IPAD WI-FI 3G 32GB BLACK
Ordered 4/4
Still holding with initial delivery notes:
Ships: Apr 25 / Delivers Apr 26 by Standard Shipping

My latest work trip has me leaving the morning on the 26th. Argh. Fingers crossed this iPad decides to be delivered just one day earlier! Unlikely but man, sure would be nice...
 
They shipped me an iPhone direct one time and it got from Hong Kong to my front door in 2 business days.

My iPad is in prepared for shipping status, but I wonder when they'll actually ship it and how long it will take to get here. How long have you guys been typically seeing things sit in prepared for shipping but not move anywhere? I would LOVE to get this thing before Easter weekend, but I'm having doubts.

I expect it to sit there until April 21st, Apple doesn't like to surprise their consumers with an earlier delivery than the expect date =S
 
YEA just went prepared for shipment!!!!! I was about to cry foul because I got an alert from the CC co that the charge had been made, but the status didnt change.

It changed 90 seconds later :)

We went over to where the Ipad 2's were and of course my son which will be 3 next month was just facinated with it so my mom was asking all kinds of questions about what it is what it does and then finally asked us if we wanted her to get it for him for his birthday. of course im gonna say yes so......

Which vendor is used by the Apple Online Store for shipping the Apple iPad 2 -- FedEx, UPS, or USPS? My location is FL and sometimes VA.

I woulda put a hold on it if it was my ipad, it's only my cover. My ipad isn't even prepped yet for shipment. NO CLUE why mine is taking so long. I don't even check anymore.. lol

Maybe the size of your order has something to do with priority.

I ordered a BUNCH of other stuff at the same time on the 27th, and it was actually closer to the 26th ....it was 2 am on the 27th....

Im in the middle east, so that is in the middle of the day for me.

It will still be some time before I ever see it, it has to go all the way around the world.

China to the APO shipper in PA then from PA all the way back around the world to the middle east.... LONG trip,
 
I was once told that all FedEx shipments pass through their main depot... true? I dunno.
 
16GB Black AT&T model ordered 3/26 finally showing "Prepared for Shipment".

Now if I can just luck into some of that freaky-fast shipping times some others have experienced.

Just checked my order. Placed on March 26. Verizon 16gb White just showed up as a "pending" charge on my credit card. Hoping it goes to shipping and moves quick...it's a birthday gift for mom and I'm flying out to see her on Monday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

I ordered a white 32g wifi on 4/7
Est shipping 4/28
Set delivery 4/29
I called apple and they gave me express shipping so I might get it a few day earlier. Status is Still not yet shipped. That's ok. I like the waiting. I don't know about anyone else but as it seems we'll all be here until that damn thing shows up at our house. Am I right guys???

It's one item.
I called UPS, KY is their customs inspection point, not Anchorage like FedEx is.

Just how it is.

Well I'll have my cover on Friday, still no word on my iPad.

Yoohoo....just got a alert from my CC that apple has charged me. Expecting shipping notice soon....

And now prepared for shipment... yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. But the delivery date switched from Apt 26 to Apr 28.

How many days does it take to move from "prepared for shipment" to get the actual shipping tracking number?
