Apple's Online Canadian Store shows shipping times for iPad 2 at 2 to 3 weeks. And yet, I received the following email from listener Greg:

Ken,

First, great show. I catch it every morning on the drive into work.

Second, wanted to pass on what appears to be a slip in iPad 2 shipping dates for online orders in Canada.

We ordered an iPad 2 on March 26. Quoted shipping dates were 3-4 weeks when ordered, so should have shipped between 4/15 and 4/22. Yeah, we should have ordered earlier in the day, but what can I say.

Anyway, we got an update from Apple indicating that the ship date had slipped to 5/2. Hard to understand how quoted shipping times in the US and the rest of the world appear to be getting shorter, but actual shipping times, at least in this case, appear to be getting longer.

Wondering if any of your other listeners are seeing slips in their actual ship dates for their online iPad 2 orders.


Have another great show tomorrow,
Greg

Not sure what the discrepancy is about. Thanks to Greg for pointing out the oddity.
