Feb 12 delivery date!!?

[volntitan]

I'm sure the message will change. It surprised me because I'm in Nashville, so to see it is saying it is in Nashville and scheduled for a 3/12 delivery. Nashville isn't a major Fed Ex hub at all, so little weird.

The most important thing is STAY CALM.

Dont let the jealous ruin your excitement. I hope you get it on the 12th so you can share how awesome it is. Congrats!

My order is in Nashville as well and shows an estimated delivery date of March 12, 2012 by 3pm. However, in the "details" section of the Nashville pickup confirmation line it says "Future delivery requested".

I know that Apple typically works with carriers to deliver release products on a specific date, although with the mass quantity being shipped out here are a few that are bound to slip through the cracks. I'm guessing anyone who has the "future delivery requested" note on their order will end up waiting until March 16 though.

Here's what it looks like for those who have nashville.

I think the "future delivery requested" in the note line means apple has asked them to hold off on delivery until a specified date.

I'm guessing they just forgot to change the overnight delivery date to that future delivery date (16th) and left it for the next normal shipping day (Monday).

these systems are set up to estimate a delivery date based on where it is and other factors, they are not accounting for the fact that Apple have requested them be held, it will either continue to estimate that date and still not arrive until the 16th or, the date will keep changing each day it doesn't leave.

Did we agree to not being able to have our product until the 16th? I don't remember agreeing to that. Seems to me that this should be illegal. We paid for a product and apple turned it over to FedEx. We should have access to our product as soon as possible.

Any lawyers in the house?

yes, when you ordered it, it explicitly stated 'Delivers March 16th' and you placed your order, therefore agreeing with those terms.

Now my tracking says in transit but has a couple do delivery exceptions and delivery date says 3/16 instead of 3/12. So looks like they are here in Nashville but holding on to them. Wonder if there is a way to just pick them up...

I know I'll get it by the 16th I was only surprised that they quoted a march 12th delivery date. Ive only used ups and I know they're very accurate with their dates

It looks like you just got the default shipping time for a pkg from China to US. I wouldn't hold your breath about getting it on the 12th. Apple will already have instructed Fedex to hold all shipments until 16th. Expect to see another scan once it arrives in North America stating pkg held for Future Delivery!

 

[PCClone]

Got the same message. Was excited that it would come on Monday, but then saw the future delivery date. However, with the iPad 2, people got then. Day or two early.

 

[Snesley Wipes]

Did you choose the 11 month shipping option?

Am I the only one who thinks this is friggin hilarious?!

 

[Steve~Jobs]

I would say go to the FedEx facility and try picking it up.

Yes, you are.

 

[NiKeZz]

My order is still in, "preparing for shipment" with the estimated delivery date of March 16th. Am I going to be receiving that late or should I not be worried? I figured it would have shipped out by now.
