If he's in SF, it's probably coming ground from southern CA. West Coast tracking that has been seen so far all show UPS ground from southern CA. Just got my ship notification, and I've had tracking live for this package on the UPS site since last night.

That is so much more less sexy.
 
Ordered the second the site went live. Space Grey 64gb cellular. Still processing. However my credit card has an addition hold put on it this morning for the full price of the iPad. So hopefully that's a good sign.
 
Ordered an 64GB iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi model in Space Grey, the morning pre-orders went live on the East Coast (I live in the DC metro area).

Received my confirmation email at 11:12am EST (12 minutes after pre-orders went live), with an estimated delivery time frame of October 22nd and October 24th.

Checked the order status yesterday morning to see that my order had changed from "Processing" to "Preparing for Shipment."

It's been more than 24 hours now and it's still stuck in "Preparing for Shipment". Tracking by reference using my phone number through both UPS and FedEx show no results. Called Apple about half an hour ago, and they also don't have any changes reflected in their systems. Hopefully it ships out by the end of the day.
 
I ordered the iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi 64 GB right when pre-orders went live. I received the UPS confirmation that my products will arrive on Wednesday. I'm in San Diego as well.
 
I ordered my iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi Space Gray 64GB around 1:30PM EST on the day preorders went live.
I haven't received any confirmation from Apple, my order status still says "Preparing for shipment" but I am enrolled in FedEx Delivery Manager, and I have a new shipment coming to my house from California. Shipping today, the 21st and delivering on Thursday the 23rd. I live in Michigan.
 
Just got my shipment date for sure!

I'm in Michigan as well. Just tried the FedEx Delivery Manager, and it didn't find anything for my address.

Any other Canadian deliveries. Mine is still showing "Preparing for Shipment" estimate is "Oct 27-29" .. Standard Shipping. :(
 
I ordered originally Friday, then canceled and re-ordered Saturday after realizing I got a $20 student discount. For both orders, the delivery estimate was Oct. 27-29 (iPad Air 2 64GB Space Grey).

Kind of a bummer! Guess I'm screwed. Other people sound like theirs are getting delivered on the 23rd already. I wish Amazon would have been doing pre-orders so I could have gotten it overnight with Prime!

Also in Canada with the shipment estimate of 27 Oct - 29 Oct.. stuck on "Preparing for Shipment" for the past 24 hours.

I ordered less than 5 minutes after the site went live. It's also showing "preparing for shipment". Mine is estimated to deliver between Oct 23-27. It's a a space grey cellular 128 GB model. I'm in Toronto.

I called Apple and they said it will most likely ship out tonight and I MIGHT get it before the window specified (when I've ordered MacBooks in the past, it moved from place to place quicker than imaginable) ... Here's to hoping lol
 
iPad Air 2 64GB Space Gray just shipped and got my UPS tracking number! :p:D:apple:

Surprise it's coming UPS Ground? That seems like a first.
 
MY SMART COVER JUST SHIPPED!

Sorry for the all caps, just got excited. Now I'm waiting on Best Buy to ship the iPad itself. If I didn't have that $150 gift card, I would've bought directly from apple.

Don't hold your breathe. Apple doesn't know. Two completely different sides of the business. They are not allowed to know anything that you don't have in terms of shipping.

Why? Under promise, over deliver. You just most likely kept forcing the might out of them, unless they aren't the smartest cookie.
