I'm in the same exact boat as you. Most of our stuff shipped from Harrisburg PA and it gets here fairly quickly. I also ordered a smart cover and it came on Monday. Fingers crossed we see our new iPad's tomorrow or Thursday.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. My shipment is definitely from Apple, their signature 'AI' name is present.

Is your order number or phone number listed on that page anywhere?
I ask because I'm having mine shipped to work, so I can't use Delivery Manager. But if Apple lists the order or phone number, I might be able to find my tracking number with Track by Reference.
Yeah I've heard that, which may be frustrating since I'm going to get a bestskinsever back for it. Previous ipad was 3rd gen and those magnets were still pretty solid through the protective film. Spent a while trying to make sure the cover is correct since it seems like the lower profile means they would have to redo it, guess not.
Netherlands: this afternoon 16:00 my iPad air 2 space grey 128 gb WiFi & cellular changed status to "preparing for shipment"
Any other Canadian deliveries. Mine is still showing "Preparing for Shipment" estimate is "Oct 27-29" .. Standard Shipping.
Mine is still in "Preparing for Shipment"; estimate is "Oct 31-Nov 3"; Standard Shipment.
I ordered about 5 mins after it went live, got the 128GB Gold Cell+Wifi model, and shipping it to Victoria, BC.!
There is a purchase order number within the FedEx label information, but it's not a number that I have seen before,and it's definitely not the web order number that I see in Apple's systems.
My 10 digit phone number is listed on the label information as a reference number. So, Track by Reference should work with the phone number used to place the order.
Yes, it is coming from Harrisburg PA. It should only take a day like you said. Unless Apple is holding the delivery back. I'll see the next time the tracking updates. Sometimes, the next scan after the origin scan, the delivery gets rescheduled to be faster/slower with UPS.
Nothing for me (So Cal as well, but a wifi iPad Mini 3 ordered 8:09 the 17th). Stinks seeing everyone elses shipping status update.
If you are signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager, or UPS My Choice, you will see deliveries scheduled to your home before the order information is updated to reflect the shipments.

Sign up, enter your address(s) where the shipment is headed to, and you can see all incoming and outgoing shipments to that location.
I'm in San Bernardino, literally about 10 minutes from the Rialto facility. No updates here.
Just received my shipment notification! UPS tracking number received, but isn't active yet. Text notification from Apple states it will be delivered October 22nd, tomorrow. Hope everyone else starts getting theirs as well!
Still "processing." 128GB LTE
same here 128 SG LTE, still says just processing, Texas
What kind of delay are you referring to? I keep seeing "ships 2-4 days" on many customer's orders (those who ordered on Friday) - regardless of Wi-Fi to Cellular.
I think Apple would reflect any cellular model delays in the shipping time/availability date.
It allows you to manage and redirect any and all shipments coming to you. Once you sign up, enter your address, you will see all shipments that are headed to you, even before they're shipped.
It's irrelevant if you aren't concerned about that, but for those of us who are constantly refreshing the Apple order page, FedEx delivery manager will tell us when the shipment is scheduled for delivery when Apple's website does not.

Same. Must be building those last. Even though we're paying the most.
