Anticipated ship date * Mar 10, 2012
Estimated delivery Mar 12, 2012 by 3:00 PM

Hold at FedEx Location
Hold at FedEx Location service is not available for this shipment.

Looks like I'll have mine Monday or Tuesday.
Yeah Mine was shipped on the 9th and it does say "Future delivery requested", but the estimated delivery date is "Mar 12, 2012 by 3:00 PM" like yours. I ordered it as soon as the Apple Store came back online on Wednesday.

I seriously doubt I'll have it before Friday though.
 
Couldn't I just call FedEx with my uncle in the line, and tell them he is Apple to tell them to lift the future delivery request?

I really don't see any issue with them not believing me.
 
Maui bound

Just got my shipment notification today. Originating in Ontario, California via FedEx. Mine also says Priority Overnight/Indirect, future delivery requested for the 16th.

Mine shipped today, but it was originally set to ship by March 19th! ETA is March 16th.

It is being shipped by UPS, though. What's up with that?
 
Finally shipped .... Now wait :/

I received a "shipped" email on March 11, 8:31 PM CST. ETA March 16 by FedEx. I'm getting a black 16gb wifi+4g AT&T.

Now I guess I have to wait while my iPad sits and waits while in the US.

Good luck to us all!!
 
Did not read the whole thread, but at this point, how many pages are going to dedicated to people who have a delivery date of Mar 16 ?????

My guess is a lot... I figure anyone that ordered on the 7th or maybe in the early morning hours on the 8th is scheduled to ship Friday the 16. It is however annoying to know that your cool new toy is sitting in a warehouse somewhere being held because heaven forbid Apple let you have it early.
 
Got my ship notice from apple on saturday but the tracking number still is not showing up with fedex. i assume it will show up later today? i shouldnt be to concerned about this should i?

I'm in the same boat. I'm not too concerned about it. Assuming it's sitting in some warehouse close by.
 
Wow, that's almost 2.5 weeks later than everyone else. :eek:

No kidding! i am about to rage-quit my order and punch my way through the line infront of my hometowns apple store. this was supposed to be my first :apple:-device. Not a happy camper.

Mine has shipped as well but curious as to what "indirect signature" means
 
I don't know why everyone is so anxious to order online and receive their iPad on Friday while relaxing in front of the TV. So much more exciting to go to the Apple store Thursday afternoon and sleep outside in the snow all night, only to be awakened by an armada of scalpers cutting in line just in front of you, so that your first choice of model and color runs out before they get to you.
