Hoping to see my white one go soon.... I still find it out that my navy will be here before the iPad 

It's actually only been 1 business day. As much as we're complaining, everything that is going on is "early" and sooner than promised.Its only been 2 days give them 3 to 5 like you were quoted then start complaining, I bet you it gets prepared tonight.

I did the same thing. Here is the script
Me: I want to know the approximately delivery time of iPad now?
Me: if I place an oder today
CS: It takes two business days to ship.
Me: so if I order it today, it will arrive on Wed?
CS: Correct.
Me: ok thx
Perhaps you spoke with either a "newbie" or someone overseas![]()
Just got confirmation email that my iPad 2 32GB Wi-Fi Black has been shipped Fed-Ex and is currently on the truck. According to Fed-Ex, it will arrive by March 17th.
Also ordered Black leather smart case and wireless keyboard. Both have shipped as well and expect to be delivered by Tuesday March 15.
You can cancel it up to prepared for shipment, after it hits that you can't cancel
I live in the UK and had mine ordered by a great seller off ebay who's keeping very good contact with me. He ordered it at roughly 4:15am EST 16gb Black Wifi and Gray Smartcase.
He told me the gray smartcase had shipped, but hasn't contacted me since. He said he would let me know as soon as there were any shipping updates, so i'll assume it's still "not yet shipped".
I would love to know how they are sorting through them at the factory in china. They are clearly not doing it first come, first serve. You might find that they process the payments in order, but some payments might go through fully on apples side before others - and obviously they won't ship the ipad until the payment is 100% complete, so the orders are a bit jumbled up.
Obviously supply limitations of different models is a another factor. You guys must also remember that when it says shipped, it's not immediately put on a van and is out the factory. It will say shipped and then they will all be picked up at the end of the day, or maybe two or three times a day due to the amount of orders. What i am saying is, if one of you had your order shipped 4 hours before the other, they both probably left the factory at the same time. Or maybe 'Prepared for shipping' means it is packaged ready and they are waiting for the truck to turn up to pick all the ready ipads up.
Just some theories
This is an evil game, isn't it ? there is nothing worse than something that you wan't so bad being totally outside of your control.
My 32GB black wifi was shipped today. Expected delivery date is the 17th.
Just ordered right now 64/3GATT/Black as my backup if NONE are in stores the next two weeks...
Guess what.. It says ships April 11 and Delivers by April 14TH!!!![]()
