Mine was too, but only for the Applecare. 7 days later, they charged for the iPad. Charged for the iPad on Monday, delivering on Friday, although its been sitting 2 states away for 18 hours with a 3pm delivery tomorrow. I'm thinking it may not make it.
Who knows, maybe we'll get them tomorrow (NOT). Seems a bit odd to charge it an entire week early though, glad I've got 0% on my credit card for 18 months so I'll have time to pay it off, versus having to eat interest a week before it's even here.It's possible Apple has their stock in gear this time around and they are shipping at a slower speed instead of 2 day for everyone's devices. That kind of cost cutting move would save them a lot of money. So they could charge you today, ship say Monday next week and you would get your device by Friday. Instead of charging over the weekend, running around monday and tuesday getting ready for shipping. Then Wednesday shipping a ton of devices and making sure they hit people's front doors by Friday.
Haha yea its all about the money. Yea it's pretty early in the process but who knows. Apple knows what they're doing and as long as I get mine next friday I'm happy.So they can fill their bank account, hah
