FINALLY - prepared for shipment

ordered same as thread; at 7:13 AM ET on 3/11 - finally says "Prepared for shipment". FINALLY!
 
i think a huge delivery of ipads is coming to the east coast. i'm on the east coast and it says delivery on 3/23.
just checked flighttracker and there are no fed-ex flight going to Alaska anytime soon.
 
They just put yet another "sitting in Hong King" status line on my tracking. My iPod has been sitting there since Thursday evening, 2 1/2 days now.

My delivery date which was initially Tuesday is still at Wednesday. Should I remain optimistic that we'll receive this Wednesday? We leave very early Thursday morning on a 2 week trip. I hope I'll have it on my trip as opposed to my house sitter sitting the package too.

64gb Black Wifi + ATT 3G - Ordered 3/11 at 1:14 AM PDT.

Got shipping notification about 3am this morning 3/18, with actual "movement" around 10:00 am.

Date/Time Status Location

I'm just outside of DC. Have estimate of 3/23 delivery. So definitely looks like a huge batch of the 64 3g all got built and processed at the same time.

Based on my camera kit shipping, 3/23 looks about right for east coast delivery.

p.s. Don't forget to track using this link as you'll get much better info:

A little bitter that those of us who ordered the one with the higher profit margin for Apple got put in the back of the line.

wow. You got up early or stayed up late on the east coast. When I woke up it was 5 to 7 days and went to the store instead. (well, made an order, then went to the store, and later cancelled it.)

Looks like ours are traveling together. Any idea what the heck that means? Is it an indication that it could actually make tomorrow's scheduled delivery or does it mean we're SOL?

Just ordered my white 64GB/Verizon a couple of hours ago. Here's to hoping that I get a lucky surprise with an early ship date. Anyone have any updated info about this particular model's shipping dates/inventory?
