Apple's estimated ship times for Smart Covers online vary according to the type and color ordered.
Grey, green and tan are still available in 1 to 2 days, while the red leather cover seems to be the most popular or at lease elusive, with a 3-4 week shipping wait.

LOL @Pooch way to bitch-slap that automated slave.
PREPPED TO SHIP! YES!!
order: 16Gb Black Wifi, engraved
time: 4:01am EST
status: very excite
My Digital AV adapter has shipped (from where, I don't know)
1 of 2 Smart covers has shipped from Sacramento -- it is on truck for delivery, today
1 of 2 Earphones has shipped from China
AppleCare and non-iPad items all shipped.
... That leaves 2 iPads.... Sigh!
On a fluke, waited for about an hour at the Brentwood, CA. Target. They handed out tickets earlier in the day, and started selling at 5:00. I was 3rd in line waiting for no-shows (after 6:00).
Others in line said the local stores were all gone -- ATT had none, Wal-Mart a few, BestBuy a few.
The Target only had 15.
... Just checked Target -- no shipment today -- yet!

my expectations when reading this blog are very low, and you guys never cease to fail to meet even those expectations. where the hell did you learn to write? oh, you didn't.
has begun?
what's begun? the reports? or the shipments?
and what the hell else beside a delivery date would a delivery estimate communicate, the length of an apple? welcome to the department of redundancy department.
i laughed so hard i couldn't even get past the first sentence. it's a good thing you only report on computers and not repair them. flame on.
Hello pot, you seem to be calling the kettle "black".
Lack of capitalization, missing punctuation and poor grammar, litter your diatribe.
Back on topic now. I was one of the first to order online and still no shipment notification. I really don't anticipate one until Monday though, with delivery on Thursday or Friday.
I ordered mine at 12:53 AM Friday PST. It has shipped and on its way for anticipated delivery by Thursday.
It's currently in Shenzhen, China.
I stood in line at Apple Store near Boulder Colorado for two hours. At 5:05 announced that they had no AT&T iPads left. Went home and ordered online: I got slated for April 1ship date with Apriln6 delivery. :-(

I ordered mine at 1:20 PST. No notification yet. I had mine engraved as well. Anyone know where the engraving takes place? Is it China? California???
My HDMI AV adapter shipped from China on Friday. My black smart cover has not shipped. I ordered at 2:48am central time. Both my 64gb wifi and the av adapter are scheduled to arrive on the 17th.

I believe the engraving is done in China.
