UK order updated today 21st to SHIPPED!!

Would be great to get them early, but I'm wondering if it's just the system's automatically calculated date now that they're on route to all the local hubs, they could still be held until Friday.

(Trying not to get too hyped up to avoid disappointment lol)

edit: ah, just noticed this post.

Just spoke to Apple. They said the 27th delivery date is a default from shipping confirmation and that absolutely no one will be receiving their iPads tomorrow.

She apologised but made sure to once more press that ALL iPads will be delivered friday.

Check my earlier post. No one will be receiving them early.

I was pretty disappointed too.

How did you get the Apple portion of Delivery Status to work? I've tried adding my order in a number of ways, but it just wont find it. I figure it's because it's a UK order and it uses the US site. Or is there a European version of the widget I'm missing?

Really? I just use the Apple (by e-mail address) configuration and entered my order number - it works. I just downloaded the widget last week anyway and it should be universal i.e. work for all regions.

I've spoke to TNT on a couple of occasions and both times they said (something like) "We are dispatching iPads to customers on the 27th, we're doing this to take some of the work load off the 28th"

I'm not saying it will be tomorrow, just sharing a little info :)

Same here..... 25th is a default delivery date for some reason? They've made an utter clusterf**k of this whole thing!

It looks like with Apple it's a case of left and right hand not knowing what each other are doing.
 
Delivered in Switzerland

My iPad was delivered today at 17:20. Delivery was not by TNT truck but by what appeared to be a private vehicle making special deliveries.

Battery charge at 93%!

Mine's in Nuneaton too... I guess that must be TNTs central hub for the UK. I won't hold me breath until I see 'out for delivery' on the tracking page tomorrow.

Nuneaton isnt their main hub but there are 2 TNT main hubs very near to Nuneaton. So I dont know if their system says Nuneaton but means one of these other hubs, or whether it really means the Nuneaton depot and they have all gone there because thats the nearest depot to Apples distribution centre which is just on the outskirts of Hinckley.

Anyway I assume all the Nuneaton ones are ones that have started off in the UK and only just started showing up on tracking? The ones that have come from China may not go through Nuneaton, but rather Northampton, Atherstone, or even another hub.

Oh this is amusingly annoying because I live in Nuneaton, but mine isnt one of the ipads currently in Nuneaton :D
 
Well it looks like my ipad will be getting delivered on the 27th :)

I called TNT earlier in the week and i was told about the infamous 'Apple E-mail' to hold all iPads till friday but i called again today anyways because i heard a lot of people saying they will be receiving them on the 27th!

So if anybody has there iPads traveling from Arnhem this is what i was told.

They have traveled by road and should clear customs by 7pm'ish (if no complications), the tracker should be updated somewhere around 8pm tonight, and if no custom issues, the iPads will be delivered tomorrow.

and a side note, my tracking on the apple site has been updated to say delivering on the 27th! here's hoping!
 
Just to add my 2 cents. I ordered the 64gb wifi ipad with the camera connection kit on the 11th. My order's status is now changed from prepared to ship with a delivery date of the 28th :)

Just out of curiosity, what is the little number 2 in a black dot?
I have a number 1 in mine, well both my orders I'm tracking, not sure what it's a reference to?

If you click it it will switch between the products in your order, i.e. if you have an iPad, Case and Dock it will toggle between each of those

Have just got off phone with TNT again as had a scary change to my tracker delivery status as icon asked me to call. Noooo! They'd already told me that my delivery would be tomorrow so I assumed the worst.
However - the were just telling me that delivery will be tomorrow!!!!!!!! Between 8am and 6pm.

Breathes again.
:D:D:D
 
Apple says delivered by 25 May. UPS still says "Billing Information Received".

In other words, no change. UPS still doesn't have the packages.
