Why does apple give so many different shipping numbers on there system and which one do we use caus I have tried all of them on all the sites and the widget says that my package was shipped to athens in Feb lol :confused:
 
same with the UPS ones. Im guessing what is happening is large companies get given a lot of tracking numbers in advance and Apple has allocated a number to your packaged. You'll prob find at some point in the very near future this will register on the courier's site.
 
Just found this on Apple UK site

*It may take up to 24 hours for shipment tracking information to be updated on our carriers' web sites

I'm not sure if it's the same in the UK, but in past orders from Apple Canada, the shipment notification email also said:

For orders shipped Monday through Thursday, tracking information will be available on the carrier sites 12 to 24 hours after shipping. For orders shipped Friday through Sunday, tracking information will be available on the carrier site by the following Monday evening.

Just FYI. :) At least your iPads have been marked as shipped ... I'm still stuck at "not yet shipped" and I ordered mine in the middle of the night as soon as Apple starting opening pre-orders.
