*reallly need a ROFL gif/emoticon MR mods!*
 
Upgraded on March 22nd and Just saw that my order is in China right now. Just got my tracking. UPS is the shipper for me.

I'm in California

I have some news that should make everyone happy. I just got delivered a package that I ordered, and asked my driver about Saturday Delivery and he told me that according to UPS policy all saturday deliveries must be completed before Noon local time. So that means by noon all the iPads should be in our hands. 😀

Now regarding those who do not get Saturday Delivery then I don't have an answer for you.

I'll believe it when I see it 😉

Mine was only just prepared for shipment last night and I got my tracking number this morning. I was starting to get worried, but that's more because of my worrisome personality than the use of logic or reason in developing a reasonable fear or concern.

But still, it's always nice to get a tracking number.

Now I'm just trying to decide if I should cancel my iPad Case order from the Apple Store and just venture over to Best Buy on Saturday and pick one up. I'm torn. Of course, I could just go to Best Buy if my case doesn't come with my iPad and if I do pick up a case, just return the one from Apple when it comes if it's shipped by then.

Why cancel your case order? You will probably get the case before you get the iPad. My case was charged yesterday, which means it should be shipping today or tomorrow.

Mine was prepared for shipment yesterday, but I'm still waiting on a tracking number.

I think you have that backwards. iPad delivers by 4/3. Cases and docks ship by 4/3 (if you ordered them early enough). I'm expecting my case and dock no sooner than 4/5.

Wow, you people really really really need to just calm down and stay away from the tracking status. Seriously, this is just sad and pathetic. Calling UPS just because of this? Don't you people have things to do except worrying iPad every second? Jesus christ.

It's just a device. It'll come when the company say it'll come. Don't worry about the delivery status say, it'll come. When it doesn't come, that's when you need to start calling, not the other way.

Trust me people, when you stop worrying, time will fly by fast and before you know it, iPad is in your hand. Worrying like this is just adding pain and misery. *sighs*

Excuse me, but weren't you the THREAD STARTER? 🙄

Oh...they are in the US. I have proof. UPS drivers are now taunting us.

Hilarous. Now does the huge dent in the truck scare anybody? Looks like someone took a crowbar to it and tried to get in.

Oh, yeah. I didn't mean to imply I was worried about it. It's just interesting to watch the distribution moving.

Oh, I didn't really think you were worried . . . just excited like most of us are. I think it's fun watching your iPad's progress to it's destination.
The anticipation is almost as much fun as having it in your hands.

I was simply checking to see if the item would in fact get here on Saturday as stated by Apple. This is why tracking info is made available to the general public so they can accuratley check where their packages sit and when they will arrive. I dont see how it is really effecting you if people are a little bit excited about a new product arriving and want to see when it will exaclty get to their houses. It is not much different than tons of people setting up campsites outside Apple stores 😱

Yeah but it's kind of anal to be bothering them 4 days before the release date. I'm just as excited as anybody else and it's cool to be really excited, but to say that the tracking number not saying exactly what you want to is an "issue" is kind of ridiculous.

Some of you people would be better off if they didn't give out tracking numbers. The guy who waits casually until Saturday for his iPad (as was promised when we all ordered them) and the guy who obsessively checks his e-mail/order status/tracking number and bugs people on the phone all day are both going to get their iPad on Saturday. I understand the excitement, but obsessing over tracking details does not equate to "being excited"; it equates to somewhere along the lines of paranoia and insecurity.

okay point taken...jeez...didnt know I was going to rile anyone up by being obsessive...okay okay...Ill back it off...I just wanted to know when I was going to receive. I guess with me, I usually buy in store and not via Apple website so this is a first for me so thats why I am a little bit more obsessive since it was a big chunk of money to drop and its different than getting in hand at the store....but your somewhat right...Apple said April 3rd so it will be April 3rd! thanks...😎

They (Apple) don't charge until it is ready to be shipped. "Ships by" is just delivery padding. It is very likely people will recieve them this week.

We will see I guess, but, not having the case before my iPad is still not going to get me into an Apple store on the 3rd 😱
 
You guys! Once again, Apple stated that you would have your iPad on April 3rd if you pre-ordered in time.

It def seems they cut a deal with UPS for this. I haven't seen anyone say FedEx yet, and we all have different models and shipping dates.

Those of you who ordered March 12th are UPS and I ordered my the 22nd and I'm also UPS.

I'm on West Coast and a lot of you guys are on East.

You will very likely have your iPad on Saturday as promised by Apple 🙂
 
ipad insider has posted a photo of what appears to be a UPS tracking status in the event that you are NOT in a location that delivers on Saturday....

I'm guessing they're going from west to east. A friend of mine hasn't gotten his shipping confirm, he's in Manhattan, along with me, both of our orders are on "Prepared fro shipment" status. So just calm down, I guess UPS and Apple have an exclusive deal... Or something like that. 😎
