They did this a few years ago with iMac orders that seemed to take a long time to go from "Shipping Soon" to "Shipped".
Customer care guy said priority overnight with next business day shipping. You're right could be play on words, but who knows.
yup...
Like I said, even though Apple gives you an estimate of arrival, products usually arrive before the estimated date. It's like to surprise you and leave a pleasant experience.
If indeed it is a play of words, then I guess that's kind of good news because then what they're saying is that there is still the possibility to receive the product on the 18. (hopefully NOT on the 25). Although technically, we were told from the beginning, the delivery dates estimated between the 18th - 25th. So, with that said, technically we should REALLY be getting impatient and mad and on Apple's case if we don't receive anything by the 25th.

He said it should show up like that on the order but might take 24 hours to show. Mine hasn't change yet. Where did you see the standard chnage to priority?
Interesting. I just called customer service and they said there is absolutely no expedited shipping available for the iPad 2. They did however refund the purchase price of my smart cover. WTH?? Does every 3rd person who calls get different info? I spoke to a rep and then a supervisor. The supervisor was adamant that they gave a shipping and delivery window and they will meet that commitment, and that the posts I'm reading on 3rd party forums about others with tracking numbers and even delivered iPad 2's are false reports. Really???
Mar 11, 2011 at 01:02 AM PDT - Prepared for Shipment
IPAD WI-FI 64GB WHITE-USA
Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25
Got up and ordered at 4am EST - the status has shown 'Prepared for Shipment' since Saturday. I knew there was a possibility of it taking the full 5 days to ship out, however it is a little frustrating that many others that ordered later are already receiving theirs.
ETA: followed the link from another thread, didn't read the title fully! Apologies.

Interesting development we have here. I questioned the validity of the expedited shipping for the ipad2 to the customer care guy because it wasn't available at purchase. He responded that since they are aware of the inconvenience of the orders shipping after I ordered, he would change the shipping to priority next business day. I then responded ok, but nothing else will change i.e., shipping between 3-5 business day and getting delivered at the expected delivery time and he said NO.
Not Yet Shipped
iPad 32g wi-fi 3G. Ordered at 3:03a.m cst. Status shows not yet shipped. Like everyone else I am a long time Apple fan and am dissapointed on the slow shipping even though those of us who got up at the early hours to ensure we would get one on the day it came out were promised quick shipping... ***Update*** Just talked to Apple and they said "it will ship in a couple of days and you should get it in the window that it shows online". Well no sh***! I was hoping for some insight as to actuall shipping times.. Guess I should have ordered mine through AT&T.. They shipped overnight in some cases for Saturday delivery... WOW..

Just called and spoke to customer care...they said they can't upgrade shipping at all, they dint have the power to. Again, eff you Apple.
Glad you started this thread. I ordered mine at 4am-ish ET on the day it went on sale in my time zone.
Being used to the iPhone pre-orders that allow you to receive your's the day that they're available in-store, since there was no iPad 2 pre-order, I expected maybe a 2-day lag? I had no idea that the wait would be so long. My estimated shipping is March 18-25!
The problem with that is that the re-sale value for my iPad 1 may not hold up as much as it would had I gotten the new one earlier. And I don't want to get rid of the old one before getting the new one because I want to make sure all's well first.
So...crap. I'm disappointed. It's like a backorder.

I can show you my status page that says priority, How do you post an image in these replies?
I agree!! I can't stand self-righteous statements like the one re. Japan. This board is about Apple products, not world issues. Our frustrations about the iPad has no bearing on our position about issues domestically or elsewhere.
I got the same response. It looks like you have to be lucky who you get on the phone. This is getting ridiculous.
I'm fine waiting for standard shipping, I just want it to get shipped! I ordered my 64 gig black wifi model at 12:55 PT in the first minutes of availability, hasn't even been "prepped for shipping" or whatever. Jeeze. I've seen enough reports that people's orders have been prepped for over 72 hours before they ship that I highly doubt mine will really ship by Thursday (the 5th of the 3-5 business days)
I hear you. I just want mine shipped as well. Mine still says "not yet shipped"!!!
I just heard from the company buying mine (Gazelle), and their offer stands for 30 days, so I can make that window. I did however want to try to get a better price locally, so the delay still stings, but I took the risk to order online. I just didn't expect a 2 week shipping delay.
and order page says, I ordered a 32GB White Wifi at 1:15 am PDT with a pink poly smart cover. Smart cover arrived today but my ipad is still NOT YET SHIPPED!
Has anyone had their ipad PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT today? If so what model and what time did you order?
