Received your iPad 2 shipping notice? Post here!

[OMGitworks]

Just got the email that my white 16gb wifi has just shipped but the delivery date is for the 22nd. I was thinking it would be a little sooner than that since it was shipped today, but at least it is finally shipped and thats all that matters!

Is that an Apple date or Fed Ex? I think Apple is being conservative and Fed Ex is moving these things faster than Apple is promising once they hit the US centers.

What that makes no sense?

yep agreed ;9

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

Picked up by Fedex, now sitting somewhere in Shenzhen. Fedex says my package was received after Fedex cutoff. Does that mean I have to wait 24 hours for it to start moving?

I'm actually surprised at just how fast this actually shipped. Ordered on Friday, and it arrives on Wednesday.

For those with iPads stuck in Newark:

Just saw on the news a fedex warehouse at Newark airport was robbed. Several large containers were taken. Police are investigating.

What that makes no sense?

Just because a package is at the local fed ex/ups sort center doesn't mean you can pick it up.

You either have to request pick up in advance and wait to get a notification that it's ready, or they have to have made one delivery attempt and you can then request them to hold it--and have to wait for it to be ready to pick up (tracking status will be something like held at facility for customer pick up."

When it first gets to a sort center it's in the warehouse mixed in with a crap ton of other packages. You can't pick it up as they aren't going to go dig around and find it for you.

Once you've asked for pick up, they'll find it and put it on a shelf in the back room behind the customer desk so they can easily find it when you arrive to pick it up.

 

[gvlad00]

Not at all. Look back over the last ten pages. Many of us were stuck in AK yesterday and are out for delivery today. They can get to you by tomorrow.

Theres hope!! Thanks!!

 

[J.G.]

Did you tell them what I suggested to the guy above?

I tried. I was patronized by the lady who continued to tell me that they are still within the promised shipping window. I guess the reality is, some of us are getting screwed if we ordered early while others are getting lucky ordering later and getting them way early. Ah well. It will come soon. I wanted mine before my family and I left for vacation this weekend!

 

[MBMBaMdotcom]

mine i bought 1:08am and last night it said leaving HK. Delivery hopefully on the 18th @ 4:30 deep in the heart of texas!

So what's next for Steve Jobs can anyone guess? He's been working on this iPad idea for probably the last 10 years. I hope this isn't the only legacy he plans to leave behind. I hope his team has even more ideas. But if it's just thinner and faster tablets from here on out thats cool too.

I guess you could always try calling again- I had to call twice before I got mine.

For all those wondering about ATT White models I ordered a 64GB White ATT 3G engraved and it shipped on Monday.

mines is still sitting in SHENZHEN CN because "Package received after FedEx cutoff" ... bummer

Well I'm glad yours finally is on the move!!!

Fedex does a lot of flights at night. Someone who lives in Atlanta had theirs delivered today after having landed in TN the night before. It's 6 1/2 to 7 hours drive from Memphis to Atlanta. I think its probable that yours could be out for delivery tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then definitely Thursday.

My iPad is currently on a flight from Alaska to Tennessee. I'm hoping it'll be in my hands tomorrow

I live in Atlanta, and they fly them in from Memphis to ATL. They don't drive them.

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.

Yes - I am too.

annoyed:

2011-03-15 15:52:00 Held at Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK
2011-03-15 15:17:00 Released for delivery ANCHORAGE, AK
2011-03-15 12:53:00 Arrived at Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK

I know this has been happening to a lot of people. Any explanations out there?

Thanks.

I can't figure it out - I'm in the same position. It's irritating. I'm trying to find out when the flights are out of ANC today, but I'm not having much luck. I want to know the schedules for any MEM or INDY flights today. I'm scheduled for tomorrow delivery before 4:30, and it'll make that if it gets out of AK this afternoon.

Here you can see one says "Held at Sort Facility" and the other says "In Transit." It's kind of confusing.

 

[RoxJ]

Got my shipping notification!

Finally! Looks like its already been in transit for a while. I hope I get as lucky as some of you and have it delivered by Friday/Saturday instead of Tuesday. Heck Ill even take Monday morning as long as its before I leave town

64GB ATT 3G -- Finally Prepared for Shipment

My order for a 64GB ATT 3G was placed on Mar 11, 2011 at 02:35 AM PDT.

Just this morning went to "Prepared for Shipping."

Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25

Just posting for those who were checking this post and their e-mail and Apple Order Status every few hours.

I was going to contact Apple tomorrow. My cover came in yesterday.

*Edit: Mine was engraved.

 

[AJsAWiz]

Wow that chip on your shoulder must be heavy.

I enjoy this thread..makes me chuckle to see how large a market Apple has in the whiny baby demographic...

Anywho, just an FYI for everyone forgetting.. Apple is so far still within their promised shipping frames (in fact, they're really only just now getting to that frame..everyone's who has already shipped should be thanking Apple for over delivering on their promise). Where were all of you on launch day? Over a hundred pages of impatience and none thought to line up last Friday? Why, because you thought Apple was lying with their published schedule and now you're pissed off that they were not?

I guess what I'd really like to know is how so many 10 year olds can even afford iPads....

Ordered mine online before the ordering window was technically supposed to be open (what a nice surprise). If I felt I just HAD to have it earlier I would have been one of the first (if not the first) in line at the Apple Store. In life we make choices and often reap the consequences good or bad for those decisions.

it just came box a bid squished
I need to open it don't I

I know but what doesn't make sense is that theirs is in town and it's going to sit in the hub all day

My white 64GB AT&T ordered on March 11, 1:05am PT, finally shipped.
I received the shipping notice at 7:20am this morning after being stuck in "Prepared for shipment" for almost 3 days.
According to Apple delivery date is March 23, Fedex says March 22.

Are you SERIOUS or making a joke here.. I can't tell ????

 

[aplqna]

Read this- could this affect those of us who are still "not yet shipped"?

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/16/apple_rethinks_inventory_management_for_ipad_2.html


It says in there, too, that they are "telling little white lies to avoid the wrath of the customer". Isn't that illegal?

 

[MacFanJeff]

My black iPad 32GB WiFi is on truck for delivery today. It is arriving 2 days ahead of what the Fed-Ex tracking said. Also, Apple said to arrive between 18-25th so very happy here.

 

[lchen19]

Not yet shipped

32 3G BLK ATT ordered on 1:25am march 11th...
I am traveling on 24th. I still hope it will get here before the trip...

Called CSR, no option to expedite... reimburse me the cover.... Have to call again in a few hours... It's killing me...

 

[stewie7669]

With the way people act around here I wouldn't even sell to half of you.

Seriously! This post is not directed at you personally either. 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.

Let me guess.... you got YOUR ipad, right?
