The New iPad Pre-Order Status Thread (USA) - All Models

[jddar]

OMG! I'm shocked! My white 16GB WiFi iPad's status has changed to "Preparing For Shipment" (no engraving). Considering past experience, I was so sure this wouldn't happen until next Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest. Order was placed on the 7th around 4:30 PM EST.

Why are you using the kiddie font? lol

Mine is still processing but my Applecare is complete. Oh well doesn't really matter as long as I get it on release day. I hope it doesn't come UPS , because that means I would have to wait until about 5 pm on Friday

 

[PsstGreek]

Mine moved from processing to preparing for shipment. White 16GB WiFi.

 

[tonyy]

Received email saying my iPad shipped. Delivery date march 16.

The New iPad Pre-Order Status Thread (USA) - All Models

I just checked the status and it still says 'Processing' and I ordered it yesterday morning. People when did you get the 'Your order has shipped' email?

And it also says 'Ships by March 19'. Does that mean it'll leave the warehouse on the 19th or will I receive it on this day?

You will be blown away by the screen clarity.

I'm excited for it. I had the iPad 2 for a short while, and used it every day, but had to sell it due to financial issues. Got the Touchpad in the firesale and never used it, dunno why it just couldn't hold my attention like my iPad could.

I'm selling my Netbook when I get my iPad and can probably score $250 for it, and don't use it too often, so I'm getting a decent "discount" in that sense. I just can't wait for the 16th now

.......And it also says 'Ships by March 19'. Does that mean it'll leave the warehouse on the 19th or will I receive it on this day?

I think that means you missed the first shipping batch. Likely, the model you ordered has sold out and will ship on the 19th.

For those of us who are getting it shipped by March 19th, when do you suppose we will actually get it delivered? Maybe on March 23rd since it may be coming from China? What do you think?

2nd Question: Has anyone with a Ships by: March 19 got a Preparing for shipment notice yet?

Has anyone who ordered a black 32GB Verizon model (not engraved) had their status change from "processing" to "preparing for shipment" yet? I ordered two yesterday around 1pm PST and I'm still in processing.

64gb 4G w/engraving still saying "preparing for shipment, delivers on march 16." Never got an email.

Saw that "pre-sign" button on someone's post here -- can you really pre-sign so they could leave it at the door?

You have to wait until it ships.

But yes.

Like a few people here, mine is being prepared to ship. White 16GB WiFi

 

[scorpio1973]

Mine is also preparing for shipment - white 32GB wifi + 4G AT&T.

 

[3460169]

Both 32GB wifi iPads (white & black) I ordered are in preparing for shipment as well.

 

[J.L.Photography]

Another "new" iPad shipped!

Email notification at 12:03

 

[28Gauge]

Yesterday, I cancelled my 32GB wifi model and ordered the 32GB LTE (AT&T). My order stays still says processing.

 

[thatappleguytoday]

I guess the new ATVs are here in the states already? iPad was shipped but ATV is still processing

 

[wingsabr]

32gb white AT&T - ordered yesterday at 10pm - in process and date still says will arrive on March 16

 

[atarin]

Order disappeared?!

I ordered a white 16gb iPad with engraving at about 1:30am, and it said that it will be delivered on the 16th, the order status said they received my order, and my bank says the payment is being processed. Having a bit of a problem with OCD, I checked the order status again about a half an hour later, and now the order doesn't show up at all (neither does the order from the smart cover I ordered 10 minutes after the iPad). Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm freaking out.

Ordered the exact same thing as you, still processing.

 

[madhu1989]

Ok, now the order status page says "Processing Items," so I guess all is ok. I also got an email from Apple saying "thank you for your order," so I'm going to assume I should get it next Friday. I wonder why the order disappeared for over an hour. Weird.
