iPad Delivery 13th March?
Hi I ordered a new iPad on the first day they were available to and have been eagerly tracking my shipment ever since (albeit with the limited tracking info provided by Syncreon). Up until yesterday my estimated delivery date was 16th March and I have taken the day off of work to receive the delivery. But I've checked it today and it now says estimated delivery 13th March, does this mean I should have already received my iPad?! And if not will it still be delivered tomorrow as promised?
Anyone with any experience of these matters who could enlighten me? I would be very grateful

There's no chance you should have received it already - Apple has a hold agreement with the couriers to ensure that no-one gets it until launch day.
The 13th may have just been when the couriers received it, or may just be an error. I wouldn't worry - you should receive it tomorrow, as expected. |

Don't panic, same here, mines with Syncreon, at Birmingham now apparently.
Was excited when I saw the "out for delivery" thing but still, more time before Buyers Remorse kicks in! |

The Syncreon site is really messed up at the moment.
I tracked mine today and at the start of the day it was in Hinckley, then arrived at Birmingham. Now its back at Hinckley ![]() I just hope they are better at delivering than at website design. |

I've been worried that everyone else seems to know their courier by now and my order is just saying Syncreon and 13th March - your link confirms its out for delivery tomorrow. I am making my dad sit in my house til it arrives as we will both be at work - I have filled the fridge with pork pies and bought a packet of choc digestives for him - he'll be happy as Larry

It's my first iPad and going to be my first experience of all the changes to iOS since 4.0 as my 1st gen iPod Touch is stuck at iOS 3.1.2 |

My paranoia has now led me to look up UK Mail as to my knowledge I've not had anything delivered by them previously.
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews243919.html <---- That doesn't exactly fill me with confidence Nevertheless I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until tomorrow!

The TNT tracking has sprung into life - shipment in transit in glamorous Nuneaton...

My Dad had something delivered by UKMail on Monday and everything was fine with it so its probably just the minority of customers who have had problems, deciding to write about them on that site (hopefully)

My iPad tracking says "Held awaiting customs clearance"...
Getting a sinking feeling I'm not going to get it tomorrow

Been preparing for the arrival tomorrow by buying some new apps for the iPad just in case iTunes totally crashes tomorrow.
Bought iPhoto, Pages and Crystal Maze HD. Got a couple of free apps too. |
