This is a mess as usual. I'm not really surprised, but I didn't want to stand in line. It's looking inevitable.
Bollocks.
Bollocks.
Why not save all that energy and wait in line a few hours next Friday?
No chance that it will be delayed during shipment or that they'll push shipping dates back a few weeks or you'll be shipped the wrong iPad or that the couriers will sabotage your package...
You already look a fool constantly hitting refresh; might as well set your pride aside and stand outside for a few hours.

I was refreshing the app on my phone every few seconds until it went live. Was able to order a 64GB Black Wi-Fi only model. It took like 10 minutes to do the entire process because each screen was loading real slow but it did go through. I got a confirmation email and I have a delivery date of 3/16 
My credit card account also shows that I now have over $760 less available credit so all seems to have gone through successfully. Hopefully all the problems are sorted out and you all get your pre orders for that day!

proof or it didn't happen
but after the 1st missed delivery i think .. u cant do it before the 1t attempt
You'd think a half-trillion dollar company could do better than this. I think all they want is the publicity because they KNOW they won't lose any sales due to the hassle. And of course when it does come up it will say "Delivery July 1st."
No confirmation email but I think order went through. I used Amex card and went to Amex site and its showing an authorization from Apple under recent transactions. Maybe I was one of the last because right after I put in my CC card authorization pin and hit place order the screen went white.
Even dominos pizza moves there online ordering to azure cloud provider to handle traffic during the Superbowl. Can't apple span horizontally to support the massive fluctuation in traffic....
I got through
I got through too over the phone only to have them say the store isn't working now. No ******!

Everything loaded super fast when I used the app but I took too long typing in stuff and the store went down before I could complete my order.
Good luck with that, I was on hold for 25 minutes before I finally talked to the right person and she told me they use the online store and don't have an eta for when it would be back up. That I could just call back later and see if it's fixed.
