Is this true? No Saturday delivery?

My iPad finally shipped this morning. I was expecting it Saturday, but...

FedEx Express has Sat delivery as an added service, but when I checked my shipment on our system at work it was classified as a weekday delivery. Of course I can't speak for everyone's package but I assume most of them were shipped this way.
 
Have any of the black 64 wifis that prepped for shipping this afternoon shipped yet? Mine's still sittin' in prepped mode. I know there are folks who've been prepped for days, I'm just trying to get a sense.
 
Its 10:30pm and my iPad is still in Newark, NJ. It's almost been there for 24 hours. I live 3 hours away in Northeast PA. I'm gonna be mighty pissed if this thing isn't delivered tomorrow.
 
that is all :)

Package received after FedEx cutoff
Mar 16, 2011 6:09 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx

I'm guessing they are sending all the apple products at the same time, because my order was sent out more than 24 hours before your and they are sitting at the same location.
 
When I got my ipad 1 last year it was delivered on the 1st saturday after the release so, yes, FedEx does deliver these on Saturdays.
 
LOL I was gonna go on the chat and ask about Saturday delivery again to see if someone else would say somthing different but got connected to the same guy, and quickly x'ed out lol...

Anyway, some people are saying the shipper needs to pay for the extra shipping for saturday... I am really confused. I wish this would be cleared up!
 
Received Mine

I ordered mine pretty quick after it opened.

I received it yesterday afternoon about 5:30 PM.

It was scheduled to arrive on the 17th so that it was two days early.

Works well! :)

I hope I'm wrong and they do go out on Saturday! I was bummed when I saw weekday delivery on mine.
 
What do you do with this though? What airport are we looking for and white flight is the next one out of Lantau Island and when the heck does it leave?

It is for informational purposes only. It can leave from a number of airports, but if you take your departure time, and check the list i gave you of the current flights, you can find which flight it is on.
 
Anxious, but can't complain...too much

NOT YET SHIPPED

No preparing, No going

iPad 2 Black 64GB 3G ATT
Ships 5-7 business days

I think it was stated pretty clearly that the iPad would ship in 3-5 business days. And while I think that's silly compared to other online retailers (e.g. Amazon) who have it at your house sooner than that, it still said that up front.

When I started my order at 5am CST, it was 3-5 Business days to ship. By the time order actually placed, it was 5-7 business days. Disappointing, but I still haven't even hit that mark. It's only technically day 3, which means I do think it strange how people feel so wronged. If you got lied to by a CS Rep, that's a very different story

I even ordered mine through EPP program (redundant?). Better pricing, but apparently doesn't get me any special treatment. Even get to call the EPP CS, and they weren't even about to comp me a cover...and I ordered two. They just said "hey, we'll ship in 5-7 days, just like we said we would"

I did get my HDMI adapter...it's at least 9x as fast looking.
 
FedEx Will Not Deliver iPad's on Saturday unless it was requested by Apple OR it is on a Home Delivery service, which is not available from China. Please end all posts about Saturday delivery, because FedEx does not do this for INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS unless REQUESTED by SHIPPER

How do you get into the chat without a serial number? I tried to get someone, and all it'd do is give me a case number to call tomorrow :mad:

Where would this departure time be found?

Just to apple.com and go the store part and click on chat when it appears in the upper right corner... I have used chat tons of times and never needed any number...
