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.

I think Apple is being conservative in shipping times. 3-5 days may be more like 1-2 for those who order now.
 
This is almost just too painful...I may be looking for one tomorrow and returning this order when it arrives.

Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25 by Standard Shipping

Comon Apple, why can't we at least pay for expedited shipping?
 
32GB and 3G AT&T Black

32GB and 3G AT&T Black

May go to the store for the smart case - :apple:
 
Cleared cookies (apple.com and discover.com, since I'm going to use their 5% thing) and restarted Safari, no dice.

I wonder how many people who order online and see the delivery date between the 18-th and 25-th will now go line up and then cancel the online order.
 
Won't let me order more than 2. Will see if there is a line tomorrow and try to get another in store. :mad:

Update: crap, my confirmation says mar 18-25 delivery. Guess there will be an excuse for me to leave work early tomorrow to go stand in line.

*pushes easy button* That was easy!

I don't care about the 3-5 day shipping time. I'd rather wait five days and be guaranteed to get one, than go to the store and be disappointed.

16GB white, wifi, pink smart cover.
 
All you guys, get your ipad 2s so that prices for old ipads will go down on ebay!

dumb people are still paying $430 for used ipads! ugh

It was the same thing when the iPhone 4 was released in Canada. Order it online the day it was released and delivery was 2 to 3 weeks later.
What it shows is that Apple is sending all its current stock to the stores and the online orders will be processed next week when new stock stock starts arriving.

Can you return to a store, or do you have to send it back to them?

Ordered one white, one black 16 gb wifi. No covers, no adapters. I think the smart covers are pretty clever, but I feel like it's going to be done better by someone else!

The wait is gonna be killer, though ...
 
Ordered two ipads.. Black 3G/Wifi 64gb and White 3G/Wifi 64gb both AT&T versions.. shipping in 3-5 days.. dammit.. covers shipping first too.

Why apple why!! Oh, and I managed to order it at 3:45EST..

Already received order confirmation via email from Apple.
 
Breaking News:

No ships leaving China for a month due to the Intensity 8.8 big quake in Japan.

Really hope this doesn't affect it, this looks really bad over there, I've been watching it while I was waiting...

And I was ready to pay whatever they wanted to charge me for expedited shipping..oh well hopefully it will come before the 18th or its gonna be a long week...

good thing they fly em out on fedex eh? Btw ordered white 64gb for wife, 32gb black for myself. going to the store tomorrow to get a white 16gb for the son. We will worry about cases later. I have a feeling the snap on cases they have are gonna scratch where the metal meets metal when "snapping on" and sliding around.
