lol im talking about final year of university exams! I think having my iPad would make me waste less time because I spend ages everyday reading about it and googling new news lol I'd be better off having it! Good luck getting those A's with your iPads help :p Although I can see it being useful for me to revise my university lecture notes don't know how it will help for A-levels LOL unless you can buy those Letts/Revision books on the iBooks store :p

I cant see it being much help with the Alevels like. Im hoping a 3D hologram of Jobs shoots out of it and gives me the answer to all my exams - now that would be magical :D. Anyway I'm off totally wrecked! all this excitement hah! Good luck for today hope your iPad arrives nice and early! :eek::D

My TNT UK iPad is now at my local hub which is about 2 miles away from my house!

Also, my status on apples website has changed to 'in transit to customer' it also says that it will be delivered on time on the 27th:D

I'm now about 90% sure my iPad will be with me in the next 12 hours!
 
Mine is very strange now. UPS says that my actual iPad is out on delivery from London, GB but my Camera Kit says nothing since departure scan from Tamworth. Weird.
 
Hmm

My 2 parcels are now in-transit from Tamworth to presumably my local UPS near Stoke - they left and 23:20 last night, and haven't arrived - I'm organising a search party!

Knowing UPS deliveries it could all flip round to 'out for delivery' around 7 - 8 am so I'm still hopeful it might just come today, and if not defo tomorrow.
 
This article is very interesting:

http://electro-candy.co.uk/2010/05/26/ipad-arriving-early-for-some-preorder-customers/

"TNT have received notification from Apple that 13,700 consignments of iPads will be arriving in the UK this evening (26th), and that they are authorized to deliver tomorrow (27th)."

I guess the level of us ordering iPads has forced Apple to dispatch early :D well they could've chose to deliver from friday and than delay iPads.. so Thank You Apple!!! :apple:
 
wahey!

Arrived in Leeds 03:00 - out for delivery at 04:45

was told to call at 08:00 to check ETA

Driving to Spain later today for half term with family - wife is very pleased that i am not queuing at the Lakeside Apple store to buy another one tomorrow morning.

Downloaded a load of Apps last night and now will have to whack em on the pad when it arrives

hardly slept last night - must be careful driving ...
 
hmm, mine's been received at Transit Point KG4. Anybody have an idea where KG4 is? Google Maps (interpreting it as a postcode) puts it in Germany, here's hoping TNT haven't flown it there from Birmingham...

Mine is there too, from 8 o clock last night, was hoping someone on here could shed some light on where that is?

OKay, just googled it, apparently it's Kingston-upon-Hull
 
5.30am and mine is out for delivery too! I've got today and tomorrow off, and actually had planned a whole lot of chores today plus meeting friends for lunch. Fingers-crossed the delivery is made when I'm actually home!!
