The new iPad is ready for delivery

If you have been waiting today for your iPad, you have probably noticed it is quite late. Time in the UK is almost 15:30 and there are no signs of a UPS truck…

Cult of Mac explains the reason behind this:

“You see, to ensure that your iPad isn’t delivered before its launch date, Apple has it sent to Syncreon for safekeeping until the courier company is ready to take over. The day before its release (today!), Syncreon hands over your parcel. So although it’s “out for delivery,” it’s not being delivered to your house; it’s simply being delivered to the courier company”

Yesterday if you tried to track your iPad on the UPS website, it seemed like your parcel didn’t even exist. Apple has updated the tracking numbers on the Store account section and you should see a different number when clicking on “Track shipment”.

That number should work on the UPS website! Make sure you keep track of your awesome new iPad (we know you will).

We’ll keep you posted!
