I ordered before 1:57pm NY time.
My emailed order says, In Stock, order sent to warehouse.

$502, 3 day UPS ship. Forgot to ask about signature required. I wanted that, I won't be home.
seems too good to be true, to have it in stock but we'll see.
I was gonna wait and really want an ATT one, but this'll get me thru, if it shows up.
 
The rep I spoke to say they close on Friday's at 1, and closed all day Saturday. So basically, they were closed at the peak of the launch, hence why now they still have some in stock.

By the way, he also said they only had 16GB WiFi in black, not sure about those who ordered 32GB in White. You may have just pre-ordered unfortunately.

No I did not pre-order! I specifically started with 32GB and the rep said these are pre-orders for 32GB as they have only 16GB Black (Wifi) in stock. Then I ordered the black one 16GB with 2nd day air and he said it will arrive on Wednesday! In fact black 16GB still shows in-stock online!! I hope they have visibility to their inventory when they take orders.
 
Thanks, OP!

OP,

Just wanted to thank you for posting this tip. It's hard enough trying to find a place that will ship an iPad 2 to an APO address, and it only becomes more difficult to find a place that will grant you a pre-order. B&H gave me both, and they said they expect to get stock in this week.

And free, Priority Mail shipping to boot. You just can't beat that. Thanks again! :D

So $11.00 bucks to have it one day faster then you?? :( I'm gonna call and change that!! Lol
 
Oh well, regardless it sounds like we should get them in the next week or so and the no tax makes it a bit of a deal.
 
CANADA - Apple forbids BH to ship here!

Got an order in... selected shipping method, credit details, everything,
then at the last screen it was blocked due to Apple US only restrictions .

Close...

Yep B&H is closed for the Jewish sabbath (sundown Friday till sundown Saturday) as well as all Jewish holidays. If you ever visit their NYC location you could potentially mistake it for a temple with all of the yarmulkes you'll see there.

Got my preorder in for the Black 16GB Verizon model. Hoping they get that in stock sometime this week. Many thanks to the OP and all other posters!
 
my 32gb white one says processing still and i ordered it at 1:19 says the invoice, soo if i dont get one imma crack skulls.
 
their site just switched the 16g black to Not in stock, sometime right before 330pm NY time.

If it is processing, I think you are golden. Backordered is the questionable status at this point.
 
Missed my chance.

Called at 3:14 EDT and they had sold out 2 minutes prior. Saw the OP around 2 PM and thought you had to purchase at the store, so I missed my chance to call and order. Doh!

So, I'm sticking with my Apple order for now, although it says it won't ship until April 1. Any chance that date will get moved up?

k cool, cause alot of peoples says sent to wearhouse and mines not there yet, if not, im not trippin too much cause the 50 dollar discount i got without tax but, i was clearly told my 32 gb white ipad would come on wednesday with 2 day air.
 
Figured I'd chime in here and also thank the OP!

My order status just changed from In stock, sent to warehouse to:

Order Status: Being prepared for shipping


Thanks again OP... will have my iPad 2 on Tuesday and canceled my apple.com order. B&H should be cutting you commission on these sales.

UPDATE:

Order status just changed to

Shipped UPS Next Day Air - Tracking #1Zxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hell yea.
 
i got shipping confirmation after ordering at 12 PM today but obviously way too early for UPS to have any info

estimate for delivery is 3/16, i live in chicago

about as fast as apple!

I was told the same thing, however, it sounds like either there were a lot of orders coming in at the same time or they were not certain of their actual stock. I am disappointed because they clearly stated that both the black 16gb and white 32gb were in stock to me. I wanted white, so I went that way, but would have considered black to get it faster as I am not passionate either way about color.

Not too upset if they do get stock in the next week or so as it is still faster than my Apple online order and way cheaper.
 
Just called and they said theyre outa stock on EVERYTHING. they said new shipments coming in everyday from here on out. so...
 
Where are you guys getting the order information from? Since we had to order through the phone I didn't have an account to assign that information to.

I gave them an email address and received an order confirmation, from that you do not need an account to check your order status online, only your order number and telephone number you used to order (CC info, I imagine)
