prepared for shipment switched today after ordered 32gb wifi 2 hrs after keynote but next morning I called customer service and switched to 32 Gb 4G LTE. I guess the more I thought about LTE speeds might as well give a try and wifi antenna is supposed to be better with these models, another plus us I don't want to be committed to contract plans as iPhones are.

Mine as I said is preparing to ship, but the rogers sim i gpt with it is still processing. Hope it doesn't delay it.
I really don't need to own an iPad 1, iPad 2, Playbook, and an iPad 3 but I'm pretty sure I'll be lining up at the local Futureshop (hangs head in shame).
Lol, that's an awesome fleet of tablets. I'm glad to know someone else has my sickness.
I believe the SIM will ship separately from somewhere here is Ontario and you will likely get it a day or two before the iPad. That's how it worked in 2010 when I pre-ordered the iPad 1.
That makes a lot of sense.
Mine is White 64Gb 4G switched to preparing for shipping yesterday.
I live in Calgary, Can't wait

I ordered nw without a SIM as I hadn't decided which of the 3 should have the privilege of picking my pocket every month. I decided to go with Telus so I went to an Apple Store in Vancouver (i was in town for a convention), and they gave me one for free on the spot. Those guys are great!
Yet i remember when i bought the first gen pad 3G i didn't took a micro sim, went there a week later and they gave me one no questions ask
I already have a micro sim in my ipad right now but i don't think it's compatible with lte.Mine has been preparing for shipment for 2-3 days now. I guess what the poster said a few pages back about non-engraved already being in warehouses in Canada must be true. Sucks that I'm flying to Calgary on Thursday and will be back on Sunday. Hopefully it delivers on the 16th at work so I can go get it on Sunday.
Did everyone else in Canada get an initial estimate of 16-20th like I did for delivery or did some get a firm 16th? I'm in Whitehorse so that may be why I got a lame range. I ordered by 2pm PST on the 7th so early, early. I got through right when Apple reopened the store after first taking it back down because it was crashing like crazy.
My apple TV is still processing but was only guaranteed to ship on the 16th not to deliver so I guess will get that at the end of the next week (23rd or so).

WTF!, just saw this map. Why is the Yukon in zone 5? We get way more daily cargo shipments both road and air than the NWTs. Why would northern BC be any more likely to get the ipad than us. Hell the most northern BC is only accessible via road from Whitehorse so I call BS on this stupid map. We will see when I get mine in Whitehorse. This map implies 21-22nd but that is BS.

Took me a while, but I finally got mine through
@u2hibby: Look at my attached photo...you'll see the delivery dates there for certain zones.

Very slim. Apple specifically tells the couriers to hold the package for delivery until release date, so unless someone screws up and sends your order to delivery early, you'll get it Friday.
They probably will be here a day, you just won't get it until Friday. They will sit in the warehouse until delivery day.
Does it provide any shipping information, yet? I'm interested if the non-engraved are shown as shipping from China or some more local warehouse.
Mine just shipped (non engraved). I ordered at 4pm EST on Wednesday. No tracking info available yet, but they gave me the tracking number.
