Did not call and ask for change in delivery.
From past experience knew these came from China. No overnight from there.

I think you will not be seeing them till NEXT week as that is when they will REALLY be delivered to the people who ordered them
Ok. Well I guess we can just hope for an announcement soon. She's graduating from ARMY BCT next week and the dorms for her AIT don't have wifi. So I want to get her the cellular iPad 4. I guess if it comes out next week I'll just pick it up and ship it to her. If rather be able to take it to her however.
Got the email last night saying its shipped thru fedex for the 16th from Apple. Checked Fedex, it says deliver by 16th.. I checked it this morning and it changed to 19th..... Anyway i got Verizon black 64gb...
Be happy it shipped I guess....my order still says preparing to ship since Saturday. I am not the most patient person....especially when I spent 900$ and have to wait for it lol
No go on getting Apple to bump me to next day air. I was told they would 'expedite it as much as possible' for me. Working in a call center myself, I know that's BS-enese for 'can't do a thing'. Dunno whether I should try again or not, but really I'm not too fussed about it. Was worth a shot I suppose.

Reason ALL of are shipping dates got push back is due to the holiday today. Might still get lucky and get the 16th date but I am doubtful now. Looks like 90% of us will have are ipads on the 19th
But it shipped from China.. It's not a holiday in China, plus Fedex doesn't close today. My company is open, Fedex and UPS are still transporting, shipping and picking up packages.. It's only banks and government related companies that are closed... We'll see tho, still hoping to get it the 16th, if not I'll be pissed.. lol..
Not yet shipped?
Curious as to how many have not had their IPads shipped yet. My 64G Black Verizon moved to Preparing to Ship with a delivery of 11/23 very early Sat AM and has not yet been "shipped." Also noticed that my CC has not been charged. I didn't Preorder until early afternoon of the first day.
Also wondering if anyone's IPad has actually departed from the origin. My guess is that they are scanning all of these in, loading into boxes and then will actually ship in the next day or two.

If anyone with an iPad 4 also has a Mini coming, you might see if this works for you.
I have my tracking number for the iPad 4 & I decided to see if the Track By Reference would work using the reference number that FedEx has. When I did that I got a different tracking number that has been initiated out of China today but not yet picked up. It currently says it will be delivered Thursday. I'm thinking this is my Mini but obviously I don't know for sure & could be wrong.

.My order is for the 64gb black Verizon model too. It changed to preparing to ship around the same as yours. Well I called Apple and she just told me that since my estimated date was the 21st it probably won't ship until Friday the 16th lol....wow. I asked if I could get faster shipping and she said no it would cancel my order.
AT&T White 16GB delivery date also changed to 11/19. Still shows as "At local FedEx facility CHENGDU CN" so something delayed them or the original estimate was optimistic.

White Verizon 32GB version here. Also got delivery date changed from 11/16 to 11/19.
That works because I am out of town on 11/16. But then again, I have a BIG presentation on 11/19 and this iPad could be a reward for doing that.

Interesting! Thanks for the post. I sure hope the mini's will get to us this week!

I am waiting for both also and when I check Track by reference number I get a different tracking number also giving delivery for Thursday also! Maybe this is my mini coming Thursday and my iPad 4 LTE coming Friday, which is what Apple tracking states for my iPad 4. Hope you are right!
Both of my iPads are being shipped via " 2 business days"

lol. Probably most of are. I'm good as long as they stay away from the Kentucky Walmart hillbillies.
Still no shipment for me. Others?
Has your CC been charged? I see a temp/hold charge on mine from the 10th but not the actual withdrawal of funds. I see posts stating their CCs were charged when orders were changed to preparing to ship. Is that what people meant by being charged - temp versus actual funds. I am guessing that the bank withdrawals are not actually completed until the iPad ships?
I'm less confident this morning -- there has been no movement on that second tracking number so it might not even be a shipment. Is your second one still at "shipment information sent to fedex"?
Delivery changed back to 16th!
Checked at all the usual reporting sites this AM. Now, they all say delivering on the 16 th. Black AT&T 64. Even though it is currently showing in China. Based on past experience, I still predict they are arriving on the 16th...at least for those early orders. FedEx reporting is just not as accurate and sometimes doesn't catch up until the delivery day.

Check packagemapping.com sometimes their information is more up-to-date than FedEx's website all you do is enter in your tracking number at that website and they track the package. I have received different more up to date tracking information from them then I have from FedEx or UPS's website so give it a try
