iPad 2 Shipping

Who else is stuck on "Int'l shipment release. ANCHORAGE, AK"?

@KT4BAMA: I'm in the same boat. Ordered my iPad 2 w/ Smart Cover at approx. 5:00am EST on launch morning. Later that day my Smart Cover was prepped for shipping and shipped the next day. I just received my Smart Cover today (3/15) via FedEx. I, too, ordered an ENGRAVED iPad 2 and it's still listed at "Not yet shipped" on the order status but is listed for a "Mar 18 - Mar 25" delivery. The ship time remains as it has been since I ordered on launch morning - "3 - 5 business days."

I ordered a iPad white 32GB wifi and a red Smart Cover. Currently my iPad has departed Anchorage, AK. My Smart Cover was delivered 03-15. Expected to receive it on 03-17 at 430 pm.

Ordered an 64GB Wifi Black iPad 2 and cover at 12:58 PDT, 3/11. The cover shipped almost immediately, and was delivered today (albeit to the wrong address).

The iPad is still "Not Yet Shipped" - still says 3 - 5 business days, to arrive between 18th - 25th. So we'll see. Clearly, there's plenty of time left in that window, but it does seem a little inconsistent with some other similar orders in the same (or even slightly later) time frame. Oh well.

My iPad was ordered at 12:52 PDT, I've been checking several times a day and just now, 9:19 pm EDT, the status finally changed to Prepared for Shipment. Yours may be close to a change in status as well. Hang in there!

It seems I'm with you guys. I ordered a 32GB iPad black engraved with no accessories on 3-11 at 3:02am PDT and I too continue to see the "not yet shipped" with 3-5 days and 18th - 25th arrival date. I have watched the shipping dates skyrocket from 3-5 days to 4-5 WEEKS in just a few days and I'm wondering if that will do anything to further delay my shipment. And it does seem unfair that stores are getting orders before us. I have no problem waiting in line behind people who are ahead of me, but I paid for my place in line too.

Anyway, any estimates on when the early morning 3-11 people with 3-5 days will ship?

I ordered mine (not engraved) at around 4:10 AM EST/1:10 AM PST, and it said ships in 3 - 5 days. So far, nothing has happened and it still shows as: Not yet shipped. I waited this long for an iPad, I can wait longer (but not too long 😉 I'm in Washington D.C. metro.

To answer the original question asked, yes i finally saw shipping status updated.
It seemed like it took a while to go from Hong Kong to Alaska.
It now shows it in transit out of Anchorage as of 4:34 local time in Anchorage.
If your status is like mine, I'm sure we're on schedule to receive it by 3/17.

I ordered 16 gb black with engraving at 1AM PT.

Any white ipad2 3G shipping yet? Ordered 3/11/2011 12:49 pst not shipped

I ordered my iPad early Friday morning and received the confirmation e-mail. However, my card hasn't been charged yet? Does anyone know if Apple charges the card after the iPad ships or does this mean I've been waitlisted?

I checked the status of my order and it still says deliver March 22-29th.

My order finally came in! I don't know about everyone else but to me when apple said Fast Free shipping! That was correct. If I knew demand was going to be like this and I was going to get it this fast, I would have ordered two!

I ordered at 1:01am PT 3/11/11. Got shipping confirmation on 3/12/11. Fedex was scheduled to deliver on 3/17/11 but to my surprise it was delivered to me today, 3/14/11! I'm located in San Mateo, CA

64GB Black Wifi only.

Hooray

I order my iPAD 2 3g for AT&T at 1:00 Friday morning on got a confirmation that order was received and would be shipped out 5-7 days then sat it changed to a shipped date between April 1-8 this is very frustrating. i am disappointed in this purchased have been waiting a long time to order my iPAD and still have to wait almost another month before its even shipped out.

Ordered at 4AM EST...64GB with 3G, and nothing, no updates as to shipping time - still says ships 3-5 business days. The HDMI adaptor and cover have shipped though.

I received a notice from Apple tonight that my iPad had shipped. However… on FedEX it says "Anticipated Shipping Date"… I assume HK time which would mean today as I post this.

I know that people have posted that the tragedy in Japan isn't a factor… and perhaps that is so… but I don't know. Hard to see how it couldn't be.

In the end… and I'm definitely NOT one of "Apple is always right" crowd… I'm pleased with this situation, I can wait. - JamesJM
