[QUOTE="1991-C4, post: 1069009, member: 162118"] Now here is the really weird part... I ordered my iPad and case from Apple, both of which were backordered. So when I finally got the tracking number for the iPad, I saw that it was being shipped directly from the factory in China! You would think it would be cheaper to ship them in bulk and then distribute them from a warehouse in the states, but apparently this is the better way (read: CHEAPER!) to ship them to individual customers. But that's not all... About a week later I get the tracking number for the case and to my surprise, it was also shipped from China. Apple must have made one helluva deal with FedEx! P.S. Its worth the wait! [/QUOTE]
