If you type in iPad in the reference box, it's showing me other peoples shipments to my area code. That's kind of scary that it'll show you that...
 
I ordered a 16GB Black (F4 serial number) and a Dark Grey Smart Cover. Order confirmed at 2:02 AM CT.

The Smart Cover was supposed to be delivered today, and I pre-signed for it, but UPS just left a note saying that it needs to be signed for!!?? Why my pre-sign form didn't work is beyond me, the Apple Store gave me the option, and I took it.

Anyway, hopefully tomorrow will work better.

No word on where my actual device is yet, though...

Also ordered the minute it came up, still "preparing for shipment" - black 16 GB Mini. Bah. Knowing Apple, I'll receive confirmation Thursday and get it Friday :p
 
I also have an F4 iPad mini 16gb Black and am unable to track via either UPS/FedEx

I am from the UK though- so don't know if that has any bearing on it
 
It has been interesting the last couple of days, my mini's apple store status is still preparing to ship. Actually, it is still with many others since last Sunday being held by Fed Ex at Middletown Pa, waiting for a release to shipping on assuming Thursday for the Friday delivery. Hopefully Hurricane Sandy's weather will be totally gone from the Harrisburg region by then.
 
The way you stated this made my day (the no big deal part)... well besides sandy going on. I'm waiting for something to (hopefully not truthfully) fall near me it's so windy.

I hope nothing fell on you.
That would *royally* suck.
 
My smart cover missed its scheduled connection, so it will be delivered tomorrow.

And mini is in Kentucky, still scheduled for Friday!
 
Delivery Time

Has anyone else noticed that smart covers are being delivered by 10:30 AM but the iPad Mini is by "end of day"?
WTF Apple!!??
 
i cant track mine it doesnt recognise the tracking number (serial number) im in the uk anyone else have this problem?
 
Ordered at the stroke of 3, 16gb black, serial showing up but no tracking any which-way.

Shipments are usually bulk regional. I have four 32GB white 4th gens ordered, and they're still "Preparing for shipment". I expect them to go out tonight or tomorrow morning.

Same!!! Just called Apple Support to ensure there was not an issue with my order and everything is on schedule (according to them). Hopefully tracking will pop up sooner than later!

My iPhone 5 quoted "end of day", but it actually arrived about 9:30 in the morning, 2 days earlier than promised. (This was several weeks after the release date.) The time you get it will mainly depend on the carrier's delivery schedule.

Yeah, kind of weird. I noticed that this seems to work on UPS but not Fed Ex.
 
Here's the location of my iPad right now.

So currently both my smart cover and mini are in a holding pattern in Louisville Kentucky.
Here's to hoping the mini slips through and is delivered tomorrow with my cover.

Apple Canada was saying similar things during the iPhone 5 launch. There's always a chance that you won't get your iPad on the 2nd, but if you look at the delivery map on Apple.ca and you're in Zone 1, you'll probably get it on Friday.
