Im not impressed at all with Apple on not including some sort of protection or earbuds with the iPad, no cleaning cloth no earbuds and no thin black sleeve ): Oh well after seeing unboxings it looks so plain lol
Got a tip for us?

iPad shipped, Apple just sent out tracking numbers!

I would have expected a cleaning cloth, thats about it though. I was surprised it didn't have that. If I remember, even the iMac's came with one perviously or still do.
I've been at Billing Information Received since Monday.
Is there a problem?
Not sure, I wonder the same thing. Mine as been on Billing Rec'd and Origin Scan but nothing else. But it has only been 30 hours since I first got notified.
So for China I guess that is par for the course. I just hope that UPS does not screw things up, I had some deliveries in the past miss shipment and delayed. That would really bum some people out.

I'm in the exact same boat, and getting nervous. I don't even have an origin scan, just says "Billing Received."
Hi mate!Anyways, if you want to see something interesting, track your package by reference (your order number or 9-digit phone number). It seems that Apple sent the Shipping Info twice for some people, so searching by that will give you two different strings of package details, however everything including the tracking number is identical EXCEPT the billing info times.
My 'normal" package says 4:50 AM on 3/31, yet the "second" package said 11:50 Am local time on 3/31.
So whatever the reason, either Apple or UPS, they got the billing info twice - which may explain why it took so long for my package to get updated - maybe the original info was corrupt of wrong (for example containing the wrong references or the wrong service) and they resent it.
haha it was interesting on the phone with the Apple guy though... never the less, I am going to head out for the night.
Gentlemen, I will talk to you all soon. And we will certainly see if our packages get on that 7 AM(EST) from Guangzhou tomorrow morning
First of all, thanks for all the great info you've been providing here.
I've b een a bit of a lurker but have been using your info a lot!Now this one was interesting as well, I put in my reference number as you suggested and actually got THREE results!

But this morning my credit card statement is showing as charged
I just think the UPS system is jut over loaded and not up to date. I reckon later today or tomorrow it will catch up!!
I hope....

GUANGZHOU, CN 04/01/2010 12:20 P.M. EXPORT SCAN
I think a lot of people who were stuck at Shenzhen/Billing Info last night will see this this morning. Hopefully. I don't know if this means we *left* China?
And hey, Apple finally took their money from me. I guess it's really happening!

I am not so lucky-- I have not even received the origin scan. Still at Billing Info from 3/30
Ugh, It's well into Thursday in China, and I still don't have another scan since the Origin in Guangzhou. Should I start getting worried??
My iPad Case finally changed to "Prepared for Shipment" last night. I wonder if that will be shipped from China as well, or here in the states?

Good morning all!
Well my package still isn't updated - but I do now realize my card was charged 2 days ago for the shipment, so I know it definitely left either way. Origin scan or not.
I still show the origin scan on the 30th at 8AM local and the billing info at 5 AM local on the 31st.
UPS has also refiled their IFR flight plans for their china flights.
UPS71 from Guangzhou - departing at 7:15 AM EST
UPS63 from Hong Kong - departing at 7:30 AM EST.
So with no export scan or activity like others here, I can only conclude that mine may go out tomorrow, or UPS is still taking 16 hours to update my status ( all of the status updates I have gotten were about 16-24 hours later than they actually occcured).
I would expect that for international - seeing as they scan them less and those posts systems are under a lot of stress from incoming and oitgoing as well as filing customs clearances.
So to those of you with an export scan already, expect it to be flying out today.
Those with JUST bilingual info or both billing and origin, don't fear. We may just be behind in tracking. But we also may just be going on a later flig

that's all mine said for the past 2 days. originally it was supposed to ship on 3/31 and then yesterday it changed to 4/1. i also noticed that i can no longer see the ref #'s associated with my shipment were as before i could.
this happened last year when i bought the first 17" unibody mbp and it came later than they originally said. if it happens with the ipad i'm gonna be pissed.
saturday: so close, yet so far away.

That is the release from the customers house in CN, nothing to worry about.
Mine is still in China. On March 30 it said 'Origin Scan' and then now it say April 1 Billing information received in CN. I'm getting so worried that it is gonna be stuck in China too long. I'm panicking. I just wanna know if it's gonna be here on Saturday or not, dammit.
