Received a shipping notice as well. Item is being paid for with American Express, and according to their web site, my card has not yet been charged. Seems a bit strange, unless these tracking numbers only mean that a label has been created in lieu of sending the boxes to UPS?
Got a tip for us?

Yes CC was charged and shipping was free
well we will see...I always have hated UPS, but that being said I have had things lost by Fedex as well...I am glad you guys have experience with Apple releases because I bought my 3GS Iphone via an ATT store on release day..I hope this thing gets here Saturday!
Your local facility may be a facility that cut back on Saturday deliveries to save money. Delivery companines blamed the recession for a lower # of packages being sent. One solution was to cut back on Saturday deliveries in certain areas. Technically this shouldn't matter, but apple does note on their site that if your area does not have Saturday delivery that you will get it on the 5th.
The people that stated that apple has a strict deal to deliver on the 3rd are incorrect. They didn't read the small print.
I live in downtown Boston and always get Saturday deliveries of UPS packages. UPS said this has nothing to do with it, its all about transit and customs times. Apple Customer Service themselves stated to me not more than an hour ago that they have a strict contract with UPS to expedite these preorders to customers by April 3rd and UPS should not be telling anyone these packages are delayed. I would agree with you about the cut backs UPS has made on Saturday deliveries, but not to my area.
I ordered mine the exact same time as you.. but mine still shows not shipped
... I wonder why?
I am still sitting with "Prepared for Shipment".
I am happy to know UPS is delivering because I know they do Saturday runs in my area. Sucks because they usually don't hit my house until Noon.

My iPad Balloon just got Deflated
Got it, (tracking number) and sad to say it's shipping via UPS and not Fed Ex
I'm doomed and will consider myself lucky to get it Saturday sometime before 7 pm, based on multiple past experiences with UPSad delivery
If I had known that UPS was the poison of choice I would have reserved in the store then driven the 50 miles to pick it up myself.

Do not get too down. UPS on Saturday is different. Obviously, they deliver to many few people and many less businesses. They get to you sooner, or should.
UPS has screwed me on tons of important deliveries. I have actually had to chase down the UPS truck before... not even joking HAHAHA.
I will be hunting my UPS guy on Saturday that is for SURE!

Oh, I'm sure that every delivery service has lost packages in the course of the delivery. Based on many decades with UPS deliveries I can honestly say 100% of lost packages, late deliveries, or the run-off-with-the-package-even-though-you're-home-then-lie-and-say-a-delivery-was-attempted have rested solely with UPS. I've NEVER (fingers crossed) had a negative delivery experience with Fed Ex and always found them to be reliable, efficient and prompt with all deliveries (to me).
Called UPS today and, as expected, the iPads are coming from China (International World Wide Service, according to
) and (according the UPS rep) will be in the U.S. this Thursday. She even went as far to say it would be delivered Thursday after clearing customs . . . which I do not believe unless donkeys fly She did say that Thursday was an estimate so no need to hang her out to dry on that one UPS has screwed me on tons of important deliveries.

ROTFL, same here! I'm not joking either
Guess I need to camp out on my front porch all day to catch the UPS brown truck before he/she flies off then claim I wasn't home to accept delivery.

They must have changed their tune, because they told me estimated delivery was Monday April 5th if all goes well clearing customs. Apple told me not to listen to UPS because they worked it out with them to ensure delivery on April 3rd. Who knows who to believe...Ill wait till the status gets updated through UPS..
has anyone tried to presign? I clicked the link but when it askes me to log in using my Apple ID nothing show up in my order history. I didn't use my Apple ID email account when I bought it so I just tried setting up a new Apple ID using that email address but still nothing. I wonder if UPS will let accept a signed note on my door.
