When is your estimated delivery date?

The estimated delivery date is 3/22 but I was hoping for sooner.

 

[danredwing]

Stateside!!!!

Surprised that mine skipped Anchorage altogether and went straight to Memphis.

My status still says the estimated delivery is the 22nd, but I'm thinking that I'm either looking at Saturday (If they do Saturday delivery)or Monday.

My was there at 23:59 as well. Why not this flight?

Ive been on "the Island of misfit toys" for 36 hours now ...I am sure hoping they missed a scan and we are on a flight bound to the US

 

[migidymac]

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.

...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...

So 7 days and 12 hours later my order is still "prepared for shipment"!!!
32GB AtT black
12:44 am PST on the 11th.

Finally got the shipping notice about 10 minutes ago.
It says Delivers by the 22nd by 10:30 am.
Service type: IP Direct distribution

 

[stewie7669]

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.

Interesting. You are further along than I. Mine popped into shipped the same time as yours but mine has had no movement since left SHENZEN or whatever it is. Mine isn't destined for the island of misfit toys....

Great... FedEx lost mine already!

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.

 

[jessicasi]

Come on - you can do it!

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?

 

[stewie7669]

That is precisley what this clusterf*ck product launch has been.... Marketing. I am 100% positive about three things....

1. Apple upped the planned launch date becuase other tablets were beginning to get all the publicity. They new damn well they would never have enough supply but they had to get it out there.

2. Apple planned it to the tee to not have any pre-orders, thereby maximizing the amount of people standing in lines, thereby generating the most publicity and making the whole world see that EVERYONE wants an iPad but there are no lines for other tablets. They then hand a few dozen iPads to Target, WalMart, Best Buy, ATT and Verizon so that lines form there as well, again generating the maximum publicity.

3. That Apple had absolutely no idea this many people would want one and got caught with their pants not only down, but not even in the same room! As is the Apple way, instead of coming clean with the public that they screwed the pooch completely on this launch, they just say nothing and keep singing the Company line "You are still within the delivery window" and mostly keeping silent.

 

[captainfester]

Memphis by 2330 cst!!!

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 !!!!!

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 also just outside of DC, in Maryland. I still haven't gotten a shipping notice. Is anyone else with "ships in 5-7 business days" still waiting?

 

[OMGitworks]

The estimated delivery date is 3/22 but I was hoping for sooner.

Unfortunately, they are hitting the estimated dated but no upside surprises as Apple has done before. They are holding and stalling shipments with EDDs for next week even though it would have been very possible for them to get them here today. I am still hoping for a Monday surprise

What is the last status you have from FedEx? Mine says:

Any chase mine could be on there too?

I don't think they deliver international packages on Saturday but I could be wrong.

 

[meeh16]

just got an email that my 64gb black wifi only engraved have been shipped with a schedule delivery of March 25th

hopefully it will make it as I leave the next day

 

[tmtravel]

Ok guys first i will apologize in advance if I tick anyone off for sounding like a spoiled brat...

I have been following this thread off an on since Tuesday. I have learned alot from all of you and it has for the large part been very helpful. For that I thank you all.

I just hopped over to some of the other threads just to see whats going on and I have to say it made me a little angry. Looks like some people are running around to various locations and snapping up stock like vultures. Then bragging about it to boot! Argh and we are all just waiting for shipment notices or movement on our notices because they are for our personal use.

Just had to get it off my chest

 

[dcetom]

I dont want to be a buzzkill but I doubt Apple paid for Sat. delivery or if it is even an option for international packages. Your best bet would be to call FedEx and see if you have any options where you could pick it up or something like that.

 

[dhurricane74]

Thank you! Once I have the info I am ok following it, but I can't seem to figure out how to find the flight that these are departing from.

Lines, earnings, wanting to cut the Xoom off at the knees so it didn't get traction. Verizon to blame for 2 of those 3. Unfortunately they are now acting and delivering customer service more like Verizon than Apple. Who would have thought that Target would be your best bet to try to get an IPAD in your hands in the first week?? Apple stores are a joke and online has been OK but nothing special.

is that apple's quote or FedEx? I have noticed Apple is a little more conservative about the delivery date.
