Mine is on the exact same flights as yours. Do you think we will see it sooner than Wed?

I certainly hope so; it's definitely possible. If we get onto the flight to Memphis in 30mins we'd be there by midnight tonight. From Memphis, I'm 1 days transit for FedEx ground while yours could be flown to Chicago either Sunday night or Monday morning. SO, I guess we can hope for either Monday/Tuesday delivery.

But, if the rumors about FedEx simply taking its time just to not get the package shipped too early are true, then we are screwed...
 
I just went "Prepared for Shipment". I didn't expect to reach this state until at least Monday morning because I just ordered it two days ago. It appears that either the factory is indeed working over the weekend (likely) or there is a large delay in updates to Apple's order tracking system (unlikely).

So now my big question is whether or not it will be on FDX90 ZSPD-KMEM Monday morning (if they're even using that flight for MBP shipments) or if it will be on Tuesday's ZSPD-PANC FDX28. Or maybe it'll end up on some other flight? I'll have to do some more FlightAware digging to see if I can turn up something psycos hasn't (although I'm not holding my breath on that, he seems to be very thorough).

One thing's for sure, it looks like Wed or Thr is a reasonable guess for my delivery. :D

Experience has taught me that none of the above matters till it clears customs in the USA. I waited while my mid 2009 MBP CTO sat in customs for 10 days last year.

The good news is this time it cleared customs in about an hour. So _NOW_ I can count on it arriving on Tues 20th as listed.

Int'l shipment release
ANCHORAGE, AK

Hoping it either made FDX84 or will make FDX16 in 45mins

Mine was "released" at 12:58pm but didn't make either of those flights. Did yours? I think our best hope now is FDX26 at 5:30pm, but it gets into Memphis at 2:30am -- however, since it's a Sunday, not sure if that really makes a difference.
 
How are you guys tracking the shipments? I haven't seen any flight information anywhere.

We're just guessing based upon publicly available flight info and our tracking info.. There's no way to really know for sure what flight it is/was on.

Yea same here, didn't make them. FDX26 it is then! lol
No it won't make any difference if it does get on the FDX26 because MEM has a bunch of flights that leave post 3am to the local destinations...
 
On it's way somewhere.. Probably about to take-off on FDX26 to Memphis. Yay!

Hmmm, I have nearly identical timestamps, but no confirmation of arrival in alaska yet. Hmmm......guess FedEx is slow to update me?

For anyone whose MBP doesn't have a departure from Anchorage yet, looks like they've added another flight onto today (for a total of 5 flights to Memphis, which seems unusual given the recent history -- wonder if there's that many MBP pros that they needed more planes!).. Anyways, still hope for those on the ground with the new FDX76 to Memphis.

What's really odd is that yours isn't even showing the arrival or an Int'l shipment release, which would seem to indicate that it still hasn't crossed the Pacific.. However, as I just posted, looks like they've added another flight to Memphis leaving in 3 hours, so there's still a chance for it to get out tonight if it comes in on some other flight from Shanghai -- just not sure what flight that would be as there's nothing en-route or scheduled to depart soon for FedEx from Shanghai.

Did you go standard or expedited shipping? What's FedEx saying your estimated delivery date is? Mine is showing Tuesday the 20th, and I chose expedited.
 
What's the difference between the UPS and FedEx shipments? I keep hearing most everyone talk about FedEx, but mine was shipped UPS (expedited). I assume they are using both carriers?

I chose standard. Expected delivery Wednesday 21st. It is headed to MI. :(
 
Mine still has "Left Fedex Origin Facility" SHANGHAI, CN at 12:47 PM on April 17th. Below it says "Picked up", which says it missed the cutoff. Is my MBP still in China? If it is, when do you guys think it will leave, considering the status hasn't changed all day?
 
Did you get any arrival and release scans in Anchorage yet? What's your latest scan and time?

Here is a screenshot, it got through the international screening or what ever they call that.

I ordered the exact same config as you (i7, 8GB RAM, 15 HR glossy, 500GB 7200rpm) and I've had the same flights as you so far as well. Hopefully we'll both get the FDX76! :)

I think you have a chance of being on FDX76 since you cleared customs.. But the other posters who still don't have an arrival in Anchorage are most likely not going to see any movement on their order until Tuesday when the next FedEx flight from Shanghai to Anchorage lands in Anchorage. Despite seeming like a long time from now, it still allows a possibility for Wednesday deliveries.

On a side note, I have a feeling that anything arriving in Memphis as of now will most likely be there until Monday at this point and then out for delivery as early as Tuesday. Although it'd be great to be proven wrong on this and see some Monday deliveries.

This thread makes me feel so normal. I thought I was as OCD as it gets - otherwise why would I have even found this thread :) But you guys take it to a new level!:eek:
