April 1 Ship Estimates are being "Prepared for Shipment"

Looks like my iPad2 will be arriving today after all. Apple was more right than Fedex on estimates.

Mar 28, 2011 7:44 AM
On FedEx vehicle for delivery
LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, MD

Judging by past deliveries there will probably be a knock on my door by noon. I finally get to unbox her tonight and see what treats she has in store for me.

Hope the rest of you guys get yours soon.
 
HOLY SMOKES! I just checked my status & my iPad is on a truck for delivery right now! Even though the estimated delivery still says Thursday, I will have it today.

It left China Thursday night at 11:15 PM & it will be in my hand by 4:30 PM today in Atlanta!

It is a 64GB 3G ATT Black

Mine followed a similar path. I was quite pleased to see how fast it made it.

I think the thing that impressed me the most is that it made so much progress on Saturday & Sunday. Kudos to FedEx for busting ass on the weekend.

Yeah, after reading about people's shipments getting stuck in Hong Kong for days and days, it was really quite refreshing. I did not at all expect it would be delivered today.
 
Help!!

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.
 
I received a shipping notice email from Apple this morning at 10:30 AM EDT.

Which means my order sat in "prepared for shipment" for just under 48 hours.

Apple says delivery date is 4/4, Fedex says 4/1. Original ship date was supposed to be 4/1, delivering by 4/6. I ordered when store.apple.com said "2 to 3 wks." more info in my sig below.
 
UPDATE - Mine was delivered today. Went PFS on 22, left Shenzhen on 23 delivered on 28. 6 day turn around.

Good luck to everyone out there.

Check your delivery estimate, either on Fedex of the Apple store order status page.

Not to be a dick, but I don't appreciate getting 2 PM's when I have no idea who you are. I understand you are anxious to get your iPad but please don't go spamming up the forums and people's inboxes.

Congrats! And thanks for starting this thread - it helped me, knowing what was happening with other orders placed about the same time as mine...

It's a conspiracy, I fear. The Ravens fans working the facility figured out you were a Steelers fan and decided to sit on it. 😉 j/k

Any movement yet?

Oh I'm out West in Ellicott City. One 64GB white 64GB WiFi delivered just 20 minutes ago. Sitting in her shipping crate while I get some work done. I'll open her up around tea time. (Wouldn't want her to think I was that anxious.)
