iPad iPad Air 2 - US LTE (cellular) Status/Shipping/Delivery Updates

Read my posts a page or two back... I got an AT&T LTE one, space grey, 64GB Air 2 right from AT&T and we have the same shipping dates.
I'm considering doing the same. At this point, given that I'm still stuck in processing, and my card hasn't even been charged, I don't see me getting this before Monday anyway.
I will head to Apple Store tomorrow if I don't get a shipped notice by then. I feel like Apple set the expectation too high then couldn't deliver. I realize they wanted to give themselves leeway to get out some ipads before friday. So Friday wouldn't be such a mess.
Right now, based on how the wifi-only orders proceeded... If you were in an area with October 22-24 delivery, you'll probably receive yours on Friday. If you were the later delivery date (October 23-27, I think it was), Monday looks more likely.
Finally, my 128 GB Silver LTE has shown up on my CC as a Pending charge after the Apple store changed to preparing for shipment a few hours ago.
If I am lucky it will show a ship status sometime tonight and perhaps I will get it Friday.

I preordered on the 17th and my card (Apple store card Barclaycard) was charged immediately though the transaction was marked as Pending.
There hadn't been any update until today (at least 4 hours ago) when my order status was updated to "Preparing for Shipment", my window is still 24th-28th, however.
I see on my online banking that the pending transaction has been removed completely. I'm guessing that they're going to re-charge me later today. I hope this doesn't affect the 0% finance thing as now it's past the 30 day period.

Last time we got them pretty quickly. I think you will be kicking yourself for not sticking with it. I bet you get a shipping notification tomorrow night and get it Friday or Saturday.
I had a hard time deciding where to ship mine. If I send it home I could get it on a Saturday if that would be the day they deliver (which is when I got my last iPad I ordered a few years ago). If I get it shipped to work I would get it ealier in the day monday-friday but if it would have shipping out to home on Saturday I will have to wait until Monday. I can still change it but right now I am still sticking with work address delivery.
I didn't order until Sunday btw so I don't have any idea when I would get mine. It would be disappointing to get it on Monday or Tuesday for a pre-order though when they will be available in the store Friday. I would hope Apple is pushing hard to get pre-orders delivered before or on the same day as the official store sales open (Friday?).

Weird - my delivery status dashboard widget just updated to 'preparing for shipment' but ALSO says "delivered by Friday." The delivered by Friday isn't explicitly stated anywhere on the order status page. It's implied that I'll get it within the 22-24 window, but the widget never said that before.
I wonder how it's deriving that info? (or just guessing using the latest date, therefore "by")
Oh god, I've become one of those people who over-analyze Apple's event invitations.

I ordered from AT&T as well and my estimated shipping dates are also 10/27-10/31.

I am guessing you are using Junecloud's Delivery Status app. The app takes the date that it should be delivered (by) and uses that to give you the date. I use the same app and put in my Apple Order number and my delivery date says 22-24 but Junecloud lists at as the 24th since Apple says you should get it by then. When Apple provides a tracking number, then the app will automatically update to the day in which it will be out for delivery. I hope that makes sense.
I'm glad to see someone else with those dates. Hopefully the AT&T orders will start moving, now that the other cellular iPads are moving in the U.S.
LOL! But.... if you order a CD from Amazon you get to download it for free, too!
Finally moved to "preparing for shipment" this afternoon. I ordered 10 minutes after the store went up last Friday.
The actual charge on my CC from Apple hasn't appeared yet. The pending one was there for a few days but went away on Monday.
Hoping for shipment notification yet tonight. I'm subscribed to both UPS MyChoice and FedEx's thing so I should be notified before my order status page updates with "shipped."
