I ordered the new iPad third gen on the 8th of March and I set it to pick up on the 16th of March (when the device is released to the public) at a local Apple store. My question is, it is faster to have it shipped to my house? Which one will get the device in my hands the quickest? Thanks!

And also, please no mindless bashing of Apple or the iPad. I can do what I wish with my money, and I will just ignore any answers that are useless or rude.
