Ordered my first one (white) at 9 PM EST. Got the confirmation email 1 AM this morning. Cancelled the white iPad and ordered the black one (7 AM today), and got the confirmation email one hour later. March 16 delivery date.
 
ordered a Verizon 32 G black early this morning and got a confirm email for 3/16 delivery
 
Ordered 64 GB AT&T Black on 3/7 at 6:00 pm. Email confirmation of delivery on March 16 2 hours later.
 
yes ... you get 1st email with subject 'Thank you for your order'
and then 2nd email 'your item shipped'

there is a delay in the 1st email ... some people didn't get that email for 10+ hours after placing order

Oh okay, I think I got the mail 3 hours after I placed the order. Thanks. Sweet waiting days for the product to arrive starts. :D
 
I ordered mine at 3:40 PST yesterday and I still haven't received a confirmation email. I'm getting worried.. is this normal? :confused:

Look at your orders on your account on Apple's website: if the order info is there showing your item, order number, delivery date, etc, you should be fine. If your order isn't showing up there, you should probably order again.
 
Placed mine @ 6PM EST on 03/07 and got my confirmation mail about an hour later. The order is "Processing" with a delivery date of 03/16 (my birthday!).

Yep I'm one of those

I did call yesterday (6pm EST) to confirm my order with the CS department and the money is held in my account.

I'd feel better with the email though lol

I believe I had this same anxiety with the 4S pre order :rolleyes:

You should be fine
 
is that what its really called? The New iPad?

well that's what they are calling it .. just so they can get the number off it ...

so no more ipad 3 , ipad 4 and so on.. just iPad

its like macbook pro or macbook air ... you dont see a number in front of it ...
there is no macbook pro 6, its just macbook pro..

i bet you next iphone 5 will only be iPhone (the new iphone)
 
anyone else order one for in store pick up?

i think they went on sale at 5pm est last year..

i don't have a estimated time just that it will be ready at the store on the 16th
 
I'm amazed that they haven't sold out for launch date yet. Either Apple learned from last time, or they're not selling as well.
 
Maybe that model is running low on stock. About half an hour ago I ordered my 16gb white WiFi model (after changing my mind about waiting in line) and it says "delivered by March 16" on my order.

Well in my case I checked at the time I ordered and the 16 Gb and 32 GB versions were able to arrive on the 16th of March. However I wanted the 64 GB model and it is apparently selling faster than the others. But it should not be longer than a week more hopefully. That is not too bad. Last year I seen people ordering just a few days after it was announced and ended up waiting 3-4 weeks for their iPad.

Apple must have a butt load of iPad 3 units as even this morning it still shows they will be delivered on the 16 th.

Overall the ordering process went way better this go around co pared to other times. Cudos to Apple.

Depending on the model you order. If you want White and 64Gb and it is from AT&T then getting it on the 16th is out of the question if ordered now.

When I post, early this am, all was still available. It could not last forever!
 
Order shipped!

I ordered my 32GB Wifi model yesterday at about 4pm Eastern Time.

Received e-mail this morning that my order has shipped via UPS, tracking is showing a delivery of 3/16 and that it has "Departed" from EPZ, China.
