Got my tracking number. Shows shipped out of Ontario, CA which is only a couple hours from me. Shipping is Fedex Standard Overnight-Indirect with future delivery requested. So i assume that this means even that it will be held until the 15th and then I'll get first thing on the 16th. Hopefully, I'm wrong and get it on Monday
ordered mine on the 8th and just got the email saying its been shipped. Still says delivery on the 16th. Being shipped by some UK company I've never heard of.
Mine has said preparing to ship for quite awhile now. I ordered mine upon announcement. I guess Apple hates me because I'm loyal and bought everyone in my family an IPad 2.
Received shipping notice yesterday from Apple, but FedEx still says it has no notice of the tracking number I was given. Hopefully it updates in the next day or so. Seems like everyone else's tracking is already live.
We're happy to let you know that the items below are on their way to you. We also included delivery estimates and tracking information next to your shipping address.
Thanks for your time and for shopping with Apple.

I too, now have a FedEx tracking number that says future delivery for the 16th. Also Middletown, PA. That's only an hour and a half away from me. That's just mean...

Maybe they just hate you because you're a braggart
In an effort to consolidate the different status tracking information for the anxious new iPad fans, who are speculating about the current shipping timelines, and whether certain models of the iPad are shipping faster than others, or to figure out a trend of shipping times based on actual submitted, and hopefully, received orders, the following website offers such a service in a seamless user-friendly manner.
All one has to do is to put their order date, iPad model, and Apple Store estimated shipping dates, and later on, update their information as the status of their shipment gets updated.
Sharing this information, helps hundreds of anxious iPad, prospect and current, buyers, to better speculate Apple's store iPad shipment trends, timelines, availability of certain models. In addition this will be your chance to share with us the joy of your success in securing your iPad.

My shipping notification shows shipping from Nashville, TN, with a delivery date of March 12 by 3pm. Is that a mistake?
It'll get bumped give it a bit. Mine said the same thing originally.

Good luck everybody in getting your iPad
I hope I get mine tomorrow. It's not that far away. It's in PA.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Maybe if you had bought some for the others in your family ...
I also live in Pennsylvania but fedex indicates that the iPad left PA to go to IN and then get shipped back to PA.
