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...
i waited and still didnt get my 2nd ipad delivered today .. still says exception
 
I ordered on March 7th, apps 11:59 pm (near midnight) and missed the first shipment for the 16th. I was put on the Ship by 19th wave. Mine finally went Preparing for Shipment Thursday evening. But today (Sat) it finally shipped. It states I will have deliver on March 20th.

I was worried at first as my bank denied the charge at first for a reason they could not say to me (some mistake) as I have more than enough money to cover it. I was worried that Apple will put me back of the line. So I called Apple but after I called my bank, and while I was on hold with Apple on the phone I seen that it went to prepare for shipment.

Since I was on hold I decided to stay on hold and continue to talk to Apple to verify where it was coming from. Apple felt bad for me even though it was not their fault at all. They offered me a Smart Cover and I asked," Does that include a Leather one?" Apple Rep replied," What Color?" I said, "Red." Apple Rep said, " Done!" He also said," It will arrive the same time as the iPad with free shipping." I tell you Apple Rocks!!!
