Mine has been shipped with Syncreon, who I have never heard of. I don't recall ever seeing a van with that name on before, either. It's always been UPS in the past.

Have often had parts from UK Apple store in packages with sender stated as Syncreon. Wasn't the courier.
 
Mine just updated to ‘Preparing for shipment’. :)

iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G 64GB - White (3rd generation)
Ordered at 11:00am on the 8th. London bound.
 
Mine has shipped too, expected delivery date 16th..
Hope it gets here earlier, gonna be my first iPad :)
 
Mine's saying 'payment action required.'

I pre-ordered an iPad early on the 8th March, then I canceled it and ordered it again about 11 O'clock on the same day.

The £399's still on hold from the first order though.

Anyone know how long it'll take for the money to clear and for Apple to be able to take the payment?

I know I've got a pretty slim chance of actually getting the iPad by the 16th, although it still says 'delivers on March 16th'.
 
Shipping notice too!

64gb Wifi+4G Black to Birmingham, by Synchreon (whoever they are!).
 
Checking the status of my order, my black iPad (32 GB Wifi) is in the following process: Preparing for Shipment.

Smart cover (black) is going to be delivered on March 13, 2012.

Got my shipped email. Delivering through UPS. However the tracking code Apple have given me is only 10 digits long, and when I track it with the UPS website it says:

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Anyone else having a similar experience?

Got my shipping notice this morning! Ordered a 32GB black wifi model on the 8th March at 8:30am.
It's getting delivered by TNT if that's of interest to anyone.

My iPad 4G 64GB white is prepping for shipment :D i figured its not been shipped out immediately like some of the others since i got a few things with it like an av adapter, smart cover, and apple care. cant wait! :D
 
Mine shipped too. Black 32GB wifi, no accessories, ordered at 0:34 on the morning of the 8th. Being shipped by TNT to a work address in the City of London.

Wonder how couriers are assigned. I know of one business in the UK that when shipping puts each and every deliver out to tender to all the parcel delivery companies and pick the cheapest on an order by order basis. Therefore
I wonder if TNT get all the central London packages?!
 
Mine has Shipped too!!

Location: Hampshire
Status: Shipped
Order placed: 12.30am Thu 8th
Delivers: March 16
Order: Black 64GB wifi
Carrier: Syncreon
Accessories: No

I used the tracking and sales order number on the Syncreon Website, and the last action shown was at 10:12pm last night, with the location being Hinckley, UK! I know it's highly unlikely it will arrive early, but you never know!!

Mine is at Hinckley too :)
 
White wifi iPad 64Gb shipped via UPS. I'm located in Bedfordshire.
Feel sorry for the guys who's iPads deliveries are being pushed back. Didnt order mine until 8.30am on the 8th and was gonna wait a few days to think it over. so glad I didn't.

May consider a 3 MiFi in the future. Anyone got any experience of using one with an iPad and whether they opted for contract or PAYG?
 
Mine shipped at around half five this morning.

Syncreon, too. They delivered my MBP, I waited till around 6pm that day, hopefully it was just a one-off.
 
Shipped, ordered at 0040 on the 8th. Funnily enough I also got a text from Apple on my phone saying "delivery on or before 16th". May get it a day early like the iPad1, who knows!

I'm also Syncreon, never heard of them. How late in the day they deliver is surely just a matter of where you appear on their route?

I bought one to use with my first gen iPad, works perfectly well. I had the PAYG option as only used it occasionally. The only downside for me with that the battery only lasted three hours. I'm sure the newer models will have greater battery life though. Planning on using it with my new iPad too :)
 
Just had a text from Applestore, as well as the email earlier.

"Shipment W********* has been dispatched.Expect delivery on or before 16-03-2012.Track your order at http://store.apple.com/uk/orderstatus"

On or BEFORE 16-03?
I guess that it's a standard message and it actually means ON 16-03!?

Yeah, I got same. When I preordered the ipad 1 I got that a day early, on the Thursday. I remember watching the news on the Friday, iPad in hand, and seeing all the insane queues and thinking BWAHAha!
