I see that some are priority and some are standard. This is my thought on it:
People who ordered right away already have an iPad claimed, it will ship out using standard shipping and arrive on time.
People who ordered later are going to have to wait until another shipment from China hits here and the way it is looking they aren't getting it until last minute, so Apple will have to bump your shipping to priority to meet the deadline.
Oh my! Mine says "Priority" also. I wouldn't be surprised if we got em' Saturday.
I ordered mine within 10 minutes of the order window opening, and my order was changed to priority. Not sure your logic works.
I am the same as you, My 64 GB 3G shows 2-3 day but I ordered a few accessories as well and the last of the accessories get here tomorrow. All I am waiting for is the iPad 3G 64 GB. Wonder if it will switch to Priority after the accessories get delivered tomorrow?
I did order mine on 3/12 about 9 pm at night.
I doubt it. My accessories have all been delivered about a week ago and mine still says 2-3 day. I'm not worried about it, though. I'm sure they'll all get shipped out using the same method anyway. More importantly, however, is that they actual ship by the end of the month as promised!
EDIT: Nevermind, I lied! I just checked again this morning, and now mine says Priority as well....
Oh my! Mine says "Priority" also. I wouldn't be surprised if we got em' Saturday.
I never noticed that detail before but mine says "Some via U.S. Postal". I ordered a few other items with it at 0805 on March 12th.
When I placed my order (back on day one), I selected Priority shipping - so that hasn't changed for me. However, as of yesterday the shipping charge is now pending on my bank account.
Priority on mine as well, though I really don't think this means anything. Ordered 4/15.
My case won't deliver until May 11
I'd rather have a case with no iPad, than an iPad I'm afraid to take outside for lack of a case.
ordered my 3G on 4/2....orders status still the same...."late April".....
Nothing on my AmEx pending charges yet.
