Usually when Apple sends me an email with a tracking number I can go right in. Obviously if Apple has cut off shipments for that day it is not an ordinary day and it will take time to get them in the system. It will be interesting when someone is able to get a date from UPS what it will say. Can't imagine the volume a million iPads in their boxes inside another cardboard box would take up.
Actually I looked again and delivery starts on the 30th, tomorrow so I presume after midnight before I can track. It must be here in the states already, so you think.
It doesnt sound like anyone will get before the third. I notice some of the forums are implying that they are already being held up so they are not sent out before the third.
