International iPad Orders Arriving Early in Droves
Image from forum member J R R
While the iPad's first batch of international launches in nine new countries is not scheduled until tomorrow, a significant number of customers are reporting that their pre-orders are arriving today. The United Kingdom in particular has seen a lot of activity, with customers' delivery progress being tracked in this extensive thread. Both UPS and TNT are handling iPad deliveries in the UK today.

Today's shipments represent those orders placed very soon after Apple began taking pre-orders, as shipping estimates quickly slipped from the May 28th launch to dates in early June. Customers looking to order an iPad online in the new international launch countries are currently faced with a vague shipping estimate of "June". Consequently, those not wishing to wait for online orders to ship at this point should probably try to snag one from the undoubtedly scarce supplies headed for Apple retail stores and other third-party retailers tomorrow.

Well I live on the Isle of Man these days and as per UPS are in NO rush to get here!!!!!!
I bought a new MBP in the last refresh and it took 11 days to get here from China so i'll probably get it Friday next week, even though it's been sitting in Preston since 0600!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish Europe would gets Apple products at the same time as USA. If iPhone are not ready at the same time, I will be pissed and send an angry email message to Steve :D

This is normal. Everything in the UK gets delivered the day before due to its so easy to deliver. Happens with everything.

UPS tried to deliver mine today, but no one was in. My housemate would've been in if they'd waited an extra 20 minutes too. Bugger! :(
Still, I was expecting it tomorrow anyway, so will just have to wait as planned...
