Got my iPad last night but the cover (which I ordered at the same time) is due next week, now how does that make sense? I have to go and buy a cover now so I can take it out with me.
 
Still "not yet shipped" on mine. :( And I even ordered before the 1am official start time.

thats a really stupid thing to say.

Try being very careful with the ipad for the first week until the iPad cover arrives.... not like the cover will protect it much anyways. the cover protect the screen ...which is glass ...which is quite scratch resistant in the first place

I received my cover on Saturday, iPad tomorrow. Go figure.
 
12:55 am Friday - placed order for two iPad2's with 64GB memory and WiFi + AT&T 3G. On truck today for delivery! Was quoted 3 -5 business days to ship, original ETA was for Friday 3/18 delivery, happy to say the FedEx planes had a tail wind from China to Alaska to California to where I live, Oregon. The smart covers arrived yesterday.

I ordered the same config (assuming you ordered black) nearly twenty minutes earlier than you (12:37am PST), but haven't even got a tracking number yet. I really wonder how Apple are prioritizing orders.
 
My 16GB WiFi just shipped this morning and won't arrive until next Tuesday. Total bummer!

same here, but idk how fed ex works but the people that have received it by now received them within 4 days of it being sipped, to further states that CA, im in cali and it is said to be delivered on the 22nd. hope they deliver it early, but i can wait :rolleyes:
 
Mine has been at the local Fed Ex facility since 2am. No delivery today. Tomorrow the parade might interfere with Fed Ex getting to my building.

I cannot live like this.
 
sorry for triple post. feel free to merge these:
i feel terrible for you, I cant even describe what my emotions would be if i opened my new iPad 2 to find it like that. In fact I am not even sure how i would react, I just know things would get messy

Oh no no no, that's from my twitter stream that's not me!!!

Mine is actually waiting for me. I assume it's in one piece.

How about going to the FedEx facility and picking it up in person? I know that UPS allows that if you call them up and let them know you're coming.

what time was the online order on opening day?

Where these orders opening day at 1am-11:59am?
I ordered opening day 3pm, but only expecting shipment April 7th via Fedex update.
Live in N. Ca.
 

I had a similar experience when I bought a euphonium off of eBay. The guy said it was a new one. When I got it, there was a big dent in the bell. The weird thing about it was that the case it came in was perfectly fine, so it was dented BEFORE it went in the case. But the worst part of it all was when I contacted the seller about it, he was like "Oops, sorry. I'll try to pack it better next time." Nothing about giving me a new one or whatever.
 
I ordered my Black 32Gb WiFi at 4:07am EST and it shipped on the 13th, arrived today at Noon in Detroit Michigan. It's dope.

FedEx definitely allows this, but you need to make sure they hold it at the facility for you instead of putting it on the truck. I've picked up Macs from the depot before.
 
Got my BSE skin for it today.

So I ordered mine on Mar 11, 2011 at 12:51 AM PDT, and the status still shows "Not yet shipped"....This is incredibility frustrating.....

I ordered 1 black 3G 32GB, andd 1 white 3G 32GB (both At&t models). Do you think the model would affect the shipment? I seriously don't know how Apple prioritize their shipments.. should be based on how early orders are placed.. :mad:

Remember that AT&T, as well as retail outlets like Apple Store, Best Buys, etc. got 3G models for launch day. Where as AT&T didn't get the WiFi only models to sell online. So it just maybe that Apple can't ship the AT&T 3G from online orders as fast because they are spread around to more distribution points.
 
nope

mine arrived yesterday, but I wasn't here to sign for it. I had put the signature release form out, but apparently it must have blown away or something. So, waiting with the door tag for another arrival today.

Is there any downside to doing a restore from backup from a previous model?

I considered that. But I can't get away from work long enough for that until Friday, which is when it will probably be delivered anyway. :rolleyes:
 
My dad (78) woke up at 4.30AM on Friday to use the bathroom. He then figured he would order the iPad while he was up. It just arrived today in MD! Good move, pops!!
