Apple wasn't kidding when he said that he registered a very large number of pre-orders for his new iPad tablet and as proof is the large number of people who they noticed that the ordered tablet will no longer be delivered on March 16 but later due to the very large number of packages that need to be delivered. UPS and FedEx are the American companies that deliver Apple products to customers and it seems that the large number of orders made by users would cause problems in certain areas of the USA and the packages sent by Apple would reach users during the day today, with almost one day delay in some cases.
As the third-generation iPad makes its way into the hands of eager customers worldwide, some buyers who pre-ordered the tablet through Apple's online store are finding that their shipments have been delayed due to the onslaught of launch day deliveries. AppleInsider has received a number of reports from readers who have noted that their iPad pre-orders, which were promised to be delivered on launch day, are being delayed until as late as Saturday.
The very large number of pre-orders has the effect not only of a delay in the delivery of the products but also a reduction in the number of people queuing in front of Apple stores. This year, much fewer people gathered in front of the company's stores in Cupertino, and all because people preferred to order online and wait for the product at home. Unlike other years, Apple seems to have had many more units available for its customers and this can be seen very easily because in the company's stores there are still enough tablets available for those who want to make a purchase.
