May be worth sticking the post code of your most frequent places in here We used to have three mobiles at work but they binned them because the coverage around Leicester is poor, mind Voda is just as bad.
Mine too left the US at 8:51am from Chicago on the 15th. Hasn't updated since then.
Ooh I want to play:
Mine left San Francisco today heading to who knows where due to our Icelandic volcanic friend:

That's about 36 hours ago and it still hasn't updated. I'm really confused as to where this might be!
Yup. Looks like we're on the same plane! This'll be interesting!
Hmm... maybe it just means it's been cleared for dispatch then. Could be sitting somewhere waiting for flights to resume now.
The USPS website has no info at all about the volcanic ash in their International Service news.
This is great news for those waiting for the UK release. Most of the people who really want one will already have one.
When the 3g hits the shops the resale value on the wifi unit will plummet as loads of them go on ebay so people can get the 3g.
I can see the 2nd hand ipad wifi ipad market being flooded in about mid June.

Mine's in Jamaica NY so I presume it's being sent from JFK.
Anyone know what airline flies USPS deliveries to the UK?
The JFK website has some (11 out of 29 in the next 3 hours) domestic flights listed and some of the flights to London are scheduled but most are cancelled.
EDIT: Parcel is showing up on the Parcel Force tracker now. Shows as "Left origin country".

i gave up on the ipad , it will be near or over £600 when it is available from apple uk an that is a estimate to keep the distance to the iphone 3gs which starts at £ 440, if you see it as a bigger iphone that is..
if you see it as a portable computer it has to be cheaper then a macbook which starts at £816
so £440 + £816 =£1256 : 2=£628 ..we know apple , so apple usa prices will be something we can only dream of

Hey, has anyone else who orderd from Apple to a Bundle Box Address after the delay announcement also still going ok?
Getting worried about my order since pretty much everyone else who done it around time I did seems to say theirs got cancelled, Also USunlocked announced they are no longer able to recieve orders either...
My order is still active and touch wood that it does not get cancelled as if it did only way left is to wait or give in to Ebay with high prices and 'grey' area with warrenties....

Well I sure tempted fate..

Bad news, the phrase "CUSTOMS CHARGING".
Good news is though, after a hint from here I checked ParcelForce and it provided more info than USPS, and it seems it's actually out for delivery.
And the suns out!!

Lord know why it took 2 days after 'electronic shipping info' to 'acceptance'.
I guess I'll get it sometime next week now. I was really hoping to get it this week. So much for the seller saying 'will ship ASAP' and that express only takes 3-5 days.

Please update us on the customs charges. Ta.
How much did you pay for shipping?
When i checked the USPS site to get my iPad back the best shipping times i saw was 6-10 days!
UPS are sending mine in 2 for $100!
apologies if this has already been discussed, but what chance do you guys think there will be on subsidised 3G iPads?
Personally I'd jump at the chance of getting one cheap on a contract. I downgraded my iPhone contract in Jan to £20 (less calls, unlimited texts and internet) instead of upgrading to a 3GS, which might be a mistake long term I guess (Will have to cross the new iPhone bridge with my half year bonus!) so spending £15-£20 a month on an iPad contract would suit me fine.

Looks to me like the seller is at fault there. They process the delivery online and then they drop it off at the Post Office at their leisure. Mine shows the same but was dropped off the following day as the seller advised it would be.
I paid $60 dollars to my eBay seller. It's USPS International Express I think. Arrives in 3-5 business days... pending volcanic dust clouds of course!
Shipping was free from the seller.
Paid £435 (which included free shipping) for a 16Gb wifi model.
Yep. I think so. Hacked me off a bit really. I always send stuff the next day.
Anyway. As long as I get it next week and it works with no issues I'll be happy.
Yeah I have the same hopes here. I'm often cursed with problems when I buy electrical equipment of any kind!
