iPad 2 shipping times slip again, this time to 3-4 weeks

Finally! My iPad is " prepared for shipment"! I placed my order at 1:02 am PST on March 11th. My cover shipped on the 12th, but I still can't track it at fedex site; maybe fedex is closed on weekend?

I ordered a 16gb White wi-fi at 4:30am EST, along with a green smart cover. The cover shipped within a few hours. The ipad 2 has not shown "prepared for shipping" yet, but is still in the 3-5 days range. I'm thinking it was worth getting up early now!

I ordered a White 3G one at 4am est, but have not seen the prepared to ship yet. What I've noticed on most sites is that these are the only ones that haven't changed status so far from the early orders. At least it still says 3 to 5 days.

Whoot! Picked up by Fedex and on its way.

it said 2-3 weeks and to ship on 4/1

I did order via EPP store and did call to make a change but not sure if that affected anything.

epp=employee purchase plan via my employer. btw also got a discount

Ordered online at 10am PST. Got email that it has shipped and due to arrive 3-15 just 7 hours later.

FYI, for those constantly refreshing the order update page...

Has anyone who ordered an engraved ipad2 received a shipping confirmation?

I just canceled my order on Apple's Online Store. It said it would ship on April 1st, so I went to Best Buy and pre-ordered it there, since they said it would hopefully come next week. Really hoping that's true...

I ordered my iPad2 64gb black wifi/3G ATT at 6am EST and got an order acknowledgement that it would ship in 3-5 days. I checked the status today and it said that it would ship in 5-7 days. I hope the shipping date won't slip any further.
