iPad 11/4 Delivery Thread

Just ordered my space gray 128GB and case, delivers 11/4. At least the iPad Air does, the case is coming later sadly.
Since they are coming from China, I remember when I ordered my rMBP, they batched them up by type so you'd see all the same type ship at once. We will probably get a tracking later sometime later today.
Well it is partly because they are coming from China so they tend to hit the local distribution centers on Sunday and then get on a local truck on Monday morning. Sometimes when I order stuff it comes directly from Dulles airport rather than my local distribution center but they put a rush on the delivery to make sure you get it Monday.
It could be the iPads destined for delivery Monday are already in distribution centers in the US. It would save Apple a lot of money to have them pre-shipped a few days ago for a cheaper price rather than use week-end shipping prices.
That would also explain the availability for in store pick up tomorrow.

No pick up options for you guys ? Fortunately , I had a pick up option at my local Apple Store . Then again , some of you live a couple miles away from one huh ...
I could have done pick up but wouldn't be able to go till Saturday, and it is about 80 miles each way.
128Gb Silver scheduled for 11/4, my smart cover is already preparing for shipment.
Have no desire to get near my local Apple store. I will be glad to have my 128gb ATT space grey delivered on Monday.
I had 10 stores close to me offering pick up options. Then I had flashbacks to the last time I went to a mall, especially near an iPad release and decided to sit back and wait for my iPad to come to me.
At 2:03 AM, it showed it was available for personal pickup, when I went to checkout it changed to not available for pickup. So, I placed the order to have it shipped.
I checked the same store 20 minutes later and it said available for personal pickup.
Monday delivery is fine. My smart case will be available for personal pickup.
128gb White From AT&T, didn't want to chance local pickup as they always have issues with stock of larger size models at my local store, plus I'm busy thru the weekend, hopefully get it by next week and I'm fine with that, have a case ordered thru Amazon

Same here, though the Smart Cover, shipping separately, is already in progress and can't be cancelled (which I don't want to do, anyway).
Shipping 11/6-11/8, purchased from AT&T website during the first hour. Who knows though, AT&T may be just seeing how many orders they have and everything before they definitely start saying ship times.
