Mine said it left at 3:10pm which was the time of a flight to Memphis. I hope that means something. It was there all day yesterday and missed a bunch of flights.
 
I haven't heard one person say theirs shipped from within the US.. Im just saying you should never trust a CSR..

I believe that you're right, non-engraved iPad 64GB WiFi finally got a shipping notice...let's see, where is it sitting right now?

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.

I never said your post was irrelevant i just think they gave you wrong info just to get you off the phone...

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

Mine now says "2-3 day"
and i said i haven't seen one persons ship from the US.. Do you have a tracking number right now that shows it shipping from the states?

Sounds like friggin' Apple is supposed to be bringing in stock to the US to distribute to their faithful who woke up at 4am to order, but is siphoning off OUR stock to send to stores. Jerks. Or else why would "non engraved" ones coming form the US be all of a sudden delayed.

I will absolutely blow a gasket if Apple siphons off our US stock to send overseas so they don't break the overseas ship date.
 
I feel like I'm about to have an iBirth! It's gonna be twins (64GB 3G AT&T Black x 2). They left Anchorage at 3:10PM (7:10PM EST) local time...come to daddy in ATL!

I guess then you could go to Paris to buy an iPad.

Encouragement enough for me! I ordered the same configuration, still NYS but hoping for it to ship (or at least prep) soon!
 
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.

Dittto...I posted this on another thread in response to the same post you're replying to:

Even though I've already called CS this post prompted me to call again. My rep said it's absolutely inaccurate that anyone can be upgraded to priority shipping, no such a thing. I said but it shows in the order status. He said it might show there but it doesn't change anything. I then asked about the non-engraved shipping from the US, being backordered, etc. He said he apologizes for what he must call wrong info. He looked up my order # and said my non-engraved iPad is shipping from overseas. Is that true? Who knows! He was only gone a few seconds when he looked up that info. He then said the usual "it's within the promised shipping time" and that he can't guarantee anything but is certain it will ship tomorrow. I don't believe a word spoken by any Apple rep. except for the one who told me he credited me for the cover because that's been verified.

Is it really a newsflash that customer service rep is BSing. It's not their jobs are ruled by scripts and mandated procedures. Lying is the way some of them avoid the stress of dealing with self entitled jerks all day. Not saying it's right, thats just how some deflect arguments. Or they hear some other CS moron drop those lying lines and they regurgitate them not knowing they are wrong.
 
How was the shipment originally sent via FedEx? Does the tracking say International? Or International Priority? There is a difference, and the only way to tell if these claims are true is to look at the service name. FedEx International Priority is 1-3 days depending on origin/dest.

I dont even think there is a FedEx Overnight service internationally.
 
Well the latest flight out to memphis has been delayed 15 min.. hmm maybe they released they forgot my iPad

I hope so! I think mine is in the same group as yours... sitting in alaska for 24+ hours and still no update. :(

I ordered through apple a few minutes after it came online... This is what mine says:

"International Economy Distribution"
 
Mine has been chillin in Alaska for far too long. I have people here in NY areas who have received theirs already and their shipments got to Alaska on the same day. I guess luck of the draw. Ordered mine at 3:45am last Friday.

Oh well, at least my Smart Cover arrived today.

Well, you did it wrong. You have to be calm, but firm and state right off that your friend who is with you was in the same situation and just called and had his shipping expedited. Technically you are right. I can be your "friend" and mine was just expedited.

I never said your post was irrelevant i just think they gave you wrong info just to get you off the phone...

Could have... on everything but expedited shipping because I now have that. It is on my order status:

and i said i haven't seen one persons ship from the US.. Do you have a tracking number right now that shows it shipping from the states?

No, like I said a thousand times- mine has still not even been prepped. I take it as you will, I don't know if that was the truth. That's what he said though.
 
Well at least most of you peoples' iPads have shipped....
Ordered 16gig White at 5AM EST on the 11th, and still nothing.... just.... "not yet shipped" :(
