Isn't the yellow just the adhesive from the screen that still needs to be dried? Give it a day or two. As for initiating a return, I've never done a return with Apple.

Yeah its not glue. There isn't that type of bonding in an iPad. Stop telling people this!
 
I had originally ordered a Space Grey 32 GB on T-Mobile on launch morning. I canceled it on Saturday and ordered a Verizon one instead. That how has shipped out with expected delivery of Friday 11/22! It has serial DLXL...hopefully no screen issues other than the expected dang gamut.
 
Applestore Returns

This is something I noticed a few days ago that those of you, like myself who purchased a few extra of these to resell this Holiday will want to take note of (longer than 14 days to send back, free return label, etc.):

Mine changed to 'preparing shipment'! Finally!

Ordered 128GB T-mobile on launch day.

I have been waiting for a week and finally changed from processing items to

preparing for shipment!!

How long will it take to be 'shipped'? any ideas?

I am so happy!!

I just checked mine as well and it also changed from "processing" to "preparing for shipment"!

From my experience, it usually takes anywhere from half a day to a full day to go from prep to shipped. Hope it goes quickly so I can play with mine over Thanksgiving :)
 
So I had UPS change the delivery to hold it at the UPS center instead of delivering it.... The package has now disappeared from tracking all info. It magically teleported 7000 miles in a matter of minutes, but they can confirm that it is not at the reported location. Moreover, they expected delivery time of 11/22 is now completely absent.

Ironically, Apple still thinks it will arrive today. I've reported the bug via their webforms. ;-)
 
If I don't get mine in time for Thanksgiving I'll just have to hold hostage my sister's rMini that should be delivered on the 25th that I paid for.:p:D

good luck with that..... it is being delivered to my office, remember? :D

btw, I can be bribed to go in on my day off (Wednesday) and pick yours up.... *Peppermint Mocha, hint hint*

True! Mine was preparing for shipment this morning and I got the shipment notice at 5 pm :)
 
So jealous. My two 128GB AT&T ordered on the 12th still show processing. Apple said there is little chance it will arrive before Thanksgiving. At least they are honest.

What time did you order them? I ordered mine at 1pm (EDT) and now preparing for shipping.

How could this happen? It is 3:13 pm right now.
 
any ideas with this one?

32GB, gray, retina mini.
Ordered on the 14th (last thursday) standard (free) shipping.
Could Apple have stopped the first one in Louisville and resent another?
Maybe, stop the "ghost, burn in display" one and reship a good one?
Or is it something really strange?

More likely a consignment was stolen.

How do you guys know the serial number of the mini that you ordered?

If you sign up for the UPS choice and it is shipped by UPS, you should have that as one of the reference numbers.
 
Hi,

Why are most of the orders I see on this thread for T mobile and ATT??? I just placed an order for Verizon 32GB and feel left out. Did i miss something by going with Verizon???

Thanks
 
Tnt suck!!!!

Ordered 128GB WiFi+Cell Space Grey as soon as pre-orders went live.

Not at all. I have a T-Mobile SIM in my Verizon Air right now. Plus, your IPad is now on the verizon whitelist so you won't have any hassles if you decide to use Verizon also.
 
3 days from china to Iowa. Delivered in the morning before my class start. FEDEX I LOVE YOU!! :D
