iPad 2 shipped

Order of 16GB Wifi black iPad 2 placed 3:56EST on Friday. Estimated delivery is 3/17 Thursday, to Michigan.
 
As someone mentioned a few pages ago, it seems that the black are being prepared for shipment at a much higher rate than the white. Either the white is more popular than we thought (kind of surprising), or they made more of the black models. I just hope I get my white 16 GB soon...I'm a little disappointed with Apple on this one. I know they are top-class when it comes to customer service, but to cater to in-store orders BEFORE online orders is pretty ridiculous man. We are customers too. Heck, I got up at 4:25 am yesterday to place my order- if that isn't dedication then I don't know what is.

Rant over.
 
I just got a shipment notification email for my 16GB black Wi-Fi iPad. The estimated delivery date is March 17th. Can't tell yet where it's coming from.
 
My 16GB wifi just shipped (for Thursday delivery) too!!!! I just got the email with a fedex tracking number. PROGRESS!!!

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

Screenshot of order status please! Also, what time did you order at/when was it prepped for shipment? :D
 
Just got the shipped email. Fedex International economy. (info sent to Fedex, but hasn't picked up)

3-17 eta

So I guess we can track it all the way through if we want.
 
time???

Well that is a good sign. Do you remember what time your ordered yours?

So how long after the prepared for shipment message are people getting their shipment notifications? Just switched to prepared for shipment for me about a half hour ago.

I'm still waiting and mine's been prepared since midnight.

Mine was prepared for shipment around 10pm EST last night and I received the shipment notification and tracking # at 9:45AM EST this morning. For what it's worth...
 
Apparently, these are coming from China (Fedex International economy).

Considering the eta is 3-17, this is almost a certainty
