To those seeing 5-7 days, what items are you ordering?

I just checked online at it still says 3-5 days.

Placed mine online as a backup. Will try to hit up store tonight or tomorrow. If they have - great. Pretty sure can cancel online orders anytime before they ship.
 
It still says 3-5 days for the USA for the 16GB wifi. Some of the others are 5-7.

For certain models maybe. I'm in NH and just ordered the 32GB Wifi and its 5-7 days !!!!!

That's right, my bad :eek:

You have to click the links. The 16Gb is still 3-5.

So either they made more of the 16Gb, or it's less demand.

Update: now it's clearly 5-7 for all of them.

I'm officially not even going to consider ordering online. Even if it sells out in stores on Friday, they will have more back in stock before tonight's online orders have shipped. 3-5 days waiting for it to ship + 3-5 more days waiting for the package to arrive just doesn't cut it.

Uh... I remember last year visiting multiple stores over weeks around the iPad launch, not being able to find one. I hope you get one earlier but I'd rather have it show up on my doorstep on 3/18-3/25 then have to go hunting multiple times to multiple stores. Sincere good luck.
 
Actually it just switched to 5-7 days for me here in US.

So there must be some wacky real-time inventory mgmt going on.

Apple might also be hedging in the event quake disrupts supply chain and freight
 
I wonder how long it will be before Amazon has them? Maybe later today or tomorrow?!? At least I hope. Then I can get no tax and free 2 day shipping with Prime! :D

Sometimes Amazon even has stuff a couple bucks cheaper well not always the case with apple stuff though.

Amazon will start selling in April
 
I just ordered the 32 gb iPad 2 online with the Navy Smart Cover, the iPad 2 Dock, and the Apple Wireless Keyboard from the Apple Store. I received the email confirmation saying that my iPad 2 will be delivered between March 22nd through 29th. I wonder why the iPad 2 dock takes so long to be delivered? My estimated delivery date for the dock is for April 7th, the day before my birthday.

I do hope it will not take that long, but with this huge tsunami that hit Japan it may take longer since it might affect China as well.

Let's hope Apple can shorten these long delivery dates for everyone.

How about you order me one, and send to my adress in the UK, because don't get them till the 25th which honestly sucks, plus $499 is £309 which is a great price, and it will be £499. here ;(

I would like some help in ordering my iPad. Do I need to get a 3G for gps? I plan on jailbreaking it so I can tether using Mywi. When the iPad 3 comes out I'll be selling it in south America so I figure buying the wi fi model only here in the states wouldn't benefit me? Can I switch out my At&t micro sim that I have on my At&t iPhone and use it with the iPad to be able to use my unlimited data plan? Thanks in advance.
 
damn I ordered one but I did not get an confirmation email. I got an order-number on the confirmation page but I accidentially closed it.

Ipad 2

Hey guys just ordered my from ebay. Bit flustered about a custom charge tho; USA to Uk.

What you guys think?
 
Hey everybody!

ARE YOU ALL CRAZY!

This ipad 2 doesn't have Retina, is underpowered, the cameras suck (courtesy of many posters) and the Xoom, Galaxy and Dell Streak all have better specs and I think come for FREE.
And they have FLASH!

Really, HOW CAN YOU BUY THESE EPIC FAIL PRODUCTS with this lame password requiring IOS that isn't open to everybody to not make it work right!

And.. you are making Steve rich and he won't donate. He rips down treasured landmarks instead. Hope he gives up his illegally and morally questionable obtained liver soon.

I think I read somewhere he eats children and has slaves carrying him around.He whips them twice a day too.

How can you even stand to look at yourselves in the mirror buying an Apple product!

Pathetic Apple fanboys.

Use your money to solve the problems of the world . We can do it. Send water to Africa, sand to Saudi Arabia scratch that , I was on a tear...

uuurrrgh why oh why isn't the world perfect?

Seriously: ENJOY!I am jealoussssssssss

White 64GB 3G AT&T for me. Red leather smart cover to go with.

I'm hopeful the 3-5 days is a high estimate

Brave the crowds. Buy in person!
 
There's another Tsunami coming. This one on Wall Street.

If any of you are heavily into the market check out futures.

You may not have any money for iPads. :(
