Which carrier, and when did it switch from "Preparing for shipment" to "shipped"?

Mine's been "preparing for shipment" since last Thursday. 64GB black AT&T mini.

I'm jealous! My boss got his Verizon one this morning. I was initially suspecting that the AT&T ones were all delayed based on responses here, but it seems like a few of them are arriving. Maybe there were simply more Verizon ones ordered, and that's why more Verizon people say they got theirs.

I'd be a lot happier if I just knew how long I had to wait! I'm surprised that Apple hasn't announced the in-store date...

So did your even ship out yet?

Mine just shipped out 6:13am EST. received email from Apple, i was refreshing on site and it showed shipped.

Ok, so I called up Apple and gave them a piece of my mind. They said that whoever expedited the order selected the wrong option and it knocked me further down in the line of queues. She said that the shipping upgrade to Next-Day should not have been processed that way and she said to make good on their mistake she wants to send me a smart cover. I turned it down because I already have one. She asked what I wanted instead. I asked her to knock off -$50 from the cost of the iPad. She put me on hold and talked to her manager. I spoke with the manager and told her what happened and she said she has gone ahead and reduced the price of the iPad from $829 to $779.

Delivery date is still Nov 21 but at least I just saved $50.

I called back and asked if they could include a Lightning cable which would be the equivalent of a leather smart cover case (what the first lady originally offered). They said they can't discount Lightning cables, company policy. The guy gave me a coupon code though:




Dear Customer,
