Same thing happened to me with the iPhone 4... placed an order for 2 iPhones and it locked my AMEX and screwed up my order. :mad:

But, we talked 30 minutes yesterday. I was told more than once, not a problem, we are putting a note on your account. The Apple charge will go thru.

Now the account is CLOSED, when I have a very very high limit and only a $200 balance on the card at this time and nothing else but the Apple charge pending.

This is unacceptable. I just wish I could get in touch with Apple and have some one physically enter the other credit card, which I have already called and verified that such a charge would go thru. I should have used the Chase card in the first place.
 
My order has been cancelled too.

The funny thing is that they shipped the smart cover. Order status doesn't say "cancelled" but I got the cancellation mail.

I have only ordered 1 iPad 32g wifi and 1 smart cover.

I can't call Apple on the phone because I have difficulties with spoken english. I've sent Apple an e-mail but got no answer.

@everybody who is in this situation: please keep posting updates.

i have a green cover thats shipped, and an orange cover, 16gb black wifi and hdmi adapter that changed to prepared for shipment. still waiting for a 32gb white wifi to change from not yet shipped.
 
I ordered 2:45 CST.

My 16GB wifi was prepared for shipment late last night My 16GB 3G is still not yet shipped.

I sincerely hope those mistaken cancellations get rectified!


EDIT: The 16GB wifi just shipped (for Thursday delivery)!!!! I just got the email with a fedex tracking number. PROGRESS!!!

Still no change in status on the 3G model though - not yet shipped.

I'm driving myself crazy over here, refreshing every 5 minutes.

iPad smartcase is in transit via FedEx and first was shown on the tracking as in PA.

32GB black wifi iPad and 64GB ATT 3G iPad are still "Not Yet Shipped". Ordered at 1:01 AM PST, with order acknowledgment at 1:24 am PST.

Driving myself nuts here!

Are we assuming that iPads will ship today? On a Saturday? Or is preparing for shipment the best we can hope for? I am setting myself up to be disappointed until the 25th just to cover myself!

Also, I could kick myself at this point for ordering online. I happened to be at walmart yesterday at 5:15 for an unrelated reason (seriously, for my son, unrelated!) and, once there, I could not help but check. They were handing out tickets and still had a ticket for a white 32 g wifi model. The one I ordered and charged to my debit card already! I could of had it last night! I do know that in the long run a week here or there of using my "old" iPad will not matter, but I feel like I made the wrong decision here.:confused:
 
Ordered before a bunch of people whose orders are shipping/preparing here and nothing has shipped yet on my end. KTK1990 - I'm also doing the refresh every 5 minutes act, I hear ya.

EDIT - Black Smart Cover prepped for shipment! Still nothing on 32GB White WiFi (1:03 PST). :(
 
I recommend being on the phone with them AND hounding them via Live Chat. They're playing with people's money while teasing the crap out of everyone. I know I sure as hell don't want to go through the trouble of cancelling my order again and going and hoping I can find it at a retail store.

EDIT: "iPad 2 launch predictably draws crowds, sellouts." http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20042395-37.html

They are selling out, that's why some aren't shipping and that's why they're cancelling orders. They need to keep tabs on inventory better - when I spoke to an Apple Rep. Thursday night, she said, "we won't sell out - we are extremely well prepared for this release."

Good morning, Prepared for Shipment notice! :D

iPad 32 GB WiFi (Black)
Ships in: 3-5 Days
Delivers by: March 18-March 25

Remember guys, I know some of us could have had instant gratification had we bought an iPad at a local retail (pretty sure I made that mistake), but at least some of us got them ordered online before the wait changed to 2-3 weeks, eh? :)
 
Still not shipped????

I am kind of frustrated that I woke up and logged in at 3:45am EST, found the online store was open early so I ordered a 64gig wifi in black. Order confirmation is stamped 3:50am yet here it is Saturday morning and it still hasn't shipped? What is taking you so long Apple? My smart case on the other hand shipped just 8 hours after I ordered (same order too!).

Word was going around that people who ordered early could expect them on Tuesday. I don't see that happening right now! Very disappointed.
 
Get this - 16 gig wifi prepared to ship and 32 gig not yet shipped. Then at 3:00 am - time stamp on email, Apple tells me that they "have been unable to obtain payment for your order."

It gets better. Checked CC on line yesterday. There was a hold on the card. Called the company. Apple sent a $1 hold and 15 minutes latter sent a $1170 hold. This red flagged the card. I have a very high limit.

I called and was given the fraud department. Not a problem, payment will go thru. Had a 3 way conversation with the fraud department and customer service. Both apologizing to me over the misunderstanding. I tell them I am going to book a cruise in a month for over 2 grand. Not problem. Everyone is nice.

Wait for it. It gets better. After apples email, I check the CC on line. Card account as of 4 am this morning has been closed.

Now I have to wait until 10 EST to talk to customer service at apple to change the card. I changed it on line, but in the order status page it is the closed out card. I don't want bumped back to a month for delivery or canceled.

However, I do get to talk to the CC company at 8:30. I can't wait to hear this explanation. I told the wife to go outside for about 15 minutes.

WTF?!?! I would be furious.

As for my shipment, 64 gb 3G black still not shipped. Ordered 4:06 est. My black leather cover has been prepared for shipment since last night, but no tracking info yet.

Now when will I actually receive this??!
 
I wonder if Apple is shipping them out based on the model? Has anyone that ordered a 64gb w/3G shipped yet? I see some 64gb wifi only but any 64gb w/3G? Hopefully they will ship today or by Monday at the latest. :)

I wish I knew about that site, they don't have a bill me later financing deal, but they have 2% back for upromise, which would have been an extra $6 to pay off my student loans.

I used the bill me later six month no interest. I figure I will pay $100 a month. Of course, I could have paid it off this month, if I knew I would get it a couple days early.

This is the boat I am in. No movement yet for me on a 64 gb 3G black.
 
*cries* - why am I getting the shaft? Ordered same model 27 minutes earlier and nothing yet. :p

You have given me hope though! :)


EDIT: YES! prepped! :D
