I have "Not Found". But I'm not expecting an iPad, just the case. In fact it's shipped with "G3 NETHERLANDS BV" but I got an invoice/receipt this morning from Apple in Ireland.
That's not the only thing intended for somebody in another EU member state going instead to Greece!
Doesn't sound good! Maybe it's lost?

Is anyone else a little bit sheepish about buying such an expensive device? im 24 and not exactly in the money, but I just had to get one. All of my friends are aghast about how much I paid for what it actually does. Dont know why, but I feel a little embaressed about it! Still, bring on Friday
Yeah tell me about it mate. I still feel a little guilty now for dropping so much cash on one. Me mrs was banging on about how the money would pay for a holiday or something. Anyway, if it wasn't for my bonus I wouldn't be getting one. So quite lucky really. Otherwise it would have been finance
Like you say though, just had to have one!

Oh no! And you've been waiting ages too!
I wonder if this isn't a glorious tracking number cock-up and actually you'll find it's in UPS' hands or something...

There should be a "mrs" owners club. Mine will join, I'm sure of it.
It turns out mine is also delivered since March 18, good condition and in Greece. The tracking number is obviously getting recycled but mine's not updated yet.
Code:
18 Mar 2010 11:28:00 Athens Shipment Delivered In Good Condition.
18 Mar 2010 07:16:33 Athens Out For Delivery.
17 Mar 2010 20:14:12 Athens Shipment In Transit.

Get over it
Haha yeah big time mate, I can guarantee 100% once she's got her grubby mitts on it she'll be after one. At least if she had her own she wouldn't break mine. She's soooooo clumsy. I just know she'll be on it when I'm at work, chucking it around without a care in the world

Be glad then that the iPad is actually a rather well built device. It feels like it can take a lot of punishment. I haven't tried sitting on it but it feels like you could sit on it flat but not at an angle, so to speak!
It's very well made and feels solid in your hands.
Uh, should I be worried:

If you live in Labasa, no. Otherwise, yes. My "Dest" column says ISLE OF MAN, which is where I live.
****. Should I wait and see? It says 18 May, maybe its moved on from there, or is that the final destination.
Who do I ring about this?
It doesnt say anywhere on my order that its TNT, I just pasted the number into the link thats above to see what would happen. Uh oh.

I would contact Apple customer services, initially via live chat on their website. Those others with obviously older dates are almost certainly not the correct tracking numbers / are old tracking numbers. Yours, I think it's likely it's an old tracking number but the recent date seems a cause for concern.
Call Apple and find out!
But would the person on the phone know? Shall I say I have a concern about my preorder, and its status, and they would be able to look at the there? Do I not call TNT? Im quite confused and worried now

I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes I do think that it's a ridiculously indulgent purchase. I haven't even admitted to anyone that I've bought it as I can imagine their teasing about me spending that much. However such feelings swiftly pass; I'm content with the fact that my bills are paid and I can spend without feeling too guilty.

I know someone who spent a lot more than that on a set of golf clubs. Someone else went to Wembly a few weeks ago to see his beloved team in the final and the whole trip probably cost him similar. Should they feel guilty?
YOur bills are paid and you will enjoy using it. Who gives a damn what others think. We will have 3 iPads in the household. Do I feel guilty? no Lucky yes
OMG. Can you ever imagine this being allowed in the UK. What happens if the airbag goes off!

That's what others have been saying about it they are the tnt hubs and from there out to deliver but not sure if apple will make them hold it till the 28th
You get a high speed iPad to the face, killing you pretty much instantly as your nasal bones pierce your brain. I assume !
Ouch.... That Picture instantly brings back memories of endless hours in the operating theatre doing facial reconstruction in the good old days without safety belts.
As it's supper time I better not get into details, but instant death would be one of the better options if an airbag goes off with ipad attached...
