Apple canceled my iPad pre-order
I pre-ordered my new iPad on Thursday, March 8th (32GB White, WiFi-only), and today received an email (below) stating that the order had been cancelled. I called Apple Support to inquire about the reason and the agent, while helpful, was completely baffled by the cancellation as well. He offered to resubmit my order, but now that the pre-order stock has been exhausted, I will not receive my iPad on the 16th as originally promised.
This is certainly disappointing coming from Apple, a company which ordinarily is outstanding in customer support. I'm still looking foward to receiving my new iPad, but it is a shame that an error on Apple's part means that I will have to wait an extra week for their mistake.
Has anyone else received unexpected notifications of canceled orders?
Dear Apple Customer,
