Mine is still "prepared for shipment"
ipad requested back by Apple? What the heck?
Hello,
I know this has nothing to do with your situation, but yesterday was supposed to be the day that I received my order for two Apple iPads, one white one and one black one. I have been awaiting the delivery for about 3 weeks now. Was notified that they were on they're way and the tracking numbers were given to me.
I have watched the progress on Fedex as they made they're way from China to Hong Kong to Memphis then Denver. "out For delivery" said the tracking info.
Then to my dismay: "Refused by Recipient". As I had someone waiting to sign for them at the house. I called Fedex. They tell me apple has requested the package be sent to the Apple warehouse. I am so mad now I am seeing red. I have waited what seems an eternity for these things. Now they are on the fedex truck in my small town, just within my reach and they are headed back to china? WHat the heck?!
I compose my self. I call my Apple rep who I placed the order with. She is so puzzled at this ordeal. Tells me she will call me back when she gets to the bottom of it (Thank you for trying to help me, by the way).
I call fedex local drop off and explain what is happening. The guy there says he will help me and try and get me some info. He calls me back and states that he has contacted the driver and asked that they deliver what they can of the packages and he agrees.
So I get one ipad, while the other sits in a fedex truck 16 feet from me. No apple care service that was originally ordered, plus I get this kryptic response from Apple about the situation.
Someone has really messed up something and Apple sure isn't letting the cat out of the bag.
Called apple last night two times to try and find out what is happening as my bank account states that i have paid for two ipads and two Apple care Packages.
This seems to me like one of those situations that Apple needs to reimburse me some of the cost of the missing iPad due to the intense frustration of the situation they have caused.
Everything just seems so hush hush. Apple rep even said she cannot explain the circumstances of what is happening, except that she knows this is not the first such scenario like this that happened on June 8th, 2011.
Any thoughts?
If a mod would like to place this a more visible area that would be great. Also any recommendations as to where I should post this for the best response would help.
Thanks
Disappointed in Wyoming.

Apple supply chain seems messed up!
Sounds like Apple is experiencing some kind of a major supply chain/quality screw up, alternatively remaining silent as to cause or blaming FedEx for errant returns (FedEx states that Apple has "recalled" shipments).
I am in the middle of the mess myself with an unfulfilled order for two generation 2 iPads (wifi and 3G for Verizon, 64 gb, engraved,) which apparently made it to the FedEx location at destination but were returned to Apple same day at Apple's request-June 8). Also looks like I've been charged for them. I seem not to be alone (see discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2778834?start=60&tstart=0). Apple customer service rep (who oddly refers to Apple as "they") doesn't seem to know what's going on.

Mine says Thursday as well, but knowing the timeline that my Smart Cover delivery took, I would think that tomorrow could potentially be viable. I guess we'll find out soon! I keep checking the tracking info too...I need to stop! I'm in So Cal so I guess our orders will take different paths from here on out!
Edit: The tracking just changed after I posted! Now it says it's departed the Fed-Ex location in Memphis.

Fingers crossed you receive it tomorrow.. Mine is due to arrive on Monday.. and the patience in me is slowly eroding.

Mine finally says departed! Looks like it's a 13 hour drive to my town. Of coursethis will be longer. I'm assuming the fedex truck stops at other places and unloads items along the way. It will probably be Thursday when I get my iPad.
