Mine says the same. "Preparing for shipment" my Smart Cover is to be delivered Tuesday. (Ordered both on the same order)

I'm starting to lose faith that it will indeed be here on the 31st. If that's the case I might just order another one for in-store pick up on Thursday.

I'm sure they'll hit their deadlines. Apple always waits till the last minute to shift stock to depots so have faith, it'll arrive!

Don't forget that there's a huge time difference between Europe/US and China.

Showed up in my UPS My Choice account. Next dat delivery on Thursday.
How were you able to track your order? Just with the apple order number?

Also, apple wasn't able to cancel my iPad anymore. Now that's not interesting to any of you, but I ordered straight at 7:01am on the 24th and according to the guy who wrote me an email said it will be shipped in the next 48hrs to be delivered on the 31st.
That means all our iPads (uk) are either already on the 5x1/ups1 flight or they'll get shipped tomorrow at 12:40pm Hong Kong time (I think that's about 5:40am over here in the uk) on flight 5x3/ups3. So, if your tracking doesn't show anything yet then it might be because of them not leaving until tomorrow.
Guess we'll have to wait and see. Either way, we'll all get the iPads on Thursday :)

Day 1 pre-order, no change still preparing for shipment
I know I mentioned flight 5x1/ups1 earlier, but there is also still the possibility that the iPads to the uk ship tomorrow with flight 5x3/ups3 leaving at 12:40 local time (about 5:40am uk time)
So, if you and the rest of us don't see a change yet then there might be a big possibility that they don't ship until tomorrow.
Same goes for orders outside the U.K. There is more ups flights today and tomorrow. Hope that helps.
 
My iPad shipment still says "preparing for shipment," whereas the package with my smart Keyboard just changed from delivery on March 31 to delivery on April 1! What the heck?

iPad has NOT shown up on my UPS my choice, either.

Sad emoji.
 
iPad still says preparing for shipment and my Smart Keyboard has slipped from 3/31 to 4/1. :(
 
Starting to get anxious about the delivery of my iPad which it says will be delivered on 31st March but it hasn't moved from Preparing to Dispatch yet. However, it does show up on my Apple Support Profile so it is further on than some peoples.

Further along than mine (ordered early on the 24th). :p
