iPad mini iPad Mini with Cellular Pre-order Thread

I think I come back to this thread over and over to just piss myself off more. People are seeing them in the States aready???? wow, I could have driven to China during the time my stupid Mini is "Preparing for Shipment".
 
Both of mine just switched to Monday now. That's a bummer. Last scan is from HK. Both Verizon models. I hope it's an error but I don't have my hopes up. I'll go check the store on Friday.

I ordered at 64GB white AT&T mini and I am still "preparing for shipment". I received my order confirmation 2 minutes into the preorder yet some other AT&T 64GB are seeing movement?!? What gives? I don't ever remember having such a seemingly disorganized launch of the original iPad when cellular was offered at a similar delay. Wait, was that the original or the iPad 2, it all seems like so long ago.

International shipment release - Import
MEMPHIS, TN

Both of my Verizon 16GBs have cleared customs. Looks like a delivery for the 16th is going to happen!

I called Apple for answers...

I called Apple to inquiry about this, after all I did order within minutes of launch.

I explained the situation to the Apple rep & asked if it's possible to get a little more "insight".

The Apple Rep said, "I can absolutely help you with this, give a few moments while look into it".
He then proceeded to tel me, " Well it looks like your iPad mini is preparing for shipment and when it ships I should receive an email"

I paused to collect myself, and said, "The reason I'm calling is to see if I get a bit more "insight" from you other than the information that is already available when I log in and check".

The Apple rep then said, "well I can tell you that it's very typical that these might get delayed since it's a new product but you should be getting a shipment notification as soon as it ships"



...... It's very rare that I run into someone that can manage to tell me a whole lot without actually saying anything, and making it seem as if it helped..... maybe that's a quality desired to work there.
 
Well my 16gb AT&T is over water right now enroute to Anchorage. Should land in 2-3 hours, but I'm not able to find a scheduled flight our of Alaska yet.

Time to sleep.
 
64 gig AT&T slate. Finally changed to preparing for shipment from processing order. Still says delivery on 11-21.
 
Wow, seriously? I think I'm the only ATT mini that hasn't shipped yet now.
 
Ordered Nov 9

iPad Mini 32gb LTE White ordered Nov 9 was change to 'Preparing for Shipment' and CC pinged this am. Still states delivery Nov 21 - Sigh, this is a long wait
 
Sweet, mine is in Raleigh now! Hoping it makes it on the truck for delivery this morning.

Still scheduled for a16 Nov delivery tho... Maybe I will get lucky by a day!
 
Mine is In a distribution center in Washington Dc

So close, but delivery still showing 11/16. The case I ordered from Amazon arrived yesterday (ordered Tuesday). So all Is ready. I am prepared for the likelihood iPad Mini won't come until 10:30am tomorrow, but sure would be nice if it came today.
 
mini black 16gb still as of 7:42 am EST preparing for shipment since the weekend....
 
Since my order (slate 32gb Att mini) seems frozen in time with prepared shipment and pending credit card charge I went to an Att store yesterday and asked if they would have the mini in stock on Friday. The representative/manager said they had expected them in last week and they are planning a "reset" this Friday. A reset apparently is when they add new merchandise to the their floor displays and they were hoping for a delivery Thursday or Friday. Sounds like Apple is keeping everyone in the dark.
 
Preparing to ship my att 32gb white since last week. Pending cc charge since Sunday, no move otherwise.

Normally I take my chances in the store but I thought ordering would get it to me quicker this time. Guess I was wrong. Frustrating.

My ATT 64GB White has left:
5:16 pm
Left FedEx origin facility
SHANGHAI CN

That mean it is on a flight?

Don't think it does mean it is on a flight. Mine also left Shanghai Origin Facility 11/14 at 5:16pm and have not seen an update for over 24hrs.

Would have expected that our devices would be in the US by now but have not seen any kind of customs scans or arrival scans.

My sense now is that both of our devices are sitting in Shanghai (and have been for over 24hrs) waiting for a plane ride.

Hope to see some movement today but my delivery date of 11/20 hasn't wavered despite holding out hope it would catch a flight yesterday and be delivered Friday.
 
My iPad Mini (16Gb, Black, Verizon) is out for delivery as of 8:07 Am. Delivery is shown as "by the end of the day" and if previous experience holds, it will be later in the afternoon.

Grats! Looks like they aren't holding yours till next week. Makes my 'prepared for shipment' status feel that much worse though...
