Went to bed last night with no movement. Woke up with Prepared for Shipment. I'm hoping the same thing happens overnight & my status changes while I am asleep!

 

[MotherFinMike]

My order went from prepared for shipment, to shipped status original delivery date was April 6th and now is March 29th

Ordered on the 11th at 5:15

I finally have the pending charge on my credit card, so I assume I'll switch over to prepared for shipment very soon. Still not yet shipped this morning though.

Same model ordered at 3:33 PM PDT on Mar 11 and still not shipped for me either. I think ours being the most popular model will have the longest wait.

My black 32g wi-fi model still sits in China. Maybe the guy/gal who does engraving is out sick???

Seriously, hopeful it will be soon since I'm now seeing orders shipping for folks who ordered after me.

 

[Blorzoga]

Don't get too excited folks. All the prepared to ship means is that they've charged your credit card and you can no longer cancel your order. Don't expect early delivery and be prepared for your shipment to sit on Lantau Island for several days. I ordered at 1:15 am pt on 3/11 and mine arrived yesterday, two days earlier than the latest date I was promised.

Whites always get preferential treatment.

Black 32GB Wifi + 3G AT&T

Ordered March 11 at 8PM PDT.

In transit: Lantau Island HK.

I'm with you too (same model) ... no movement at all.

Same model here. They're not even pretending to do anything with it before 4/1 still. I'm amazed at how awful this has been, you'd think a company that's been around as long as Apple would know their stuff but I guess not.

I think the Lantau Island fiasco is getting better. Some people who had theirs go through there this week only stayed there for a day or less. I think the Weekend is what bogs it down (apparently they don't work on the weekends over there?). So we'll see what happens with some of the ones shipping out of Shenzen today and tomorrow and how long they sit there.

Any one commenting here have an estimated ship date of April 11? I ordered a white 32GB wifi only at noon PST March 12. No change in delivery status yet.

I ordered a black 32GB wifi only the 11th at around 8pm PST and still have "Not Yet Shipped." Boo.
