I would have paid for real 'fast' shipping at this point, but was just told that they were not offering expedited shipping on any ipad orders at this point.
I feel somewhat dirty for calling.

Agreed. I've resigned to refreshing my order page once an hour.
I'm kind of stumped as to why the 64 giggers are so slow to ship. One would think they would be the most readily available as they're so close in price to the Macbooks and Macbook Airs. It would be interesting to see the stats on which models businesses are adopting the most.
Just off phone with apple
Black 64GB ATT ordered at 132pt/432et
Just got off phone with apple. I asked why others after me have gotten their iPad and he said the natural disaster is effecting production and shipping times. I said "The tsunami in Japan is effecting my iPad in china?" He said yes. I asked if he knew when mine might ship and he said they are trying as fast as they can to get them out due to demand. He said he realizes how frustrating it is to have others ship after mine but they are doing everything they can to get them out.
I asked about expediated shipping, after several seconds of silence, he said "sure I can do that for you but it won't affect when it first gets shipped, only the time it takes after that to get to you." I asked about a free cover and he said no. I stated others have gotten credit for a free cover, after several seconds of silence, he stated that I could get a free cover for the inconvenience. I picked the leather black one!
I understand there is absolutely nothing he could do. I know they may not have been told why things are actually messed up over there. I know that things are messed up and it would look bad on apple if they stated why....but I would really just like a reason why. I feel at this point a quick..."Hey things are messed up over there because of XYZ and we are sorry, we are trying to get it out to you." That would make me feel 100 times better than expedited shipping, but the free cover was nice on their part. Seeing others post about how their ipad just showed up on their doorstep and ordered and mine is still "not yet shipped" is frustrating.
Oh well.....nothing more I can do but try and ignore my order status page so I don't drive myself nuts. If something is wrong they might be waiting until late Friday to say something so there is less media attention, who knows.

From what I have seen, it ranges vastly. Could be a day, could be 3 days and still waiting.

Never thought I'd be able to post this!
Black 64gb AT&T version just flipped to "Prepared for Shipping" at approximately 7:15 or so.
For reference, I ordered on March 11 at 1:17 AM PDT.
Based on posts in the "shipping notice" forum, it appears there is a big movement on the 64 and 32 AT&T models that were ordered around 1:00am last Friday.
Good luck to those still waiting!

My 32gb Black 3g AT&T just switched to "Prepared for Shipment" a few minutes ago, too. I ordered mine at 3:05 am Pacific Time. Hopefully this means that a lot of them are getting ready to go out.
My Black 64 GB AT&T just changed to "prepared for shipment!" However, the wife's White 64 AT&T is still "not yet shipped."
Both were ordered at 3:51 am (eastern) on March 11.

Prepared For Shipment!!!
64GB 3G Black within the past 5 mins went to prepared for shipment!!!! Too bad I go out of town Saturday and won't get to bring it with me........but the wife says she will take good care of it while I'm gone.

3 days for me, tomorrow will be day #4. I do think that this is uncommon though.
Apple didn't offer any explanations when I asked about it earlier today. She blamed it on FedEx for not picking up my box since Sunday (which isn't true because otherwise I'd have a tracking number already.) When my cover changed to "shipped" I got a tracking number and FedEx picked it up a day later. She didn't like it when I used logic on her and just thanked me for calling and asked me if I was satisfied with her level of service.
It's now almost 8 am in China, I sure hope we start seeing a lot of shipments overnight. Of course I posted that same wish last night and it didn't become true.
