Oops. Had it in my head it was Sunday today. Other than that, it is pretty obvious they are working on sunday with all of the shipment notifications we are seeing. I am pretty sure those plants run 24/7.
Got a tip for us?

Prepared for Shipment
Product Qty.1
IPAD WI-FI 3G 64GB WHITE - PRSN-USA
Engraved
Ships: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Mar 18 - Mar 25
What does the "USA" mean? I guess yours didn't ship from China. If it did, my question is answered and they are shipping around the clock in China, even though it is currently 4:23 AM.
That's the thing, because it looks like binary, it's just cool. I wouldn't mind buying that second hand.
If it had said
"January 24th, 2010. 2Gether4Ever"
I would not even think about getting it.
God, I hope they do! I get confused because many people show screen shots that have "USA" next to the description of their shipped orders...

Engraved? Awesome, now I'll REALLY start refreshing every 2 minutes.
Engraving hurts resale value...
If you check with Gazelle, I think it showed a difference in their offer of about $100 for the 64G 3g/wifi version. That's $100 less if you have your iPad personalized and sell it to them.

Damn, that's a pretty chunk when it comes to resale. Glad I never do engraving because I don't keep my products for anymore than a year anyway.

Yep, I seem to be the first engraved "prepared for shipment" on the forum so far...
It is a large chunk, I agree. I probably wouldn't do it again in the future, either. My thinking was I'd probably keep this for a while, as I just got out of grad school and don't frequently buy high priced items. If I decided to sell it down the road, I'd probably just give my old one to my husband (who, obviously, wouldn't care if 101010 was on it) or sell it to my sister (who is 18) or one of her friends. They're young undergrads who wouldn't care if it had a couple of numbers on the back, especially since it's pretty easy to cover it with a case if it meant they didn't have to pay 400-500 bucks for an iPad.
Ordered my black 64gb 3G with no engraving at 12:42am. Still waiting.. Curse you random nature of contract manufacturing!
Of those of you that have had shipments go out with an estimated arrival date of the 17th - are any of you on the East Coast? Or simply Left Coasters?
Thanks.
Thanks.
fedex says my 32gb wifi black is being "picked up" from Shenzhen, China.
while my smart cover is "in transit" from Sacramento.
so they are moving!!

I'm near DC and FedEx says delivery on the 17th for one of my iPads. The other is not even prepared for shipment.
