I’ve received nothing yet. Netherlands. Confirmation email within 4 minutes. But I know that in NL it usually ships late in the evening (23:00-24:00) and still arrives the next day. So I’m still hopeful.

Meanwhile is my package from China with cases, screen protector and other accessories waiting at the customs for over two weeks now… why does it have to take that long… I swear it’s no drugs.
We started ordering stuff from china as a business. I'm surprised how quick it all arrives. Custom build and same week delivery => insane.

Germany here - got charged on Tuesday along with everyone else, still preparing for shipping.
Ironically, the Apple TV I ordered a few minutes later and for which I got charged yesterday morning has been shipped and is arriving tomorrow via UPS.

Mine is waiting in Prague to be delivered in Germany . DHL says it won’t arrive tomorrow.
Hatte ich schon öfter das dort ein anderes Datum stand. Express ist in der Regel auch wirklich express und kommt am nächsten Tag. Keine Sorge! Dein Paket denn schon in Bewegung oder sagt dhl , „ Paket noch nicht erhalten“?

Would you look at that! My iPad was shipped literally no more than a minute since my last post. No update on estimated delivery date, but things are looking pretty promising!

It says it is sorted at Prague, so I guess it’s waiting to go in the next van to Germany

Believe me, it will come tomorrow to 99%. In the shipping Mail is 21.5 as delivery date, right?
every German dhl express delivery has 25.5 till now, it will change in the night/ morning.

How long can I be optimistic if it's still stuck at "preparing shipping"?

There's been no updates on UPS webpage. In theory, apple ordered the ipad to be delivered to Germany at 6am (Czech time), but since then no new movement has been shown. According to the information on UPS, the ipad is not even in their posession yet. Nevertheless, Applestore (and also their shipment E-Mail) claim that the Ipad will be tomorrow (21.05).

I've seen this pattern in other european users: no movement on UPS in spite of Apple claiming 21.05 delivery. Are you guys also experiencing this? I suspect apple possibly ordered a big bunch to be delivered at once at 21.05, and that might be somehow related to no updates being show on UPS; this should hopefully not change the fact that the delivery will still be fulfilled on the claimed time. (It wouldnt be the first time for me that UPS delivers a package in spite of not updating their tracking).

Just got a notification from UPS this time, confirming the delivery for tomorrow between 9.30 am and 1.30 pm ?

Yes, with UPS shipments I often see no movement until late at night. And then they're already in the country.

Even Apple shipment confirmations at 8 pm are usually delivered next day - so I'd only start to worry at around 8/9 :)

Don’t panic bro. It’s always like this. The iPad is sitting in the warehouse ready to be picked up. The iPad have been packaged and labeled. The ups truck will pick it up late in the evening to transfer to another hub. At night it will be processed and tomorrow you’ll be the happy owner of a new iPad.
