It looks like it might actually be happening!!!!!!!!!!!! This morning, when I checked my order on Apple's site, I saw it now says "Prepared for Shipment."

Yep, going to work late on Friday, after my iPad arrives.

Wow this is driving me crazy. I still cant remember when my GF ordered my Ipad but one thing for sure, I hope Im not one of the last ones and get it till August lol. I really hope they ship them out LATE APRIL, which can be the 30th and drive down to the Apple store and pick it up or just wait for it like everyone else

it is april 26 and I have a pre-authorization for the cost of my iPad WiFi+3g on my account now. Ship date has not shown up still says "late April" on apple's site. I pre-ordered my iPad on March 12. Never heard of "expedited shipping" with apple for items like this. I look forward to picking my iPad from FedEx on friday.

All of this is completely meaningless and you all need to take a chill pill. I am as anxious as anyone else to get mine, but now that Apple has issued a release date, no matter when your device is shipped, FedEx will not deliver it before April 30th. That is their agreement with Apple. It worked exactly the same way for the Wifi model.

I was charged for the warranty yesterday evening. Anybody else?

This is driving me insane! I had the Wi-Fi version to test it out and loved it. Took it back and my wedding photographer was working at the store and waived the Repacking fee for me. Glad I pre-ordered the 3G version so I could (HOPEFULLY) get it before the end of the month. I saw my AMEX was hit with two $1.00 charges and then $870ish charge but it's still showing as Pending! This is driving my bonkers! Think they might ship them without telling us to catch us off guard and by surprise when we do recieve them???

In reply to CHERRERA. I have the same charges but noticed them on 4/21

Yep, just had notification that my preorder was charged! Now I'm all antsy…

Does anyone else think they are doing this to us to drive us a mad?

Apple charged $1 to my account two days ago and took the full amount out today. I hope this means I will get it sooner than April 30th.

On the other two Items I placed at the same time as my Ipad (dock and case), they shipped those two items at different times the night my card was charged. So from that I would expect to wake up tomorrow, Thursday and see a tracking number for my ipad.

It is a visa, not a debit card.

If they aren't supposed to arrive untl the 30th…why does the order status still say "late april"? I think this means they could come earlier. I got, as of this morning, a pre-auth on my card for my 3g!

I just found a charge on my Discover card for the amount of an iPad 3G 64 gig. Could it be that the April 30th date was a smokescreen? Could it be that it still won't ship until next week? I'll have a complete nervous breakdown waiting for this thing.
Mr. Jobs: Please make sure that I'll be able to have my iPad in the loony bin I'm shipped to.

No charge on my AMEX yet and I ordered on March 12. :-(

I was charged on my credit card on 4/19 for 780.03, the total cost of my ipad. I think its on the way…YES!

Not for awhile yet. We've got another week and a half to wait. .

By: Debbie

Debbie — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:43:23 +0000

As of this morning, no charges on credit card and no change of status on order. It still says "Not Shipped" instead of the "prepared for shipment" or some such that I had hoped for. AND, my order was placed and confirmed within five minutes of the online store accepting orders.

I'm glad pre-ordered on the first day. Looks like those who did will be getting their 3G iPads by late April as promised. I'm gals I waited for the 3G model. I think those who rushed to get the WiFi only version will be kicking themselves. Not having to be lock into a contract did it for me. I've been downloading iPad apps like mad. Can't wait for the UPS guy to show up!
