Same as you.
I have the exact same shipment progress. I'm in State College Pa, just a short drive away. Go figure lol. But it will make headway today.

So weird. Mine also went from Harrisburg, PA to Newark, NJ but I'm in Philly. So it basically went from being an hour and a half west of me to being an hour and a half northeast of me.
It is odd to be all geeked out over the anticipation, but I too have that feeling.
Although, having youngsters of my own, I get to piggy-back on their childhood excitement many times...which is awesome.
FedEx guy was right! My iPad literally drove THROUGH my city and went 3 hours north of me, to Oakland. Just arrived there. Uncanny, lol.
Whoa... how is yours in Newark and mine is in Indy? We're both in State College!
I'm still in the "Processing Items" stage with a 16GB White iPad3. Ordered on March 8th around 12pm. It sucks. I've called Apple a few times and they said everything looks fine the only date I have is "Ships by March 19" but you'd think I'd be past the Processing Items stage by now :/
I'm in Canada by the way. This is my first pre-order experience and it's not very fun!!! haha (I know this says USA but I didn't see a thread for Canada, unless I missed it)
Also.. first post. Hello

This is true. Christmas through the eyes of my children (ages range from 17 months to 6 years) is much sweeter than any of my own.
But...is is pretty damn sweet
And my kids are excited because my iPad 2 will be handed down to them once mine arrives. I currently have a gumdrop case on my iPad and I am so sick of this huge, bulky beast! Perfect for them, horrid for me. Come on, iPad!!!!
Just checked mine, it too went from Nashville to Indianapolis...which is further away from me then Nashville is, but whatever! I'm happy it's on the move!
I agree. FedEx and UPS don't know what they are doing. Clearly their goal is to have one of their planes explode over the CONUS.
Clue 1: Don't confuse where something goes through customs with where it gets scanned for explosives.
They are both UPS. They were ordered together, hers an ipad2, mine an ipadNew.. Both engraved.
16GB Black Verizon iPad. Ordered as soon as the store came up on the 7th. Still says preparing for shipping to be delivered tomorrow.
I wonder if some of these were already in the US and thats why they are not showing as shipped yet.
I feel pretty confident it will be delivered tomorrow but its still kind of nerve wracking.

looks like indeed the move is on, however mine seems to have left only to return (I guess) 2hrs later
Same thing happened with mine -- picked up from Nashville, left for
Mount Juliet last night, now back in Nashville.
Not sure about this, but maybe iPads arrived at the respective mega facilities (located near airports in Ontario and Nashville) prior to the announcement and then were move to facilities elsewhere util ready for shipment. That would make sense or the "picked up" indicator and validate having to bring the iPads back to the sorting facilities for delivery.
I know FedEx made Memphis it's home, so I really don't understand why they were in Nashville (except that they have a major presence there as well).
Perhaps yours was on the same truck as mine - which made the same move...
Although, mine is on the way to Chicago - so seems like it's making its way towards me!
Right now, mine shows:

I wonder that that "Shipment information sent to FedEx" notice is all about...
Whereabouts do you live? It may just be sitting there until they are ready to put it in transit to you.
I have the same "shipment information sent to FedEx." Not worried though. overnight deliveries routinely happen all the time for orders placed the morning before delivery, this is normal. Overnight is overnight.
It goes through Border Patrol in Alaska. I'm also not sure how it works if the entire plane is iPads coming from Foxconn and it goes through Border Patrol. I imagine the security routine is different for those than the normal traffic of individual packages from scattered locations in Asia.
As someone else said, the Customs stamp is just where the paper was passed.
