Ordered two black 32gb iPads the day of the keynote as soon as the site went live. Within the last 10 minutes I went to a SHIPPED status (of course the numbers don't show up on FedEx just yet). Yessss!! Like I said, I was never worried about them arriving on time, I was only worried once I read about unexplained cancellations here this morning. I'm in the ATL, Georgia area by the way.
 
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

howd you get ahold of your fedex guy? :) just call the nearest fedex store from your shipping location?
 
Ditto here, NC as well. I think this has something to do with TN being close by.

Those of you who are still processing or preparing

If your iPad IS NOT engraved and you are still in processing or preparing for shipment 9 times out of ten your fine. Any iPad that is not engraved is already in the states and scheduled for overnight meaning you may not see anything until Thursday. Apple doesn't update anything unless it's necessary. I would call apple just to be sure for peace of mind. If your iPad IS engraved and hasn't shipped then you should be a little worried as engraved iPads ship from china. Either way a quick call could end your worries.

On a side not a damn ups rep told yesterday that my iPad would be shipped to my address today and got me all excited. I called again today and was told it is scheduled for march 16 as supposed to. Damn first rep got me all excited. Tracking shows it left Alaska on Saturday but ups told me its sitting in Kentucky waiting to move Thursday overnight to
My address
 
Received my FedEx tracking number late last night. w00t! It's in Ontario, CA and just waiting apparently.
 
Ordered a white wifi 64gb one on March 7th to Virginia. Shipping out of Middletown, PA. Just got the shipping notice. Posting this in case any other VA people are interested.

Nope. My tracking number hasn't worked since Sunday when it shipped. I haven't called, but my situation doesn't seem unusual given the postings here...

Just got my shipping notice for NC. It actually is originating out of Middletown, PA.

Picked up: MIDDLETOWN, PA
Ship date: Mar 13, 2012
Estimated delivery: Mar 16, 2012 by 3:00 PM
 
Ordered on March 7th and went from Processing to Preparing for Shipment yesterday afternoon. Anyone else who changed status yesterday get a shipped notice yet?
 
Mine (see signature) has been processing since the morning of the 7th but my AppleCare portion of the order has already been completed. Also my email confirmation didn't come until 2 days later and I'm in CA.

Mine just changed to prepared for shipment within the last hour.

Thanks! Got the same iPad and I live in VA too and checked b/c of your post and mine has finally shipped out of Middletown, PA too! I can't wait.
 
I live in NYC too. Ordered on 9th. 16gig wifi white. I'm hoping ours will ship on Thursday considering the fact that our iPads may be in PA.

I wouldn't count on it. It's pretty close by to you, no? Fedex/UPS is pretty well trained to handle something like an iPad launch...I'm sure holiday season is much worse. But of course, where there are screw ups during the holiday season, there will be screw ups here (possibly), with some iPads arriving early.

My iPad is sitting just a few miles away from where I live, but I'm not counting on getting it early. It's not like they can't handle this. Where your package is right now doesn't matter, I personally do not think it is indicative of someone receiving their package early.

ahh okay, mine shipped on sunday as well. it seems a bit unusual to me. It seems most people dont have issues with tracking.

Oops I actually meant on seeing an update on the order status. Mine still says Preparing Shipment since Saturday. :)
 
Just got a shipping notice for my White 64GB WiFi, shipping to Upstate NY from Middletown, PA.

I'll be leaving town for the weekend on Friday morning, so I'll have to wait until Sunday night to check mine out!
