I have the 32GB 3G at&t black ordered at 12:44 am pst on the 11th. Status is "not yet shipped" . I went to an apple store this morning and waited in line, I was about 150th person in line. They sold out about 15 people in front of me. They had a lot of wifi and a lot of verizon models but the 3G at&t were in short supply, this is what the apple store employees where tellling everyone. So the 3G at&t models are definitely in short supply all around.

I am guessing it is betwee short supply and that seems to be the model all of the resellers are getting to sell internationally. I was looking at them on eBay and they are like $1000+ WTF.

I was going to cancel my order today when I got in to work if it hadn't been updated yet but instead someone came over to my desk to tell me how amazing their ipad2 is. Grrr. Oh well maybe my case will get here before my iPad.
 
The Black 64 GB WiFi is becoming a real no-show. It figures I picked a model that is becoming a jinx :eek:
 
Ordered on Release date...still Not Yet Shipped! Post Here

I ordered a few minutes before it was actually supposed to be open and I ordered 2 iPads. One Black and One White. The black one is already in Alaska today and my white iPad has still Not Yet Shipped!! This is getting old seeing others who order after people getting theres shipped already!! :confused:The bad part is the White one is mine the other is for my brother.

Anyone else having problem with the 16 GB iPad 2 (White) Not Shipping???
 
Best Buy

Put down $100 at Best Buy hoping to get one before this weekend.

If so, I will cancel with Apple.

Yesterday my Red Leather smart cover went from "On truck for Delivery" to "at Local FedEx Facility" with a note that it was not due for delivery (because the estimate was wednesday.) ACK

Not a huge deal since they only seem to be sending the 64GB models to stores for the second round of sales to those who can drive to their locations. They should at least supply the online orders who ordered in the first half hour before the stores get more.
 
The whole "prepared for shipping" thing is driving me crazy. I think my unit is about to reach 48 hours with that status.

I'm starting think that the message means that a unit has been assigned to your order. Your order and thousands of others at the same time. I think it's sort of like "ok, let's work on the next batch."

Eventually a shipping label will be printed and put on a box, at that point you will see the "shipped" status. And we all know that the "shipped" status doesn't mean much because all it means is that your box received a tracking number. Then it can take another 24+ hours for FedEx to actually receive the box.

These 2 day delays between status changes are driving me crazy.
 
Same here, but mine were 64GB models.

I wonder if Apple took the "liberty" of holding the second unit for people who ordered two in order to get units to more individual buyers.

Won't freak out just yet, unless Friday comes and goes without it being Prepared For Shipment.
 
Maybe Apple will surprise us

Hey guys, sorry about the "positiveness" on the title statement.

I ordered a 16GB White WiFi+3G iPad 2 at 1:13AM PDT. Which translates to 3:13AM CST on Friday March 11!

(No engraving) & Blue Smartcover.

The Smartcover shipped out on Friday March 11. According to UPS, it is "out for delivery" today March 15. (We'll see.)

The iPad 2 has had NO movement whatsoever. And it is already March 15 12:10 CST. If we are to get it by Friday 18 I think they should start shipping out sometime today. If not, I can't wait to hear all the complaints and "things" all of us will be shouting at Apple. I don't think Apple wants to go through that.

We'll see what happens. Keep us updated.
 
Prepared for shipping

When I saw early yesterday morning that my Black 16GB WIFI 3G AT&T was prepared for shipping, I thought "oh good," now I can relax." But as the time stretches on, I'm not relaxed at all. You know those luggage carts that haul suitcases out to a plane in airports? I have visions of piles of iPad's being moved over to the shipping area - and one or two (obviously mine in that group) falling off and no one noticing. The process seems to be much slower than when I've ordered other Apple products (3GS, MBA 2008, MBA 2010, Mac Mini 2009, ACD 30", even iMac 2005). I'd kind of hoped that by ordering soon after the store opened, that I'd get one ready to ship - but I guess not. However, given the delays now on the on-line store and the way they're dribbling into the retailers, I'm happy I have an iPad that is "prepared for shipping," although I would be happier if it were arriving along with the cover that will reach me tomorrow or Thursday (I'm only happy it's arriving as it suggests my iPad will someday soon.)
 
Unless they start shipping units from somewhere in the US there's zero chance of getting it this week if yours has not been shipped yet. Shipments from china take 4-5 days for delivery. :mad:
 
I'm having the same exact issue. My wife's 16GB Wifi black is out for delivery today but my 16GB Wifi white is stuck in the dreaded Not Yet Shipped limbo!
 
16GB WiFi White...not yet shipped. Ordered at 1:17am PST.

Frustrated. Going to need counseling after this! LOL

Prepared for Shipment
Product Qty.
IPAD WI-FI 64GB WHITE-USA
Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25


Just got my smart cover case today FedEx woke me up i'm still waiting for the iPad! Also Prepared for Shipment has been like that for the past 3 days.
 
Oh I just wanna add my frustration to the fire :)

I am sure no one who has any ability to change it will read this but I feel compelled to add my 2 cents:

I feel like an idiot for waking up at 4 in the morning to buy the IPAD2 in the hopes that I would attain it in a timely manner.

IPAD WI-FI 3G 32GB BLACK-USA

I know several people who have their item or who have a tracking number to indicate theirs has shipped. I paid good money that I worked hard for to attain this item. I am thankful I do not have the problems of others in this world and simply want what I paid for.

I understand the argument that it has not yet been 3/5 days for shipping but I question why distribution was not better set up to handle this? I would think with such a large launch they would be prepared to get these things into customers hands ASAP.

I am not being negative. I simply dont see this going well and I hope to get the damn thing before the end of March.

Thanks to the forum Mods for making a place to bitch about it.

HI CHRISTOS!
 
No iPad, no smart cover, no nada. As of right now, smart cover is somewhere in China, supposed to be delivered March 22. Ipad still not even prepped to ship even though it was ordered 6 minutes after it went online (64gig black AT&T). Entertaining myself by looking at iPad accessories on ebay.
 
A poster on the sticky thread said he/she just got a shipping notice with expected delivery of March 22. If ours haven't even been prepared to ship, I see no way in hell we get them until late next week or the following Monday (the 28th) which is the last day of Apple's expected delivery window of the 3-5 shipping days.
 
yup...true....but

Seriously, why are you so furious? If you buy stuff on the web you know that 3-5 means business days, not weekend days. Boo hoo you got up maybe an hour earlier than I get up on a normal weekday but those other people took much more time out of their lives to go and line up. You picked your lzy butt off the bed and sauntered over to your computer to order it. And lets all keep this in perspective...its a fricken computer, ok? It not the cure for cancer or the solution to homelessness and poverty around the world. Mine's coming sometime in April...whoop di do. Am I keeping an eye out for it locally, yea maybe a bit, but is the world going to come to an end if I don't end up receiving it until the end of April? No, I'll just use my laptop and desktop like I've been doing for the past 20 years........

DEFINATELY not a fan boy like the rest of us!:p
 
I give up..

It's clear from posts their not processing by:

*time order received
*model ordered
*engraved or not
*qty ordered

whats left?:

*shipping zip code
*first letter of last name
*type of credit card used
*Republican or Democrat
*boxers or briefs
(my attempt at humor)

I have no clue how they are processing orders.... It's seems like they fed all the orders into a random generator and are shipping them as they pop up.

All I know is I got up at 12:45AM last friday like many people to try avoid this and it's still a BIG FAIL... thanks Apple!:mad:
