Yeah this process really stinks. I see some orders are ordered after my time yet already shipped or in process of being shipped....yet mine still shows not yet shipped. Mine is a White 64GB Att if that's whats causing the delay.
There's a lot of great info in this thread and I've managed to use a lot of it to track down my iPad.
Model: Black, 64gb, Wifi only (also purchased Smart Cover)
Date/Time: Purchase 3/11/11 at 3:42 am EST (12:42 am PST)
Shipped per Apple on 3/12/11 at 10:22 am

Based on that, I'm guessing my iPad is also on this flight and should arrive in Anchorage shortly.

Is it possibly they are just not scanning all the iPads, and mine has shipped?

Called Apple again and hat a very nice representative on the phone. Called because I never received a conformation email.
2 good things: My order is alright and he told me, that I am in the first wave of shipments. TBH I do not know, if he really has more information about the shipment process, but I feel a bit better now![]()

ordered it at 6:30am and have a quote of "5-7 business days", what are the chances that I will receive it by the 25th?

You are from Erie? Nice I go to LECOM up there
My black 32 GB AT&T 3G still has not even changed to "Prepared for shipment." I'm becoming very impatient...
Okay guys, Im outta this ****
Apple just sent me a cancellation.

I am beginning to think that there is a delay in the status updates for shipping and I think they have actually shipped.
I can't imagine people who ordered hours after are getting their stuff tomorrow and others have yet to even ship for the same model & carrier.
I see everyone referring to FedEx for the shipping, when I ordered my iPad 2 the only shipping option was Standard Shipping with no way to change it... Is FedEx considered to be the Standard Shipping?
Has anyone with a Verizon Ipad seen a "shipped"?
I ordered my 64gb ATT&T black at 12:44am PST and it's still showing not yet shipped-aarrgghh! Apple customer service is of course clueless as to why orders are shipping in what seems to be a random pattern. The poor rep just kept reading me the same order update info I've read myself 1000 times. The cover is supposed to arrive on Thursday. Oh well, just have to keep reminding myself they're still within the promised 3-5 days shipping time.
ya. mines is in Anchorage. 32gb white verizon. ordered @ 12:56 am.![]()
If your credit card hasn't been charged, your order hasn't shipped. They'll charge you at the same time your order goes into "Prepared for Shipment" status.
