iPad mini iPad Mini Retina Apple.com order thread [MERGED]

I ordered a 64 GIG wifi late in the evening on launch day. It's still "processing". :(
 
Hold at FedEx paid off. Wasn't scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow but just got notice it is available for pick up now. On my way.

It's now been four and a half days that the device has been sitting in Chek Lap Kok. Four and a half days.

I ordered at 5:00am (Eastern) the morning of launch, and it's looking like the device is nowhere near me.

I'm in the same boat exactly. I just got a notice from UPS that it will delivered tomorrow, but it's still sitting in Chek Lap Kok.

16GB space grey ordered 5 am launch day, scheduled delivery 11/19. Odd thing is that I don't see any flights from Anchorage to Louisville today? And its still in Anchorage.

It will probably go from Anchorage to Memphis then to Louisville. Mine arrived in Alaska Saturday afternoon and then was in Memphis by Saturday night. It arrived in Florida this morning and is out for delivery 2 days early.
 
I also ordered a 32GB Wi-Fi on the 12th, scheduled for delivery on the 19th, which is still sitting in Chek Lap Kok. I just talked to a UPS rep who said if there's no movement by this evening, they will have to change the delivery date. At this point, I'm not very hopeful. I got the usual line that the shipment may have missed a scan or the system is behind in updating. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
 
I ordered a 128gb verizon around noon last Tuesday it's still stuck in processing. Has any one how ordered an 128gb LTE last Tuesday in the same boat. Or have u all at least moved to prepare to shipment?? Thanks.
 
16GB Wifi ordered on launch day. Still sitting in Hong Kong.

If it isn't delivered on time, I'll be calling Apple & UPS. Completely unacceptable. I could have had my device on Wednesday of last week with in-store pick up. Tried to cancel once in-store pick up came online, but it was too late.

If it truly does miss its date of tomorrow, I'm going to say that a big portion was boosted from shipment.


On a side question, this is my first time ordering a release day Apple product, is this sort of thing common from past experiences with people? I did a quick search on "stolen ipad mini" and seen that during the 1st gen mini launch 3,000 Mini's where boosted from an airport.
 
My Att 32gb mini on delivery truck ordered the first half hour on sale. FedEx still gonna be here helping the others on whatever I can
 
Thanks G35 for posting this site packagemapping.com, I'd never heard of it but it shows more information then the UPS site (disclaimer: it did for me, your usage may vary :p). Anyone whose iPad is stuck maybe try entering the tracking number in that site and see if it gives you any more details. It may not but it's worth a shot.

Mine is currently 'Out for Delivery' (Calgary, AB).
 
Update from someone whose shipping status has not changed since 11/14 (in Chek Lap Kok-Hong Kong). I got an email from UPS delivery notification this morning saying it will be delivered 11/19-by end of the day by UPS worldwide expedited.
We'll see. I'm still a little skeptical

There was problems with the iPhones for sure, I know they (the thieves) were actually taking them out of the packaging so people were getting an empty box. It happens but it's really not common and Apple always get you your device pretty quick once reported. 3000 is just a drop in the ocean for them, yes annoying if you are one of those 3000 but normally these guys are aiming at retail shipments as they come in in huge numbers.
 
Just got an email from Apple.

My 128GB silver just shipped, with a delivery for the 27th.

Tracking isn't available through UPS yet so it may come sooner.

:D

I ordered at 7am on the 12th, and I'm in Canada fwiw :)

My Birthday was the 12th so this is a gift to myself! lol
 
Ordered my 128GB Verizon around 6am EST launch morning.

Over the weekend, it went from Hong Kong to Anchorage to Memphis to Jamaica, NY (JFK) to Newark, NJ to NY to a FedEx truck, out for delivery today!

(Original delivery estimate from FedEx was Wed, 11/20)
 
Fedex- wouldn't let me pick it up this weekend. It was here Friday. It was set for delivery tomorrow by 10:30am.
Tracking shows out for delivery today, and I took a vacation day to be home(45miles away) tomorrow. Aghrrrrrr

I'm out for delivery, 32 GB space gray ATT ordered 1 min after orders went active. Came Fedex, shipped Thursday, original delivery date was 11/20.
 
In less than three hours, it'll be five straight days sitting in Chek Lap Kok. I can't imagine a circumstance in which it makes sense to have devices (ordered within ~2 hours of release!) sitting in storage for five days. So either the tracking system is borked and my device is actually close to my location, or something went very wrong with the shipping.

Yours doesn't have a departure scan yet? Mine got one this morning (with a time of 8:37 PM which I assume is HK local time )
 
Ordered 16gb AT&T retina mini at 8 am on 11/12. Shipped Friday 11/15 with a delivery date of 11/21, but it's on the truck for delivery today. Glad I didn't pay for expedited shipping.

Mine arrived this morning in the Netherlands. ETA for 11/22 so far .
I guess Posten is the post office ? How did you learn it wasn't TNT who is going to deliver ?
Click to expand...

Posten is the public postal delivery-service. TNT only deliver to companies in sentral parts of Norway, while they hand out packages that are going to costumers to Posten, that handles the package until the costumer gets it delivered. Then they try do deliver it on the door, If you dont answer they deliver it straight to the post office.
My package has left the Neterlands just recently :)
 
I ordered a 32GB ATT rMini at around 3:30ET on the 12th.

Got the noticed that it had departed Shenzen via UPS at 3:40pm (local time) on the 16th. It says it has been sitting in Chek Lap Kok since then.

Estimated delivery is Thursday, Nov. 21st according to Apple and UPS.

Nope. No departure scan.

Last thing: Arrival Scan at 2:30am (local time) in Chek Lap Kok on Thursday the 14th. In two hours and fifteen minutes, that'll be 5 days ago. Heh.
