Appreciate your perspective

People, people....why so negative? What are you expecting? Apple is still within their promised shipping window time! We are now only in the beginning of our 4th business day. And from a friend of mine who works for Apple, they consider it the 3rd business day after the date of order. (Which is why launch day was a Friday.

I think we need to settle down here and stop calling it your worst experience ever. I think its okay to be frustrated if you lack patience, but to start criticizing is pointless.

I fully understand they are within their delivery window for my IPad but based on the Fedex delivery date for the Smart Cover they are going to miss the original window for it.

I am in no way criticizing Apple because I think they are a great company and I do business with them because they provide quality products and quality customer support and have done so for many years.

I have owned at least 7 apple computers going back to pre MAC days, on my third iPhone and this will be my second iPad.

I do believe that I can say that based on my experience with this company and the many launches I have been a part of they wern't as well prepared for this one as other launches in the past.

I think most people are critical because of the lack of a pre-order. In the past if you planned ahead you could get one on launch day without the need to be a "line nerd".

Online tracking says that mine is at my local fedex facility, so I called fedex to see I could pick it up, but I got better news, mine made it to the truck and it will be delivered today.

Wow. Same situation with me and I'm in the same city! Our iPads traveled together. :D Tracking just updated to show it's on the truck.

Wrong thread, I know but somewhat related. If Apple had allowed pre-orders they would have been better able to gauge actual demand and had another 2 weeks (or more) to ramp up product and preposition units. Just sayin'.... What are they going to do about launches in other countries now.

White 16 GB 3G AT&T model at 1:19AM still not yet shipped. When I called CS last night was told they were on schedule as 5 business days gives them until 1:19AM this Friday and then they have 5 more business days to get it to me. No way to upgrade shipping and they have not and are not giving anything away to orders that are within stated time frames. She did know that others had shipped and even been received. She even stated she regularly checks this forum...

i called last night they also told me the same thing ,but then i called again and got different rep she said she added expedited shipping and was gonna give me the blue smart cover i check my status and didn't seem to be there so i called again a 1 hour ago and explained my situation again he said expedited shipping was not being given out so i guess they just added 2 day to the box that said standard shipping before but he did give me my blue smart cover free of charge and i should be in your timeframe i ordered mines 1:06PST
