Oh...and I had called and gotten them to upgrade me to priority shipping as well...seems that that was a crock...

of course it was - they are coming in giant shipments.

i got the same thing, but didnt care that it was bs bc i got a free smart cover
 
Got my tracking number, but only for the Smart Cover, heh. Smart Cover's coming from Shenzen--maybe they ran out of local US stock?

I think a lot of the smart covers where coming from China since the very beginning. Depended on style and color.
 
Well we can count. If my cover was shipped March 13 and is due to arrive on March 22, that's 9 days from the shipping notice. If my iPad ships even tomorrow and takes 9 days, it will deliver outside the promised delivery window. So without some understanding about how the iPad shipping from the same location as the cover will arrive faster, we start to consider the promise empty and broken. Does that make sense?

Where do you live? The iPad shouldn't take that long to arrive...but I guess it depends where you live. I just checked my tracking info for iPad 1 and it shipped 6/18/2010 and arrived 6/23/2010. Also the 18th was a Friday so 2 days of that were weekend. My guess is that they will ship today or tomorrow and arrive between Tuesday and Thursday.
 
My 32gb ATT white went to prepared for shipment around 8 pm last night. Bought it last Friday at 3 am PST. Hasn't shipped yet this morning.

Mine flipped to prepared last night around 6:30, ordered at 12:44am PST. Hoping it ships today. A bunch flipped yesterday so they might be in the same shipment batch. My cover also shipped from China (tan leather) and is stuck in Anchorage. My power adapter shipped yesterday from the US and is due to be delivered today. Too bad the iPads aren't shipping from the US!
 
Changed Back

My 32g AT&T Ipad 2 changed to prepared to ship sometime late yesterday and this morning when I checked, it had changed BACK to "not yet shipped."

Has this happened to anyone else?

Anybody know what is happening?

I ordered it March 11 at 1:30am PST.

Thanks.
 
Still no tracking # for me. Went to prepared for shipping yesterday afternoon.

No tracking number here. But my cover did ship. It had gone into Prepared to Ship mode much earlier in the day than the iPad. I would expect it to ship out soon, but it seems like it is already late at night wherever they are shipping from. So by midnight tonight EDT, I'm guessing my iPad will ship. That will just happen to be tomorrow afternoon there.

Either way, I'm not expecting it until late next week at this point. Anything earlier is bonus. I'm just happy I will be getting one soon.
 
My 2 white 32GB at&t ipads were ordered at 1:10am PDT on 3/11 and still say NOT YET SHIPPED. I called Apple to ask why and they apologized and gave me $100 credit. :)
 
I just got my tracking number.

iPad 2 32GB 3G AT&T WHITE ordered @ 12:52 AM PST.

FYI, it is coming from China.

Exactly my order except I ordered 1 minute later. Not shipped yet.:mad:
Where is your going to if I might ask?
 
just got my shipment notification :)
my order status changed to Shipped
Estimated delivery Mar 23, 2011

You will probably get it soon. I just got mine like 15 mins ago.

Also, they won't really be shipping for a bit since it is midnight there. I got an exception that it was received after cutoff.
