in what step is your order (preparing for shipment, etc,)? I called earlier and was told that they cant update shipping because it is already in preparing for shipment status

It was about 10 minutes after I ordered, "Processing items". If it's in Preparing for shipment then it would be too late to change.
 
just hit an epiphany.

Today is the day that Ipad mini 2 wifi goes on sale, and it is also the day to PRE-ORDER ipad rMini wifi+cellular
 
I just called and was offered a smart case for my "trouble".

I'm not complaining.

And when I log back online to check my status, my shipping has been upgraded to next day and it now shows shipping date of "Nov 20 - Nov 27"

Thanks for the tip about calling to upgrade shipping. :)
 
Yay! Let's deplete stock so we can rip other people off when they can't buy one. Sigh.

You haven't seen a Sony playstation launch then. Just wait till this Friday.

----------

I'm so upset. I ordered this morning at 5AM and my local target has 10 of them right now. And I have that $200 gift card from the iPad 1 trade. Still trying to decide if I should go out now and buy it. What would you guys do?

Go get it.
 
Agreed! Called and got the same.:)

Not me... I called and was told my order was under review. They couldn't expedite.
32 gb space grey ATT model ordered at 3:30 am with Apple care
Available to ship: 5-10 Business Days
Delivers: Nov 26 - Dec 4

Just now upgraded me but delivery only shaved one day. Maybe that model is in short supply.

Target has them? o_O
 
I canceled my online order after seeing that my local Apple store had a rMini in stock. So now my question is, how soon long does it take until it's ready for pickup? Less than an hour? I'm hoping I can grab it in time before the store closes in 3 hours.

As of right now my order has been 3 hours ago.
My store said they're getting a ton of online orders which is causing the delay; might have to wait till tomorrow AM
 
Ipad mini Retina Apple.com order thread

My local store (Atlanta) got them in so now I need to cancel my online order which is already Preparing for Shipment since I'm picking up in-store tonight now instead.

Mine was in preparing to ship and they won't cancel it. They said either return label or when I receive it take it back to apple. I was on the phone for 20min but they said NO :(

I tried to cancel and they offered me nothing what number did you call and what department?

Yeah that sucks you can't cancel it once it goes to that stage. If you have the funds only other thing you can do is buy another one from the local stores.
 
I knew I wouldn't be able to resist the urge. I absolutely love my Air but I just have to give the Mini a shot first. Ordered for local pickup, just waiting on the email since they're in-stock at the store.
 
Just returned both iPad Airs and placed an order for two 128GB AT&T rMinis. 5-10 business days. Same since early this morning.

I checked all the Peninsula Apple stores and none had 64GB or 128GB Cellular models for in store pickup. Hillsdale had no display models or even WiFi for walk-in.
 
My 128g VZW LTE is also 5-10 days out but they charged by debit card this morning and my status is still processing.

That's a good sign - I've only been charged for the smart cover which is prepared for shipping. Maybe they're going to start shipping...
 
Completely out of stock in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I didn't even realize the stores would have them thanks to dead macrumors so I ordered online this morning. Same as everyone, preparing to ship.

My bet is a bunch ship tonight.

Same, none of the stores here in the cities have them, but they've made it to Chicago.

I also ordered at 7:30 AM this morning, but I'm hoping by 7:30 AM tomorrow morning there are some in stock at the stores and hoping Apple doesn't charge my card by then and I can cancel the order and pick up after work.
