Please tell me when you receive your confirmation email. I'd like to know how long it takes since you ordered just an hour before me

I received my confirmation email approximately 3 hours after ordering.

This is what it says on the Apple site now... with the link...

Good news. Is this for apple stores worldwide?

I just posted this in another thread.

Several reasons:

1. I live in an apartment complex with an unattended lobby, and I don't want people stealing a $500 iPad since I won't be home to sign for it.
2. I will be working and won't be able to be at home all day to sign for it.
3. I can go and pick it up at my own convenience at the 24 hour Fifth Avenue store.

thats an easy fix. just have it delivered to your work address.

Not sure why people are picking up in store. You're still going to be standing in a line for hours hooping you can get one.

A. Packages being shipped to Apple stores I'm SURE are packaged and transported more safely than home delivery packages from joe shmoe UPS guy.

B. if you pre-order online and pay for it you will have it available for personal pickup on the 16th. I've done personal pickups a few times now and it's quick and easy to walk into the store and they scan it out and has my name on it, I show ID, and I leave. Yes there will be a line for personal pickups, but you've already paid for it. They ship YOUR iPad to the store.

Sorry, I got the same thing, I just forgot what it said, I imagine it means one is being put aside for your order.

Here's a simply alternative. Just call FEDEX and have it held at their location for pickup. You don't have to have it delivered to your home if you won't be there. I do this all time. Call 1800-Go-Fedex, with Trk#, hit 0, tell representative you want this pkg held at location for pickup. problem solved, no crowd.

Yes mine came about 20 minuts later via eamil. Some are saying it could be hours before it came. You can also check your creadit.debit card to see if Apple has charged it

B/C you have to sign for it and some people can't waste a day sitting at home or in line. This way you know you have it waiting for you at the Apple Store & can p/u after work w/o having to rush over.

Just ordered my ipad online for in store pick up at the carousel mall in syracuse. It really wouldn't make sense that it would be first come first serve when I've already paid for it. About 5 minutes after ordering I received an email stating that they are preparing my order. First time pre ordering or waiting in line at the apple store so I hope it goes somewhat smoothly
