Apple Store getting hammered, offline again. Anyone get a pre-order???

[TheCyclist]

Is anyone else fearing that even though it says 'delivers on March 16' that in fact, they are back ordered and not shipping some of our right away?

 

[TheSnugg]

Not had any of these problems, but it sounds like Apple should be getting worried

Update: Mine shipped, but it's not in Fedex's system yet. I got an email telling me.

Travels Quick!

Holy Mackerel! Yesterday the UPS tracking site showed my order was in Hong Kong, and today it shows my iPad is in Louisville, Kentucky! It's obvious that it will be held for several days--until the 16th--in the local UPS facility, since Kentucky is not that far from where I live! Amazing service!

I got mine in yesterday... March 19th shipping.

Still no emails - but my status finally changed to Preparing for Shipment.

Ordered my iPad on the 7th, got shipping notification on the 9th. It says its picked up in PA, and holding for delivery on the 16th in NH.

I also ordred a 6' power cord, and that is shipping from China.....its in Alaska right now, with delivery set for the 14th. First time tracking a package from overseas.

 

[IvanLasston]

Finally got an email - with FedEx tracking info. It's in Ontario CA - due here the 16th.

Fingers crossed that the smart cover I just got for my iPad 2 still works with the New iPad. All signs point to yes but you never know.

Ordered mine on the 7th but it still says "Preparing for Shipment". I guess if there are already some stateside that they'll still be able to deliver on the 16th.

For what ever it's worth, I got thru the first day and it will be delivered the 16 of this month. I purchased a 32 GB White Wi-Fi.

Thanks

iPaid so where's my iPad??

Mine is still "Preparing for Shipment" and I ordered on the 7th. Mine is a black 32gb 4g.

Mine is in KY, ordered 2 so my girlfriend will shut-up.

Mine is still "Preparing for Shipment" and I ordered on the 7th. Mine is a black 32gb 4g.

It shipped this morning from Pennsylvania, so I guess it will be on time as I'm in NYC!

Wouldn't worry about it too much. Mine shows the same thing but also states will be delivered on the 16th. And my wife just reminded me last night that our original iPad order in April, '10 had a shipping status that was 'prepared for shipment' until after it was delivered.

I've received my shipping notification on Monday with a delivery date for Mar. 16th. The UPS shipping number doesn't have any information available though. All I see is this message:
"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Not sure if the iPad will actually make it for Friday... Patient I need to be

Almost unrelated post, but I will slip it in here because Ivan's post reminded me of it.
If any of you have a Zaggfolio Case (w/BT Keyboard) for the iPad2 and can confirm it works also with the new iPad, I would like to know about it.

I'm thinking of buying the Zaggfolio case but don't want to pop $100 on it and then decide to upgrade and not be able to use it.

If you can confirm, please do so by starting a new thread to that effect, just in case anyone else is interested.
