anybody else order on launch day still with "preparing for shipment"
white 64 wifi only
kind of nervous now that ppl's orders are getting cancelled randomly

btw, i only ordered 1 :confused:

I had the same order and mine is in preparing for shipment as well and has been since Thursday afternoon. I am getting worried as well because my credit card has not been charges either.
 
My Black 64GB VZW LTE model that I ordered on Saturday shipped this morning...and says it's going to be delivered tomorrow.

I'll literally piss my pants with excitement if this happens.

Yeah, well mine says it's being delivered today at 4:30 PM...I don't think that's going to happen.

All I believe that one digit is inadequate for the week of the year (are we talking fiscal or calendar?) when restricted to numbers and A-Z. Unless you have a more reliable source the 5th digit could just as easily be the week of the quarter.

I already supplied a reliable source that has been around for the last several years.


On the other hand I honestly don't give a chit if you believe it or not. <shrug>

Just got the case, and the FedEx guy told me this was his route T-Sa and that he usually is here around 10-12. I wonder how many other people are "grilling" their FedEx people today for general time information for Friday :D

If mine comes FedEx, it's anybody's guess as to what time of day it will arrive. If it's UPS, it should be here before noon. We have a set delivery/pickup schedule. Morning delivery, late afternoon pickup.
 
just in update

order on launch date ~6pm est
64 gb white wifi, no engrave

just got shipment notification today :D
 
iPad Shipping

My iPad just shipped order 64gb white wi-fi on Wed at 3:43pm.
Now getting excited!
 
so when the 16th rolls around and we finally have them should we let them charge before usage or let whatever battery is left drain then charge
 
Okay, I'm trying to understand why people are upset their iPads are ready for delivery but won't be delivered until the LAUNCH DATE which was very specifically spelled out at the product introduction last Wednesday? I was just happy to get a chance to pre-order this time and avoid the hassles of standing in line or trying to order online after the launch. I'm following the tracking updates just like everyone else but don't understand the impatience as we were always promised delivery on the 16th, launch day, and that is exactly what we're receiving? :confused: Wait to complain until you don't receive your device when promised.:) Seems like a case of Apple being d___ed if they do, d___ed if they don't. :rolleyes: I'm hoping my new iPad lives up to the hype I've created in my mind but suspect I may be underwhelmed as I was when I just HAD to upgrade from iPhone 4 to 4s, although it took a few days for the post-cognitive dissonance to set in...

Cheers to those who happen to receive theirs a day early - we will all get to live vicariously through you!
 
My debit card was charged today for the iPad purchase. I'm taking that as a good sign that maybe it will soon be enroute.

Fedex is still saying picked up in Nashville--hope it changes to "In Transit" soon!

64GB Black Verizon--delivery Minnesota March 16 by 3:00 pm
 
My credit card had a Pending/ Pre-Authorization hold, which has now disappeared. The status still says Preparing for Shipment though with a 3/16 delivery date. :confused:

Same for me. Been charged FedEx says picked up in Nashville.
 
Louisville, KY - United States - 03/11/2012 - 11:26 A.M. - Arrival Scan

that's what its been saying for me the last few days. i was hoping I'd get mine a day early, haha, but not holding my breath. :D
 
The temporary authorization has been removed from credit card now as well. Maybe this is done right before the shipping notice is sent out as the amount is now being fully processed to the credit card?
 
Wouldn't it also say "Out for Delivery" if it was being delivered today?

Yes like this one.

However to set the record straight, this is for my iPad Cover I ordered from Apple which was suppose to come on the 16th to the 20th time frame and is on the Fed-Ex truck now for Delivery. I only wish it was the iPad and not the iPad Cover.

Waiting...

My 64 gb LTE (Verizon) has been sitting in Ontario, CA since Sunday with an estimated Friday (3/16) delivery (Future Delivery Requested). I just happen to be on vacation and about an hour away from Ontario--if only FedEx would let me come pick it up today!!

Ditto here, NC as well. I think this has something to do with TN being close by.
