You got yours quick. I ordered mine one day later and its only "prepared for shipment." Did you do the quicker shipping?

No, I did the free normal shipping. I guess I was lucky, or maybe the China Foxconn plant pushed out a few extra ipads the day I ordered. I hope yours comes before the arrival date. The day I ordered the iPad was only a day after apple changed the ship time to 1 to 2 weeks instead of more time. Maybe they had a boatload of orders after the change in ship time. I know it affected my decision to order instead of stalking our apple store.

My white ipad 32g AT&T with yours.... hope it'l get here tom. From Chicago IL
 
I really shouldn't complain, but I have an interesting story about my iPad 2 delivery, or lack there of.

To start, I won a 32 GB Black WiFi iPad 2 from the company I work for. Team building event = free iPad 2. Pretty awesome. Of course, it's impossible to purchase an iPad 2 from any retail store, so it was ordered online with a company card. Since then, I've educated myself on the delivery process and understood that if lucky, I would be showing off my new toy in the office by the end of this week. Wishful thinking is an understatement. Not having an order number to base anything off of, reading this message board was my best chance of estimating when my iPad 2 would be delivered. I've become obsessed like many others have, but there is a strange twist in my story. As many have heard, the Sony Playstation Network has been hacked. My company has had business with Sony in the past and therefore cancelled the credit card used to order my iPad 2. As far as I know, which is very little, my order has gone to **** and who knows if I will ever see my iPad 2. Ironically, I am the PCI Compliance Analyst for my company and if Sony had only followed PCI DSS guidelines, I would have had my free iPad by the end
of the week.

All I can say is, if you have an account with the Playstation network please change the number on your credit card or cancel the card. This information has been compromised and there are laws protecting Sony from making this information officially public. Enjoy your iPad 2 if you have one. :confused:

Congratulations! I hope most of us in PFS or already shipped are enjoying our iPad2s by this time next week for certain.

Same to you! I love this part of the process. There's so much camaraderie and new friendships. Definitely one of the things I enjoy being an Apple fan.

Couldn't tell you. I was getting more information than the official ups tracker and I think some people have been saying the same thing. Who knows :(
 
Woo! Mine has finally changed to prepared for shipment, but my delivery date has moved back further:

Ships: May 11
Delivers: May 17

Scratch this, I got a nice surprise email this morning with a tracking # saying it was shipped:


Ship date May 3, 2011
Estimated delivery May 6, 2011 by 4:30 PM

May 3, 2011 2:31 PM Left FedEx origin facility SHENZHEN CN
May 2, 2011 7:11 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx
May 3, 2011 7:01 AM Picked up SHENZHEN CN
 
My original delivery date was the 2nd.
My new delivery date is the 5th.

Based on tracking info from my cover I should have my ipad in hand within 15 hours. This puts it at a day earlier than the NEW delivery date... but two days later than the original. :rolleyes:

I ordered a black 64/3g Verizon on April 22. Said: Ships May 6th, Delivers May10th.
Got a notice Friday that it shipped and I will have it tomorrow, in VA.
Fast Shipping! That is under 2 weeks from time of order.
 
Hmm...

So my iPad 2 shipped 4/30 and I was given a delivery date by Apple of 5/3 upgraded from the original estimate of 5/6.

On UPS however I am seeing this:


Chengdu, China 05/03/2011 8:09 P.M. Pkg shipped; delivery being scheduled
Chengdu, China 05/01/2011 4:52 A.M. Package has shipped and the delivery is being scheduled; check for updates later.

Definitely won't be getting it today. :rolleyes:
 
My iPad's latest status is "Int'l shipment release" in Memphis at 12:25am this morning. Apple says the "delivers by" date is today, FedEx has it by 10:30 tomorrow. Think I'll get it today here in NC?
 
Just saw the following notice show up a few minutes ago. My iPad is in Memphis right now:

FedEx Express National Service Disruption for Tuesday, May 3, 2011

The Memphis hub and flight operations experienced substantial disruptions last night due to thunderstorms. Consistent with the provisions of the FedEx Service Guide, the money-back guarantee is suspended for U.S. packages and shipments inbound into the U.S. from international locations with a delivery commitment of Tuesday, May 3, 2011.

Looks like our iPads are on the same shipment. I was supposed to be getting mine today as well. I called UPS to complain. They said there was a delay in China but didn't give me a specific delay. Said they were sorry for my trouble. I am annoyed a little by this whole thing. It's a good thing I do not know Mr. Jobs personally
