I feel like this comment is automatically added by a bot or something the moment a new article is posted.

Agreed. I am tired of seeing that ridiculous comment. This isn't CNN, its a Mac enthusiast site. Its pertinent as people are waiting to see these new products.

Right...you "got a call" from FedEx.

Yes, they probably did. The vendor can tell Fedex to send a robot call to the recipient to make sure they are home to sign for it. I've gotten Fedex calls when ordering from B&H Photo.

Wooot! Mine's coming today too. Should help make the wait for the iPad easier tonight. lol.

Mine also shows as out for delivery today. =) Considering it didn't get shipped out until Wednesday, that's pretty good.

This is great news for consumers.

FedEx calls you if you have packages held at their Kinkos or shipping facilities when they're ready for pickup. They also called me right after I requested the redirect.

[nwcs]

Yeah, mine is supposed to be delivered today but I won't be there so it'll just come back tomorrow with my iPad.

 

[WannaGoMac]

Sigh if they added apps I would love to have purchased this to replace my HTPC

 

[G5isAlive]

Mine too is on the truck this morning for delivery. I called and woke up son to be sure and watch for it. Just in case I put out signed delivery letters for it and the IPad this morning. hey a guy can hope right? But alas, even though my iPad has started moving, its currently holed up in Newark NJ. No doubt will come to Boston tonight.

I imagine tomorrow there will be a LOT of people acting like its Christmas.

 

[TroyBoy30]

mine just showed up!

 

[AppleWarMachine]

FedEx should just deliver my iPad today along with my Apple TV.

 

[WoodNUFC]

Mine is on the truck for delivery! Today is going to be great. New ATV this morning, my first brand new car is getting picked up tonight, and mother-in-law's iPad preorder will be here tomorrow.


Edit: It has been delivered to my workplace, now I just have to wait for them to sort through the deliveries!

 

[CrAkD]

Mine is out for delivery. No ones homes tho so I'll prob have to go get it at fedex tonight. Which will workout since I want to go get a bluray drive anyway. Unfortunately I couldn't make the girlfriend take today and tomorrow off to wait for packages and obviously the iPad won haha.

 

[finalcut]

damn, mine is still @ Anchorage, AK since March 10th!! Does anyone know if this is a UPS warehouse or Apple? Mine is supposed to get engraving. That might be the reason why my device is still over there.

nb.: shipping to canada

 

[dagger01]

Grrr

My pre-order iPad hasn't moved from Middleton, PA since Saturday and folks are receiving AppleTVs early? Grrrr I don't understand why an announced product that's less than six hours away by car isn't being delivered! I could see if it were still on its way from China, but it's here and they're not delivering! WTF?

 

[iNtrigued]

Apple TV arriving today......

Theoretically. According to FedEx it delivers today March 15 but does. It show it is riding on the truck. Hopefully that status will change later on. I mean it's only 3 hours away. We'll see what happens.

 

[cxny]

Mine's at Newark Airport. Yuk, I can't believe it had to go through that. Home sweet home tomorrow.

 

[Dionte]

Mine is to be delivered today. Good thing I checked this morning, I left a note to leave it at the office.

A Day Early

On the FedEx vehicle for delivery in Brooklyn... Nice. But iPad is still somewhere in Kentucky? Great. Hope UPS gets that on a truck to NYC soon.

 

[Sardonick007]

On the truck

My ATV is on the truck a day early, out for delivery. Wish the iPad was too but it's still being held till tomorrow dang it.

 

[MarcKerr]

Just got it

It just showed up and it's a little black box just like they said it was. I'm at work now without an HDMI cable so I can't turn it on to see anything yet.

 

[rshanahan]

I am Sad, no iPad today

Mine left Harrisburg last night and is now 'farther away' sitting in Newark, NJ. I'm in north MD (handled by Newark, DE fedex). Guess the Harrisburg staff is playing nice with Apple.

 

[Macman45]

I wouldn't have given this a second thought had it not been for tracking my new iPad and ATV a minute ago....It was listed as " Out For Delivery" Then wound up back in the depot...Somebody must have jumped the gun...And I'm in the UK

At least I know it will come in the morning!

"puppy"? And WTF are you going to do with it at work?

I would imagine he is simply having it delivered to the office he works at, so he doesn't have to either miss the delivery or pre-sign and have it sitting at his doorstep for hours (and could potentially be stolen).

I generally have most of my electronics delivered to the office where I work, especially more expensive items. I didn't for my Apple TV, though, but my wife is at home and will be there to receive it.

A side note: I had an iPad Camera Connection kit from Apple delivered to my home, which is about $30, and my wife had to sign for it. I didn't realize they had you sign for all items, even the inexpensive ones. I guess that's a good policy.
