What I am having a hard time understanding is how cellular rMinis are showing up in suburban stores, and yet NONE of the NYC stores have any. I've never been so impatient to spend so much money before.

in-store available near NYC between 3:30pm to 4:00pm today 11/14 in Yonkers, NY and Huntington Station, NY

I hear ya, but that's kind of my point. I've got to believe that Apple's Fifth Avenue, Soho, 14th Street, Grand Central, and Upper West Side stores see more traffic per day than any of these other stores combined. Why not ship to the stores in NYC first?
 
Any others who had theirs arrive in HK around 2:30 AM Nov 14 local time via UPS? Usually things clear the stop in HK within 24 hours but it's been that long already. I was hoping it might get to Louisville by tonight and Canada (YVR) Friday morning but it looks like Monday or Tuesday it is :)

perhaps they are waiting to fill the plane, fly out saturday night, disperse the units stateside then Monday to the major hubs, Tuesday delivery.

Ordered mine 1 to 3 days.

Disappointing having to wait

Yeah I guess a plane is really big but with all the billions of product Apple sells in the US every week, I thought they'd have a few planes every day with stuff going from China --> US.

What you said makes sense, though
 
by the way, after i picked up my 32 gb lte mini R, i never receive a receipt for it.

and my credit is still pending rather than charged. funny stuff.

This is the very time i have not receive a receipt right after purchase, very weird.

anyone has the same experience?

Yup, been at that same spot for a whole now.

I'm in the same boat. :mad:

I called to politely inquire about why my new iPad has been sitting in Hong Kong for over 28 hours and the nice Apple lady didn't have an answer, but is sending me a nice leather Smart Cover as consolation! :D

Thanks, Apple!
 
Just placed an order for pick up, a white 32GB Mini R tmobile at the SF Apple Store. Going to pick it up later in the day.

good luck, hopefully not one of those store that has pos problem.

and they hold the item for 30 days by the way
 
Got shipping confirmation today that my 128g Silver AT&T iPad mini with Retina is on its way. Delivery shows this Tuesday November 19th. FYI - my shipping was upgraded by apple to Next Day. Obviously this is not next day but it's fast enough and I'm happy.
 
I placed an online order with personal pickup at 3pm this afternoon. Still waiting for the email saying it is ready.

Apple really needs to step up their game with the whole personal pickup process because it's a joke.
 
I received from Apple a shipment notification today. At the top it has "Where's your package?" My FedEx my number and estimated arrival November 19
Further down the page:
"Your shipment is on its way" stating "shipped delivers November 20"
Both of these dates are in the same email and the first one the one on top has a little gear turning before it shows up.
I wonder which one is correct

If you type the tracking number in at fedex.com, that will give you the most accurate info
 
32GB Verizon

Ordered at 6:35am PST.

Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 5-10 Business Days Delivers: Nov 25 - Dec 3 by 2-3 Business Days
 
Figured i'd chime in here with my order in case anyone is curious.

Ordered 16GB space grey WiFi rMini at roughly 8AM central time on the 12th, received shipping email at 10:30PM central time that same day.

Shipped via FEDEX and is currently in TA YUAN HSIANG TW. Estimated delivery according to tracking site is 11/18

Ordered exact same unit about 4 hours earlier, did not pay expedited shipping, and also currently in TA YUAN HSIANG TW, as of 10:27 PM (local time) on 11/14/13. Hoping above all hope it lands in Memphis, TN tonite for delivery to me in Texas Friday (tomorrow) instead of Saturday.
 
Ordered White/16GB Tuesday mornings. Upgraded shipping for the extra money. UPS said it would arrive tomorrow, Friday, but then a day later changed to "Last Location: Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong." Just got off the phone with Apple Support. They said something happened with a lot of the iPads and they weren't shipped on time. They refunded the extra shipping cost and said they were going to send a coupon through email for the online Apple store. I figured, like most, it would be for the free case, but it wasn't. This is what I got.

$15 off an order of $100 or more
$30 off an order of $200 or more
$45 off an order of $300 or more

Kind of disappointed since you have to spend so much to only get a little taken off, granted, they didn't have to give me anything. I wonder if I can turn around and use the promo code to get the discount for the iPad I already bought? Thoughts?
 
Ordered 2x 32gb wifi (black) units within 5 minutes of each other around 3am on launch night. I received a shipping confirmation on one that it would arrive on Friday and the other on Monday. Now I check the tracking and the BOTH say Monday delivery. Boo! I had tomorrow off to wait for my PS4 shipment and I thought I was going to get my iPad Mini the same day. Bummer.

Sucks broh. Same here first it said Friday and now Monday.
 
lol how annoying is it to read people talking about their ipads coming while mine is still sitting in "processing".

Is there anyone else with processing? What did you order? When?

Yup, thanks. Looks like it's coming a day earlier than Apple projected. NOT a problem.

Mine stayed in processing for a while because my debit card had a limit set for fraud control purposes and was bouncing Apples request for payment. Apple notified me and I called the bank to have them raise the limit.
5 minutes after that call my status upgraded to the next step.

What did you order? And how did they notify you?
