Is there a pattern here? It appears from this thread that those who ordered early on March 11 are the ones that are not shipping? On other threads I have seen people who ordered much later and even had the Ipad engraved have already received their Ipads.
Dude...we get it. We are selfish, impatient, materialistic cry babies. And we should be ashamed for the way we are acting. You, however, are a much better person than us, and you have no problem reminding us of this over and over.
I really don't see the need for you to come here and "lecture" us about our behavior and how we should feel. What we do does not literally affect you in any way, yet somehow it bothers you enough to spout useless rhetoric like you are some Methodist preacher and we are the sinful clergy sent by the devil himself. Just relax a little and say what only needs to be said. This is generally a friendly forum for Apple fans...don't taint it with your negativity.
I call Bull ****! That or I got two reps lying to me.
Your order not getting shipped out before others who ordered after you could be, for instance, a delay in your bank or credit card company providing approval back to Apple to process your order.
Using your analogy lets say you have 100 people standing in line at an Apple store and for simplicity sake we'll say they only accept cash. They currently only have 80 in stock but the warehouse across town has plenty in stock and a truck has been dispatched to deliver more to store if needed. As people are about to be handed their iPad the seller ask to see their cash. If you don't have the money in hand no iPad given to you.
Guess my point is order time may have no meaning when potentially tens of thousands of orders are being processed every second and variables beyond Apples control may delay your order.
Guess I need to switch to your bank if you can drill down online to the exact second a transaction took place.
I too paid by debit and for several days the transaction was "processing" (with amount removed from account) but this morning transaction gone and money back in account. (just as it is supposed to work)
Order Date: Mar 11, 2011 at 01:37 AM PDT
IPAD WI-FI 3G 64GB BLACK-USA
MC775LL/A
Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25
Still "not yet shipped".
What seems so very wrong is that people who ordered later have already received their iPad, and many of us who ordered early are still sucking wind. It is not as if Apple isn't aware of this perceived inequity, its that they just don't seem to care which is making customers unhappy.
Take a look at my post #3593 on the latest page of this thread if you really wanna get pissed at how unfair it is: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=12168410&posted=1#post12168410
Hadn't seen that one. Awesome (is the sarcasm coming across?)![]()

Time to probably get my father and unload a can of hell on them.
I was just told that it will ship either today or tomorrow. We shall see, Apple. We shall see.
Well if Apple is to comply to the timeframe of delivering between 3-5 business days (for us who ordered EARLY online on March 11) they'd better ship out today.
We'll see........![]()
Think it is it will ship (not deliver) in 3 -5 business days....
