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

StevenT42 said:
I said that I wanted to upgrade shipping, and the rep said she would do it for free.

Then I called back and asked if I could order AppleCare+, they said I would have to cancel my original order and purchase it with the iPad. I had them do that and split it across two credit cards, and the rep said because we had to jump thru hoops to add AppleCare+ that he would comp me the Smart Cover that I had ordered. Then he comped me the 2-3 day shipping again.

I'm a happy customer.

So I read this after I called and got comped the expedited shipping. Guy asked if I wanted to add AppleCare and I declined, womp womp:eek:

I guess they're aware of the strangeness of the delayed launch and figure 99 bucks for AppleCare (which is literally just straight cash in their pocket, even if you need to replace at $79) and a case that cost them pennies is pretty good added-value and keeps folks happy on top.

Is it just me, or those who have UPS as their shipping carrier got Friday deliveries versus those who have FEDEX as the shipping carrier (me), get Monday delivery?

I'm guessing those who chose expedited shipping get UPS while standard shipping gets FedEx. It's nbd, you'll get it Monday with standard instead of Friday.

I paid for the 2/3 day ship and my tracking number says Monday... Maybe I'll call and and have them refund the shipping if it stays that way.
 
I'm very surprised these are still up for purchase with a reasonable arrival date. I got in a few hours after they went up for sale, 128 GB. Was it always 5-10 days for shipping on that model or did I miss out on an earlier window?

Most of us here were pretty convinced these would sell out and not be available for Christmas, or is it still too early to tell?

Anything over a 32GB wifi only was 5-10 days.
 
I ordered an 32GB Cellular in Space Grey yesterday, now it have changed status to "Preparing for Shipment". But it is also saying "Available to ship: 5-10 Business Days", so I am a bit confused, is it already ready for shipping, or do I have to wait another 5-10 business days until it get shipped?

I ordered the same thing at 8am EST yesterday (30 hours ago). Mine still says processing order. I think you will get yours very soon. Once it gets to that state I think it usually ships within a day and ships very fast.

I can't wait to see mine change status.

Mine changed to processing today as well. Still has a delivery date between the 26 and 4th though so I don't know.
 
My Verizon 32g white still says "processing items". I ordered around 1am PST on the 12th, about an hour after they started taking orders. I can't wait for mine to change to preparing for shipment! LOL.

What time did you have your order in? I had my order confirmation 7 minutes after the Apple store came back online and mine still says order in processing.

I think this, if true, is big news. Preparing for shipment means it'll probably switch to shipped today. Let us know! This would be the first sign of cellular shipments.
 
It still says 26th November to 3rd December delivery date for me, and its going to ship all the way to Norway, I´ll check on the status tomorrow and see, maybe I´m going to call the Apple Store if I dont see any changes.

I ordered it yesterday, at 11:45 AM Central European Time.
 
I just got a charge alert from my cc company for Apple. Shipping soon, I hope??????

128gb white LTE
 
I ordered a 128g ATT White iPad Mini w/ Retina day they were available. Confirmation of order was emailed to me at 12:01am same day.

As of a few moments ago my order has moved into "Preparing for Shipment" with estimated delivery of Nov 25th - Dec 3rd via Next Day Shipping to California.

Will see how this plays out as it looks like stock is starting to also show up in Apple stores in CA. I have yet to see 128g Cellular models but 64g are showing up.
 
same here, ordered 128gb att, its says processing, reserved a 64gb att locally for now, no 128s available locally. If the 128 ships in the next 48 hours, I'll cancel the local pickup.
 
I ordered a 64GB Verizon yesterday, and I just noticed that my local stores are getting them in stock!

Of course, when I just checked my status, it had already changed to "Preparing for Shipment."
 
One and only one local store JUST got some in so I reserved one about ten minutes ago, cancelled my online order which wasn't going to ship for a while (64 gig model) and just as I was typing this I got the email that my store is ready for me to pick it up.

w00t w00t
 
No 128GB cellular in Northern California stores so far. I did see white 128GB WiFi only in a couple locations for pickup. 64GB cellular are trickling into stores in Northern California. Given yesterday no stores in my area had any cellular in stock, this is a huge improvement. Unfortunately, I ordered with gifts and already destroyed the zero value cards, so I can't cancel my order and reserve smaller 64GB cellulars for in store pick-up. Apple did comp the expedited shipping and offered cases, but I already had free cases from the iPad Air launch day debacle which were exchanged for mini cases.

Here's to hoping the high capacity cellular models start shipping today.
 
If anyone is in the Bay Area, Hillsdale has 64gb white AT&T in stock. Too bad I'm looking for 128. :(
