Are you buying the iPad 2?

So heres my ipad update, it was shipped on the 17th, but was stuck (as usual it seems) in EPZ, China and the original delivery date disappeared, I spoke to UPS last night and they only told me it was in customs with no certain date when it would be released or delivered. I just spoke with Apple Technical Support, and they contacted UPS for me and found out it will be through customs today (i hope thats true), with a delivery date of this thursday, the 23rd, luckily if it delivers that day i will be able to be home to receive it. As I have seen on previous posts that had this same issue on the apple ipad 2 shipping forum thread, the apple technical support person offered me free accessories, and i asked if i could get even just a discount on a new battery for my early 2008 macbook pro 15", they checked and were able to get me the battery and a camera connection kit for FREE! which in total is worth $150 dollars in free accessories. I know it doesnt make up for the delay, but it sure helps. I will update as it progresses.
mine has arrived in anchorage finally!

Just spoke with UPS and apple, now i know why you guys that have the shipments still in china or anchorage... they wont release the shipment without the ENTIRE shipment there, so even though it has cleared customs in China, it apparently has to clear customs here too, meaning a possible 4 MORE days. The apple support technician kept saying "we cant do anything till its late (the delivery date on my apple shipping notice is June 23rd (tomorrow)) and then we have to wait 3 business days to launch an investigation, we work vigorisly with the carrier to make sure all packages are delivered". I am tired of freaking delays! I hate UPS!
delivered well before the 28th June and 1st July estimated dates!
