iPad iPad 4 LTE Shipping & Tracking

Mine left Denver at ~8:30 AM this morning and got to my house at 11:25 AM. Can't wait to drive down tomorrow night and open it! :apple:

How is everyone's iPad out of the box? "Defect" (I know that's a subjective word) free? I was reading about some dead pixels and such out of the box and just wanted to know what the outcomes have been for people.
 
Mine arrived at 2:01PM. My wife signed for it and sent me a pic. Too bad I can't figure out how to post it from my iPad here at work. :)
 
Well with no official word on when they are going to go on sale in stores, I really hope tomorrow when I wake up, there are reports of them being sold on the east coast. I'm in San Diego, apples stores open at 10am, so hopefully around 7am PST there are reports coming in wether or not it's go times. That should give me time to make it down to the store to pick one up. With no word, I'm hoping that's how it's going to go down. I need the 4th gen 64 GB AT&T version, white. For my wife.

So if people got them "early" today, with most deliveries happening tomorrow the 16th, hopefully that's the store release date. Guess we will all find out in a few hours.

Mine still hasn't shipped (est. delivery 11/23). I just called Apple and all the person did was read off my order status to me in a relatively condescending way. Today is the 5th business day. They told me to do was call back if it doesn't get to me by the 23rd and that that was all they could do. What was the point of pre-ordering?!

Sweet Deal! The 2nd round of iPads should be on the truck now or soon for delivery today! I know mine is! I am glad I don't have to wait until Monday to set mine up and get using it.

The funny thing is FedEx site still shows 19th for delivery, I wonder if they are going to use this to fluff their numbers on before time deliveries.

You can order on Apple.com and pick up from a store today.
 
On FedEx vehicle for delivery.

Wasn't supposed to be delivered until Monday. Still says scheduled for 11/19.. :D

Let's hope I get a good screen.

Got mine taken care of. Store doesn't open for another 3 hours. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long before I'm able to pick it up.
 
Anyone else still stuck at preparing to ship? This is ridiculous at this rate I'm worried I might not get it by the estimated delivery date of 11/21.
 
My iPad 4 LTE was just delivered by the FedEx guy! Delivery estimate is still showing the 19th but iPad is in hand! Good luck with everyone else getting theirs!
 
Hi all. I had my iPad 3 16gb LTE about 1 week before the ipad 4 was announced... sent it right back :)

I held off purchasing for a while hoping stores would have in in stock before the estimated delivery date. Finally I ordered it online last week but I kept an eye on stock in local stores. As soon as my iPad shipped, (delivery 11/26) it was available in local stores for pickup :( in almost every Chicago area store...

I'm still there too. I am actually wondering since stores have gotten these that ours are going to be shipped from within the US. They may have sent a number of these to warehouses in the States and then can deliver via 2 day Fed EX/UPS on Monday.

Anyway, I actually was able to reserve one at an Apple store about an hour away. So much for pre-ordering. I did get a free case of of it (that has shipped).
 
Literally the last time i preorder. this makes me upset, mine is being delivered today, but I won't be there for it until later today and i'm busy all day monday, so won't get the package until tuesday. But my apple store has them in stock now and is across the street. Absolutely retarded.

Buy it from across the street and return the other one. You have until January 7th to return it.

I thought about trying this but that means I'm out of another 900$ until I get the one that will ship to me returned....can't really do that. In wondering if what the above post said is true. Maybe they will ship from the US now...its the only way I can see getting mine in time now
 
Ok, so I called up Apple and gave them a piece of my mind. They said that whoever expedited the order selected the wrong option and it knocked me further down in the line of queues. She said that the shipping upgrade to Next-Day should not have been processed that way and she said to make good on their mistake she wants to send me a smart cover. I turned it down because I already have one. She asked what I wanted instead. I asked her to knock off -$50 from the cost of the iPad. She put me on hold and talked to her manager. I spoke with the manager and told her what happened and she said she has gone ahead and reduced the price of the iPad from $829 to $779.

Delivery date is still Nov 21 but at least I just saved $50

Interesting, I ordered online tonight at 6pm and picked it up at the local apple store at 6:40pm. Walked in the store and out in less than 5 minutes.

Yes, it's very ridiculous. I've been stuck at preparing to ship for a week* now. If it doesn't ship soon, I don't know how it'll get here by the estimated delivery date since Thanksgiving is next week...

Part that irks me is that I can place an order to pick one up at just about any Apple Store nearby now...

*Didn't their e-mail claim it would be shipped in the next 5 business days, which ended today?!?
