So I phoned again to see why the date changed and the still processing status. I feel like I wasn't complaining at all, just more curious if they had any further info. The CSR asked me to hold the line so she could talk to her manager. After several minutes she came back and said that she was very sorry but couldn't do anything about the date slipping to the 19th. She said she was refunding my Smart Cover for me. I was shocked! Totally unexpected and not asked for. I thanked her very much and said I very much appreciated her help.

Wow. Thanks Apple!!
 
When did you order?

I ordered on the 9th at 9 AM CST. I am also still processing and Apple says I will not ship until the 19th even though the web site says BY the 19th.

Ordred on announcement day at midnight GMT

Finally changed t Preparing for Shipment and still says delivers tomorrow (though not sure how if I still dont have a tracking number)

Ok, at least yours has finally changed.

I ordered on the 9th at 9 AM CST and my order is still saying Ships by March 19th. Guess I don't get it tomorrow. :(

Typo on the date, was 20th should have been 19th.

@FLash69,

I ordered on 10th but am still processing with a ship date of 19th...weird how it works isn't it?
 
*Clears spider webs* *Cough*

Anyone still here? I'm still processing :(

Yep... stuck in processing hell...

Mine only just pre-authorized on my credit card. Mine still show ship "BY" March 19th. Apple says the "BY" part actually means "ON". So my iPad will not ship until Monday. :(
 
1. Preordered Thurs March 8th at about 7:30pm

2. Toronto, Canada
3. Black, 64GB, Wifi only

Mine still shows "Processing item".

The order acknowledgement email I received says "Leaves by March 19. Receive by March 21"

When I log into my Apple account, it says "Available by March 19. Delivers March 21st".

I spoke an Apple rep yesterday evening and he said that the delivery dates are guaranteed and that I will most likely receive before March 21.

*Fingers crossed*
 
Ordered: March 9, 2012 @ 1:30pm PST
16GB Black WiFi
Vancouver, BC

Status just changed to "Preparing for shipment" about an hour ago!
 
The one I pre ordered the 9th at 4p.m (Black 32gb wifi) is preparing for Shipment!!! :)

Same here. Went from Processing Items to Shipped within 2 hours. Ordered on the 10th to South Surrey.
 
Mine shipped at 4 PM CST today and will be here Monday (standard overnight).
I ordered on the 9th at 9 AM CST. White 64GB 4G ATT

Interesting... It is coming from Nashville.

Is Apple stocking things in Nashville?
 
I ordered my iPad on 3-12-12, and it said it will ship on 4-2-12 and I should get it by the 6th.. 16GB WiFi
 
Processing order ... :(

Ordered 3/9

Ships 19th
Delivers 21st standard delivery

Dropped by Best Buy midmorning and they had a black wifi 64 Gb. Bought it, checked it out thoroughly at home, so I canceled my still in process order for the 32 Gb version. It was still nice to have the pre-order option.

Hoping the readily available store stock is not a indicator for light demand.
 
Last night my Rogers sim card shipped, but my iPad still "ships by March 19". I don't have a "delivers by" date anywhere. Not in the order acknowledgment nor on the "my orders" page. I don't get it.
