apple is hustling to make sure pre-order folks get theirs the same day. (From pickup in China to deliver on the East Coast in less than 72 hours seems pretty quick!!)

Can't wait!!

I have the same model coming, and I have the same "Delivers Nov 21" on my orders page. No info with FedEx either.
