Just to make sure: Those who placed their online orders early will, of course, receive their ipads earlier? They ship them based on when the order is placed- so those who ordered at 4:00 am should have theirs shipped before those who ordered at 9:00 am?

"Apple's web storefront is already listing shipping times between two and three weeks, despite the fact that sales started around 1AM Pacific time with shipping estimates of 3 to 5 business days."

Luckily, I got in on the 3-5 days shipping window. Placed my order just before 1AM PST.
 
Ship Date

2-3 weeks?!? SO glad I ordered when I did super-early in the AM. And yes, I am assuming that it will be shipped out based on when it was ordered"....I'm pretty certain I was one of the first 1,000,000 :)

Online order went through at 12:42 AM PST - fingers crossed that the shipping is earlier than predicted. I'll be keeping a close eye on my email, that's for sure! ;-)
 
Ordered mine at 12:41am PST. 16gb Black wifi. My smart cover has already shipped and is expected to arrive tomorrow. That means they need to be shipping them from the US.

I'm hoping they ae shipping the iPad 2's from the US as well. I'd love for it to come in tomorrow.

I doubt that. If you were one of the first to order, you will probably see it early next week depending on your location.

I just find it odd that the Smart cover would ship from the USA and the iPad 2 from Hong Kong. My original iPad case shipped from HK and both my iPhone 4 and Bumper case from HK as well.

Maybe they shipped the cases in advance to the US?
 
FWIW when I ordered my iPad 2 and Smart cover the iPad 2 had a delivery estimate of March 18-25 and the Smart Cover March 15-18. I have already received a shipping notification for my Smart Cover and the Delivery date has been bumped up to tomorrow, March 12, which means overnight shipping!

Perhaps they were fluffing the dates to be safe, so the iPad 2 may come much sooner then expected

EDIT: I ordered at 4:02 am EST

Yep.. My smart cover moved from 3-5 business days to 1-2.... iPad still at 3-5 estimated delivery date March 18th-25th... That seems like a long time.. getting it the 25th would be 2 weeks..

Which model did you order?
 
Ordered black 16gb at&t at 4:10am est and still no email confirmation. CC was charged and have order # under my apple account.
 
Realistically, if these are coming from Hong Kong, we wont start seeing shipping notifications until people start heading to work. It's 1am in Hong Kong right now. Fed Ex here in the US doesn't start picking up until 5am.

I just noticed that both items say "USA" so am wondering if it is shipping from CA. I think they aren't shipping the iPads right away as they want to make sure no one ordered more than alloted limit, that's my theory anyway.
 
Ordered at 3:45am est. Got a black 16gb wifi, 15 mins later got my email confirmation. Check my bank statements online, charged my debit card for the full amount. :)

You live close to where they are shipping it. Fedex Ground will not be 1 day to most. Nice though!!! Congrats.

iPads themselves will almost certainly ship from China and take 2-3 days to arrive after shipping.
