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?

I had a typo in my date, should have been ships the 19th.

But yes it is weird and Apple cannot explain why. I am not a happy person.
 
*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. 🙁
 
Still processing, it's been a week so far

Miami,FL
Black 32GB WIFI
Ordered on March 9th around 4pm
shipping date the 19th, Delivery the 21st :S :S :S
 
Everyday I'm processin'. 🙁

For those who got their shipment notices - did you guys start get emails the day it was supposed to ship or before that?
 
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

Mine just switched to "Shipped"!!! Wooo hoo! My initial delivery date was the 27th, now it's saying by the 23rd!
 
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?
 
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.
