The "Ships: By May 7th" information thread

I called Customer Service a couple days ago. I didn't even ask where it was shipping from and he said "It looks like yours is shipping from one of our stateside warehouses"

Which as we near Wednesday is making more sense.

I know the Rep I spoke to yesterday he told me that all ipads are coming from China. But if that's the case, I can't see them making it here by May 15. I'm hoping that they just shipped a stockpile of the 16GB pads up here to the states to catch up with demand and our ipads will come from this shipment. It would seem so true because like I said before, within the past couple of weeks, I haven't saw that many people anywhere saying that they received their pre-ordered 16GB ipad. Even at the Apple stores around here, some of them have 32GB and 64GB ipads in but none of them have 16GB in. But last night, a lot of people that ordered 16Gb ipads received the "Prepared for shipment" status and this includes people from other forums that I'm following as well.

Yea, I've noticed that too. We shall see. I hope we all wake up to FedEx Tracking Numbers in the morning :)
 
Maybe they did ship a huge stockpile up here. Because if you think about they have to restock all these Apple stores that's sold out. So what's the best way to restock most if not all the Apple stores and BB stores...just send a huge load of ipads up here. And if that's the case and they actually ship ours from this load, it would be 2 day shipping....shipped from within the US.

I mean, I don't think Apple will let all these stores go bone dry any longer. They'll be losing money and probably customers as well.
 
Well, mine just went from estimated arrival of May 14 by 12:00 p.m. to estimated arrival of May 17 by 12:00 p.m. Crap.

I woke up this morning and checked the FedEx tracking info and now mine says estimated delivery May 17 (Monday) by 1030am. Package details states "Package received after FedEx cutoff" so maybe that has something to do it....oh well.

Mine went into "prepared for shipping" last night. No change since last night. Hopefully getting a tracking number sometime today. As it stands, however, I am not expecting it to arrive before Saturday.

Exactly the same for me.

Didn't want to be. Maybe things will move along more quickly and delivery will be ahead of schedule. I'm in Southwest Florida, so I'm not terribly hopeful.

I live in Wisconsin and I'm betting on the new expected delivery date of Monday. Unless we have a ton of good luck on our side.

At the top of your FedEx tracking page by the progress bar, do yours say
"Shipment exception
SHENZHEN CN"
Click to expand...

No, mine says "In Transit"

In the time stamp boxes at the bottom it states it left the Fedex origin office at 1:33 p.m. Shenzhen CN.

That's amazing So where did you graduate from?
 
Just called FedEx. The Rep told me that I have the Shipment Exception underneath my tracking progress bar because my package arrived after the FedEx cutoff time. So when they gave me another estimated delivery date; it created that "Shipping Exception" message. So I guess nothing to worry about.
