I'm in the same position as you. Just rang TNT and was told that my ipad is in Coventry and the tracking should "go live" either tonight or tomorrow morning. Apparently all is fine for a friday delivery. One point of interest is when I told the rep on the phone that the goods came from Apple she had to check on a different system which apparently is only used for Apple packages. Keep your fingers crosses.
Got a tip for us?

Wasn't really into the iPad until the wife got a wifi one back in April from the US. Since then I followed the original ...EU news... thread and now this - even placing my order 10th May at 01:30 for the wifi + 3G. I suppose I'm not in such a bad way as I have access to an iPad, but it's not mine, so I've run the gammit of emotions from preorder to money being taken to shipping notification and invoice. Finally in the last few minutes the UPS track info has gone to billing info received. Have faith guys, they are on the way an it only going to a short time from now!

Damnit, the TNT woman said if nothing goes wrong it'll be delivered tomorrow. Then I called Apple and asked if I could rely on the information from TNT or if it's beeing held back as in the US. The guy said the european launch doesn't have anything to do with the US launch and that Apple is no longer in posession of the iPads so I should listen to what TNT says
I don't know what to think

It's different for people who's family members brought them over from the US. Most of us in this thread haven't even seen the iPad in the flesh, nevermind touched it.
Our excitement is beyond anything you could imagine.
Just called TNT, told the nice lady that I am waiting on a parcel (dint say what it is or who from) that was shipped on Monday and that I had two possible tracking numbers (802xxxxxx, 811xxxxxxx). She checked them both and could not find anything, I told I wasnt sure whether it was coming from UK or abroad. She then asked has this got anything to do with apple? I said yes, she then asked is it an ipad? I said yes. She told me all the ipads are out for delivery today but I couldnt tell you what time as there are thousands of them but defiantly today.
5 Minutes later I get a call from an unknown number, and it was the lady from TNT saying that she had got her days mixed up, and had to retrieve the recording of my call to get my phone number, and that the delivery will be tomorrow for sure.
Also, my current account has been debited (I am £729 deeper in the red) no actual statement entry yet.
PS: My girlfriend has already declared her hate for the IPad, Apple and this thread, as all I done since Friday is hit refresh
Bit off topic,
When I enter my serial number into http://appleserialnumberinfo.com/ it says it has 512 MB of RAM, do you think this could be true? I think the biggest weakness of the ipad is the 256 MB of RAM

You'd think that, but TBH since the day she got it I have hardly had the chance to use it, so it's a case of having one within 3 ft of me and not being able to get to it! Believe me, that's worse than not having one at all.

Im so bored of seeing "Billing information received" on the UPS site, just hurry up scan it and send it out already!

LOL....Good boy!
My credit card is now showing I've been charged for my 64GB 3G iPad, case, camera connector kit and O2 sim. My two UPS tracking numbers are now working too. They both show "Billing Information Received".
I just installed the UPS Desktop Widget to keep an eye on things.

I've had two TNT trucks drive past my house at various times throughout the day so far, and it's infuriating
I know deep down, it won't be here til Thursday or Friday. Thank god I'm free all day, I'll be sitting at my PC all day with my phone haha

Guys, go read the link on page 54 ( here is the link.....http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=123642&page=28) someone has put up, that takes you to an old 2005 thread, for when the new ipod came out...
... Now why I'm telling you this? simply because it contains the same tracking info were getting for most of us here, including the dutch port of call.
But more importantly following that system, it took 14 hours, (god knows why, unless by road) to get to London, then it went out that day for delivery.
So guys using that system and my current tracking,...
26 May 2010 02:42:48 Arnhem Hub Shipment In Transit.
26 May 2010 01:26:56 Arnhem Hub Shipment In Transit.
24 May 2010 18:03:47 Hong Kong Shipment In Transit.
I would say, mine will arrive in UK around 5pm, today and then go out tomorrow, so I will see.
But looking at that old thread, gives us a lot clearer picture I think

Has anyone else been staring at their tracking numbers for so long that they are firmly imprinted on your brain?
How dare you come to this thread and use logic and deduction! There's room for nothing here but panic, paranoia and irrationality....

Haha, nice one.
My Fiancee has pretty much just submitted herself to my iPad hysteria. I don't think she's had a choice. She's muttered "I'm sure you love that bloody iPhone and iPad more than me!" a couple of times this week, although I'm sure she was only half joking!
Like the iPhone, as soon as it actually arrives I'll be fighting for it out of her hands. She's an Apple fan girl very much in denial.
As for tracking, I'm starting to think I'm the only person who hasn't chased their iPad's up yet. I've followed this forum since January, the EU News thread since creation and now this thread since this week, but I think getting hung up on a tracking update is a step closer to insanity further than I'm willing to step! Currently, I'm banking on it arriving on Friday, although there will be someone at home this week anyway just incase it arrives early. I've received all my invoices and had my account billed around the same time as everyone else in this thread so that's all the tracking info I need.
Has anyone else been staring at their tracking numbers for so long that they are firmly imprinted on your brain?
Yes, I think I've been reciting them in my sleep.
So tomorrow is a definite possibility. Fortunately I'm off next couple of days, so I've no choice but to sit in front of my 360, listening for the door. I think I can manage that
Red Dead Redemption? If not it should be!
My latest TNT tracking status shows:
26 May 2010 01:47:02 Arnhem Hub Shipment In Transit.
and I have never been so happy to have £429 took out my bank
fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow, if not, oh well

lol, I know I kinda feel disappointed now I have a good idea when it will be here....(still sits and waits for knock on door)
Now to go choose either the nude case, or the mcally snap on cover..mmmm
Perhaps the Greeks are stockpiling our iPads and will hold them to ransom to offset the national debt seeing as we're not part of the Euro?
OK. I now know my reference numbers off by heart. Insanity is the next step...
