My ipad is on the truck for delivery! Plus I called this am and told them if every body else is getting a smart cover I want one and they gave it to me!!
 
Its at my local FED ex, they are running about 1 hour late so i will wait and see if it hits a truck if not run down and pick it up.
 
Sorry, not happy for her- I'll be honest!




What did CS do for you when you called? I hope at least expedited shipping or a free smartcover.

Yes, expedited shipping. The lady was nice, but she had to stick with the corporate BS that iPad were only starting to ship today... I told her the internet is filled with screenshots from their website showing shipping started at least on 03/14. She answered she couldn't comment on external forums... Well trained... But not what customers are expecting in this type of situation. :mad:
 
Per Yahoo!:

2011-03-16 08:55:00 Arrived at FedEx Destination Location BUDD LAKE, NJ

FedEx still showing "Departed FedEx location, NEWARK, NJ".

*squee* :D

Jealous, mine is still showing that it's sitting in Newark NJ. It needs to come to Philly ASAP!! Anyone have any guesses if these Newark iPads will get delivered today if they are still sitting there?
 
Received, 32g white wi-fi iPad at 940AM in Atlanta.

Cover which shipped same day still sits in China, go figure. Did get the camera connection kit too. Ordered (according to website) 238 Pacific (it was 538 here in Atlanta obviously) on the 11th
 
WAIT- Everyone stop for a minute. You've got to be ****ing kidding me- 4:02 ***PM*** and her's is shipped?! I have the same order, but I ordered a full TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE and still have "not yet shipped". SOMEBODY GIVE ME A GLASS VASE- I need to throw it against a WALL! :mad:

This was meant to say 4:02 AM EASTERN March 11th. Sorry about that, one too many Sam Adams last night :rolleyes:

I don't understand how they have the legal right to dole out false information like that to "placate" a customer.
 
Mine has made it to the truck! The Facility is only about 5 miles from where I live, but it still says By the 17th at 4:30 I hope it gets here today!

I'm about to call CS to complain about who I spoke with on the phone last night and try and get an expedited smart cover.

about that expedited shipping i think that's just there to make us feel better cause i called again today told him the last person i talked to added 2 day shipping he said everybody gets the same standard shipping ,i'm seeing 2 day on my order status but on his end he is seeing standard shipping and no option to upgrade it.

Then someone is lying. It is illegal business practice, I would think.

Which number are you guys calling to complain about the shipping?
 
My iPad just shipped!! Went from prepared for shipping at 3am to shipped by 10:15am! Estimated delivery is March 22, I'm on the east coast. Standard Fedex shipping though.

And to recap again I ordered a 16GB white wifi (no engraving) at 4:02 AM

EDIT: After looking at the tracking info, it looks like my shipment information was only sent to Fedex. It hasn't gone anywhere
 
My iPad was stuck in Anchorage for 30 hours, and now it has been in Newark since 2 AM in this morning. I have a feeling it won't be delivered today... Anyone else in the same situation as me?

Call any 1-800- customer service number. They will transfer you to where you need to be if you press 0 over and over till someone picks up. Ask for sales.
 
FINALLY!!!!!!!

On FedEx vehicle for delivery
ZANESVILLE, OH​

The "in transit" from Indy was a glitch. It was going from Columbus to Zanesville. Took about 2 hours from arrival at Cols to Zville, which is normally about how long that drive takes on I-70. Very happy. Hopefully the truck makes it here before 3:30 or I might be late for work tonight. ;)


We have two FedEx points for my town. The FedEx Ground guy comes out of one city, New Philadelphia, while Express comes out of Zanesville. They both stop by where I work and they both confirmed that. So for the folks still waiting, once your package ships, expect Express delivery. :)
 
Grown men hiding outside stalking fedex deliveries to apple stores, people claiming if their ipad is opened in the store they will "punch the employee in the face", arguing about long lines, bitching about re-sellers, tracking planes, making unreasonable demands, constant harrassing phone calls to stores and apples customer service lines. All of this is childesh behavior if you ask me.

Why are you here complaining to hundreds of people who disagree with you?

If you've gotten your iPad, shouldn't you be enjoying it? Let me know if it's not worth the money and I will cancel. Perhaps you could be of some help that way.

wow.. my ipad just doesn't want to come to me. After a full day of just sitting in Alaska.. it is now just sitting in newark since 2 am.. I guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow now, but I won't get my hopes up.

and I guess other people are also stuck in newark..

Frankly I don't care if people agree with me or not. Just reminding some around here to take a step back, look in the mirror, and realize how you are acting. If that's acceptable behavior to you more power to you.

It's more than acceptable to me. Apple is being unacceptable. Thank you for your concern :rolleyes:
 
Bunch of damn cry babies. Seriously how old are some of you?

When you placed your order did it not say:

Ships 3- 5 business days
Delivers Mar 18 - Mar 25 standard shipping.


I'm pretty sure it did. Now go look for your nook nooks or bankies and go take a nap. ;)
Agree....

And begging for a free cover, and to upgrade shipping, thats something they cant do from China. Period.
