wow i had no idea the backorders on the smart covers! cancelled my navy and opted for green... should be here by thurs... hopefully at the same time as the ipad!
 
Any chance iPads destined to Philadelphia will be delivered tomorrow? Mine is currently on a plane from Anchorage to either Newark or Memphis... What are the odds it shows up at my doorstep tomorrow? :apple:
 
Just got off the phone with apple customer support they kept telling there is still until friday for my order to be shipped out even though i ordered it at 1:06am PST on March 11th because my order didn't start processing until monday even though 2 business days had already passed,and she also added that this situation happens sometimes that some orders process quicker than others even if there were ordered after which doesn't seem fair to at all.My ipad 2 is still at the "not yet shipped" status.

You didn't follow the advice here on how to convince them to do something for you.
 
The flight info shows it getting to memphis at around 1AM I wonder if it can make it to Tulsa, Ok to be delivered tomorrow
 
Yes of course it shipped, it's in Alaska and started in China just like everyone's :). But I did notice during the first nite of shipping it said delivery was the 17th and by morning it had been changed to Friday the 18th for deliver by.

Mine is now being "held at sort facility in Anchorage"... From everyones experience do you think it could still make it to my house in Michigan by Thursday?? That is still what Fedex is telling me.:confused:
 
My iPad hit Seattle around 5PM. Should go out for delivery tomorrow, one day ahead of the estimate. Apple says the other one is still in the pipeline, but can't tell me anything other than that. If it isn't at least in "Processed for Shipping", I'm going to raise some hell.

Same thing i got, just attitude from a manager who really give 2 ***** less about when and what i ordered


I would really like to return this dumb cover i bought, but would spend more taking it back than the $40 bucks i paid for it after taking 2-3 hours to go to apple store, time plus shipping in sending it back

I imagine they will be receiving a flood of phone calls on Thursday (the 5th day)!

Well, mine just says the same depressing words "NOT YET SHIPPED" But congrats to you, at least you know when to expect it for sure

yes i did that it was reason i called apple in the first place ,she wasn't going for it she just told me i had to wait because my order just started processing monday .
 
I told them that people that ordered after me are receiving theirs before me and I kept complaining about how random this shipping process. Idk, just a bunch of crap (5mins work) then he said, "I can give you an accessories for your iPad and it will make it there when your iPad arrive." I decided to roll with the smart cover since I canceled it off my original order. Although, it's on back order, he said he can have it ship within the next 24 hours.

I guess customer service is good for something.

And I also said my sister ordered an hour after me and she has hers and mines will not be here until next week. I think that is what won me the smart cover.

Thats great. It honestly isn't fair and they should be giving you free stuff lol!

Does your status say "Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN" yet?

She told you you were lying and that your friend did not get expedited? You should have said, maam, excuse me, but I am looking at his updated Order Status right now.
 
Dont know if it matters but,
I am still in the "Not Yet Shipped" camp for my 32g -3g att black ipad 2.
Ordered at 1:02 am on friday. No its not engraved.

I also ordered a smart cover YESTERDAY at 3:00 pm pst and it was "Shipped in 24 hrs" status and guess what? Still not shipped today at 28 hours latter.

I feel for all us in the same boat. I am happy for all you that have received your ipad. What I wouldn't give for a "prepared for shipment" update though.
 
You'd be a whiner too if yours was still "not yet shipped" after ordering at 12:45 am PST 3/11 while watching other "engravers" get theirs and ordered hours after.

Oh, I don't think so. I've been screwed around on these things before. I have some long stories I could tell you about iphones and ipods over the years. Don't take it personal. I didn't mean anything nasty by it.
 
I called ... they said they were sorry my ipad was late because it "was in the grave!" :eek:









Only later did I realize that he meant "engraved." :rolleyes:

No problem- but you SHOULD have been a whiner. lol You don't deserve their BS and if you ever expect the process to improve in the future we have no choice but to bitch.
