Some iPad UK preorders have been popping through letter boxes a day early according to reports across the web and a loyal Electricpig reader has confirmed that she’s got hers ahead of schedule. Anne says: “Just to let anyone waiting for an iPad through Apple, TNT just showed up with mine! Ordered it on 10th May. Sadly I’m now off to work so can’t even try it!” If your iPad UK preorder has arrived early, hit the comments and let us know your first impressions.

Thanks for the tip off Anne!

Out tomorrow | From £429 | Apple

  • Al Green

    Mine arrived via UPS at 11am today, stuck in work :(

    Early finish for me!!

  • Jules

    I live outside Belfast and TNT delivered it just before 11am. Wow, it feels just I thought it would…it’s a cold day here and when I took it straight out of the box it felt really cold, lovely shiny metal back, you just wanna keep holding it. I am currently downloading most up to date version of iTunes to try and get it up and running, it’s taking forever…….

  • Ravs

    Mine arrived at 9:00AM this morning…still got to try it…currently stuck at work :(

  • miko

    Mine arrived this morning, at work though so cant use it until I get home as it seems to need to synch to itunes before it will do anything else :-(
    Even the box it came in has a strange feel of quality to it. Cant wait to try out. Other good thing is apparently the BBC are releasing an ipad app for bbc iplayer tomorrow.

      Hi Miko – I know how you must be feeling. The end of the day can’t come soon enough! There won’t be an iPlayer app, but the website should be optimized and working fine for the iPad by tomorrow.

      • miko

        Thanks Ben :-)

  • Riaan

  • Patti

    A very nice TNT man brought mine about 11:30ish this morning.
    And I’ve gotta say it’s effing beautiful. I’d be typing with it now if it wasn’t synching.
    Enjoy yourselves peeps, your gonna love your new babie.

  • Mafaz

    my iPAD’s come too, at 2pm, live in Sheffield, so excited… I’m staring at the shiny on screen, feels so surreal holding it. Compared it with the size of my iTouch, its atleast 8 times bigger yet feels so small and mobile… LOVING EVERY SECOND OF HAVING IT!!!

  • Charlotte

    OMG…just received mine about an hour ago…it’s amazing. As good as I hoped and more.
    Got mine with TNT

  • Gareth

    Absolutely incredible :-)

  • Adam

    Mine arrived at my central Manchester office at 10:30 this morning. Finally managed to leave to go home and play!

  • Simon Shield

    I am sat outside UPS depot waiting for van to return.
    I would have stayed at home if they had told me the delivery was today.

    • http://www.electricpig.co.uk Ben Sillis

      Oh no! Good luck, I know how annoying couriers can be!

  • George M

    Well GUESS WHAT…………. the TNT delivery guy showed up at 5pm, saying ‘sorry, there should be two parcels but I don’t have one of them for some reason’. TNT claims the HQs have it but it was not delivered to the local depot.

    SO NOW I’M STUCK WITH THE iPad CASE AND SIMCARD BUT -WITHOUT- THE DEVICE!!!

    Anyone else experienced this?!?

    • http://www.electricpig.co.uk Ben Sillis

      Don’t you hate Sod’s law? It’s so cruel. We hope it turns up soon George!

    • http://www.gravatar.com James Holland

      *gulp* – sounds like a few frantic phone calls are in order. I had a similar experience with the last iPhone – the couriers “lost” it for a few days, and it turns out one of the delivery peeps they fired had taken it home with her!

  • Kerry

    Really fed up – tracked iPad this morning, spoke to TNT, they said it would definitely be delivered by 6pm today, Waited in all day 6.30pm now – no iPad delivered and TNT are now not there to answer the phone… :-(

  • Rich Owen

    Arrived at 3pm today. Just opened it now. Had a problem chasing TNT for it as I was left a sorry you were out notice. Thankfully the delivery guy turned up again two hours later after I called them and asked him to try again, otherwise I was going to go to the local depot after 8pm to pick it up.

  • Eager Beaver

    Got mine at 12:30 here in Halifax. Gobsmackingly great device. BBC iPlayer now works perfectly on wide bandwidth connection, full screen, high resolution. Just google bbciplayer big screen (or summat similar) Then drop a shortcut icon onto home page for future use – perfect. So glad I pre-ordered now. It must have cost apple a packet to ship them individually direct from Shenzen. Full marks to them for getting them to us as fast as possible IMO!

  • Eager Beaver

    It’s a great product for sure but am certainly looking forward to the V4 firmware update later this year. It still carries a few of the iPhone v3 niggles such as clunky email when using multiple accounts. But overall, a world beater, truly. The screen is superb. The battery seems to just go on and on. Don’t forget to get the Google voice recognition app and Shazam. Both are incredible IMO.

  • JB

    Picked mine up this morning at 8.30 from TNT’s depot in Cannock. Got it synced up straight away but it wouldn’t activate the sim card. Spoke to o2 and was told it probably isn’t activating because the o2 system will only let the sims be activated starting tomorrow because that’s the official launch date.

    Other than that it, it’s brilliant.

  • bill tom
