Ordered launch day at 10:01 EST. 16 GB wifi white. Got shipping notice today that it should arrive by March 29. I am looking forward to it.

I only read the last page or so of this thread, but some of the whining is ridiculous. You will get your toy soon.

Two more steps away from receiving today

 

[jawsatlanta]

I ordered mine On 3-11 about 7PM EST from Apple.com

Delivery window was 2-3 weeks, with expected shipment April 1st and delivery April 6th

I just got notification that it is shipping now and will be here on May 29th...

32 GB ATT 3G Black....

Here's the conclusion to the whole ordeal...

I almost read these whole thread while waiting for my ipad and did the traces on fedex's website as well as on the yahoo's and came to a simple conclusion.

Any ipad that apple ships from HK will take 4-5 days before you receive it. It normally sits at Lantau Island for 3 days before it ship out to US. Since Lantau Island is 12hrs ahead of EST, they have enough time to get the package via Japan or any other route to US custom entry point of Anchorage or Memphis.

YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR IPAD ON THE DAY OF FEDEX DELIVERY DATE OR DAY BEFORE.

 

[Rgladman]

Thats what happened to mine on the 22-23rd in Anchorage.
FedEx CS was unable to provide any explanation of why/what that was.
They had to trace my package and still, nothing. It later showed up in Forth Worth and nobody knew why. At least it was not lost..yet.
The CS rep stated the Ipad release had totally backed the system up. She stated their best guess on what was going on is the flights were full, so the packages were "Held at sorting" until the next available flight the next day. She also stated it seems that scan is not updating properly with correcting delivery estimates at all, hence the blank delivery dates after the package missed the original estimates. Of course, by not delaying the original estimates, the "Held at sorting" scan made tracking for customers and them worse and inaccurate. Meanwhile, the packages were continued on their way and like mine, ended up somewhere close "hopefully" to deliver ASAP. I guess routing is computer generated and it tries to finish it.

I was in the same group held in Anchorage and also arrived in Ft. Worth about midnight but no movement since then.

Has your moved since arriving?

Another Vacation???

Well, after a 2 day vacation on the island in Lantau, it finally got to Anchorage. But the good folks at FedEx seem to think that it now needs some cold weather to offset the island vacation. So, now they are holding it inside at the sort facility. Other posts have shown iPads at the same timing as mine, but they were sent on their merry way without a holdover... Mine wasn't so lucky. Hopefully, they find a plane with enough room to send it back on its way, so it gets here per the "by 4:30 Mar 25" which is tomorrow. "Here" is Lancaster, PA.

I really don't want another weekend without it, after watching its wandering journey.

I can't complain to either Apple or FedEx as so far, all the dates fit with their original email, ordered at 7:20 am ET on the 11th, shipped within 5-7 bus days - Mar 22, and delivery between Mar 25-29... they still have time... I am still hoping for the 25th...

Good luck to everyone who like me, are still waiting..............

Ft Worth

I was in the same group held in Anchorage and also arrived in Ft. Worth about midnight but no movement since then.

Has your moved since arriving?

I actually got a local store to hold me 2, so no more hurry for me. But it has not moved since Ft Worth.

 

[bobobenobi]

Ordered 64GB AT&T 3G on 3/11 at 10AM EST. Was originally told it would ship on 4/1. Shipped last night with expected delivery of 3/29.

 

[DForum45]

YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR IPAD ON THE DAY OF FEDEX DELIVERY DATE OR DAY BEFORE.

In most cases this has been true, however, there was a large group of us that had an additional delay in Alaska that actually made FedEx miss their delivery date. I'm still waiting to see if it will arrive only one day late -- hopefully not two.

Finally found in Memphis (really Indianapolis)!

I just got off the phone with FEDEX international again because no one ever called me back about the trace. They still don't know where it is, they said the same thing to me that they said to you. So now they are supposed to call me back again. WTF!!!

Without a call back, the Fedex website now shows the following:

Mar 24, 2011 8:34 AM On FedEx vehicle for delivery HAMILTON, NJ
Mar 24, 2011 8:15 AM At local FedEx facility HAMILTON, NJ
Mar 24, 2011 6:27 AM Arrived at FedEx location NEWARK, NJ

Mar 19, 2011 11:50 PM At local FedEx facility LANTAU ISLAND HK
Mar 19, 2011 3:59 PM Left FedEx origin facility SHENZHEN CN
Mar 19, 2011 2:40 PM Picked up SHENZHEN CN
Package received after FedEx cutoff
Mar 19, 2011 2:40 PM Left FedEx origin facility SHENZHEN CN
Mar 19, 2011 1:00 PM In transit LANTAU ISLAND HK
Mar 18, 2011 5:07 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx

So, lost as the shipment might have been, when it found it's way to Indianapolis it was re-scanned and magically reappeared on the grid. So if all goes well, it might actually show up today!

Mine is in Pittsburgh, don't know if it was able to get on an earlier flight. Still sitting at local FedEx though, not out for delivery yet.

 

[chekuri75]

Got shipping notice today todeliver on 29. Was in 2-3 week range, ordered Friday evening.

 

[jsf23]

Both of my iPads are sitting on a truck for delivery, right on time...

 

[mattneto]

2-3 week period for me as well, but no early shipping. I guess I cant really complain until friday when the true 2-3 week window opens.

...But seriously, it better ship soon

I too am in Jersey and thank God my order just went to PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT today. Even THAT makes me happy.

OK, now I'm even happier than my last post above... Mine wasn't even in that PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT status 1/2 a day and now it's shipped and starting that infamous vacation on Lantau Island! I ordered mine online @ 6:12am PDT (9:12am EST) on 3/11 (launch day).

I was in that same group and mine went to Ft.Worth, I'm assuming we were probably all on the same pallet, did your's also go to Ft.Worth?

There has been no movement of mine since arriving in Ft.Worth so doubtul for today since I am in the KC area. Two days late then but still in the original window Apple gave.

Ordered: 10:00 a.m. E.S.T. march 11, 2011 - prepared for shipment

Final iPad destination: Miami, FL

When I woke up this morning it was prepared for shipment (03/24/2011).
Original estimated date of Shipment: 04/01/2011 for delivery 04/08/2011.

Some useful tips:

Smart Cover shipment seems to have no bearing on when iPad will ship.

I found that when the funds are withdrawn from your bank account you have approx. 24 - 48 hours before your item goes 'PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT.'
