what the hell la!!!!!!!!!i ordered on 9th may..status still the same...shit la!!!!!!some of them who ordered on 9th of may which is same as me, their status has changed frm not yet shipped to prepare for shipment!!!!WTF APPLE!!!..any info guys???

Then wtf are you talking abt!!!that u ordered two days earlier then me!!

at the rate the compensation is going, they might decide to launch they future product real late on the web store

Every business has SLA. I'm just sharing what you could get from your rights as a customer. A day late may mean nothing to most people but could make a huge different to some people. What if you are getting your ipad late when you are supposed to give it as a present to VIP that you have invited to an event, or you are supposed to give it to a potential client in a meeting, or as a suprise gift to your wife / gf / boss / family?

I'm pretty sure in other countries, customers are as demanding (or more) as us in Malaysia. And looking at their sales in Malaysia, people are still queueing for the 4th batch of iPad2. With a bit of business sense, do you think they will want to delay their future product launch in Malaysia?

Sorry frega, didnt mean to start any argument here, just sharing my thoughts. Yes you're right, it is estimated delivery time, my mistake. And with our (Malaysia) slow custom clearance, they'll prolly shut down their online store here.

And sales in Malaysia is not as high as other bigger countries of course (I actually meant the take-up rate / penetration rate).

Just one thing that I wondered, I just went to Apple online store SG and Korea, and the option to buy ipad online is still there. Where did you get the news from? Prolly I've missed something out.

haishhh so anxious waiting for my ipad2. the promised delivery date is tomorrow. and yet the status is still 'clearance delay'.
some more i arranged it to be shipped to my husband's office as a surprise. if tomorrow, its confirmed he'll b in office. but if other day? -___-' guess this is the price we have to pay from buying online huh?

actually is 0 day delay 

I got the same answer from dhl also. No customer invoice from 3 rd party agent

same as me

so what happens if you're not home when the ipad arrives at your place? do u have to collect on ur own later, or they'll re-deliver?

hi there friend of the same batch 
I ordered on 18-May-2011
so, should we call and bother them? 

silly question, any tips on how you ask for your rebate?
