Mine's exactly the same info as above! Will they ship tomorrow for a release day delivery?
 
Hi, where are people finding their serial numbers? my order only has the part number and states it preparing for shipment for 11/2
 
Ordered at about 8:04am on the 26th and had 2 weeks wait, if i cancel the smart cover will it be here sooner.. Don't want to cancel it and then it makes no difference and then takes forever for my cover to arrive?

Not really as the Whites were out of stock and at two weeks when the preordering started in the UK.

Your delivery date of the 16th is only one day after mine, which is for the iPad only. If you cancel the case you'll have to pay delivery on it separately...
 
Thats annoying!

Might take a chance on saturday and go to my local store I guess!

Thanks!
 
You could cancel the case and just pick one up in store this weekend, sure there will be plenty of cases

Edit - just read your post again, no wont make any difference, i ordered same model at 8.02 am and mine delivers 15th Nov, dont think they had any stock of the whites!!!

The store rep on the phone said it would be the ipad holding up the order, might just take the risk!
 
My guess is that Apple will send out Shipment Notifications tonight (normally around 18:50) - this is what happened to me when the iPhone 5 was dispatched.
 
I cancelled the case and its automatically changed to the 15th, I'll head down to my store on Saturday and pick up a cover!

One day early is a bonus I guess!
 
Has anyone heard if Argos / John Lewis / Comet etc are going to have stock on Friday??

I keep checking the Apple support profile page and i dont have an ipad mini allocated as yet so presume they are still in production. Will keep checking this as mine says delivers by 15th so not sure if that means i could get it early or actually on the 15th November

Currys/PC World say no, no word back from Argos.

A John Lewis employee elsewhere is adamant that they will have stock on Friday, but officially the answer is still no.

JL answer to me yesterday was as follows

Thank you for your email regarding the iPad mini.

The release date for this iPad by Apple if this Friday, 2 November 2012. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee we will be selling it at John Lewis on this release day. Please check our website regularly on and after Friday for the stock to become available online.

For any further assistance, please contact me again.
Kind regards,

Thanks d123, im in no rush but was disappointed when i got in early to then have to wait until the 15th, suppose i used up my luck when i bagged the ip5 at Eldon Square on the weekend after release:D

Will still probs try other stores and then if lucky just cancel the online order

----------

I suppose the other thing is will stores have the white models if there were no stock at all for pre order :confused: or do they hold a certain amount back for the Apple store and other suppliers:confused:

Time will tell but hope you all get the black ones ok on Friday:D
 
Just had a reply from John Lewis Newcastle

Thank you for your email regarding the release of the iPad Mini.

We do not currently have any confirmed plans for this release however usually we will release this item for sale at the same time as Apple.

It may be that closer to the date there is a particular time announced during the day of release from which purchases can be made. However, at this time I am unable to confirm details of this. I would recommend you contact us closer to the time for an update. We are usually unable to reserve these items in advance of release as these products tend to be sold on a first come first served basis.

Should you have any other queries please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
Becky Scraggs
Customer Service
John Lewis

I've replied and said that as the release date is Friday, how much closer would they like to be contacted for more details :confused:.
