iPad 2 Shipping

Has anyone that has had their iPad already ship seen it move from Lantau Island, HK? Nothing has changed as far as the ship date or the delivery date, it just has not moved in a day or so.

Mac Mini 2.4ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Iphone 3g,

I'm on the truck!


Here's my nearly complete tracking history. Ordered 64GB Wifi Black iPad May 18. Original ship date June 3, original delivery date June 9. Fed ex still says delivery by June 7, but obviously it's coming today, which I expected, based on the fact that it was in my state yesterday:

Mine took a solid 48hrs from "Prepared for Shipment" to actually shipped. Original delivery date when I ordered it May 16th was June 7th, but I just checked and it's out for delivery today (June 3rd). I'm in Montreal, Canada, and from the day it shipped to the day I received it, it took a full 7 days.


The packages seem to hangout in China for a while, but once they reach Alaska, they are at your doorstep fairly quickly.


Enjoy your iPads!

I ordered on May 3, supposed to ship on May 24 but on May 24 got a message that shipping was delayed. After looking at this thread, I realized that most folks were getting their ipads shipped faster than I was. So I called Apple Support. The day I called (May 30), they told me it was starting to ship, and the next day I had a fedex tracking number. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe the squeeky wheel gets the oil. If you have not yet done so, call Apple Support.

Mine was on the same flights as yours from Asia to Alaska, then from Alaska to Newark, NJ. I ordered on May 20 after close of business, and was given June 6 as the ship date, with delivery scheduled for June 10. It shipped on May 31 (May 31 on Eastern US, June 1 in Asia), and was delivered this afternoon - 2 weeks after I ordered it and a week before it was supposed to get here.


I ordered a 64GB WiFi only white iPad with no engraving. I've seen a few posts that make me think the engraving slows things down a little.

Hopefully that yours don't take too long at custom deprtmnt.mine took 6 days to release.after a month just I received my iPad.I ordered may 1 n received may 31.every day I checked my email for tracking shipping.but I think it's depends on wether u order for Engraving or not because friend of mine got faster than me even he ordered a week after me n he received within 2 weeks only.
