Two and a half weeks for me mate! Sucks!:mad:

Where are you? I'm in New York so I don't know location has anything to do with it. But if people order them today, we will all prob get it together. I need, I want better service than that.

I'm from the UK mate. Does seem stupid! I commented on another thread some guy ordered his early this morning and has a delivery date the same as mine! To be honest this will be the last time I order from Apple directly.

Sounds like people are getting these a day early, but my estimated date still says Monday by 10:30 AM

EDIT: Also checked the time in Chengdu, China, and it's the middle of Thursday night there right now. I doubt my iPad is going to make it from there to Chicago by tomorrow morning.

Maybe UPS will surprise me tomorrow morning, but I doubt it.

I've been sitting patiently waiting for my iPad 2 for almost a month (ordered direct from Apple, right from my iPhone app), yet every Saturday morning when I take my son to gymnastics, about half the parents sitting in the lobby already have theirs. I asked a lady last weekend how she got hers so fast. Her reply? "I just went to the Apple store in Deer Park and waited in line."
 
If it does arrive today, I will be very pleasantly surprised, but I don't know if I should hold my breath. It left Mississauga, Ontario t 3:30 this morning. I'm in Montreal. Technically, it's possible, but when it gets to Montreal, doesn't it have to go to a central place to be loaded onto local trucks? If so, I can't see how today's delivery is possible.

Yeah, this is a little ridiculous. I understand that Apple needs to supply its stores with product, but when you have the customers that ordered directly from you waiting over a month to get the same product that other people drove to the store and waited a couple hours for...I think your strategy needs to be re-worked.

I ordered mine over 2 weeks ago. My girlfriend went the the store the other day, waited 2 hours and got the exact same model that I have been waiting for.

BULL!

Not really...

They dont telly you that you will get ti in less than 2 hrs when you order online, and then delay it.

You know that it is going to take 3 to 4 weeks when you order it. The why crib about it?

if you wanted it sooner, you must have been as smart as your GF to go stand in line.

Anyone get this on their UPS shipment log:

EPZ, China 04/19/2011 5:27 P.M. The service selected is not available to the destination address. / Downgraded, forwarded to consignee, selected service is not available.

What is that supposed to mean?

My Gosh.. It's probably just a simple error but that would throw me for a loop. :(

Pasta! I don't want to consider the quality of that chicken. :)
