Received your iPad 2 shipping notice? Post here!

[aplqna]

Im sorry but I'm missing the point to this?

Really? Did you READ?

Three huge things: Each rep does whatever the **** they please. There really IS 2-day expedited shipping. And this guy is saying that iPad 2's are shipping from the United States and are backordered. If you don't realize that these things are relevant, I don't understand you.

Looks like those who left Anchorage today at 3:23pm are in flight FX94 from ANC to MEM. Must be all those orders to the midwest.

 

[aplqna]

is this from an att rep or apple rep?

If an apple rep, then his information is very incorrect. Thousands (on this website alone) have ordered non-engraved and they've been shipped from china.

apple

Ya but I don't see a point to the whole conversation... They are shipping out as fast as possible minus overnight so i don't see the point in calling and lying to get upgraded to shipping in which you already have..

apple

Hmm. That's odd. Either something just changed at apple or that rep is clueless. I vote for the latter.

I also called and had "upgraded shipping". Call again to make sure, person told me that they are not doing any upgrades and they are saying that, in a nutshell, some employees are ********ting to get people off their back. Of course, her way was much more.. diplomatic.. but its what she wanted to say. There are no expedited shipments of the ipads. They are being sent in clusters

And damn! I didnt want to engrave because I couldnt return engraved items. Now I wish I had.. would have had my item by now.

The person on the phone also said ipad covers ship overseas so they come in faster than when its shipped from the US. Whats up with the US packages being so slow.

WooHoo!! Mine finally left Anchorage. Almost 24 hours after it was cleared, but still...movement! if it left on the Memphis flight I don't see it arriving any sooner than Thursday, which is the date quoted. I can live with that, compared to the troubles others are having with their's.

You are funny. Yours is shipped, so of course you don't care. I have read countless posts today of people getting expedited shipping who ordered after me, so I damn well deserved to get it, so I did. Anyone else not satisfy, do the same thing and demand it- you will get it. And it is news to me that they are shipping at least SOME iPad 2's from the United States and not China. Haven't seen anyone else post that one...

 

[thetaco25]

Still no update about leaving Anchorage, and my iPad has been there for well over 24 hours. Have both flights to Memphis already departed?

 

[hcho3]

Why not just wait like normal person....

Update me update me ain't going to fly.

Just sit back and relax.

I don't know who you people are speaking with at Apple but I just called and the woman denied that people were already receiving their Ipads! She said very few had shipped and they couldn't have been delivered already. She did not offer me anything and stated I would have my Ipad by the 25th which is the delivery date Apple promised. She said the deliveries were late because they did not know how many would be ordered so were not ready. The concept of allowing pre-orders (so you would know about how many orders you might receive) seemed to be beyond her comprehension. And how many product launches is this for Apple? Not Ready??

I ordered my 64gb White 3G(at&t) ipad at 10:45p (12:45a PST) and mine still hasn't shipped.... Haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone else's iPad2 with the same config as mine shipped already?

I ordered the same configuration (although about 2 hours later than your order) and the order status is still Not Yet Shipped.

And what he is saying is that unless you have engraved its delayed.. wrong and its shipping from the states if its not engraved.. wrong everyones is shopping from china

 

[aplqna]

some employees are ********ting

Well, obviously they are not if people's order statuses are saying priority shipping instead of standard...

I haven't heard one person say theirs shipped from within the US.. Im just saying you should never trust a CSR..

Maybe so, but to say my post is irrelevant is wrong. These are the words I received and I am passing them along to the people here. I didn't have to do that but I did. As I said in my original post, take it as you will. I'm sure some people found the post useful or interesting. Thanks.

Date/Time Status Location
2011-03-15 14:39:00 Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN, *
2011-03-15 01:28:00 Picked up by FedEx SHENZHEN, *

Package hasn't shown in Hong Kong yet. Which Is weird since on a map the drives btw cities is shorter than the drive I make to ATL by an hour. Guess it missed a scan.

Anybody try to hold their iPad for pickup. Fedex website says holds aren't allowed for my order. Didn't have a problem for my iPhone 4

I have the exact same status and have for some time now. really frustrated. do you think it just missed a scan?

That's what I'm thinking.

Oh really? What do you say about people's shipping speed changing on their order statuses?

Mine now says "2-3 day"

The Indianapolis flight FX22 left at 3:23. I'm sure mine would go there.

MASSIVE UPDATE - READ THIS:

Just called Customer Service for a second time.

This time I lied and said I had a friend next to me who just called and had his shipping upgraded to 2-day so they couldn't deny me.

The guy was very friendly and said right away "Ah, no problem man- I will upgrade you to 2 day shipping"

I said "Do you know how Apple is sending these out- it obviously isnt first come, first served"

Him: "Well, it is and it isn't. Was your friend's iPad 2 engraved?"

Me: "Yeah"

Him: "Okay, well his is shipping directly from the manufacturer overseas. Yours is backordered in the United States"

Me: "What do you mean backordered?"

Him: "Well, the ones getting engraved come from overseas. Yours will be coming from a warehouse in the United States,"

Me: "Really, from where- California?"

Him: "It doesn't tell me exactly where, just that yours is coming from the US. The regular iPads, not personalized, ship from the US. They are in huge demand right now, so that's why it's backordered. Don't worry, though, you should be getting a shipping update tomorrow because it will be your 5th day (it will actually be my 4th day, but whatever). So, expect the March 18-25 delivery range to be kicked back 2 days."

Me: "Hm, okay, this is all new news to me. But you're definitely giving me the shipping upgrade then?"

Him: "Definitely. I put that in for you."

There you have it- take it as you will I guess....

I just called apple for the third time today and I got nothing of the imformation you got. I just got the company line that they're still within the windows, all is well.... blah, blah, blah. No offer of free stuff like other people have said. Nothing. Zip. Just a "promise" that it'll get here. I'm sure it'll show up on exactly the last possible day.
