  1. I now have a TNT International Express tracking code, it says that my iPad is in Shenzhen and delivery will take 3 days.. I somehow doubt that it will be that fast.. but who knows. perhaps they will not hold them till Friday. But I guess that is wishful thinking..

  2. Canadians are getting shipping confimation emails? I ordered mine on the tenth, and I haven’t got one yet… It’ll still show up on friday, but it would be nice to have a tracking number to compulsively checkcheckcheckdoubletriplecheck.

  3. A silly question but if you pre order an iPad and an item thats out of stock / 3-4 week wait like the apple case … do apple wait until the case is in stock before sending both or will they send the iPad the the case?

  4. Awwww!! Mine only says Shipped on: May 22, 2010 and the Carrier Tracking Number given by Apple is not working on tnt.co.uk website. Maybe is cause I ordered the iPad case and the dock.
    Thanks anyway.

  5. pre ordered 11/5/10 in the A.M but haven’t received a shipping date yet just ‘june’ :-(…

    thus why thought maybe the case could hold things up

    JP Raadt.. thank you for response seems like it wouldn’t

  6. Anyone tracking for TNT International shipments (English version) use the following URL
    http://www.tnt.com/webtracker/tracker.do?navigation=1&respLang=en&respCountry=gb

    2 Choices..
    1) Enter the delivery reference (9 digit number) from your email, make sure the reference number radio button is selected
    2) Goto the US Apple site, check your order status which should hopefully have a consignment no (9 digit no), enter this on the TNT tracking page, ensure that the consignment number radio button is checked.

    Hope it helps

  7. I ordered mine on the 10th at 7:50am GMT and I still havent received my confirmation it says on my first email that all goods will be shipped once all items are availble and it says all items are availble is there any other way of checking weather or not it has been dispatched?

  8. Peachy — Go to Apple’s online store. Near the bottom of the page is a check order link. Log in to your account and it’ll show your latest orders and item status.

    ps My 20¢ SIM card has shipped. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

  9. I’ve not received any shipping conformation yet either, now i am getting concerned that because i ordered a case and sim at the same time it might delay the shipping. I did order on the first day and i check the website compulsively. has anyone else who ordered a case with there ipad receive a shipping email yet?

  10. kitch – me neither…..ordered ipad, sim and case on the May 11, 2010 at 09:09 PM GMT ……the order was still in the “early bunch”….. no updates on the shop site yet – and certainly no emails

  11. AndyC I have the same problem as you. If you log on using the american apple site (store.apple.com) and then order status you will get a different tracking number.
    I used that new tracking number and i got this:

    Reference F28391703
    Pick up date 03 Mar 2010
    Destination ATHENS
    Delivery Date 09:18, 04 Mar 2010
    Signatory DARMAS
    Date Time Location Status
    04 Mar 2010 09:18:00 Athens Shipment Delivered In Good Condition.
    04 Mar 2010 07:18:37 Athens Out For Delivery.
    03 Mar 2010 19:39:18 Athens Shipment Held In Warehouse. Follow Up Actions Underway.
    03 Mar 2010 15:57:01 Athens Shipment Received At Origin Depot.

    Seems like Apple mess up a little bit with the tracking numbers, hehe!!
