I think world ease is where ups group a number shipments together and send according to the country they are going to or whatever.

World ease is likely a company that takes care of all the paperwork and BS stuff needed to clear customs. Many of the Orient companies who ship bulk to the US and elsewhere have companies that they pay to make sure things are not held up for no reason. They pretty much ensure and smooth flow so that thing get where they need to go as quickly as possible.
Mine is still in transit. Should be here mid week.

Oh Ok..I was going to call Apple since I was talking to someone about this and he never heard of world ease..thanks for letting me know..because it does say on my Apple email that I am receiving the iPad 2 White Wifi 32gb so your probably right, its some company in China who takes care of the stuff before its shipped

It appears I was partially wrong as it looks to be a true UPS company and not a third party. Perhaps they bought it.
From the UPS website

  • Clears customs as a single unit, reducing documentation and saving time
  • Provides guaranteed time-in-transit times
  • Offers detailed tracking visibility for every package in the shipment
  • Enables customs brokerage savings for UPS Standard shipments

I'm loving my 16gb iPad 2. I got it in white. Since then I've added a custom vinyl sticker. Very happy. :)

I placed my order a week ago last Friday on apple.com's website as I wasn't able to locate it anywhere local. yesterday, I went to an apple store yesterday & they had a whole new shipment come in. I now have my new 64gb wifi only best friend... this sure beats having to wait till the 17th for it to ship...
