Finally!!! Went to prepared for shipping in the last 2 hours some time. I know that doesn't mean much but I've been waiting for something, anything since the 11th at 12:47 pst. :D

64g white ATT

Went from prepared to shipped A few hours ago to shipped at midnight. :) eta 22nd I'm in NYC
 
Finally, the status on my 64GB Black Wifi+3G(ATT) has moved from "not shipped" to "prepared for shipment." Hallelujah!

My Smart Case and AV adapter have been partying on Lantau Island for four days, now, so I'm glad they'll have a new friend to keep them company.
 
White 64GB ATT 3G just shipped

I ordered mine at 1:27am. Did anyone find a logic in the way they sort orders? Is it related to delivery destination?

Mine is expected to be delivered to SO CAL.
 
Prepared for Shipment

My 32G 3G BLK ATT finally moved to "Prepared for Shipment"... Right here with many of you ATT models... :D... At least one step closer...

I ordered right after 1am, got confirmation email at 1:13 but it say 1:25 at apple order status page... If it ships during business hour today, it's the 5th business day... Almost felt unlucky that I picked ATT model, I wasn't even sure if I am going to use it.

This thread gives me strong emotional support....:eek:

Same exact thing here. Fedex says Friday. But tracking still says Lantau island.
 
On the way...

Maybe this is going to be one fedex jet filled with nothing but ipads top to bottom. Lets hope nothing goes wrong with the flight! It's gonna be a massive shipment.

My iPad has now been sitting in Newark, NJ for over 24 hours. I live 3 hours away. They need to leave Newark right now to make it on a local truck for delivery. If it doesn't come tomorrow Apple is going to be hearing from me, lol.

Because honestly, there's no reason it shouldn't have been delivered already when others were two days ago.
 
Finally prepared for shipping

I placed my order at 4:03 EST on March 11 for a white 3G AT&T 64GB and I just now saw the status of the order change to "prepared for shipment".

Much slower than anything I had ordered from the online store in the past.
 
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 use fedex and ups ALOT and ive noticed in general fedex will deliver like right at their deadline which sucks (to massachusetts)

UPS on the other hand and especially the UPS new jersey facility is state of the art and can move things in 1 day to new england and deliver way early



I prefer UPS

Fedex drags their feet all the time - my thought is they will look at the package and say "oh we got 1 more day for that, skip it"
 
Errr my Fedex tracking earlier tonight was showing delivery for the 22nd and now it changed to the 23rd sigh One extra day isn't that big a deal, but I wouldn't consider this fast shipping, another 6 days now of waiting.

Currently in transit to Lantau Island HK slowly making it's way to me in NYC.

And it continues to sit in Lantau freaking island. I am so annoyed with this shipment process at this point. Spending whole days with no movement is just not acceptable. To top it all fedex still says Friday by 4:30. Laughable.
 
ugh!

I have been sitting as "prepared to ship" since Monday. This is getting ridiculous. It better ship today because they told me 3-5 business days, and they now have less than 24 hours. :mad::mad::mad:
 
I think my Fedex Pilot got Lost or something.

the fedex site has this for the tracking info;

I think mine is on the same ride to NYC, just got bumped to the 23rd from the 22nd currently sitting at Lantau Island.
 
I'm hoping I'll wake up tomorrow with a "Out For Delivery" Status

2 guys I work with ordered one 15 mins after me and 1 hour and 45mins and both are sitting in "Not Yet Shipped" status.
