This makes no sense...

My order says it's backordered, but my order status page shows a FedEx tracking number and ship date of 3/31/16....

No idea what AT&T is doing.

Mine shows a tracking number and ship date of 3/30, but tracking not active. I think the tracking number is a place holder and will be the tracking number when it ships.
 
I am in same boat. My keyboard tracking has looked exactly like yours for the last 5 days. Now it says it has departed Hong Kong and my delivery date has been moved back to April 4 from March 31. Very, very disappointed.

My tracking (10:00 pm Arizona time) now says it made it to Alaska today at 3:10 pm Alaska time and departed there at 4:50 pm. Scheduled delivery is now back to 03/31/2016 by the end of the day.
 
Ok now it went from back ordered to shipping? Get it together AT&T!!!!

Plus, my tracking numbers show ship date and scheduled delivery as "pending". So, not sure if it actually shipped, or is just a place holder. Many times, tracking gets delayed being updated accurately, but no way to tell for sure here.

I am the same on tracking, but still Back Ordered as my status. Hmmm.
 
Fingers crossed tracking number better get working...
i have also planned to pick it up tomorrow at apple store.

The only reason I have a good feeling is the cancel order button is gone, so maybe they did ship, hopefully.
 
Hehe, thank you, sometimes there is a benefit to being in Australia. That didn't happen with the original iPhone or iPad, so maybe this is helping make up for it.

I had been setting my iPads up from backup since my first iPad & never had an issue or noticeable performance problems.....but I have read that setting up as new can help with performance, so I have decided to set it up as new this time. I have loaded my most used apps on it already, but have many more that I will add at lunch time and tonight (I'm at work).
I am going to a meeting in 15 mins in which I will use the iPad with Apple Pencil in Notability. Makes me more excited for the meeting today. lol
I got the 256GB iPad.....so will be able to load even more TV shows, podcasts, photos, etc. Plus, I like adventure games & those find-it adventures which are large in size.

Wishing you luck in iPad deliveries. I better prepare for my meeting.
What games do you play? I have only found one game that I liked for ipad and that one was called "the room"
 
mine is suppose to arrive today and it's still showing on my tracking as scanned at Nashville TN and I'm in Minneapolis MN ?? hopefully the tracking has just not updated yet

Even though it says origin scan, it's probably already on the airplane. flight aware.com tracks UPS and Fedex airplanes and you can look at the airplanes departing from the state it shipped from, it will probably be one or two only so you can recognize it. mine says origin scan but is going to arrive to my state in an hour.

Ugh, annoyed again. There is no option to hold at the FedEx office on my tracking form or pre-sign for the delivery so I am going to miss the delivery. I will leave a note on the door but that likely won't matter to them. I guess I'll just have to wait another day.

As soon as my order popped up on UPS I set it to be picked up at the nearest UPS Customer Center by me (not UPS Store).

It's almost to my area right now. So hopefully I can pick it up on my way to work at 9am.

Got an email from Target, order is delayed until 4/14-4/29. Probably going to cancel the order and either pick one up at Best Buy which has stock of the one I want, or the Apple Store.
 
made some progress on mine. it has now landed in Minneapolis, MN but still waiting for it to go out for delivery...
