When is your estimated delivery date?
The estimated delivery date is 3/22 but I was hoping for sooner.
When is your estimated delivery date?
My was there at 23:59 as well. Why not this flight?
Yep, I am guessing the logistics people at Apple are VERY unhappy with the sales/internet people there. Apple is swamped by demand no doubt, but they put incredible pressure on the shipping folks and left them with bad choices all around to meet the stated deadlines. I bet the logistics people at Apple are appalled at what they are having to do to meet deadlines and just get the product "shipped" even if that means ditching the containers on some island off the coast for 24-48 hours at a time. The poor CS people are being swamped with unhappy loyal Apple customers who expect better. If this was Verizon or MS pulling this, then OK, but Apple, up until now was always better than this. I hoe the days of happy customer service and delivery surprises from Apple are not over for good.
So 7 days and 12 hours later my order is still "prepared for shipment"!!!
32GB AtT black
12:44 am PST on the 11th.
Looks like we are watching the same batch! I'm in Northern VA just outside of DC.
64gb Black Wifi + ATT 3G - Ordered 3/11 at 1:14 AM PDT.
Got shipping notification about 3am this morning 3/18, with actual "movement" around 10:00 am.
Date/Time Status Location
2011-03-18 20:48:00 In transit LANTAU ISLAND,
Based on my camera kit shipping, 3/23 looks about right for east coast delivery.
A little bitter that those of us who ordered the one with the higher profit margin for Apple got put in the back of the line.

Does this mean I will have a destination and someone can tell me a flight number soon? (I hope, I hope, I hope!!!)
(64 GB 3g ATT, black - order processed @ 12:59 PST)
...and all because they insisted on forcing the issue of having people line up at the stores to buy... that coupled with the fact that I'm sure they rushed this launch in order to boost their earnings for the 1st qtr... All of this crap could have been avoided with a pre-order that automatically builds in time for logistics planning. Way to go Apple, piss off all your diehards for a sleazy marketing scheme...
Mine came in on the Memphis plane last night about 9:30PST. And is still there. Anyone else stuck in Memphis for almost 12 hours now?

So i have tracked the old ipad 2 to this flight....
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX98/history/20110318/1415Z/VHHH/KMEM
she should arrive memphis just before midnight tonight.
my est delivery to ct is tuesday. which seems like a long time considering i could drive to memphis and back twice before tuesday.
hoping the thing hops a quick flight to jersey and then onto north haven ct as that is the usual for fedex for me.
W!!!!!
btw ipad 2 64 gb black - wifi plus 3g att just fyg
Mine is in the same group. Now if they can just get them out to the individual cities today, we could see delivery tomorrow.

I'm playing around on the FlightAware site, trying to find something! I'll let you know if I come up with anything. That is if someone doesn't beat me.
