Mine was delivered today at 1:17 this afternoon! Since it's my first iPad, I'm just trying to educate myself on all of it's functionalities so I can optimize it's use.
 
I may have chased down my FedEx truck today. May have.

Pre-signed paper from Apple taped outside did not work because my order said Adult Signature Required. Had it said Indirect Signature he could have left it. I nearly flipped. But, I found him later and got my baby!!
 
can somebody please tell me what this means :

FedEx says it was a system glitch and no delivery attempt has been made and the package will definitely by delivered today. also the progress bar in the tracking page shows in red :(.

somebody please tell me what this means. also is anybody facing the same issue?

Delivery status on my mom's iPad is similar, and FedEx CSR simply told me the exception status was because Apple requested future delivery on the package. Sounded like a BS answer, but it's 2:20 pm here. Hope it shows up soon. :p
 
At 2 pm PST - Delivery Exception and "Estimated Delivery by 3 pm" is now "Estimated Delivery by 7pm."

I just noticed my package is now listed with estimated delivery by 6 pm. Well that probably explains the exception status. FedEx must have hundreds of thousands of iPads to deliver today afterall.

And right before i post this, FedEx shows up. Guess I shouldn't have doubted them. ;)
 
Mine delivered 2:40pm. Far better than the March 21 date I was first given.
My FedEx guy was laughing - "I bet you know what this is..." he said. He'd delivered over 50 so far. In a FedEx minivan, not a regular truck.
 
Just received mine and it's great! I love the retina display! Now I'm going to play with it. I hope you all get yours soon.

I picked mine up at the FedEx facility and the older gentlemen at the counter said there starting to look like an apple store with all these people coming in and picking them up.
 
No sooner than I got off the phone with FedEx Customer Svcs, the truck shows up.
;)

Per Fedex Cust Svcs, if your "Delivery by" is 7 pm, it is really 8 pm. Supposedly anything scheduled for delivery today, if an attempt can not be made, it will be attempted tomorrow. Even though that is a Saturday...

All I can say is hang in there...
