Hey guys, new here, just needed a place to vent...
So I placed my original order from a lovely net store on July 12th, as that is then earliest they were supposed to get the model I am looking for, the IPP 12.9'' (2nd Gen) 256MB WiFi Space Grey.
I pay up (in advance, might I say), and wait patiently to see my order be sent, only to realize the date immediately changes to the 20th on the expected delivery as they don't actually have them in store yet.
I wait until the 20th reading these forums and building up my anticipation, only to see it the date changed to the 30th as soon as the 20th hits... frustration starting to seriously build up.
On the 30th the date again changes to the 6th of August, and I finally cancel my order, and place it with a new net store here in Norway, which is supposed to get their shipment from Apple on the 3rd.... Lo and behold, today (the 2nd), their date changes to September 9th for the Space Grey, and I am just about to kick a kitten.... aghh..
So I went ahead and cancelled that, and ended up ordering on the official Apple site. They are expecting delivery dates of between the 21st and the 28th of August... have I ordered directly from Apple, I would have had it in my hands by the 8th... bah.
Guess what I am trying to say is, the darn Space Grey modell (at least in 256GB) is rarer than toothfairies and leprechauns combined here in Norway, and no stores in the entire country have them.
When in doubt, go directly to Apple.
Oh, and I haven't owned an Ipad since the original in 2010, so I am really looking forward to getting this beast, one lovely day... god knows this is really a bad omen when thinking about the ordering chaos of the iPhone Edition in a month or two...
Thanks for listening to my rant... Over, out.
