How long do our computers sit in Alaska? Mine landed about an hour ago there are two more flights outs to Memphis (247 and 316) and one to Indianapolis (337).
 
I just called FedEx...twice.Once to ask about where the heck it was, the other to see if I could intercept it tonight.

So the first call they told me it was enroute to my zip code, and seemed to infer it was in Washington. The second time I called I was told it was still in Memphis.


FedEx needs to get their sh** together and have some common lingo in their company seriously. Is enroute from Memphis or enroute from SeaTac?

FedUp indeed!
 
Mine was on the direct from china to memphis flight as well. My delivery date is tomorrow morning before 1030. im dying here!
 
Confused

I have a little problem I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with. Here goes: I ordered a 13" MPB 2010 and a laptop sleeve on the 23:rd, everything in the same order. Four days later I got information that it was now being sent to me from somewhere (all I could go on was Merge In Tnst NL).

Now here comes the part that I don't understand: Earlier today when I looked at my orders I could see both my items (duh), on the MPB it said that it will deliver on the 18th and on the sleeve it said nothing, just a "Track order"-button. So far so good. Disappointed that I'd have to wait a few more weeks I press the button, assuming that I will now track the delivery of the sleeve. The next page tells me that the order is now in Europe and being handled by TNT with an estimated delivery on the 6th. Still thinking that it must be the sleeve I scroll down the page a little and it says that the articles in the order is, you guessed it, the MPB and the sleeve.

So, what does it mean? Is it just telling me what I've ordered and that it in fact is only the sleeve that's cruising around the Netherlands, or is it the first page giving me the wrong information meaning that I won't have to wait weeks for my MBP?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm jealous. It looks to me like they actually know what's happening with your package. Here's mine

WTF?? Yours is flying in circles, it's back in Alaska again then back to Kentucky again. It must be lodged somehere or someone on board is enjoying your MacBook. I'll be pissed if that was my package bumped around constantly... better inspect it upon your receipt. Mine is now sitting in Kentucky, next stop is final destination Toronto Pearson Airport.
 
Arrrgh! This is frustrating. My MBP has been sitting in Memphis for over 15 hours and nothing has happened. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, May 5th, by 10:30 am. This whole shipment has been a pain. First it missed the cut off date Friday in China and sat until it shipped Monday. Now it has been sitting in TN for over 15 hours. I live in CA and paid for 2 day shipping. This sucks! I thought it would go through AK since I live in CA.

I'm in the same boat man, same boat -- and it is sinking fast.

I feel your pain brother.
 
If I don't get my computer by tomorrow I may ask for my money back on the Expedited shipping.

This is why next day shipping is always a waste of money with fedex. I know standard can be just as fast.
 
How long does it usually take the shipments to get to Memphis once they leave Shanghai? Mine just left Shanghai about 4 hours ago.

Then about how long from Memphis to Charlotte, NC? I've ordered 2 other MacBook Pros but can never remember the scheduling.

Are you sure? Mine landed in Memphis yesterday from China. Right now it is on flight FDX 906 fifteen minutes from San Diego Lindburgh field. There is also a fight this afternoon from Memphis to LA. See if you can puzzle it together on Flight Aware.

Nothing has been updated on FedEx via my tracking # :( Hopefully it is just a tracking "dead zone" but I am not too hopeful.
 
Last update was May 4, 2010 12:51 AM Int'l shipment Release Memphis, TN
Something is definitely wrong. Fedex tracking shows mine just entered the sort facility in San Diego. Yours should have been on the same plane. Perhaps a call to Fedex?
 
May 4, 2010 7:15 PM Arrived at FedEx location NEWARK, NJ
May 4, 2010 3:57 PM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN

Really hoping it reaches the Brooklyn facility tonight for AM delivery tomorrow
 
FedEx

Ok, I have been on the phone with FedEx and just looked at all the posts since last night. Here is the deal as I see it.

1. And most important. FedEx in the 50 states, doesn't fly during the day. As we all saw, stuff sat in Memphis most of the day before going out.

2. All of our computers should be delivered tomorrow before noon.

3. Memphis works around the clock and why they didn't work the bins last night for a delivery this morning is beyond me because if you check the posts on the 19-21 of this month you will see that Mem sent out some loads early morning for same day delivery (check Boston & Cambridge). That however was a load that went through customs in ANC first. Still doesn't make sense.

i.e ANC to MEM arrive in middle of the night (MEM time) then next flight out to Boston that early, early am, then on delivery truck to doorstep still before noon.

Bottom line is that unless you live in Canada and it has to transfer to UPS, almost all of us will have them in our hands before noon tomorrow.
 
how do you tell what flight your mbp is on?

my update says "Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN@ 3:26pm Memphis time"

i live in anaheim Ca and dont know what to look at! according to my shipping info it says that my package is 10.1 lbs! wtf is up with that?

*Sigh* I'm gonna believe you on this one. If I don't get mine prior to noon tomorrow I'm gonna spit on the window of my local FedEx/Kinkos or pee on their door handle at night.
