Would you want an ipad with a year old battery?

If it hasn't been used, sure, why not.

I just got this in the email.

So I started looking at the UPS flights to Cologne and found UPS213 is about to land so there could be some progress in orders soon. It came from Louisville so it's possible some of our iPads are on that flight. Otherwise there is another flight UPS1 coming from Hong Kong to Cologne but it won't land for a while yet. Either way we'll definitely see progress made soon on our orders!

This would make a lot of sense, since most of UPS' items go through there. And they would split the shipment from the factory and send it to more local hubs like cologne for the UK

They have charged my card for the amount of the iPad now. Previously they put a hold for the money on the card but now it has been taken.

Edit: iPad now dispatched with UK Mail.

Mine still has nothing.

Since I apparently won't be getting the Keyboard until Friday I hope that at least the iPad comes Thursday still :( Ordered the morning of the 24th.
 
I see UK Mail are bringing yours, DPD for me so I get a nice 1hr delivery window.

Can't wait for Thursday now!

And real time GPS tracking of the driver! So I'm also hoping for DPD, they are bringing my pencil tomorrow so hopefully that's who Apple use in my area.

It's going to be a long week! I will hopefully get mine on the 1st, however I will get it at work. Pretty much from Thursday to Sunday I'm at work all weekend so I won't have much time to play with it. Just like when I got my iPad Pro, got it just after Thanksgiving break which was a 10 day work period, that was crappy!
 
Support - Yesterday
ordered - 24th 8:30am
Courier - DPD

So jealous! I ordered at 12:03 Pacific Time and the iPad still says "preparing for shipment" and delivery of the smart keyboard has now been pushed back to Friday, April 1! C'mon, man!
 
I'm buying a 128 GB space grey wifi from Costco. Although, I wonder if they are going to have it on Launch day. Either way, I don't mind waiting. Costco's return policy is great if for some reason I'm not happy. I haven't had a iPad since the second genaration iPad mini.
 
suppose to be getting my smart cover and silicone case today. might be returning the silicone case though if it adds too much bulk to the ipad.
