I hope they do arrive tomorrow just to piss people off that won't be home to sign for them. That would be glorious--won't happen though.

Either way, I better call FedEx and make sure that they have gas in all their trucks and air in all their tires. Then I'll call Apple to see if my order status of Prepared to Ship can be confirmed verbally. I don't trust these computer things to tell me the truth, you know.

Well you could always preauthorize.

Not going to respond to your second paragraph. :p
 
No Joy Yet

As of 124p EDT, I am still sitting on "Not yet shipped" for Order W695xxxxx placed on April 14th.

I changed the shipping address about a week ago since I am traveling on Friday. Apple Customer Service said, "not a problem."
 
My ipad case was stuck in Memphis for a few days. It finally showed up this morning. The guy was like smirking at me asking me how i got mine a day early. I laughed at him and said a day early? This case been sitting on the ground in Memphis for a few days. He said ahh I thought it was the Ipad. He replied well maybe tomorrow . I said tomorrow no friday is when I read Apple was sending them. He said no they were briefed by management that they have 800-900 for the local area and they would start coming on thursday, but not by the guarantied time of 10:30 but the ground time of 3 pm. I was like 3pm? Where did they get that time from? He said they sent them two day shipping is why. I was like mine says priority. He was like maybe you get it before 10:30. Long story short I don't know if mine is coming tomorrow but some people should be getting these things then. Don't bother doubting my story cause i could care less about your flaming opinion, just passing on a story! Good luck to those lucky enough to get them tomorrow hope I am!
PS no I haven't gotten a tracking number yet either, which is strange even if it comes on friday

I see you're in Long Island NY, so am I. So do we expect the iPad could be delivered tomorrow afternoon then? Is it UPS or FedEx?

Mine says the same, and I didn't change anything. You're not alone. :)

Fed ex, And by three pm he said, if your lucky to be one of the 900 that gets the earlier date. I still have no tracking info or charge on my bill me later but he acted like that didn't matter, because what his bosses told the crews
 
Well I guess if it isn't shipped today, it will be shipped tomorrow and we'll know it is overnight priority and that we'll get it by 10:30am. That would be fantastic.

They may overnight, but it will be by 5:00 pm. My guess is we will get tracking info tonight, and the forum will erupt with flight tracker posts!
 
here is an interesting thing on the may 7 ones

I missed the cutoff of the 18th so when i ordered mine, it says "ships by May 7"

now i ordered it on the 21st , and apple just hit my cc for it. this wasnt like a test hold when i ordered it.

I do wonder if they have enough warehoused here to ship some of the may 7 ones early

i hope they dont fed ex it, the extra power cable i ordered has been sitting in mephis since saturday and just now left memphis to head to nh
 
Ordered on the 22nd

I'll be interested to see if yours ships for Friday delivery. I ordered late afternoon on the 22nd and my status is still "Ships by May 7". I ordered through work (education) so I won't know when it is billed.

I ordered a Wi-Fi version on the 18th, switched to a 3G on the 19th, so we'll see where I fall in the list... I'm curious if anyone who has the "Ships: By May 7th" has had any status updates? I'll post mine when I get it (so far it's just "Not yet shipped" :mad: )...
 
My order placed April 12th is now prepared for shipment....i was charged five days ago...whoooo hoooO!!
 
I find it very odd for US to be this close to delivery, Yet no tracking information or credit cards being billed. Way to F with peoples heads Apple!

Maybe Apple assumes that the average level headed individual is not checking their shipping status, waiting for a tracking number or checking credit card charges every 15 mins. :D

No *****! People just need to RE ***** LAX. They said Friday...it will be Friday pending some freak accident or mishap. I doesn't matter if you get your tracking info 3 days ago or Thursday night. It's not getting here any faster or later. Christ!!:eek:

Calm down. It's ok, deep breaths. That's right.

You always gotta love when someone goes ballistic telling someone else to relax. :rolleyes:
 
He means that if you never came to this forum and never checked your order status at all the result would be the same...

You'll get your shipping notice when it ships and you'll get your iPad on Friday.

And all the while you'd be unaware of the activity on your order, but the people that get paid to worry about it and to fulfill it will have worked just as hard as to complete it regardless.

So relax.
