Mine is still preparing for shipment. It's been the same since 3/8. I actually want to cancel my order and go to an apple store on Friday since they're opening at 8AM. I just can't wait and I want a shipping number.
 
still pending since 3/7 ~1500 EST .. order confirmation was at 1616 EST on 3/7 .. single VZW 64G black no engraving

I wouldn't sweat it - but thinking that for it to make it to me on the mark for Fri it should already be on the move .. wonder if they're finally taking previous feedback and sourcing to local distribution points based on past data. It's not rocket science, but it does amaze me every time for all of the components to come together so quickly to so many destinations every launch - i can only imagine that they've gotten smarter about this sort of thing (however a middle of the day store opening for order processing wasn't the brightest idea this time round)
 
Still Processing...

Not that we don't like all you "Preparing for Shipment" folks, but you've outgrown us... time to move on.
 
Just checking in to say, my 3/8 order of the AT&T pad is still processing as of right now. No change.

Yes, I realize no one cares, but I get so lonely when this thread doesn't get bumped, LOL.
 
Ordered late 3/7

Black 64gb AT&T wifi/LTE

Ships to Atlanta, GA

Still Processing...delivers march 16th via standard shipping.

Saw some posts say they updated to overnight... Maybe there's already a nest of them sitting in the ATL *crosses fingers*
 
Processing...

Ordered: 9:00 AM CST March 9th
iPad: White ATT 4G LTE 64 GB
Ships by: March 19th
Delivers by: March 23rd

People that ordered after me already have information and are prepared or shipped.

OMG guys, no joke, I've been obsessively checking order status all day, and within the last FEW minutes, it just changed to "Preparing for Shipment"!

I NEVER thought I'd see this, but it's coming. Hang in there. I'm going to keep reading this thread. Check your statuses!

Mine is never going to change. I am convinced of it!
 
Goodbye, my friends...

I am now "preparing for shipment." Off to introduce myself to the other group.

;)
 
1: Around 4pm EST March 8
2:State College, PA
3: Black/64GB/AT&T
4: Ships March 19 Still "Processing items"

I've been down this road before with new model Macs and iPhones. I know the drill but every time, I still get excited, check the Order Status page incessantly, think about going to local stores on launch day only to find out it really was better to pre-order straight from Apple.

In a strange way, it's all fun. Hoping it ships from straight from Middletown rather than Shanghai->Alaska->Nashville->Middletown->State College on March 19.

:)
 
Ordered on 3/9.
Still in 'processing items'.
32GB White Wi/Fi only

I called Apple Support and she said "it looks like your order will be shipped out 3/19 for a delivery date of 3/23." I also asked why my CC wasn't charged yet and she stated that credit cards aren't charged until the iPad shipped.
 
It will, that's what I thought too. I think we're all good, actually. Just some odd reason why the orders sat for so long. Maybe we are closer to the distribution point.

I don't get why some who ordered theirs on the 8th are getting there's processed before mine.

BTW: just checked a minute ago.. yep still "Processing". They have already taken the money out of my account too.

Still Processing and I ordered the day they were available, 3/7.

If I don't get any email by tomorrow night, I'm going to start to wonder what is going on
 
keeping this thread going. Anybody's changed yet or are your pre-orders still in Processing mode as of 11:36amEST. :confused:

I ordered my 32GB black AT&T LTE 3/9 9am. My status changed to Prepare for Shipment this morning. I wonder if it was because I spoke with Apple again early this morning.

It could be because theirs are coming from China and yours is coming from the US in either your state or a nearby one.
 
Well....still no change--still says "Processing"! I thought for sure it'd change by now! Oh well, I'm certain it'll be here on Friday!:confused:
 
I'll probably be the last one to move from Processing

White, 64GB, 4G Verizon ... ordered 3/7, 1:00p PST. Still shows processing, delivers on 3/16. Am getting real worried. :(
 
I am still processing but I just got a call from Apple. My store pickup is ready earlier. I can go to the store on Friday and pick my iPad :). Also just got the email. Original date was march 27.
