IPad delivered, synched and now loving it! It was delivered a full week ahead of apple's estimates too.

Ordered: 3/12 8a PST
Orig ship date: 4/4
Prepared to ship:3/27
Shipped: 3/28
Delivered 3/31

To also note, it relaxed on Lantau island for 48hr's before there was any further movement. Fedex always had a 3/31 delivery date so it wasn't late.

Good luck to everyone!

Looks like I missed the 8am trucks that head out. Hopefully I'll make the second wave.

Are you in California? I can't remember. Mine cleared customs today, it should be on one of the two flights out of Alaska this afternoon and in my happy little hands tomorrow. Oh, I hope I don't have to pine over not having it another weekend!:eek:
 
Prepared for Shipment

I have been checking the status of my IPAD 2 that I bought on the 12th and I noticed today that my order status changed to Prepared for Shipment. Change is good and I was just wondering if this new status means that my IPAD is going to be shipped soon?

Review the thread and note the trends. It generally moves about a day or two after the "prepared to ship" notice.

I know it must be on one of these. Weather is not too bad in Memphis. Thunderstorms in my city tonight, but clear tomorrow.

iPad wi-fi 3G 64GB black (AT&T) ordered Mar 12, 2011 at 10:55 AM today FINALLY it shows as "Prepared for Shipment" and I see a pending charge on my account.

YAHOOOOOO

I hope I get a shipment notice tomorrow!!!
 
I hope mine missed a scan or some flights are delayed. Sadly it hasn't left Anchorage today after barely missing the cutoff yesterday because of customs. I'm not too worried, it's still way ahead of its original estimated time.

I ordered this specific model as well (64gb AT&T Black) and it seems like those are shipping a bit later (day or so) than other models. Anyone else noticing that trend? My order was March 16 (est. ships 4/20 deliver 4/23)and I've been stalking this thread and my Order Status page ever since

It does seem that way, and some white models are shipping ahead of the curve. Apple probably doesn't expect to sell many of the top-of-the-line models like this, so ours are in lower supply. I don't think we're way off of the norm though.

Departed FedEx location
ANCHORAGE, AK

So does this mean that mine is on Flight 94 into Memphis? FedEx expected delivery: Mar 31; Apple estimate: Mar 30. Doesn't seem possible to get to Tallahassee by tomorrow, Mar 30th???

Much to my surprise my iPad didn't waste any time in Memphis, but caught a non-stop straight to Tallahassee. So I received my 32 GB, Black Wi-Fi iPad on March 30th. Order date: 3/11/11 4:55 pm ET. Scheduled ship date: 4/1, estimated delivery date: 4/6.

I had called FedEx and asked them to hold it at the FedEx location so that I wouldn't have to come home to the dreaded door tag and wait another day to get my iPad. By the way, apparently you can't arrange for them to hold it until it reaches the U.S.A. and I could not request the hold using the computer - I had to call FedEx.

Stayed up until 2 am last night transferring programs and data from my iPhone and deciding for which of my iPhone apps I needed to buy the iPad version. Worth the wait!
