Apple like to ship everything on an order together meaning the slowest holds everything up. It's usually best to place multiple orders

That's just torture. Maybe it varies depending on the route/depot. I'm on a huge industrial estate (one of the biggest in the UK and Europe) so maybe that has something to do with it. Saying that mine will come at 5pm now!!
Here's something for you guys to chew over whilst we wait for our iPads; the Guardian have posted their review!

Update from Apple re: Syncreon
I have just spoken to Apple customer services. Although the Syncreon tracking is saying Out For Delivery today, this means delivery to the UK Mail Service.
Apple kindly gave me the tracking number for UK Mail, and this shows the delivery date of 16th March.
It would be much better if the Apple Tracking showed the correct information mine is still showing delivery on 13th.
But - we always forgive the Big A.

When I press "Track shipment" through the Apple website I get the Syncreon Parcel Delivery thing. When I put the tracking number into the UK Mail website it wasn't working yesterday but it is now. It says status "collected" and expected delivery date 16/03/2012. It's on it's way!!
"The new iPad with its high definition screen: Apples resolution has improved from 720p to 1080p."
Ha, an inspiring start to a piece, tsk!
Like most of you, I've been checking the syncreon tracking lots, and when I just looked a moment ago, it had changed to "out for delivery". Can that be real? Would it really come today?
Someone else in my house is getting one as well, and hers also says out for delivery.
We're in Bristol, but it still said it was in Hinckley when it went out for delivery at 7 this morning.
I was expecting to come here and see lots of you also with the same thing, but no one's mentioning it. Everyone check your tracking!

I made two separate orders (64GB WiFi + 3G, 32GB WiFi) and one is with Syncreon/UKMail (3G one), the other with TNT. Both being delivered to my house.
You should maybe read some of the thread. Everyone is mentioning it. It is not coming today. It is being collected by UK Mail who will deliver it tomorrow.
Did you even read another post on this thread before posting this? Jesus, ****. In case you couldn't tell, no - you will not get your iPad today. Syncreon are not the final-mile courier, they are delivering the the person who delivers to you.

Nope, mine's with TNT & it's coming to my house (hopefully....:roll eyes
Thanks guys
Well in other news my Good Beer Guide Belgium book is on the way from Sainsburys
I can't track that one though.
I just got a notification that my Apple TV has been shipped too. That's with Syncreon (UK Mail) whereas my iPad is with TNT. Very exciting!
Ups!
Hi, i was in the same boat as you but found a way to get it to work on UPS.
1. Go to the UPS uk site and click on tracking on the navbar.
2. Click on "Track by Reference".
3. Select shipment type as "Package"
4. The Shipment Reference is the apple order number, looks something like this "W#########", enter that into the space provided.
5. You don't need to enter anymore info, only these two, leave the dates as they are, dont put in postcode or anything else.
6. Click "Track"
7. Success! - If it still doesnt work, it hasnt been added to the system yet, and just be patient.
