Yippee! I’m “shipped” (label created; UPS does not yet have package) with a tracking number. Estimated delivery date is 9/16, but that of course depends on when they get the package. Now I can stop refreshing the store page and start refreshing the UPS page.

Update: Origin scan @EPZ; Clearance “in progress”

So I don’t recall seeing this before in this thread (of course I could have missed it or just don’t remember), but “EPZ” stands for “Export Processing Zone.”

My iPad has shipped after charge and preparing for shipment yesterday. Currently ups says it’s awaiting release from customs as of 12:42AM. Without digging back through this thread does anyone remember how long this process took or what pages have the most recent wave of shipments with that information?

If you go back to around pages 90-97 in this thread, you can follow the shipments of the ‘“second batch”, including mine, which were shipped around May 21st and arrived on either May 26 or May 27. Hopefully, you can find something that will answer your questions. Some had “customs scans”, and some didn’t, but all arrived at their destinations in good order. When the shipments start from China, they are all grouped in large pallets, and the pallets are only broken down once they get to Louisville.

I do have the tracking #. Apple order status now shows shipped and shows delivery date as June 15. (original window June 9-23). My initial hopes were receiving it June 9 with the Sunday night status change. Guess, will have to wait for a while.

UPS Tracking page shows the below :

"The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release."
Estimated delivery
Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date.

Took a look at local stores this morning and saw the model I had ordered (1 TB, Space Grey, Cellular) was in stock at a nearby store. Ordered same-day pickup, cancelled still-processing order with a 6/17 end date.

That ends my worries about having to drive back and forth more when I move next week. Hopefully it also moves someone here forward in the queue, too!

I got an update email from Apple an hour ago that everything is in order and I will get my order soon. From the same original delivery window with you, mine updated to…. June 23 - July 8 :O
I guess now the engraving is the culprit.

I don't think my iPad is coming by June 12 (my earliest arrival date). It's the 10th already and its still "processing" :/.

Wow! I wonder how they are shipping it so fast? Ok, and why didn’t I get the same treatment. Oh well, I’m happy for you. I just wish mine would show a scan. I’m actually not likely to be home tomorrow, so it better not come tomorrow!

Same combo here. Switched to June 2-16th today as well, not preparing to ship yet but hopefully soon!
Check stores near you! Most of mine got bunch of restock so I managed to pick one up today!
