Double WooHoo! Within a 30 minute timeframe shipping tracking went from No Info Available to a tracking number, label created and delivery date changing from original 6/19 to this Friday, 6/16. Really getting excited now! Smart Cover arrives today.
Spoke too soon, shoot! It is now reverted back to delivery 6/19 and I dont think it will move up again. And is right now showing shipping progress from Landau Island, HK with date of 6/14. Where the heck is HK? But I guess its Wednesday there already.

"A technical issue has been encountered with the vehicle preventing an immediate delivery attempt to be made."

Can't remember last time I was so angry. I get this message after:

- I took a day off.
- waited for 11 hours basically in front of the door
- got the update as late as possible so I couldn't call customer support
- not being here tomorrow
- Thursday being a vacation day
- therefore getting it friday
- preordering the first second after the store came online.
- knowing it was available Saturday in a store near my location

F*ck off Apple & DHL

It's Apple's fault that the truck broke down?
 
Just picked mine up from the ups store on my lunch break... Now I don't want to go back to work, I just want to play with it!

Of course not but they could play it safe and give the packages to DHL and UPS earlier. It makes no sense you can go to local stores without pre-order and sometimes get it several days earlier. I wish they would at least control that more so I don't feel screwed over as someone who preordered from their in-house store. DHL is obviously much more to blame, especially because the car must have broken down at least several hours ago because of their current location and of course the status update just came in time so I could NOT reschedule or call customer support (they close 8pm).

I work in logistics. Unfortunately, sometimes there just isn't anything you can do. Bummer either way.
 
I have an Air 1 at the moment - I'm guessing I should see a big improvement. Has anyone made that jump or bigger from an 'antique'? :D

iPad 3rd Gen here ...prolly only can beat that with an original iPad, because the geek thing shows iPad 2 as competitive with this one. I'd give you the edge though, but we will both need a defibrillator when we transition. I am hoping my fully-loaded 12.9 gets here soon.

Ordered iPad pro 10.5" last 6/6 (in Germany). Still in processing and delivery for next June 22. WTF apple? :(
 
So I guess jumping from this iPad 3rd Gen (328/566) to the new IPP (the big one, too) will be interesting. This wait is driving me a little batty.

I will be replacing my 1st gen Air. Not quite as big of a jump but is still going to be a huge improvement. I'm getting a little crazy waiting for mine also lol. One more day for me...
