After 4 days in PTS status, mine shipped at 11:15 pm last night and it's already in-route to Florida, with a scheduled delivery date of Wednesday.
I was counting yesterday as the 5th day, so they really did ship it at the last minute.

One week later and not shipped...
Ordered 32GB White Wi-Fi at 4:43 AM PST on 11 Mar 2011.
Ships: 5 - 7 business days
Delivers: Mar 22 - Mar 29
Shipping Status: NOT YET SHIPPED.
Rather frustrating.
***Status changed to "Prepared for Shipment."
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! SHIPPED on 20 March! No more standing in line at local Apple Store for this thing. Good luck to the rest of you and hope we all get enjoyment out of it that we deserve.

IPAD WI-FI 32GB WHITE

If Thursday was the official 5th day I guess Monday is the official 7th day? So I guess I can't complain until then.

Finally got the shipping notice about 10 minutes ago.
It says Delivers by the 22nd by 10:30 am.
Ordered 2 (16GB Black WiFi, 16GB Black AT&T) at 5:09am PDT on 3/11, still in NYS status.
My Smart Covers are on a truck for delivery today though...

So, I stopped by the Fed-ex office in Durham NC this evening. I went to pick up my cover, because they were unable to deliver it by 5pm today. The Fedex clerk asked if the package was the new one aka the new iPad. I said no, it was just the cover. She was surprised the cover came before the iPad. She said they have been delivering A LOT (yes, a emphasis on "a lot") of iPads this week. (which might explain why Fedex showed up at 6pm, instead of 4:30 pm) I explained the shipping had been delayed and it was currently in Hong Kong (obviously living it up at the resort there) and the cover was shipped before the iPad. I mentioned that quite a few people were kinda obsessed with tracking it.... she laughed and agreed.... I guess they have been indunated with calls from people wondering where are their iPads are.....
The point? none really other than ....good luck to those awaiting shipping notices ...... and I am off to the tracking obsession thread to learn all I never wanted to learn about Fedex flight tracking ......

My 16GB Black WiFi & 16GB Black AT&T (5:09am PDT on 3/11) are still showing as Not Yet Shipped on Apple's website, but my credit card got temped tonight for them both.
This insane e-mail from Apple..

IPAD WI-FI 16GB WHITE-USA
Ships: Apr 20
Delivers: Apr 23
But my pink smart cover will be here today. Just seeing that I won't have mine for four more weeks annoys me beyond belief. I just hope I will get it sooner but I am not banking on it.

Springboard media was my obi wan (my last hope)
So, I have been following the progress of my order and others. I have watched as people had their Ipad ship dates moved forward and mine stay the same (Ordered Black 16gb, engraved on March 26th with ship date of April 25th, and delivery of April 28th) I have called Apple several times to ask why many U.S. customers had their dates adjusted, but not mine and why people outside the U.S. are getting them shipped within 10 days of their order. I have waited in lines at Target, Best Buy, and Apple Retail stores, only to be out-maneuvered by these LEECHES who line up at 2am in the morning to buy and resell their Ipads on Ebay! I tried MACMALL (hearing that they were the best kept secret of Ipad 2 inventory), just to learn that "the cat was out of the bag," and everyone already sucked them dry of their stock! I then remembered that I, of all people, had a secret of my own. I live 30 minutes by train from Philadelphia, and have a little 2-store chain called "Springboard Media." They DO have Ipads, and so I called them. A VERY VERY kind person by the name of Nate answered the phone and assisted me. He had various models in stock, but only 1 black, 16gb, WiFi in stock. I explained to him my situation, and he completely understood my frustration. He was kind enough to hold the Ipad for me until I got there today. I paid for my Ipad 2, and right from my Iphone, I canceled my Apple website order without a moment's hesitation. I told him about our little forum here, and that I would pass on the news of their inventory. Here is their web address for those who are interested in NOT WAITING AN ETERNITY FOR APPLE. lol. http://www.springboardmedia.com/apple/ If you call, ask for Nate(Philly store, not Exton) and let him know "Branden" mentioned him. He deserves more business after how helpful he was! (By the way, I know Philly physically has them, but I have no idea what Exton has, and I don't know what varieties)
