just to update, both of mine shipped today. I live in califorina and it looks like my ipads will be shipping from socal. those that live closer prob have a few more days that apple can use to ship out.
 
still waiting to get upgraded to Shipped...called Apple support and at least they told the order is fine and payment is fine and that my ipad will be coming from the US. so that makes me feel better
 
Happy to say I just got "promoted", too!

1: Ordered 3-4pm on 3/8 Thurs
2: Destination: Florida
3: Black 32GB AT&T
4: Finally changed from "Processing" to "Preparing" in the 3 o'clock hour (Eastern US Time) today, 3/13.
 
Ordered 3/7 @ 5:45pm ET
Promoted to "Preparing for Shipment" on the same day
Been stuck there ever since

Shipping to New York City

Sadly, a colleague of mine ordered after me, a 64GB, shipping to the same address. He got his shipping notice on Sunday night. WTF? I am freaking out over here, ready to jump off a building if I don't get my iPad on friday, as Apple has promised me. This is crazy.
 
Holy *****! I just got promoted to "preparing to ship" at 15:31 CDT. Finally!!!!

don't get too excited I have been preparing to ship since friday.
black 32 verizon ordered on 3/7 but switched from ATT 3/8

Don't rain on my parade! I was stuck in processing since 3/8. Any movement is a good thing!
 
Definetely Try this - so relieved

Mine is stuck in the preparing for shipment status right now, but I put my phone number that I used on the order in the track by reference box on fedex.com, and it shows that it shipped on Sunday. So maybe try that if you're stuck in that status to see if it shipped yet, apples system must not be updating

I just tried what was suggested and sure enough mine is showing shipped since the 10th so I can stop wondering :apple:
 
Still on the Dock!

:rolleyes:

Still stuck on the loading dock......

(Surely there's a song that will fit this situation) :D

Had someone order for me, since I was not in the US. And it would have been a hassle to do it directly

He tortured me until today when I received an email with order confirmation
