iPad mini iPad Mini with Cellular Pre-order Thread

The two delivery dates Apple gave me were 11/23 and 11/16 (this Friday).

After it shipped, FedEx's "estimated delivery" was originally Thursday, then slipped to Friday, and for whatever reason is now showing Monday -- but it's out for delivery now. Bonkers.

I hope FedEx is unexpectedly early for others, too! :)

Losing hope with 4 days in prepared for shipment already I think I'm just gonna relax a little and get excited with you guy receiving the minis today and tomorrow. Enjoy for all of us sitting in china or preparing for shipment (I have one on each stage on chinas FedEx facility and other prepared for shipment)

ENJOY AND CONGRATS

Anyone else feel like Apple is using LIFO to send the minis out? Many of us who stayed up at night to order are stuck at preparing while others who ordered a week later are getting theirs today or tomorrow.

Just got off the phone with them. Got a free smart cover but I'd rather pay them $40 to get the mini this week. AAARGH!
 
Mine went from China to Memphis Hub ( I live right outside of Memphis) and is now right around the corner at the local sorting facility about 2 miles from me. Channeling FedEx dude's to put in on the truck for delivery today :) I'll even offer them a hot cup of cocoa when they deliver today or tomorrow :cool:

BTW try to be nice to your delivery person! It's not their fault all this crazy stuff is happening and I am acting like a kid at Christmas!

Is there an old picture thread somewhere we can resurrect when we get them? Also post your LTE speeds that you get on your LTE iPad Mini!

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.

I have the same tracking and had the same hopes about being mine delivered tomorrow. If they had been on one of the Memphis planes last night it would have been here tomorrow. My Smart Cover was at my door fewer than 24 hours after landing in Memphis. Those hopes are now dashed. I still think it should at least be the 19th though, and not the 20th. Unless they really are just going to sit in Shanghai and not move at all for a couple more days.

Sweet, mine is in Raleigh now! Hoping it makes it on the truck for delivery this morning.

Mine said it was at my local FedEx facility at 6:00am, but still scheduled to deliver tomorrow. I called FedEx and they agreed to put it on a truck today. I just checked the tracking again, and it says out for delivery!!! Yippie!!!!

I'm sure if you call before mid-morning, they'll do the same for you.

:D:D:D:D

I'm feeling the same frustrations. I may have to make a call this afternoon. I know they can't do anything, but maybe I can get some free stuff too! :D
 
Woot!

I ordered 2 at 3am ET on the preorder day and both are on the Fedex truck out for delivery today.
 
Well, I'm not proud of myself but I decided to call Apple to see why mine hasn't shipped knowing full well that the poor support guys wouldn't know but figuring I might as well try to get a free smart cover. The guy told me it *would* ship today (uh-huh). He did not offer a smart cover so I had to ask but I did get a free one. If these are available in store tomorrow & I still have no shipping information, I'll just pick one up & return mine when it gets here.
 
Look at this news

Is anyone elses just sitting at local fedex facility? I'm afraid that since it says estimated delivery 11/16 they will hold it until tomorrow even though it's currently in my city...

Call them and see if you can de pickup
 
Remember I am from the South...(This only pertains to me) You might be a redneck if you sit in front of your computer for 2 days tracking a iPad Mini shipment from China to your house :)

OUT FOR DELIVERY.........wooohooo :)
 
16GB AT&T Black on flight FX72. Should arrive today in Memphis at 10:06AM. However, FedEx website still shows 11/19 delivery

Hmm, weird. For folks that pre-ordered and FedEx is delivering, does FedEx even go thru JFK? I thought they did their own hubs. Wonder if these were destined for Apple Stores?

Just received mine and it went through MEMPHIS, TN, shipped via HK.
