hey dude, i just called apple about the same thing and just kept talking for about 5 minutes with them. I didnt get mad or anything i just told them that it stated i had 2 day shipping or overnight and now its standard shipping. The woman was nice about it and credited 40 dollars to my account to cover the smart cover!

That's cool that they gave you the 40 bucks, at least! :D

Well, mine is *technically* due to arrive one day earlier than promised (April 25 rather than April 26), but I sure was hoping that it would ship earlier & faster like so many others have these past couple of weeks. ;)
 
Black 64gb 3G ATT

Ordered from AAFES Online March 28th.
Vendor, Ingram Micro, received order from AAFES March 29th.
Status as of April 20th -- backorder to ship sometime in May.

Does Apple divvy up production fairly among their company stores and authorized resellers?

you would HOPE so...
Why did you go thru AAFES rather then apple?
 
Apple just upgraded the shipping estimate for iPad2 to 1-2 weeks. I hope mine comes a little sooner than expected. I'm at exactly 2 weeks today still at "not yet shipped".

I say a week then...
They told me May 3rd delivery and mine is getting delivered Friday or monday...
 
For some reason, I can't find UPS' delivery date for mine. It shipped yesterday, but there's no arrival date. I even made a UPS account to see if it would give me more info. My e mail from Apple says Monday, but UPS' description of World Wide Express makes me think it will be Friday or even tomorrow.
 
I'm hoping the same thing. I ordered mine on April 8th. Black 32, wifi only. I just saw that Apple upgraded the shipping to 1-2 weeks...i've been waiting 2 weeks. Hopefully this means ours will go out quicker?

My estimate is April 29th to ship and May 3rd for it to arrive in Florida.
 
Ordered Apr 6.

Just went to "Prepared for shipment" today. :)

Shipping date stayed at Apr 27, delivery date moved from Apr 29 to May 2. :(

I ordered on April 6th as well.

16-white-wifi

Formerly listed as Shipping on 4/27 and delivery on 5/2 (with 2 day shipping)

It just went "prepared for shipment" today, still listed as shipping on 4/27 but now due to deliver on 4/29.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it can actually be delivered in 2 days.
 
So we have had some people that said they skipped the Prepared for Shipment step all together...some who were on it for an hour and some who have been on for days. Apple really leaves us guessing, huh?

Speaking of...do they send you an email when it changes to prepared? Or just when it is actually shipped?

Mine never said that it was prepared for shipping (unless it was in between times I checked.)

Mine was scheduled to be shipped on the 22 with an ETA of 29 April, but then I received a notice on Tuesday that it had been shipped and is due here (Montreal) tomorrow!

I'm in the same situation. When I first received my tracking number (earlier today) through UPS it was scheduled to be delivered on Monday. However, there is now no delivery date on the tracking site and after seeing the committed import time, even from Asia, is 1-2 business days, it could be here this week.

Does anyone have any experience with shipping times of UPS Worldwide Express? The general shipping times on their website seem almost too good to be true...

UPS describes UPS Worldwide Express as...

Import:
Delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon
Next business day delivery from Canada and Mexico
One or two business day delivery from Europe, Asia, and Latin America​

The service code in the UPS tracking number for my (standard shipping) iPad is 55, which is indeed the code for UPS Worldwide Express.

Order date: March 29th

Finally changed to Prepared for Shipment

Product * Qty.
IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK-USA
Ships: Apr 25

I have a hard time believing it'll be delivered on May 4th much less be shipped on the 25th.


I was right! Just got Shipment notification today - I ordered March 29th. Here's my shipment info:
