flight times and updates
so I found with my shipment that the departure and arrival times did correlate with fedex's flight take-off and landing times...might be a "duh" statement, but the updates came pretty soon after those activities. I ordered at 1:21 am on Friday morning, iPad2 is in Santa Ana waiting to deliver tomorrow; 1 day sooner than Apple's confirmation. yahoo's fedex page does seem to be more detailed though, so if you're wondering why your pad's been sitting for too long, check it out on the yahoo page.
Best,

I got that. I'm just saying that I haven't owned one before, and I'm waiting just the same
Ahh... Darn! Thought I had a good theory. Just Apple is plain FUBAR - hopefully they will learn from this catastrophe they caused for their customers.
Mine has to be on one of these flights I'm starting to think mine really got its scanned missed... ....im hoping
hmmm i'm not too far from santa ana... no more than 40 mins... wonder why we're on different shipments? i ordered at 1:04am on the 11th... oh welll, on a flight out of alaska now!
can anyone verify the weight of the plastic cover?
I order 2 one is grey and one is blue. they ship in 2 shipment; when i check Fedex tracking it show; one is 1 lb, and one is 2 lb??
isn't it strange?

just called again and got very nice rep ,i told her that my friend got expedited shipping and free smart cover and she said she would hate for my friend to get something i didn't so she added a blue smart cover and expedited shipping to my order.
I sure hope the jackass at Apple that came up wth this seemingly random way they are distributing ipads to customers get his butt fired (should ALWAYS be FIFO -- no exceptions whatsoever).....
- actually, they will probably promote him.

my smart-cover that I got for free-99 just went from "not yet shipped" to "prepared to ship" within a 2 hour range... I'm starting to think me and apple can make-up now.
depends on how many non-ipad packages are being shipped.... one plane could be all ipad, one could be all "regular" packages... who knows?

Random Order Shipping
Look, I am as irritated as the next guy. My 32/black/ATT is still not yet shipped. BUT I am pretty sure 99% of the people on here do not understand logistics. Geography, model, batch shipments all factor in to shipping as quickly and cheaply as possible. I am not so sure this is random, but possibly very complicated.

No Fed Ex is moving these in bulk as a fast as they can. Call it what you will and its a great CS rep ploy to make you feel like you got something, but I doubt you did. Once it ships, they are moving fast no matter what your 'type' of shipping is called. China to US in 2 days is great, 3 days very good no matter they call it.
Polling continues, please update your status
I have created a doodle to try and track where our Ipads are. If you were one of the geeks to woke up on the March 11th, and placed your order before 9 AM PDT, please go to this doodle to let us know where you are with your order status (due to limitation of doodling, assume that March 18th is March 11th for this poll purposes). When your status changes, please update your selection (just follow the instructions in the doodle. )
Remember to insert your ipad version instead of your name.
Please, no cheating (i.e. no ****ing around, edit only your responses, this is the only free tool I have access to, lets use it for good, not evil. If you respond to the poll through your own doodle account (or create a new one before responding), no one but you will be able to edit your reply later).
If you placed your order after 9 AM PDT on March 11th, you can still see how the shipments are fulfilled and guesstimate the speed of fulfillment for yours.

LMAO! You go both and yours already shipped? Damn, I will be calling for a free smartcover no matter what now. Already bought one, so I'd just sell it... I'll try and get a leather
Wasn't talking to you, so I don't care if you're "stylish" or not
I'm pretty sure those of us with expedited shipping and/or free smart cover are enjoying it though. Thanks anyway.
