Mine hit Anchorage, Alaska at 11:54am and departed again at 2:26pm! Enjoy those fly-over states on the way to the east coast, my iPad :)

Purchased the 64GB Wifi in black on Wednesday at 5:30pm. Order status still says "preparing for shipment." :( I hope to wake up tomorrow morning to a shipment notification! Status does say it will be delivered on March 16th, though.

Purchased my iPad (3rd gen) 16G WiFi White, a Smart Cover and an ATV3 on Wednesday at approximately 4:30pm (EST), got confirmation at 6:03pm.

The Smart Cover has shipped yesterday at 8:30pm (EST) from Schaumburg (IL), got through to Memphis (TN) and Calgary (AB) in its way to Montr?al (QC).

As for the iPad and the ATV, it's still in processing. And I'm refreshing the page every 30 minutes or so. Just can't wait!!!

I got a shipping notification and fedex tracking number early yesterday. Just tried checking the tracking again and it still says that number wasn't found or doesn't exist.

Not quite sure why. I know it does this if it isn't all the way in the system yet but over a day and id think i would see something by now.

Here is what I received from Apple recently. It was shipped on the night and it has made its way all the way to Louisville Kentucky. So do you think it'll take six days to get from Louisville Kentucky? Could I not drive to Louisville and ask them if I could pick up my package?

I wonder how many West Coast ordrers are shipped. I'm thinking the mid and east coast need more travel time so are processed first.
Anyone on west coast got tracking number? My friend and I only moved in to preparing status last night

I'm not sure if location has any bearing on what gets shipped first. All my previous iPod orders would go from China - Alaska - Memphis, TN - Vancouver, BC. It'd be quicker if it went straight from Alaska then down the coast to me in Vancouver. I have a feeling it all has to go through FedEx's hub in Memphis before it goes on to the final destination. The shipments don't spend long at each destination...usually just a few hours.

i don't think anyone needs to worry... if your order said "delivered by Mar 16", you're good.... think about... apple will be shipping out ipads in MASSIVE quantities... and they'll all go through the same hubs be it fedex or ups.... the notification are simply formalities... the queue probably has more to do with when your bank/credit card processed the payment vs the actual order time....

Mine updated today and it's in Nashville. Agree with the previous poster. I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get it on the 16th if that's what it says.

Yes I agree we ordered before when the orignal ipad went 3g and it was very accurate as to delivery date. I'm just curious as to the rhyme or reason behind the status changed. We ordered online about 1:30 PST on announcement date. CC processed same day.

I seriously doubt that they'd give it to you early, but if you don't mind the drive and possible frustration, it might be worth a shot. :)

I got my shipment notification for my white 32gb AT&T model just now: no tracking info yet.

My black 32gb AT&T is still processing.

I ordered the black on 3/7 at 4:30 CST, and I ordered the white an hour later.
