I called Apple Friday to ask for a ship date (I ordered on day 1 of preorder) and was told the IPads will ship next week starting on Tuesday. If you live in an area with alot of orders/high population city those IPads will ship out first. Less populated areas/less orders will ship out later in the week. Regardless of what day yours ships, they will all get to a 'central location' in your city and be held there for delivery on Friday April, 30.

When I asked what company was delivering, UPS or FedEx I was told it will probably be UPS because FedEx doesnt do 'hold' shipments. Also the IPads will need a signature on delivery and they cant be pre-signed for like FedEx because UPS doesnt offer that with Apple deliveries.

The representative also said the units would be delivered to us early in the day before they go on sale at the stores at 5 pm.

Then your iPad will not be delivered.

You may be able to leave a note for the driver, with your signature, requesting that they leave it at your front door, with a neighbor, or at another location. That said, it is up to the driver whether they comply with that request or not.

If you miss the driver, you can always call the shipping company when you get home and request that they hold the package at their office, and you can pick it up at your convenience, rather than have them attempt to re-deliver the next day.
