Finally, PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT :)

View order details Prepared for Shipment
IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK - PRSN-USA
Engraved

Ships: Apr 1
Delivers: Apr 6
 
Mine shipped today. Fedex says delivery on Thursday. Ordered 3:45 pdt, March 11. 16gb black wifi.

Can't wait to get my hands on it. I was checking them out in Best Buy last week and the new shape is so much more comfortable to hold. Pretty excited about it.
 
I ordered a 32 GB Black Wi-Fi on March 12, 8:45 AM PDT. I woke up this morning and saw that it had shipped. Expected delivery date of March 31. If the March 12 orders are already shipping, then they must have started finishing the 11th orders. Good luck to those who haven't shipped yet, I'm sure you'll see a tracking number soon! :)

I am having to do breathing exercise to stay calm, as I'm seeing lots of orders made after mine - including same black 32g wi-fi model I ordered - shipping. It appears the 3/12 orders are shipping and my 3/11 order is not moving, and nothing on my credit card to indicate pending charge. :(:mad::confused:
I got engraving when I ordered, but wonder if it is the culprit - though others seem to have not been hampered by doing the same.

How can I survive this horrible plight! Lol.

I'm sure it will ship soon. I ordered through the American Express store, so maybe they processed those orders first? Also, maybe you can call Apple on Monday to ask why orders after yours are shipping. Even though I'm happy mine is shipping, I find it unfair that the 3/11 orders aren't all done yet.
 
I received the Apple Shipment e-mail this morning.

Ship date is the 27th. The e-mail state delivery on the 30th but FedEx states it will be the 31st.

My White 32 GeeBee Wifi with engraving has not even been charged to my credit card yet, ordered March 11 5:44 PM PDT. To hear of orders from the 12th starting to ship is getting a bit frustrating. My own OCD is wearing me down.
 
This is the curse of the internet and rapid information exchange. Back as a kid, I'd just wait for the thing to come in the mail. The ability to track your package/order status is a blessing and a curse.:)
 
Lantau Island has seemed like purgatory for a lot of people, but mu iPad skipped over it like it was a simple splash of fuel on the way to the US! Still expecting a delivery on Thursday, but at the rate it is going, I can see it maybe getting here a day sooner than that!

I wouldn't be surprised to see yours show up by Tuesday. When I ordered my camera connection kit and smart cover (both with 32GB ipad on March 11, but they shipped separately), once they made it to the States (Anchorage and Oakland, respectively) they were delivered within 24 hrs to me in northern VA. Things move fast once they clear customs. I'd even check tomorrow morning to make sure it's not on the truck! Good Luck!! :)
 
My 32GB and yours are hanging out together it seems... same exact tracking info... mine is coming to PA. I also have a 3/30 date from Apple, but 3/31 from Fedex... I remember when I got my iPhone 4 Apple's date was the correct one. I think my SmartCover arrived on the same date Fedex said it would and it was the day Apple said as well. Either way it is great to see it moving!

That's great! I'm in northern VA, so they'll probably share the whole journey together. Mine just updated to LANTAU ISLAND HK, so here's to hoping it doesn't vacation there! :)

Languishing in Lantau

It's kind of amusing that so many folks are sweating the fact that their iPads are "languishing in Lantau" on their way to eventual Fedex delivery. They are being sent by Fedex International Economy, which means that it takes five days to reach their destination. Obviously, they take the same routes and planes that the next-day and 2-day packages do. So they have to sit around someplace for a couple of days or more. Lantau is as good as Memphis or Anchorage. Too much information can be nerve wracking.

Hmm. So when's mine coming.....

I once ordered and took delivery of a new car overseas in Sweden, then had to have it shipped back home to the states by cargo ship. After much research, I found out what ship my car was on, and tracked it all the across the Atlantic ocean. #confessionsofanocd

Sometime in the last hour, mine got switched "Prepared for Shipment". Woot! :D Now I get to track it's journey to Minnesota.
 
Mine is now in Oakland, CA. I don't think it'll take another 3 days to get from there to SoCal.

I'm with you - I ordered a MINI Cooper S and tracked it from built to delivery - I knew the boat it came on and was able to watch it travel. :)

Hi, I have the same ship and deliver dates, can I stay in touch with you?.
 
Finally got my shipping email this morning at 945am.

Package is in Lantau Island right now. Hopefully it'll catch an early flight out Monday morning. It's currently just after 4am in Lantau.

FYI: I ordered a 64gb, White, ATT, Engraved at 7:22am PST on March 11. It was scheduled to ship April 1.
 
I have two iPad 2s coming. One is in Memphis, Tennessee and the other one is in Newark, New Jersey.

Both were ordered separately. Second one was ordered within minutes from the first order. Yet, it says on tracking information that the second one is arriving first (this tuesday) and the first one the day after (wednesday) confusing I know haha

My iPad 2.

Hi everybody, when do you think I can receive my iPad if the shiping date is 4/11 and the deliver date 4/14?, do you think it can be deliver before that date?, it appears not yet shipped.

Cool as the other side of the pillow...

Checked it this morning, mine is still in "Prepared for Shipment" status, hopefully will be on the move sometime today. I'm assuming I'll receive an email when it does.
