Another person waiting for black WiFi 64. My order has a 1:02am timestamp. Accessories have been making progress but iPad hasn't.
 
My 64gb Black WiFi is clueless that it will be relocated...

Still sitting in a Chinese cafe eating Kung Pao chicken & sticky rice.

Someone from Apple needs to prepare the little fellow for his transfer to the good ol' US of A!
 
My 16Gb AT&T Black has finally moved to "Prepared for shipment" overnight. But then my Orange cover has said the same thing since Friday so we'll see when it actually ships. At least it's something.

This also means that I now have to stop looking at local stores since I can no longer cancel the order. So hurry up and ship it.

Order placed at 12:45 AM PST.
 
16GB Black Verizon with engraving ordered at 6:57 am eastern. Still nothing. :mad: I think engraving must have killed me. I will have a nice orange cover soon.... I really hope it ships today for Friday delivery but I am not holding my breath.
 
32 GB AT&T Black

Ordered 3/11 at 1:05am PST with the Navy Blue Leather Smart Cover. I received the Smart Cover on 3/12 (Saturday - my birthday :D) but its "crickets" on the ipad itself....still "Not Yet Shipped." Still encouraged though...as it still says 3-5 shipping days with a delivery date b/w 3/18-3/25.

Anyone else ordered the 32 GB AT&T Black and has movement?
 
Oh yeah baby! Estimated arrival the 17th! Ordered the 11th at 3:55AM EST.

Finally my 16gig AT&T 3G black has been prepared for shipping. Ordered at 1:04am pst. I'll let you know when it ships. I'm glad I've made it this far. I was getting worried last night.

got my 64gb at&t 3g black ipad shipping notification! shipped on the 14th and should arrive on the 17th. so, if all goes according to plan, ordered on friday the 11th, shipped on monday the 14th and will arrive on thursday the 17th. well done, apple. well done.

What time and date did you order yours? Man this is making me mad.....

Apple really screwed up this entire roll-out! Running out of stock in the stores, no PRE-orders, no store reservations.... All to make it difficult to buy in thie first few days and generate the longest lines and publicity for apple.... And then to screw people who clearly ordered before others and have the folks who bought LATER get theirs first! Sucks. Thanks, apple.

Apple says 21st, Fedex 18th.

For pre-orders, FedEx may hold if Apple wants. Remember the iPhone4 rollout? I got mine a day before the scheduled release.

But this isn't a pre-order, though......
 
I have to say what Apple is doing here total B.S.

What is up with folk order AFTER other folks but getting theirs shipped already or even prepared for shipment?

I ordered at 1:11AM PT March 11 and my AT&T 64GB Black still is not prepared.

Getting real ticked off at apple.
did you opt to get it Engraved? This is the main reason most are getting orders shipped earlier than others.

No, that's what's got me hot under the colar! No engraving, nothing. But others that ordered AFTER are getting their first.

FedEx only holds when the product hasn't been released. They've been specifically notified not to delivery product until that date. However dates don't apply to products already released. And, it costs more for FedEx to hold off delivery. They only do so when client (apple, before relase date) demands it.
 
Placed order for 64GB-Black-AT&T, 12:42 PST on the 11th, shipped on 14th, due on the 18th. Got this notice at 4:25 PST.

Be patient people, Apple's order system is under huge load, I bet your iPad is in transit and you don't even know it....relax, go back to sleep, eat a peach, go for a run, hike, ski, all the things you used to do before your whole world became these devices.....eye-contact, not i-Contact.....remember?

I am most excited to pick my wife up from the airport in a few hours, I miss her and she is far better than the iPad I bought her...:)

If only peaches were in season here....
 
What the F dude. My 64GB white WiFi unit has been 'prepared to ship' since early Saturday with no updates since... I'm hoping it suddenly appears on the radar in Alaska or somewhere, anywhere but China. I leave for vacation the afternoon of the 18th and its looking like my iPad will not be making the trip with me...

This is how I'm starting to feel.
