iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi 16GB - Space Gray

Looking forward to it!
 
64 GB space gray wifi. Oct 24-28 by standard shipping. I'm west coast, maybe the 64GB space grays are slipping because they're the most popular?

I'm west coast also, and those are my arrival dates even though I ordered at 8:03am. I think we're just further from the warehouse.

ETA:
I'm Seattle area. It seems it's not the west coast with the later dates, it's just us in Seattle. :(

it will take longer if i chose the engraving option, right? Anyone with experience?
You would think so but on the web site it says that engraving take 2-4 days to ship and if you skip engraving its 4-6 days. Not sure what that is about?????
 
Ordered at 5:30 pm. Wi-Fi + Cellular 64GB - Silver. Delivers Oct 22-24.
I was trying to hold out for In Store pick-up but was afraid I wouldn't get it by launch day if I waited much longer.

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi Only 16GB - Space Gray

Really hoping for the 22nd because that is my day off :p
 
Yeah, weird. Some are 22-24, some are 23-27, you are the first I saw with 27-29. Maybe it matters where you live.

Besides, these are just estimates and actual shipping times are (usually) sooner.

Yeah, my theory is that Apple is shipping these from warehouses in the delivery country rather than drop shipping direct to customer from China. That saves Apple a ton of $. They are just using the standard CYA delivery window, but I believe most will ship out next week. In the U.S. Apple has a few regional warehouses (TN, PA, CA) that are no more than 2 shipping days away from most addresses. The exceptions might be some very rural locations, esp in the NW states. But I would be the vast majority of people who preordered today will get delivery Th-Fri no prob.

Theyve clearly had this update waiting in the wings for awhile.

What are the odds the ipads are sitting in some shipping container in the Seattle or Tacoma harbors right now?
