I ordered my iPad on March 25th, launch of the Canadian date at 3:46AM PDT. 16GB iPad WiFi in black. Nothing fancy. Nothing has changed on the order yet.

Ships: 15 Apr
Delivers: 22 Apr

Mine was ordered Mar 17 at 09:35 PM PDT

IPAD WI-FI 64GB WHITE - PRSN-USA
Ships: Apr 21
Delivers: Apr 26

I've noticed that all of the people who ordered *after* me during the "4-5 weeks" shipping window have been moved up to match my shipping estimate of April 21 (my estimate was never changed). That's a week's worth of orders! So I know that mine will ship a lot earlier than the 21st! Just waiting... and waiting... :rolleyes:

It's nice to see March 14th orders start to move. This gives me hope that maybe there will be some action for me next week!

I'm in this group as well. Since the ones that were scheduled to ship the 11th seem to be shipping now, I'm hopeful that ours will go out sooner than scheduled.

Ordered on the 17th of March and when I called Apple after the shipping dropped from 4-5 weeks to 3-4 weeks and asked if they were moving those orders up or if I should cancel and re order. They did say that they were going to ship in the order that orders were received, but the ship date for my 64G 3G ATT is still 4/21

Ships: 15 Apr
Delivers: 22 Apr

So I ordered March 16, Ships April 20 Delivers April 23rd. Apple told me when I called "existing orders will be fulfilled before new orders, processed in the order they were received in tandem with product availability".

So if yours is scheduled the 15th (Realistic in the 3-4 wks window) then mine should ship next week? (64gb black at&t)

I did the same thing (except on the 16th of March) but they also told me ""The dates won't change, it will just ship early"".

Hopes up already.

But I think his is a Canadian order. I'm guessing those are completely separate from US orders. Right?

They all come from one place (iPad iSland), so first come first serve should be global. Makes no sense that countries with later release dates get preference over orders 10 days before theirs.

I agree and I hope you're right!

Does anyone else know if other countries' orders are separate from US orders as far as shipping goes or are we all in line together? :confused:

Im part of this shipping group too...
64gb, black, wifi only, USA
Ship date was originally 4/25 w. delivery on 4/28
About a week or so ago it changed to 4/21 w. delivery on 4/26..
Hopefully it will come sooner as some others are reporting that theirs are shipping (in some cases) 10 days earlier!!

Keeping my fingers crossed....

I should also add that my Order date was 3/19.. not that it matters too much!

Did anyone whose shipping date was moved see that reflected in the order status?

Do you mean those with a shipping date of April 11 whose actually shipped on April 1? If so, then no.

Apple won't update your shipping estimate on your order status until it actually ships your unit out. So your status could say "Shipping: May 2" but actually ship out a week or more earlier and you won't know until your card gets charged or you get the shipping email. It's all a big guessing game (which is why the shipping thread at the top is now at 333 pages and counting...) ;)

Anyone with these shipping estimates seeing any action? Credit card charge, engraving editing locked, "prepared for shipment" status?

With some April 19 estimates already shipping I'm wondering when those of us with April 20-21 estimates can expect to see something.

Me: ordered Mar 17 at 09:35 PM PDT
