    Ordered a 16GB black wifi Mini on the 03/12. Got email notification this morning (10/12) that its shipped! Only a week between order and shipping when the site said 'ships in 2 weeks' and I had a provisional delivery date of 20/12. Apple site says delivery should be by 14/12 :)

    Have one on the way that should be delivered by the 14th too. As far as know apple wont deliver them by Christmas now. The last day has passed and if you order now they give you can expected date of January 2nd. You could chance it but no guarantees.

    Think the shipping time depends solely on the iPad mini configeration.
    I ordered a 16GB white on the 28th of November and only just shipped
    from Shanghai!

    iPad mini was supposed to be delivered today but according to TNT there seems to be some delay with it. Tracking isn't the best.

    I tried a lot of stores in Ireland and a copule in the UK but all were out of stock and did not know when the iPad mini would be available again. I took a chance to order from the apple store (4th Dec) and was given a delivery date of 28th Dec but I ordered it anyway.
    Today 12th Dec I received a shipment notification confirming delivery on or before Dec 19th:D

    Perhaps product is starting to appear again,

    Yes but all you had to do was look at the TWO other threads on the same issue.

    Oh yeah...nice first posts on this site. You'll really fit in with that attitude...

    "Connection Delay. Recovery Actions Underway" is what they're giving me. Glad I ordered well in advance as its a christmas present. Wouldn't like it to happen closer to the date. :D

    Arrived in Dublin at 9:04am but doesnt say it will be delivered today. You would imagine
    they would try to get a delayed shipment delivered as quickly as possible, have to wait and see

    Well you could give it a try, if you order online you can cancel up to the moment your order status says "preparing for shipment". (Use your apple ID when you order, it's easier to cancel if you do).
    While you wait for apple to ship you can try and get it elsewhere, if you do you just cancel the online order...

    Mine arrived 9.07 and it's out for delivery now since about 10.15. Seems both of ours were on the same pallet so yours will most likely be out for delivery too.

    Because of the Christmas/New Years though. Expect delays on anything you order.

    Hi there,

    I am wanting to buy an iPad Mini for my son for Christmas. I went into Compub yesterday and they said that they were completely out of stock and had been for a while and didn't know when they were going to get anymore. SO... I thought about getting it of the Apple website but it says it has a 2-3 week shipping time and then 1-3 working days to get here. Does it actually take that long or are they just saying that. Does anybody have any clue how long it actually takes!
    Thanks it would be a great help.

    Getting your hands on an iPad mini this close to Christmas will be difficult as its very new tech. (well its outdated tech, but "new" from apple with added spit shine and fancy marketing)

    2-3 week shipping time means they wont be able to ship it for 2-3 weeks. and itll take 1-3 days for it to be delivered after its shipped.

    You'd be extremely lucky to find an iPad Mini for Xmas at this stage. Even suppliers to retail stores are out of them with limited stock due in within the next week.

    You'll have to be lightning fast to pick one up in a bricks n' mortar shop.

    iPad mini delivered today by TNT. Original expected delivery date when I ordered was the 14th (tomorrow) so it arrived a day early. Could have been 2 days early only for delays on TNT's behalf.

    That's right, no fecking mini's at all.

    All shops I phoned don't have any and don't know when they will have them in, that's just incredible! Apple.ie can't delivery untill after Christmas! Ireland really gets the **** end of the stick when it comes to foreign shops operating in Ireland.

    Update,

    Got a text today stating delivery 20th dec, which im very happy about, as they said 31st dec when i ordered it and that's with engraving included.:)

    After the order ships you usually get the billing document 2-3 days later. Most orders i've gotten in the past came direct from England. So I used to have the order delivered before I was even charged.

    But this iPad mini was coming from Shanghai so it took 6 days. And I got the documents around 3 days ago. It's completely normal. You'll get the iPad mini tomorrow as expected.

    I ordered mine on November 26th and only got it yesterday. So perhaps you'll have it tomorrow. I had delays with mine due to TNT so don't get too worried yet.
