After talking to 5 different reps i finally got them to admit they they are having a really hard time getting the 3G ipads out for some reason.

They finally offered to send me a case and said they would be happy to do it for free.

Attached shows you that they really are doing it for free and adding it to the order

I'd love to get a free case, but how do you justify it? There really isn't a delay yet if you're in the March 18-25 window. Give me some ammo please!
 
16gb White 3g ATT . Ordered 12:57am PST 3/11
My order is also "not yet shipped"
Ok so i called apple right now and the rep told me that everything is going fine and don't call back until March 25th, my last delivery date because it's on track.

When i asked how come the delay, she said there was no delay unless i don't get it by march 25th, please call then.:mad:
 
why is mine sitting in LANTAU ISLAND?

Mine too! I hope it's only a quick stay there. I have a FedEx delivery date of the 18th and the final destination is Denver. I would be bummed if it ends up being Monday instead of Friday
 
What do you consider first batch? I think it depends on the model, mine hasn't shipped and it was ordered at 1:01

I consider mine to be in the first batch, at least - 16GB White WiFi ordered at 12:42AM Pacific time.

It's right on schedule. =)
 
FINALLY! PREPARED FOR SHIPPING, Ordered BLACK 64GB WIFI 3G ON 11th at 1:45 am ;) YEAH!!

BTW...
I'm in California
 
Same here, but I don't think they are actually saying Departed Lantau Island... So chances are its already left...

A lot of the tracking things mention ramps though after Lantau but before Anchorage. If i'm reading that flightaware thing right is there a flight to memphis tonight at 9CST? If so thats our best shot of getting the hell of that island!

Going straight to Memphis is about the only way i see this thing making its scheduled arrival in CT by Friday afternoon.

If it does make the memphis flight, do you think it could get all the way up to Maine, for a Friday delivery?
 
Finally, my order just changed to "Prepared For Shipment". I ordered the White 64GB 3G AT&T model on the 11th @ 12:54 AM PDT. It's about time :D.

I know right!!! Those darn Islanders better not be testing our new toys.

I right there with ya!!! Looks like quite a few of us have been sitting there since 10:55 pm. The only thing I know is that it's almost 8:30 am tomorrow there and everyone should be "reporting for work" if they haven't already. I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa Clause only he drives a big white truck!
 
Ok a little update on my status..


My 64GB 3G ATT (Black) just went to prepared for shipping..

My 16GB 3G ATT (White) stills says not ready to ship...

you arent the only one brother.. mine is stuck in newark too..

was stuck in alaska for a day.. now stuck at the airport.. this is annoying.. but i guess they really have no excuse to not deliver tomorrow.. one more day..

i guess the northeast shipments were the only ones in the country that was delayed, but atleast they are delivering early tomorrow !! :D:apple:

I ordered at 12:52 and 12:56 PM PST :D
A few minutes can have hundreds of orders ! But since they opened the store earlier than 1 AM, no one knew and i was among the first to order then. It seems that the iPads were shipped upon configuration with the 16GB Wifi Black beginning first. Shipped Saturday morning
 
My smart cover is the one on top and it shipped out this morning and my iPad shipped out yesterday morning. I noticed they were shipped using different services and that explains why my smart cover caught up with my iPad and might bypass it.
