Ordered 64gb Verizon and received confirmation email at 12:04am PST. Status updated to preparing for shipment not too long ago. Dates remained the same, 5-10 days, Delivery for 11/26-12/4.

For anyone in the Seattle area, it looks like stock is popping up in the area. UVillage store has a very few cellular models. Just a quick check and looked like mostly 64gb ATT, Sprint, Verizon.

Sweet! Just ordered online at UVillage... Canceling web order... Here's hoping they're truly unlocked. I'm on t-mobile and want to use an AT&T device

Ordered mine yesterday, and shipped out today... Can't cancel, but I should've waited one more day... The one I wanted popped up at Southcenter, lol. Oh well, gotta wait until the 19th now.
 
Ordered mine on launch day and I got an email one hour later to pick it up. Kinda quick. I won't be able to pick it up till Saturday though. D'oh!

32gb silver.

Can't wait. First iPad for me.
 
Ordered one online, saw it was available locally (just now), so I ordered one for pickup today and will just return the other one shrink wrapped to the retail store later. Apparently all Apple stuff bought this month and next can be returned until 1/7/2014.
 
The only cellular models available here in the DC metro area are 64 gb models. Not dropping that kind of cash so the wait continues for me.

Same here. I also have an iPad Air I have to return. I like the mini so much more. So now I have $1,800.00 in iPads out of my checking account. I have to get the Air and online Mini returned.
 
Mine I ordered right when they went live is scheduled for delivery Tuesday but the Apple store near me just got them available for pick up. I just ordered one and will be picking it up and returning the the other one when it gets here. Does anyone know if the holiday return policy applies to online orders you picked up in store? Will I still have until Jan 7th to return the one I picked up in the store?

I'm in Europe , France . It looks like the cellulars ready to ship are all for the US (ATT or other US carriers )?
Without being nosy , could you please state if/when cellulars are shipped to other countries ? Pretty please :eek:

Thank you ! I've ordered the same as you . So far my status hasn't changed yet..
Please post when it's shipped ;)
 
I ordered a gray 128GB AT&T LTE an hour after the midnight launch and still shows as "Processing Items." Looks like the high capacity cellular versions may be the ones to be shipped later. Hope that changes. :) It shows the option to cancel the order if I wanted to.
 
Guess there were quite a few orders placed in the 7 minutes after launch.

I checked my order status again and I have been moved to "Preparing for Shipment."

Space gray 32GB ATT LTE.
 
Looks like the apple store now has all the cellular Minis shipping in 1-3 days...
That's down from 5-10 days it was before.

I say that is good news for all of us who have already ordered but didn't get a shipment notification yet...

Let's see...:)
 
So purchased a 32 GB wifi silver to pick up at my local Dallas store (Willow Bend). I placed it around 12:30, and it's still "processing" with pick-up scheduled today. So I called up the store to see if i could get an ETA...it was all automated and eventually I got transferred to a call center. The rep couldn't give me an ETA, except that it would be ready for pick-up today.

But he said he understood why I would like to know an ETA, and to apologize for not having one, he'd give me a free smart case just for my troubles -- shipping directly to me!
