I'm quite excited... mine just switch from "processing" to "preparing for shipment" with delivery between Nov. 22 and Nov. 24.

I ordered the Hong Kong version GSM 32GB Black.
 
Mine arrived 1 day early.

Now we'll see who really ordered at 3am. Dont get yours by we'd...you ain't no early bird.

Btw FedEx guy knew what it was and that's scary. Hope no one has theirs stolen.
 
Ordered mine on the 15th this is the status. Do you think I'll receive it before the 24th?

Looks like ours shipped at the same time. I ordered on November 1st.

Still showing delivery for the 26th. I'm hoping they just pushed the date back as a precaution due to high volume on black Friday.
 
According to Google Flight Tracker, FDX16 just landed at MEM about 30 mins ago:

Departure ANC 1:09am (scheduled 1:15am) —
Anchorage Nov 20
Arrival MEM 9:53am (scheduled 10:05am) —
Memphis Nov 20


if it can get on a flight from MEM to PHL within the next 4 hours, it will then get to PHL by the late afternoon / early evening. that means it will come tomorrow. it'll be tight, since it still has to go through a major sorting at MEM
 
FDX16 from Anchorage to Memphis just landed about 15 minutes ago, waiting to see my package get scanned in.

I think there is a very good chance we may get it tomorrow. Arrived in Memphis and if the tracking for my smart case is any indication then I'll get mine tomorrow morning. They both shipped from china and are showing similar situations.

Don't you get my hopes up!! I just got the scan notification for Memphis as well, and I'm up in Michigan.

I'm looking back at the last few pages of this thread, and it would seem as though it's about a 1 day trip from Memphis to just about everywhere in the US.

You boys are getting my hopes up that it's arriving tomorrow. Shame on you :p

I'm just basing my opinion on the fact that everybody else seems to be getting theirs within a day of arriving at Memphis. Of course, something could come up - but if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I would suspect it will show up on Friday for sure.

I won't have time to play with it anyway tomorrow until after work, but I would love to have it in time for Thanksgiving.

same here i think FedEx would like to have them all out by tomorrow,
to avoid holding it in there warehouse.
 
Mine cleared customs in Memphis this morning. My estimated delivery date is the 26th at 4:30pm (AZ) but hopefully I'll get it tomorrow!!

Mine hasn't moved from Memphis yet. I won't be able to check again until tomorrow morning, so here's to hoping the next update is "Out for delivery"

Lucky you...mine never left Memphis after it cleared customs although there was plenty of time for it to leave so I'd have it tomorrow ...so upset...I really wanted to have this for thanksgiving
 
i originally ordered a mini wifi not sure how i'd like it and through using it almost everyday (much more than my aging ipad2) and taking it with me practically everywhere i decided to order the LTE version.

i knew there was going to be wait to order through Apple and didn't want to try my luck a the retail store so i went down to the local ATT corporate store last Friday and placed my order. They told me it should ship within 1 week

Just got the email that it shipped today. That's quick! unfortunately due to the holidays i won't be getting it until the 26th, but if it were any other work week, i'd have my mini LTE in less than 1 week.

FYI for those who are looking to order one now
