Mine surprised and and never hit Memphis, it went to Indianapolis instead, and since it only took an hour to get to Romulus (Where the Detroit area airport is) I have to assume it flew there.

Yeah! She is half an hour from me, but FedEx still says est delivery is the 17th.

I wanted it held at the facility, wonder if I can pick it up today.
 
My 64GB AT&T 3G still has not shipped, or even changed status. I am very frustrated with Apple right now. :(

Anybody here familiar with Fedex flights know what flight goes from Narita Japan? My status says Left Ramp - Narita. Wonder where it's on-route to?

IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK

not yet shipped

but hey, my covers should be here on thursday :)
 
I'm also in SoCal and I think our shipping status may not be as up to date as they show.

Mine still shows as "Intl Shipment Release" at 3:50PM. It had to have made a flight out at some point today. I had a similar issue with my iPhone 4 delivery. My delivery status said the phone was still in Alaska, yet I was in LA signing for the delivery. FedEx's systems are not as advanced as UPS in the tracking department. I think anyone in SoCal who had their iPad shipped out with the first wave will receive them at some point tomorrow.

I had a book shipped to me from India once and he fed ex tracking was all wrong.

Also, in cali you guys probably went on a different flight, since it seems like it is pretty much FedEx ground only from your nearest fedex airport.
 
No Free Lunch

Nope. If ytou went into a local store, you would pay $499 as well. The shipping is indeed free.

Well the product was shipped to the local store right? I mean it wasn't teleported there. I think the posters point was that shipping cost is figured into the overall cost of the product. Both at retail and home delivery.

Anyone else stuck in Alaska? I was certain that I'd wake up and see it in Memphis, like a lot of people saw around midnight.

Me too. One stranded in AK. One stranded in China.

I was hoping for some type of progress. I ordered 1 am PDT.

According to fedex
my ipad went from Indianapolis to Greer, South Carolina in just 15 minutes !? It is being delivered to Greenville, not to far away !!
 
Moment of truth. This could either make my day awesome, or really crappy. GUHHHH

I am about to refresh my FedEx shipping info. I'm hoping it made it on one of the two flights last night, as it has been sitting in Hong Kong since early yesterday morning.

LISTEN IPAD, EITHER TAKE ME WITH YOU TO ALL THESE COOL PLACES OR QUIT MOVIN AROUND AND JUST COME HOME!

ps- Apple is now at 4-5 weeks for shipping. I guess in the grand scheme I'm pretty lucky!
 
Does anyone know the reason for the holdup?

I am also waiting for my Black 64MB AT&T iPad to show that it has shipped. Seems that I am not the only one.

Is there an issue with the AT&T iPads that is causing this delay?

At least I will be able to hang my smart cover on the refrigerator until my iPad arrives. :)

Same here! Apple has completely screwed this up!

I called apple and all I got was the corporate line.... We still have between 3-5 business days to ship. I was all but called a liar when I said that many, many, many people who,had placed their orders AFTER I had, were due to actually RECEIVE theirs today or tomorrow.

Apple SUCKS. This whole clusterf**k because they wanted to generate a bunch of publicity with long lines at stores and make this huge demand to make people scared to buy Xoom.

Jerks.
 
Still Waiting...

I ordered my 32GB Black ATT model at 1:03 Pacific and it still says "Not Yet Shipped".

I should have just gone to the store and wasted a few hours.
 
Mine is still in HK.... 2 days now. Grrrrrrr..... come on apple... you are really testing my patience ... :-(

Verizon has the same delay....
 
I am wondering if our iPads are really stuck in Alaska or are they really moving?

I know I have had this happen a few times (specifically for Fedex) where the product did, in fact, move but was not yet reflected in their systems so I'm hoping that is the case here. If so, we should see an update in 2 hours.
