I swear waiting on Fedex's truck to get here is worse than watching my iPad sit in Alaska for 30 hours. One FedEx Home Delivery truck went by around 11 and didn't even slow down. Since then, I've been looking out the window every time I hear a loud truck or van go by, quietly cursing with each disappointment. So close, yet so far still.

FWIW, one cover and one ipad came here today, and they came on separate FdEx trucks, and hour apart.
 
mine is just changed to "on fedex vehicle for delivery". yay...
but why the estimated delivery still says March 18?
I should get my ipad today by 4:30pm right?

Our first one came today and it was noted to be here tomorrow, the dates on these are all skewed.
 
This is the first time I try to buy anything during a launch. And likely the last. I don't mind the wait, but it does seem that if they can't fill demand for those who got up early to order, they shouldn't be sending additional orders to stores. And those who ordered what I did *after* I ordered it, should receive it *after* I have received mine. I guess it's a desire for things to be fair.

Anyone else with a pre 3-am PDT order that hasn't shipped?

IPAD WI-FI 3G 16GB BLACK-USA

Has anyone's ATT 16GB Ipad shipped yet? I've been stuck in "prepared for shipment" for the past 2 days.

Mine was Prepared to ship for over THREE days before it shipped. Give it time.
 
Mine arrived today at about 1:30. My wife signed for it and I'm stuck at work. Cant wait to get home and try out my mew Ipad 2.
 
Very poor communication

I set my alarm and ordered a 64GB Black Ipad2 at 12:45am PST. I live on the East Coast. At the time of the order, my expected delivery dates were March 17-25th, however it has not even shipped yet. No updates, no emails, nothing. My orange case did ship but has been stuck in Alaska for over 24 hours, so that's not arriving tomorrow as planned either. Ive made numerous trips into the local Apple store and they don't know anything, or are refusing to say. I've pretty much had it with this Apple culture of withholding information from its customers that drop close to a $1,000 on their products every few months.

Is it true Apple customer care is providing small refunds for our trouble?
 
my smart-cover (shipped this morning) has a delivery date of March 21st and my iPad (shipped 2 days ago) has a delivery date of March 22nd. Now I'm going to be pissed if my smart cover speed pass my iPad and both shipped from the same place.

mines right there with yours and my estimate says tuesday


Mine is there too. When the hell is the next flight off that damn island! Mine still says Friday but I'm very doubtful at this point. Maybe Saturday. How fast are they moving from Alaska to the NE (CT)?

Ain't gonna happen. You made the mistake of letting your wife get her hands on it. Kiss it goodbye. ;)

Mine is still on the truck. I think the FedEx guy is taking a super-long lunch/smoke break.
 
Not yet shipped - 64GB Black ATT ordered at 2:54am PDT.

For those people who are calling and getting free swag - what exactly are you complaining about? (I'd like to get in on it, but can't see how I could complain if we're still within the 3-5 business day window, and still arguably within any 5 day window).
 
My smart cover arrived!

Mine is with yours and has a Friday delivery...I am thinking Memphis and not AK.
 
Free Cover

Just talked to a CS rep...he said he could not explain why others that ordered after me had already shipped and some had received theirs without mine even shipping or being prep'd to ship yet. He did however, as a good will gesture, refund the cost of my smart cover.

I though everyone saying that on here was full of BS...guess I was wrong. Just call and complain enough!

IPAD WI-FI 3G 16GB BLACK-USA

Has anyone's ATT 16GB Ipad shipped yet? I've been stuck in "prepared for shipment" for the past 2 days.

I ordered the same unit at 6:07am EST - been in "prepared for shipment" mode since 3/14 at 9am. I was hoping for delivery by 3/21 since I leave for vacation on 3/22 & really, really wanted to take it with me. Oh well, I haven't lost all hope yet!

I saw someones go from Lantau Island to Indianapolis in less than 24 hours the day after leaving Lantau they had it delivered. It really depends how close you live to the final flying destination because then they will be driven in the Fedex truck.
 
Black AT&T 64 Gig 3G/Wifi still "Not Yet Shipped"

Ordered at 1:06 AM PST on the 11th,

64Gig AT&T 3G/Wifi Black

Nothing going on with that. Still shows "Not Yet Shipped."

Ordered the Black Leather Cover along with the iPad. It is showing on FedEx as "In transit, Lantau Island, HK."

Ordered the HDMI Cable later that day, and it arrived a day early, today.
 
anyone have that flight page and guidance how to use it?

for those still in HK at Lantau island the next flight out is at 9:11 there time which would put them in tn
at 9:46 am
