Preorder's in Canada ...

Wrathwitch said:
I got my shipping notice yesterday! yay!

Supposed to be delivered this Thursday, which means I can go pick it up after work on Friday. Just in time for the weekend.

Unfortunately I can't take time off work to stay home to pick up a delivery. I wish I could have just told them to take it to the depot for that day.... sucky thing is that you normally can't pick it up on the same day they attempt delivery because it is still on the truck til the end of the day...:mad:

If I had known how easy it would be to get one in store this time around, I wouldn't have pre-ordered...

Mine left Memphis last night and has since gone MIA. No idea what's on the go. I'm regretting pre-ordering it now...
 
Wha??? So now my ETA is gone. It only arrived in Edmonton at 8:24 am destination scan. It is NOT saying out for delivery.
 
Dont know what is happening with ours either. Arrived at local hub at 1am, destination ascan at local hub at 5am, and nothing since. Last night there was a delivery date of tomorrow, now it's gone. So maybe today, maybe tomorrow we shall see!

Are you FedEx or UPS?

I received three separate shipments last week for iPad accessories (cover, cable and sim card). Two of the shipments were UPS (Purolator), and the other was FedEx.

Interestingly, the FedEx shipment arrived in Halifax mid-morning, and yet they still sent it out that same day. Someone showed up at my house at around noon in a minivan, handed the package over (I think it was the cable) and had me sign for it the "old fashioned way" on a clipboard! :) I don't know if it was FedEx or a third-party broker... the guy wasn't wearing a uniform. I'm pretty sure FedEx runs their own trucks in Halifax, but not 100%.

Hopefully you'll get your shipment. Good luck!

I'm starting to get worried, personally. I just saw the Purolator truck exit my neighbourhood down the street about five minutes ago, at 2:20 local time. The 2:00 to 3:00 range is usually when Purolator is in my area (I received both Apple UPS shipments last week in that hour), so I don't know what to think.

My UPS tracking hasn't changed... still only shows the Departure Scan from Louisville, but also still gives today as the scheduled delivery date and "on time" status.

I might call Apple today if I don't receive the iPad in an hour or so. I don't want to wait around all day tomorrow again... I'd like to see if I can arrange for a pickup at the depot instead.
 
Just to check in, my 32gb 4G model ordered on Mar. 7 arrived this morning to St. john's. I sent it back as work decided to let me use my employee discount, so i stepped up to 64gb.

If I had to have waited all weekend I'd of been pretty dissapoonted.
 
So at least to UPS here a "destination scan" is the same as out for delivery!

The nw ipad was delivered about 4 minutes ago, and the destination scan dissappeared/switched to "out for delivery" and it has also changed to delivered.

CANNOT WAIT to get my ipad2 tomorrow and portenzo case. Mom is going to spend the night setting hers up and restoring mine to brand new and putting it all back in the box like new. I can't wait!
Good luck to anyone still waiting!

Van: please update as to how your gp's like it!

Haha I feel your pain. Apple told me my iPad shipped yesterday and Fed Ex hasn't got it in it's system yet. I think it travelled faster via UPS in my opinion. It only took my smart cover 4 days to get here from China, and yet my ATV and iPad will likely take 5+ days haha!!

If they hadn't bribed me with the rebate I would have cancelled :p

You're in St. John's? Which company did your iPad come with? And what route did it take?

I'm in St. John's and since leaving Memphis last night, FedEx hasn't made any updates on where my iPad is.

I'm surprised it's taking SO LONG considering people on here ordering after me and got theirs already.
 
O UPS o UPS, how slow art thou? Any slower and they might as well have shipped it USPS..... and to think I was in a rush and ordered it 2 or so hours after the launch.
 
Purolator (delivering for UPS) in Lethbridge Alberta has been an absolute mess.
Absolutely zero support from either end (UPS says it is in Purolator's hands, Purolator is saying to call UPS).

The depo is 10 min away, but I can't pick it up and they can't seem to find/deliver the parcel so I can't do anything.

Swears abound for both couriers.

Same thing here in Nova Scotia. According to UPS its still in Mt. Hope (via Yahoo tracking). UPS insist on delivery today by Purolator. Purolator say they don't know anything.... ask UPS....
I guess the Purolator working day is already behind us, so will have to wait for tomorrow or the day after...
 
Still nothing in Halifax. 5:45 local time.

I tried calling UPS. The agent wasn't able to give me any more information than what I can see on Packagetrackr. I asked her why the UPS site said "In Transit on Time" with a delivery scheduled for today, and she said the package has met their internal standards for delivery, and it was now up to Purolator to meet the delivery deadline. Great way to pass the buck!

I will say, I am now officially frustrated. It sat in Louisville for a week, apparently left Louisville on Friday, and they still can't deliver it on the scheduled date? That's poor service.

I suppose it's still possible for it to show up this evening, although I highly doubt it. Sigh.
 
iPad coming to me in Halifax, ordered on March 8th and just started moving on March 17th. Nothing until mid-day today. It's been "in transit" twice today in China. So faaaarrr away but better than nothing, I suppose! Coming by FedEx.

If there is a purolator depo near you, I just called UPS and said this was a gift and demanded they put it on hold for the next day so I can retrieve it myself.

Purolator is fudging things up by the sounds of it.

Hey elabela!

Well it arrived! Finally! The wait has been killing me. Unfortunately I'm out of town till thursday. And my gp's don't know what the heck it is. All they know is that the package is for "me" and not to open it. Next three days will be a killer.

Congrats to getting your iPad two! Must be excited. Let me know how that goes!

I did. They say "call Purolator".
BTW - it is a gift and it needs to be here by Wednesday. Not sure it will.

You meant 19:44 and nada.
But I'm optimistic. UPS site still say "in time" and delivery scheduled for today (Still departure scan from Louisville though)...

No, it was 4:44 MDT in my neck of the woods. Now it's 5 and nada.

OMG! And the saga continues.

Good news, my iPad finally made it to Grande Prairie this morning. Bad news I refreshed my tracking this morning only to discover this:

Mar 19, 2012 9:54 AM THE PACKAGE WAS NOT DISPATCHED GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB
Mar 19, 2012 9:05 AM HUB SCAN GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB
Mar 18, 2012 11:00 PM ARRIVAL SCAN EDMONTON, AB


Oh UPS, why are you having so many troubles.

I called UPS and they were no help. Only stated that the package must be delayed for a day. No, duh! I couldn't have figured that out on my own. And then stated that their contract with Apple guaranteed delivery betwen March 16 and March 21.

I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow.


Macmac, any sign of yours yet?

I don't understand why they started moving SO LATE
 
UPS Tracking Info cannot be found

Hi all, my iPad "shipped" yesterday at noon according to the Apple Store order status page. A day after, and the tracking number still shows up as "UPS could not locate your shipment". I've heard about other users having to wait 24 hours for their tracking number to work, but mine is still inactive after more than a day. Called Apple, called UPS, each told me to wait longer.

Has anyone else had their iPad shipped yesterday/today? (2nd batch). If so, what's your tracking number status?
 
Finally! Delivered 6:55 pm, Edmonton. 64 GB Wifi Black. Now I'm going to unbox it. Good luck to those in Atlantic Canada, Grande Prairie and anyone else still waiting.
