So I've never pre-ordered an item from Apple right when they went on sale. I am planning on pre-ordering the iPad Mini on Friday when they start. But I have two questions.

First, what time do we think pre-orders will begin? 12am eastern or 3am eastern?

Also, how does shipping on pre-orders work? If the iPad Mini will be released on November 2nd, would pre-order ship on November 2nd or would they be shipped earlier so that they arrive to customers on the 2nd?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
You should get it on the same day it comes out if you preorder right away

Via ups or FedEx

Usually pre-order will begin 12:00AM PST = 3:00AM EST

If you successful pre-order from Apple you will get your iPad mini on the launch day for sure.
