Ipad 2 Shipping
I ordered my 64G Verizon Black Ipad at 1:45 Am MST. It is now on a truck for delivery.

it hasnt been 6 days! Sundays are not a shipping day.
Just got off the phone with apple rep
she said units that are "3g" wifi are taking longer, last to ship!
Standard wifi only orders are going out first as they are the bulk of what they made first.
I'm in California too. Did she give you an estimated delivery date if it ships within 24 hours?
This is also a lie. Mine is wifi only 12:45 PST 3/11 and hasn't budged from "not yet shipped" while plenty of 3G orders after mine have been delivered.
Please note that this is unverified, but a trustworthy friend told me this "solution" is underway for him:
Basically, my friend called an Apple Store to discuss iPad 2 availability, and somehow got on the phone with their head of business sales who told him that the Apple Stores are giving preference to their business customers (i.e., new iPad 2 stock goes to business orders first). He says that he simply setup a business profile for his company and then ordered several iPads (for him and a few of his colleagues). Coincidentally, his company may actually become an ongoing business customer, purchasing iPhones, iPads, and possibly Macs for or on-behalf-of it's employees, so I'm sure that helps his chances of getting iPad stock soon.
If this pans out, he'll be able to cancel his shipping-in-4-5-weeks online order and instead have an iPad in just a few days. I'll keep the thread posted on the success ;-)
Most of the units I've seen going out are wifi only, and haven't seen any black 64GB 3G wifi units received yet. Most still in NOT YET SHIPPED catagory. And it sounds right because now the 3G units have to be made for both AT&T and Verizon, making it more complicated and WIFI ONLY IS THE MOST SIMPLE CONFIGURATION.
Idk why people are trying to find logic in their methods, when there isn't one to be found...
You're right, it sounds logical, but if you look through this thread, there are a good amount of 3G's going out and plenty of early wifi's that haven't.
I bought mine in the 3 to 5 day window (6:11 AM EST), but it still hasn't shipped yet.
I knew it. All I had to do was post that I was tired of waiting on Fedex and it arrives!!! Sorry to those still waiting. For the record, ordered at 3:38AM.

I got a free smart cover from them and posted a pic of it being prepared for shipment, he made sure it was the fastest shipping he could give me as well as shipping from the US. I told him I found it frustrating that Apple and FedEx wouldn't let me update my shipping/Apple and FedEx giving different shipping information/Order being delayed. Then I told him 5 friends of mine who ordered around the same time as me, got a free smart cover expedited to them. He then asked which color I wanted and was really helpful.
If you really want one just call CS and if they don't help hang up and call back and hit "0" to get a new rep and try again...
My iPad has been on the truck since 8am est and Apple said it would deliver by today but FedEx still says tomorrow, I'm hoping its today especially since I'm 5 miles from the local hub.
Mine is also with yours. If I remember correctly one of our fellow ipad neighbors has a delivery date of Tues...to give everyone hope mine is due in Tulsa on Friday...I am starting to wonder if they will push it to Monday...but Monday is the latest it can be due to FedEx 3-5 Business day rule...minus delays at the boarder.
but fedex doesnt deliver on sat or sun?
I ordered the iPad2 on Friday March 11 at 1:45am PST along with the Blue Polyurethane Smart Cover. I received my Smart Cover on Tuesday March 15. I'm still waiting for the iPad2 to ship. My status is
Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25
I have not received an email stating that it's been shipped.
