Prepared for shipment!

[qnet]

So, really there's no sense to any of the shipping. Can't figure if it's models, colors, time ordered. Just seems to all be random.

I agree, it does seem to be random. My email said it would be delivered by the 16th but, it's still in HK and "in transit" with a delivery date of 3/17. It's time for me to be patient also but, I did take off Friday just in case.

Ordered a White, 64GB Wifi+3G from apple.com on 3/11 at 1:24am PT. Ship date listed to be 3-5 days. As of today, it is still in "Not yet shipped" status.

I am in the same situation that you are in. My smart cover has shipped but not my white 32gb wifi ipad2. Maybe they ate building them to order in China! LOL

Mine is in Memphis now, straight from HK.

Yep, there were a couple fed ex flights that went straight from HK to Memphis, and a couple that went to Alaska first.

Mine looks to be landing in Memphis in 50 minutes or so.

Props to posters at Macrumors for matching up fed ex flights with fed ex shipment "left facility" times!

Ordered mine @ 9:53 a.m. EST on the 11th. I don't expect to see mine shipping anytime soon. Est del date is 4/8. However, the est del date for the covers was 3/31, yet they shipped 3/14 from China and will del on 3/17. Soooo...let's cross our fingers that they bump up the iPad2s the same way!!

Mines made it from Alaska to Memphis.

Hoping it will get delivered to me in Atlanta on Wednesday instead of Thursday now.

Well, checked my status this morning. Still says not yet shipped. This is sad. I may have to call apple later and see what they say.

If you call, let them know there are many just like you. Placed orders at opening of their online store and disappointed at the slow delivery. It's as if they don't have the item on their shelves. Yet I would think that they'd be working 24/7 to get this stuff shipped and in the hands of their customers. Hopefully you can get through to a person. I'm sure that they are deluged with calls.

FedEx just moved my delivery date of March 17th on my Smart Case to March 22nd. Bummer. Delayed shipments most likely due to the Japan crisis. Based upon what Japan is going through I can sure wait for my iPad2 and Smart Case for a bit if it means someone gets water and food first.

 

[Dubebone]

Same here, my smart cover is being delayed.

Wow, my iPad is out for delivery in Atlanta! Was original scheduled for Thursday. I thought maybe it would come one day early, but I didn't think it would make it from Memphis at 1am EST last night to Atlanta for time for delivery today.

They must have flown it to ATL rather than driving it down given it made it from Memphis to ATL very quickly and it's a 6.5-7 hour drive. Made it in less than an hour as it left Memphis at 4:10am central and arrived in ATL at 6:05 am EST.

I won't get a lot of chance to play around with it today as I don't get home from work until 10, but I'm still stoked it came so fast.

That's cool. Mine is still at Memphis but, says "Intl shipment release" at 11:40PM yesterday. I wonder what it will be when it updates.

 

[dmaul1114]

That means it has cleared customs--mined did that in Alaska yesterday.

Next update will be leaving Memphis.

I'd think it would have left already, maybe it just missed a scan.

Is there a more updated scan when you track it at this site that gives more info:
