Just been along Tottenham Road and Oxford Street, loads of imported iPads around but for what they are asking (£750) they'll be pushed to shift them before you can just wander up the road and get one from apple.

seen similar prices on the Edgeware road.

You'd really want to be desperate (and a spendthrift) to buy one their.

So my Ipad and case were shipped on 22nd May, does it really take 6 days to deliver? Can I expect these before Friday?

My guess is no.

Good point.

I think the answer to both is 'no' though!

I don't think it's really shipped, or if the shipping company has them they aren't allowed to deliver them until Friday.

I got shipping notification on the 23rd!

Won't be anyone at home to accept the order though - just hope it's with a courier that has a local depot so I can collect.

Loads of people are panicking about not having had shipping info yet, some even threatening to cancel their orders!

As long as it says "Delivery on 28th May" I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

With the US delivery, I had shipping notification only a day or so before receipt. It arrived on the day. Apparently UPS had a warehouse full of them under lock and key - they had been delivered to the USA well ahead of schedule.

Apple know what they're doing, it's not like this is the first product launch they've ever done ;)

Hang in there. My dad only got his confirmation on Friday after fretting that everyone else had had theirs earlier in the week, despite placing his order the moment pre-ordering opened. The theory I've seen around the Mac forums is that the really early ones are already in the country. Whereas the ball has to start rolling on the later orders earlier because they're coming all the way from China.

Cancelling would be dumb at this point, as you wouldn't be able to get one again until July at the earliest by the look of it.

£32.45 delivered.

Or as I posted earlier £28.40 delivered here, with pretty much the same expected arrival...

I think they're all just guessing at the moment...

That "4-8 days" has been on there for about a week now so either it's imminent or more likely they haven't a clue.


My iPad has just left Hong Kong having started out in China. :)
