i ordered two ipads, one 16GB wi-fi in black and one 16GB in white with blue smart covers for both. currently, the black ipad has arrived in Anchorage and both smart covers have arrived in Chicago, but the white ipad still says "yet to be shipped." odd that one has shipped and not the other, but at least the black ipad should arrive here in MN soon (fyi order was placed at 1:07 PT).
 
how long is this going to take!? -King Julian

#$%@!!! OK. I'm okay. This whole process is making me bi-polar. :eek:

how long do you think it will take to get from AK to the final destination? Im in the Bay Area. I am trying to remember how long it took the last time when I got the first iPad. STEVE PLEASE NEXT TIME let us pre-order. It's killing me that friends and family have it already but I do not.
 
My credit card has been charged but I am still in the "Not Yet Shipped" status. I ordered 3/11 2:00 am PST. Do you think this means it was actually shipped ?

Same here, card has pending charges for the ipad, ordered at 12:44 am pst on the 11th, 32GB AT&T Black. Status "not yet shipped" Smart cover has tracking number but only says "data sent to fedex".
 
very likely i would say... my original estimate from apple was 18th - 25th.. but its now with fedex for 17th..i assume your original estimate was probably 21st to 26th or something..

estimate arrival between March 21st - March 29

hoping it will be here by next week since I am leaving on the 25th at 11pm
 
Same thing happened to me, the apple rep would fall back on "well they still 2 3 more business days to ship". I then asked why were other orders at the very least prepared to ship over the weekend as well as shipped over the weekend.....their response "well I don't know". Typical.

It's not even so much that I must have it in my hands immediately. I'm just worried I'll get a cancellation notice, even though the Apple rep says my order looks clear, payment looks fine, etc. And yes I know this is an iPad, not a transfusion, like someone said, but keeping things in that kind of perspective doesn't actually ever seem to stick!

That has happened to many of us as they typically ship out in model batches (versus each individual order). My wifi iPad shipped Saturday. My 3G wifi is only prepared to ship.

At least you'll have one soon!! :)

You are from Erie? Nice I go to LECOM up there

Yeah I saw that too. I am from Meadville, a little ways south of Erie.

Yep. Bought online as soon at 3:45 am on Friday -- it was supposed to be my backup in case Upper Peach was nuts on Friday. Tried Best Buy, Target, and WalMart Friday afternoon, but the lines were ridiculous and I'm pretty sure they all sold out quickly (Best Buy easily had 75-100 people in line about 50 minutes before they went on sale). I was quite surprised for Erie and very glad I went through with the online order.

Now I just need it to get from Anchorage to Erie! :)

My black 32 GB AT&T 3G still has not even changed to "Prepared for shipment." I'm becoming very impatient...

Same here.
 
Mine was shipped friday through macmall, and the tracking finally came through today at around 1:30. This means that it was not shipped until today. There is no estimated arrival time!! i am getting so impatient! On the bright side, my wireless keyboard just came today!
 
My 64 GB black with engraving was changed from not yet shipped to prepared for shipment last evening around 8:00 EST. It has not changed since.

How long have these been sitting in the prepared for shipment status? It seems like it should take that long for it to be given a FEDEX id and put on freaking plane.

I'm so anxious to get this thing!

Note that a "pending" or "hold" on your card is not the same thing as being charged.

It's going to sit there until they have a full load .. they need to prepare mines ASAP
 
Aren't there like 200,000 people working in the Apple factory?

WORK FASTER :)

haha but that doesn't mean much-I see how people work at my place (and now I'm one of them since it's do some work, refresh Apple order status, some work, refresh...)
