Delivery Exception, Fedex lies!

Glad you got it taken care of, I was nervous for you!

I have the full name of the person who they delivered it to originally (they signed for it). I should send them for a thank you for returning it!

Here is what mine says:

Estimated delivery Mar 17, 2012 by 3:00 PM

Mar 16, 2012 8:13 AM - On FedEx vehicle for delivery - ISSAQUAH, WA
Mar 16, 2012 8:00 AM - Delivery exception - ISSAQUAH, WA - Future delivery requested

I am PISSED! I leave for a flight to Arizona today and I will be away from my family for the longest time in 8 years. I wanted the new iPad for movies and to Facetime with them. Now I will have my crappy little phone and that's it. I have to be AT the airport at 5:30PM.

Apple said "delivers by the 16th" and I won't get it until the 17th most likely. Very frustrated. I know I am cutting it close but for FedEx to delay an entire day is NOT acceptable.

Same here. It amused me that FedEx kept all iPads in their warehouse but failed to deliver on-time to customers.

It's my first iPad launch that I didn't wait in-line and that's the result.

I'm sorry for you.

Sounds like ours are in the same facility. Here's where mine stands:

Destination: BELLEVUE, WA
Estimated delivery: Mar 17, 2012 by 3:00 PM

Mar 16, 2012 8:00 AM - Delivery exception - ISSAQUAH, WA - Future delivery requested
Mar 16, 2012 7:23 AM - At local FedEx facility - ISSAQUAH, WA

At least yours is on a vehicle, I'm sure they'll get delivered today, maybe just after 3PM (but their system is probably designed to display that as tomorrow by 3PM).

I'm in Sammamish (which practically overlaps with Issaquah) and I got the same "exception." I gave FedEx a ring, was placed on hold for a couple of minutes, and the rep let me know that "all of these shipments will be attempted today" and that they've "notified the drivers to ignore the future delivery request."

Considering I didn't even mention it was an iPad and the rep referred to my package as "all of these shipments," I'm assuming more than a few folks called about this. There's only a limited number of activity codes, so the "delivery exception" may be FedEx trying to manage all of the deliveries and that's just what happened to populate the field. At least that's what I'm hoping since I'm waiting here at home...
