Now I get it!
If yours is coming via UPS you're one of the first to get a tracking number. If it's coming via Fed Ex, your tracking number will come later. Notice that no one, so far, has said "I got my tracking number and it's being shipped by Fed Ex"

Okay, maybe wishful thinking but UPS won't deliver till late in the evening (where I live) IF they do indeed deliver instead of running off with the package as they often do. I've ALWAYS had problems getting packages from UPS.
UPS = United Parcel Sucks
It is Saturday. From my experiences, I usually get stuff from UPS around 4PM on weekdays. On Saturdays it's usually before 1PM.
 
My local news just said Apple has pushed back the shipping date of the iPad from April 3rd to April 12th. Has anyone received an email about this?
 
I wonder if people receiving their notifications tonight are for the ones that are getting their iPad via UPS, and they will still utilize other company's such as FedEx and possibly DHL and those individuals will get their notifications a bit later?

AFAIK DHL got out of the home delivery business awhile back (at least in the US). They still ship packages, but it is usually passed on to the local USPS office for home delivery.
 
:rolleyes:

Can you just change your user name to Debbie Downer and get it over with? Go troll another forum instead of continuously stamping on the iPad fun.

Oh he explains this in another thread without knowing he was giving himself away.

He hates apple, has never owned anything apple before, but sold his laptop to buy an iPad when he heard about it.

So really, he just doesn't get it and will probably return the ipad and buy another Dell anyway :D

oh and I woke up at 2am to a shipping email!!!!

Not excited about the ups thing. They suck on Saturday around here. Someone said their amazon prime comes ups on saturday. Not mine, fedex only.

Now to go see what the tracking shows. The kid will be heck to live with if it's not showing up until Monday.

New orders (as of a couple days ago) will be shipped by the 12th. Existing orders are obviously still being delivered by the 3rd, seeing as how they have begun to ship.

As understood, only orders placed now are bumped to the 12th. If you placed your order before (I think it was this Friday) you should be good for Saturday delivery.
 
UPS? Say it aint' so :mad:

Yea. I was surprised too. I'm used to Apple & FedEx, especially for a product launch. But, I usually don't have any problems with UPS (I get lots of packages through Amazon), so I'm pretty sure I'll get my iPad on-time.

Thats what they get for only reading the Headlines and not the actual story.
 
Just a few notes...

Shipped, means it probably shipped from China

Right now it is 11:40 PM PDT Sunday in the US, but it is 2:40 PM the NEXT DAY, Monday, in China.
 
Just got mine a minute ago, 32GB ordered at 5:32 AM AST (Apple Standard Time). I'm on the east coast.
 
Just got tracking update:

"Origin scan: Shenzhen, CN"

Next stop is Anchorage, AK!

Now the question is if they will deliver early, or if they will hold them for 4/3 delivery.

In the past it is 2-3 days from Shenzen to locations in the US when apple ships direct from the factory.
 
Well, shoot, now that I know its UPS, I know that UPS doesn't offer Saturday delivery in my little town. Thankfully I am going home this weekend to see my Parents, in a City where UPS delivers on Saturday. Looks like I am changing my Shipping Address. :rolleyes:

Geesh Apple, why switch from Fed Ex? :mad: Oh well, the UPS Air facility and the Airport is pretty close to my Parents, so looks like an early morning delivery for me. :D Really, I should have just had it sent there in the first place.
 
Sat will be a long day to wait. Guess Ill be cleaning the house that day and PRAYING my iPad comes.

You might say he gave it away by choosing the screen name FoxNews1. He probably just assumes that being confrontational and arguing about everything and basically calling other people liars is normal human behavior.

Maybe owning an Apple product will mellow him out.
