For the guys that have received notice that their Smart Cover has shipped via UPS with tracking number...how long did the tracking information take to show up on the UPS tracking site? I received the e-mail notice early this morning, and the UPS site is still not showing any info when I put in the tracking number! It says...">>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Yeah I got that earlier today but when I checked early this evening it had updated (last scan departed Shenzen 5:55pm). Apple says 10/31 delivery. UPS says 10/30 though.

My white iPad 64 just showed up on my devices list on support profile.. still no luck tracking by reference on UPS or fedex though.. Its an F4, 40th week model apparently.. smart cover is tracking for a 30th delivery by UPS
 
Interesting... was able to track my wife's 16GB White iPad Mini Wi-Fi using Reference on UPS's website, but it's not showing up on her Support Profile. Anyone else at this stage?
 
Well I just checked my support profile page and the serial # for my ipad mini have just been added.

Starts with F4 (Week 40)
 
In FedEx track by reference , I used my phone number

Then FedEx shows your tracking number

Glad it worked for you :)
All I got was:

Not Found
No information for the following shipments has been received by our system yet. Please try again later or contact Customer Service.

:eek:

Apple Store shows a deliver date of 11/2 and preparing for shipment.
Placed my order just before 3 am EST ;)

Thanks anyway :)

How do you look that up?
 
UK here. Pre-ordered white 32GB LTE iPad mini, currently "processing" and set to arrive "late November" - patience optional!

Also separately ordered (to ensure no risk of delaying iPad mini order) a Smart Cover and HDMI adapter (for streaming/playing videos on hotel TVs). These set to dispatch 2-3 weeks, arriving 13th-19th November.

Now on to selling my iPad 2 and Nexus 7.

Cool. Thanks for the link. Never saw that support page before. I see one of my 2 minis listed so far.

EDIT: nothing on FedEx or UPS yet.
 
Yours says 1 pound & mine says 2 pounds

I ordered the same 16gb wifi black


I'm in the USA , you are in Canada

That's weird how everyone's iPad mini is showing up on their support page but mine. However, mine shows up on the UPS page.

EDIT: Nevermind... now it shows up....with my other Apple devices.

weep

:( mine has changed from 2/11 expected to 15/11 :eek: what is that all about. got my order in at 3mins past the hour and was pretty chuffed as it was first time using the app to order anything.

wonder why the delivery expectation has changed since i placed my order? just a white wifi 16GB nothing else. (UK)

if I find out apple has diverted some UK stock to those tea-wasting colonists there will be a stern letter heading for California...... ;)

No tracking by reference though on FedEx or UPS, but on the Apple site it does say it is preparing for shipment which is a good sign.
 
Production week #40.

----------

Mine doesn't show up on my support page either but it just popped up on ups.

It will pop up on the support page within hours. It did for me within a few minutes of seeing that on the UPS site.
 
Mine is production week 43... but still not able to find it on UPS and Fedex... still showing prep for shipping (canada)
 
Both of mine (32GB Black mini and dark grey Smart Cover) are showing up as being shipped by UPS from China. (So whoever said that the blacks were being made in Brazil got it wrong.)
Cover with delivery 10/30 - yeah good luck with that with Frankenstorm hitting NYC!!!
Mini with delivery by end of day 11/2 - hoping Sandy clears out of the way by then!!!
Apple status still in "processing" for the Mini though and no email or text from them either.

hey what reference code are you using to track your iPads? where are you getting it from?

also to the previous poster who has seen their UK white iPad mini change delivery date, that is odd because several of us in the uk tried to order white, but there was none available a minute or two after 8 am, all saying dispatched in 2 weeks, so I don't know how you got one. Maybe they made a mistake saying it would be delivered on launch day, because it does't look like the uk, or other countries outside of the us had any white online for launch day purchase..
