Ordered a black 32GB 3G (AT&T) on 3/22 and got my shipping notification on 4/14 (Apple's original shipping est was 4/26). It is currently in Anchorage.

Ordered a red Smartcover at the same time and it arrived on Fri (4/15). FedEx's original estimated delivery date was 4/19 so it arrived 4 days early. Looks like both are taking the same route through AK so hopefully my iPad will arrive early as well!
 
Ordered March 27th... strange the engraved one has been "prepared for shipment" since this morning but the "normal" one isn't.

Wow, really? I ordered mine on March 26th and yet mine has neglected to move towards shipment. I have also called Apple to ask about the upgraded shipping but they deny that others have been upgraded automatically.

That may be but mine has moved at a very fast pace for standard shipping if they haven't upgraded it. It was picked up by Fedex in Shenzen to passed custom's in Anchorage in a day:

nice. just be careful because sometimes they hold it either in anchorage or another location for a couple of days so that it matches your estimated delivery date. my smart cover was held in ak for 3 days after it said released for delivery just so it wouldn't come too early.

I'll try not to get my hopes up but even if they make the quoted day it'll be a week earlier than the original date. Not to mention they tossed in a free dock and keyboard for mixing up the payment method. I have no reason to complain. :)
 
Did you end up in Anchorage? I thought mine was headed to Memphis but it's landed in Anchorage. Unless it gets stuck in customs I think it's likely to be delivered before the Wednesday delivery date Fedex is giving.


Yup, i'm in Alaska now. Hopefully it gets to the mainland soon :)

While I know it's Sunday over there (not for much longer though), I find it odd they insist on sticking to the original ship schedule and never moved it up. Then again, it may ship tomorrow.

Seriously??? Are you in US?

There are people who ordered in march and their ipads have not shipped yet.
What variation did you order?
I ordered mine on Apr 3 rd. Still has not shipped.

yes i am in the US and i ordered a 32GB AT&T model
the same as i already have.
 
Silly question: does Apple's preferring shipping service (International Economy Distribution) deliver on Mondays? I'm reading online that the service days are M-F, but I've always been accustomed to FedEx not shipping on Mondays.
 
Just ordered my first iPad on Friday. Apple gives a 2-3 week time frame before it ships. Is this pretty accurate or are they just quoting the worst possible scenario?

I'm all excited!

Thanks

Mike
 
My iPad is moving along at a really fast pace still. It's scheduled for Wednesday delivery but as far as I can see there is a good chance of delivery tomorrow. There seemed to be a delay in updating tracking so I never saw that it went to Memphis until it had already left there. Should be going to either Orlando or Ft. Lauderdale now.

Mine just left Memphis too. Mine's a canadian order so it should be headed to their sorting facility in Mississauga before heading towards Toronto. Seems like I might get it tomorrow or tuesday. :D
 
I am not sure that I am reading this right, because I ordered mine yesterday, and the shipping status says the following:

Your item was accepted at 12:23 pm on April 17, 2011 in FORT WORTH, TX 76161

Does that mean that my item is shipping from Fort Worth? If so, I would be getting mine withing like 3 days of ordering...
 
Anybody else who ordered 3/26 who is still waiting for a PFS notice? Seems like lots of people who ordered after that date have theirs on the way.

Apr 25 is fast approaching - only one week away so it doesn't look like mine is going to be early :(
