so basically, they tricked me? i call them and ask for a white 32gb they said okay, and i placed the order upgraded shipping, and he said it would arrive Wednesday. If it doesn't ship by 2morrow morning im calling for a refund.
 
Anyone chose free ground shipping and has their order showing as "backordered"? Trying to figure out what's going on since I ordered a couple minutes after they opened today so I know they had stock.
 
I believe the tracking numbers are assigned by B&H through shipping software they have with UPS.

UPS will pick them up tomorrow and ship out. You will then be able to track shipments.

That is how it has always worked for me when I've ordered on Sundays from B&H in the past.
 
Ordered mine right before they ran out of stock with next day air shipping since I wanted to get it before a mid week work trip but looks like it still says "new order processing". I guess i wont get it by tomorrow evening :(

Neither UPS or FEDEX ships on Sunday. Even if you had a tracking # already with overnight delivery you would still be looking at Tuesday for delivery.
 
Monday will be telling

Yeah, I think Monday will be the day of reckoning for many of these orders. If movement isn't seen on order status on Monday, then maybe concern should set in just a bit.

same for me, except my rep had already told me over the phone that they will ship on Monday, not Sunday.

So I'm looking at a Tuesday delivery (hopefully), but I haven't gotten my tracking number yet like others have so far.
 
After studying my order, and talking to 2 people there, watching their website sales status, I saw no redflags, everything was done professionally, sales people were patient, clear and calm. Emailed invoice and ship info had no discrepancies or surprises. Company has a very good reputation and long history.
I think we hit the sweet storm of a store closed during the initial 1st and 2nd day ipad2 sales craziness that opened on Sunday with some Wifis in stock.
I'm not fretting over shipping, any iPad2 delivered in March is a welcome surprise. and mine is due in 3 days! Wed for $4 shipping and no tax. its a win win won.
I feel good about it. very.
 
This is what the shipping email states:

We are pleased to inform you that the following order has been shipped. (If this email was sent on a Sunday or a Legal Holiday, your order has been packed and will be shipped on the next business day.)

I think 3 days would be Thursday delivery, but still better than waiting 3-4 weeks.
 
Hi guys,

It took about 10 min on hold but I got through and placed my order at 2:43 NY time. I ordered a 16gb black wifi and was told it would probably ship out on Monday, but if not then, on Tuesday for sure. I got the two day ups air shipping for $10.70.

I figure if it doesn't ship out on Tuesday, I can always just cancel. Very friendly sales rep, and a great experience so far. Got my email confirmation right away too.

I will keep you all updated on what happens.


Just wanted to update you all. I received my shipping confirmation email and tracking info at 3:55 NY time. Simply amazing service so far, will report back on Weds when I receive my iPad. Thanks to the original poster for bringing this to our attention!
 
Even if they don't have it in stock. More should be coming soon (I was told this week), at least its sooner than what apple is offering.
 
Just want to reassure everyone that B&H is a very well-established and reputable store here in NYC. I have been purchasing products from them since the mid-nineties and they have been around a lot longer than that. Those of you who received shipping notifications will definitely receive them next week.

Cheers:)
 
Thanks OP! I called at 1:30pm Central time and got a 16GB wifi. Got the tracking number emailed already. Will be here Tuesday :)
 
"Even if they don't have it in stock. More should be coming soon (I was told this week), at least its sooner than what apple is offering."

As far as more in stock Monday, they gave no assurances at all. just taking full paid pre-orders, were very clear about how it would work.
 
Thanks to the OP on this one! I live in the Brooklyn area so I put a 32gb White iPad wifi only on hold. Called around 1:30ish. Rushed right to the store and they has it there waiting for me. WOOOOOO! it rocks!
 
Do they have any left?

If I were to drive to B and H and be there would I have a chance at getting an ipad is there . Were there any there at closing time did they sell out?

Thanks so much !

I can't speak about the 16gb wifi only models but I know the 32gb white wifi were sold out and I grabbed the last one at the time. I was told the store only received about 200 on their first shipment between the 16gb and 32gb models
