The news reports on the Apple sites seem to indicate that the shipping times are very conservative and the chances are that the items will arrive before then. Fingers crossed for you....



Thanks... I hope it does arrive before that as I am leaving the country on the 14th!.....BTW i just called apple and the guy said that a lot of people are complaining about the shipping timing because before you order it said "availability 2-3 weeks" so i assumed i would get it in that time frame.. so I told the guy it should say Shipping in 3 weeks. He also said that the date it said it would leave apple would be most likely be the date it would actually be shipped!!! :(.... still hoping itll arrive sooner though...
 
anyone lining up at a Best Buy?

Are the doing the ticket thing or just plain line-up?

Curious about this as well. Initially bestbuy.ca showed secure one at 10am and pickup at 5pm. But they've since removed it. Anyone at bestbuy that's opened at 10 and get a ticket?

I called my local BestBuy yesterday and they said they were no longer doing the reservation system.

Anybody at Best Buy in the maritimes? Should be after 10 am there now - did they end up doing the voucher thing or completely scrap it? I'm first in line at best buy in Coquitlam - about 7 people in line now. Only 10 hours to go.

Wow I wasn't expecting people to line up so early in Coquitlam. How many people are there now? Have any of the Best Buy employees said anything about vouchers?

I have appointments to go to until 1:30 and can't make it there until 2pm!

About 15 now. Staff haven't talked to us yet, employees just walk in the front door.

Hi guys... this is my first post on this.. I ordered the Ipad 2 online @ the apple store and it said it will leave april 15th and arrives april 22nd. Im going to be leaving the country April 14th.. do any of yous have any idea if theres a chance of my ipad getting to me before i leave?

Like someone said there is a decent chance these are exaggerated times to avoid making promises, so just wait and see.

Future Shop Cambridge, checking in.

Just got here 10 minutes ago and I'm 4th in line. I was expecting to be s.o.l.
 
About 100 people in line at Southgate Center in Edmonton.
I've heard at WEM it could be nearing 200. But I'm not there so I can't confirm.
