Ship already!

I ordered a 32GB White WiFi only model at 5:03 a.m. My order still has not shipped as of this posting. I ordered the Camera Kit and a Black Leather Smart Cover at the same time. Both of those items have shipped and will be delivered today (Camera Kit) and Friday (Smart Cover). Why the huge delay on the iPad though?
 
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.

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.

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.
 
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 ;-)


Absolutely false. Mine was ordered that way at 12:46 and its still "not yet shipped". 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.
 
The waiting game...

Well, I wasn't able to order the iPad 2, until 10:32am EST on March 12, but my delivery date is April 14 for my iPad 2, but my smart cover comes in a week before- LOL I better play with that smart cover and know the "ins and outs" lol...I hope I am not the longest wait
 
I bought mine in the 3 to 5 day window (6:11 AM EST), but it still hasn't shipped yet.

I ordered a black 16GB 3G AT&T at 6:07AM EST - also in the 3 - 5 window for shipping. My iPad has been in the "prepared for shipment" mode for 53+ hours at this point. What did you order?
 
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.
 
Two black 64GB WiFi ordered at 2:45am CST March 11th:

10:44am this morning are on FedEx vehicle for delivery. According to FedEx tracking.

ETA still says March 17th by 4:30pm.
 
got my cord just now! it wasnt supposed to deliver til tomorrow.

*tries to force her hopes down that she will get her ipad delivered sooner than estimated with all her might*:eek:
 
Status on iPad2

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.
 
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.

I called and let them know that I was frustrated by the projected 6 days of delivery time and the fact that they are bumping some and not others and handing out free Smart covers. She refunded the money that i paid for my Smartcover, but clarified that all iPad orders are already using expedited shipping and that any change made in the system won't speed things up.
 
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?

did someone from the alcoholic ipod clan say that there is a flight to TN tonight from Lantau island?
