How long do they usually stay in "Prepared for Shipment" status before Fedex gets it? Mine's been in that status for almost 24 hours now. :(
 
I ordered on March 11th at 2:54 PM PDT. My shipping notice email arrived this morning at 10:30 AM EDT. More info in sig below.
 
So mine left twice. What do you make of this?

Yeah same here. I know CHEP LAP KOK is the HK airport. When my smart cover shipped it had the same status before arriving in the US.

It means you will be on flight 158, when it departs.. I'm right there with you. It will be an iPad heavy load...

Ok so what time EST will the flight leave and what time will it land EST? I'm confused with all the time zones

I mean it says Depart 7:15pm HKT on 3/28 So I'm assuming that it departed about 6 hours ago and it's supposed to arrive in Alaska on 3/28 at 12:28 PM?

So converting that to EST then it left HK at 7:15am EST on 3/28 and it'll arrive at Alaska at around 4pm EST, which hopefully it'll be able to clear customs by the end of the day and head to Memphis (I assume) tonight and then to it's final sort facility for delivery tomorrow?

That's my thought process. Should hit Memphis tonight.
 
My iPad is doing the same thing my hdmi cable did. It got to Tulsa Sunday evening and is sitting there until early Tuesday morning. Won't get mine until tomorrow.
 
Delivered this morning! Ran home at lunch and got it off of the porch. :)

The estimated delivery was for 3/30, but it's gonna be a couple of days early.

:mad:Nothing yet!!!
ordered mine from verizon on 3/12 no tracking # nada!
did get a $35 credit from them so far on my account though...

prob to cover the activation fee they'll charge you later! Ordering from Verizon or AT&T has been a Cluster from all the threads on non-shipments I've read. Good luck
 
My 16GB AT&T White iPad 2 ordered March 12 @ 7 PM PDT has been canceled (by me.) I bought the exact same model at the Atlanta Lenox Square Apple Store this very good morning. So, someone else will be moving one place closer to delivery.

I've played around with it for a couple of hours and I have to say, I absolutely LOVE it. No dead pixels, backlight bleed, etc. It is updating to 4.3.1 right now--taking forever. Hopefully, you all will get your new iPads much sooner than you expect. I know your really going to be quite happy with them. Thanks for keeping me entertained these past two weeks.
