Your scans have been exactly 1 day ahead of the rest of us for most of this process. Maybe Monday is a possibility.
Congrats on receiving it. Hope it is terrific.
That is exactly what happened to me, and still showing 11/23 for my White 32gb AT&T. Read a few posts above, I got some compensation for it.
Thanks. Same to you.
FWIW AT&T users - had no problem transferring unlimited data plan from an iPad 3 to mini
Mine is the very same as yours and I'm in Memphis too, so maybe hope for me!! My tracking says 11/20
Mine too was scheduled for Monday and now says availible for pickup at my FedEx store
I i'm getting crap too, and all I want are my 2 mini's. I got 2 free smart covers and 2 sets of ear pods. AT&T gave my a $100 credit when I called and asked about an ipad rebate.
Are u serious?? I couldn't imagine how that would happen...it shows in transit now?? Or does it properly show delivered??
With a sad face...mine was built the last week of September (week 39) and is still in Shanghi ......
Hope it gets here before the warranty runs out....
They reported that it was actually not the mini they ordered, but was instead a Wifi version with a different tracking and order number than theirs.
Yeah, my support profile says my warranty started on 11/13 and I'm kind of like, "Excuse me???"
Ok, to update... I was on the phone with Apple arguing that I didn't order a wifi only model and where the hell is my LTE version when my wife walks by and picks up the box and says is this the wifi model I ordered for your mom for Christmas...£|£{*|!|£\¥\*{£~!!!! I am such an idiot!
Apologies to all! Here's to FedEx hopefully getting mine here by Monday....

iPad mini 16GB white AT&T that I ordered at the stroke of midnight on the preorder date...
...doesn't show on my support profile;
...still shows 21 November with standard delivery and 5 business days for shipment;
...received an email 8 full days ago that I'd be receiving a tracking number within 5 business days.
I called Apple. They said they'd comp me a Smart Cover and a 5W charger. And now 20 November shows as my delivery date with next day delivery.
Pretty disappointed, but this just is how it is now that most everyone loves Apple.

I just got an automated notice from the Apple Store saying:
"Our records indicate Next Day Shipping was added to your order. Since
your item is shipping from overseas, we are unable to guarantee Next Day
Shipping.
As a result, weve removed Next Day Shipping from your order and you
will not be charged."
Interestingly, it never actually showed that next day shipping had been removed - last night it still said overnight.
This is an AT&T black 64GB mini.
This morning it shipped, after being in "preparing for shipment" since the 8th. FedEx says it should be delivered by the 21st at 10:30 am.
I'm going to try my luck reserving one at the local Apple Store at 10:00pm.

Mine has said on FedEx truck for delivery since 8:30 am. But now it is the end of the day and the delivery date still says the 19th by 4:30. So I guess it is just going to sit on the truck all weekend.
Yeah, they've really allowed themselves to slip. With competition on their heels, they're going to have to step it up in customer service to stay relevant. The days of people eating up anything they put out are gone. Look at the marketshare, Android keeps gaining ground. Yeah Apple still sells millions of units, but once they drop below the 50% mark (it's WHEN, not IF), there will be a "herd mentality" shifting away... remember when people started adopting iPhone, it was a herd mentality... if friends have it, we want it. I see more and more people with SGSIII, and while they obviously don't yet have the appeal of iPhone, Samsung is a very smart company, as is google, and together they will create great things. I'm a bit disappointed to see Apple slipping, I consider myself a "fan" (not fanboy hehe).. so I want to see Apple succeed, but with no NFC, and no real new "features" to brag about in the new OS, it seems like there is some stagnation. Maybe I expect too much, but if you constantly come in first place at every attempt, then you come in second, people will be disappointed, even if you have 8 behind you.
I've been exclusively with Apple since my first Mac: Macintosh LC in 1990. The company has done great despite feature checklist competition the demand is insanely strong the stores do really well with customer service (remember CompUSA?) I don't think Apple has slipped at all; rather, everyone's expectations are insanely high. Alas, I'm still really excited for iPad mini.
