My iPad mini 32GB LTE Space Grey have just shipped! Estimated delivery is now 21th November! :D Just got mail with trackingnumber from Apple! :D

This should be a good sign for everyone that ordered when it got released for ordering.

Nice I ordered the same but Att version still says preparing for shipment. :(
 
I ordered a 16GB/Silver at around 10:00 AM on Tuesday and upgraded the shipping. Originally, the UPS website said it would be here on Friday 11/15. Now, however, the scheduled delivery date is gone and has been replaced by "Last Location:Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, Thursday, 11/14/2013." So who knows when it'll get here now.
 
Ordered one white 16 GB wifi. Looks like it's going on a wild ride :D

Expected delivery is the 19th
 
I ordered a WIFI only 64gb in silver at about 2.07am. Its STILL just processing. That's a load of codswallop. They can't even get around to shipping it yet, but they can sure find enough to fill all the stores with them. I'm heading out to Best Buy where they show that exact model in stock and I'll cancel my online order if they really do have them.
 
I just got my tracking number. It says delivery on Monday 11/18.

32BG ATT LTE Silver

I placed my order within 5 minutes of them going on sale and chose expedited shipping.

Looks like the LTE units have started to move.

Funny thing is that the order was placed with UPS a month ago? Apple must have started the process in anticipation of shipping units.

Ordered last night, preparing for shipment now. How long does it take to ship? I'm in the 1-3 days boat.
1-3 days. I ordered a few hours after the Apple online store reopened, and it shipped late the next day. The store was also reporting that it would be 1-3 days to ship. Apple reported that I would get it some time around November 20-22, but FedEx is reporting a delivery date of November 18. I was hoping that FedEx was overestimating, but it seems that the shipment went from China to Hong Kong, and then Taiwan. The shipment information indicates that they'll only deliver it on weekdays, so Monday it is...
 
Mine left Hong Kong at 1:07pm local time. Expected delivery in UK on Friday.

Same here. Mine is now in Dubai.

I'm very confused how it can be scheduled for delivery Friday (here in the UK). Let's say it arrives in UK tonight, they have to sort it at the main UPS depot, then send it to the local depot, in 12 hours? Hmm.
 
Any idea where it would be going next from Dubai? Expected to be delivered to UK tomorrow. I'm beginning to question it a bit :p

I think my shipment (coming to London) is in the same as yours NOTmacbookpro13. The package is currently sitting in Dubai but I'm now getting a little anxious... just hoping that I'll see that magic 'Departure Scan' update in the next few hours.
 
So I gave them a call, ended up getting expedited shipping free, but sadly no case. :( and the shipping only changed my delivery date by a day lol. Might try again later

Yeah hopefully they will show up at London some time tonight & then on to Co. Antrim to me in the early hours of the morning :D

EDIT: We could quite possibly be waiting for this flight:

RBA79 B772 London Heathrow (EGLL / LHR) Departure: Thu 02:05 GST / Arrival: Thu 06:40 GMT

I ordered at 10min after 12am. I ordered a 32GB ATT Silver and I am still preparing to ship, so I am guessing my status will change today or tomorrow to shipped.
 
I just spoke to customer service and asked them if it was true they were giving free cases to those who ordered around midnight Tuesday. The very nice rep said he hasn't heard of this and also asked his supervisor.
Both have not heard but he ended up sending me a free one anyway. Try your luck and just be honest!

Thanks all for sharing your experience.
