Mac Mini 2.4ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Iphone 3g,
I agree the backlog is cleared up, mine went from Prepared for shipment to In transit to LOUISVILLE, KY in 24 hours.
Now if I could figure out how you guys got the flight information, I could track that.
I ordered mine 5/12. The original shipping date was 5/26 and delivery 6/2. Last night 5/22 it said prepared for shipment. This morning i received an email from apple saying it shipped, 5/23 and should be delivered 5/27 by ups.

Location Date Local Time ActivityWhat's This?
EPZ, China 05/23/2011 4:17 P.M. Departure Scan
05/23/2011 7:04 A.M. Origin Scan
China 05/23/2011 3:57 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
Out for Delivery! 🙂
Mine has changed to shipped with a fedex tracking number. No scan information available yet. Any guesses on where and when it's going to leave there? How do I find what flights there are? If it makes any difference, it's coming to Southern California.
Due to arrive by 10:30 A.M. Arrived promptly at 9:54 A.M. Way to go Apple and U.P.S. Fine tuning my iTunes library right now. Getting those iPad apps downloaded. Cant wait to get it synced. 🙂
UPS may not be backed up anymore, but FedEx definitely is. My iPad still hasn't left China when it was picked up on May 20th!
I've learned that it really doesn't matter what carrier you have. It's all luck, apparently...
Congratulations on the iPad Mopey, hope you get your package soon.
If anyones order just departed Alaska , I think our iPads are on this plane: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS2997/history/20110523/1430Z/PANC/KSDF

I concur. UPS updated mine saying it left Anchorage at 6:20 AM local time. This flight seems to fit with that departure scan time. It's scheduled to arrive just after 7pm EDT. Assuming it gets off quickly and goes north fast, I may have hope for mine tomorrow if not Wednesday for sure (usually my packages go from Louisville to West Chester to my door).
I'd count on whatever the estimated delivery date might be. It's rare that packages come early (at least I've not been lucky in that department with any carrier). That's weird it's within driving distance from you and not in your hands right now.
Keep checking the tracking in case they decide to deliver it early. I'm not sure about your neighborhood but I definitely don't want mine hanging out on my porch for hours 😉
In case any of you are in the Pacific Northwest:
SO excited to start playing with it tonight!
@Sunny California
did you pay for expedited shipping? I'm curious if people who took advantage of the "free" shipping get FedEx or UPS. I don't think I've ever paid for faster shipping with Apple and it's always come FedEx, but with my iPads it was UPS.

Normally that's what I'd do. My package was originally scheduled to ship today, yet it shipped on the 19th. UPS originally slated the delivery date as today but has since removed any estimate. My hope had been for tomorrow but I severely doubt it. It has to land in Kentucky still and then truck up to West Chester (PA) before heading out for delivery. Slight chance yes, but the chips aren't in my favor.
Did not pay for expedited shipping, but it is engraved. So maybe it had to come from the engraver's?
A couple of months ago I ordered an ipod online and it was also shipped FedEx. Maybe it has something to do with destination area, as everything I've ever done with Apple (repairs, orders, etc) have all come FedEx.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but when my now "disappeared" delivery estimate slipped by 10 days, I called and complained and got bumped up to expedited shipping for free. UPS gave me a delivery date of by 10:30am today when it left China last week, but that time has since come and gone and I haven't gotten an tracking update since it left Anchorage @ 6:30am their time today. I think Harold Camping must have been moonlighting as a delivery analyist for my package.
