Call the final destination office asap and ask if you can pick it up there. If you don't like your answer call back on the next shift. Or 4-6 hours later and ask again.

I called customer service and they said to call tomorrow to see if itll be at final destination because if it is, itll be okay for me to pick it up tomorrow...cos the rep told me its going to Milwaukee airport, it just wasnt sure when its going to final destination so thats why I gotta call back tomorrow....but lets hope I can pick it up tomorrow! Its express...no reason why they gotta lag on all that.
 
I posted earlier about being frustrated that my package was 40 minutes away from me then detoured to Memphis.... well check this out...

Apr 18, 2010 12:14 AM Arrived at FedEx location OAKLAND, CA
Apr 17, 2010 7:08 PM Departed FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK

It's back in my state where it was earlier today!!! It's scheduled for Thursday delivery... who wants to bet its just going to ping pong back and forth between Memphis and Oakland...

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Yes, sometimes the locations load the data from the scanning devices at different times and can sometimes make the tracking data all weird. Your package won't go back and forth to any cities, trust me.
 
can anyone tell me when the fed ex planes take off from Shanghai? I thought i read someone say that only 1 leaves per day, what time usually?

my MBP just missed the saturday cut off, and has been stuck in china for the last 2 days...grumble.
 
So I ordered the 13" 2.66 with CTO 8GB saturday the 17th. Together with Aperture 3 upgrade, a sleeve and of course Applecare.

Guess what they did? They just shipped out everything but the MacBook Pro.
So 2 days from now, I'll be having fun with a sleeve, an applecare box and Aperture 3 Upgrade DVD. YAY!

Makes you wonder how much Apple wasted on shipping costs. I can't do anything with the extra's without the MacBook Pro, so why not ship it all at the same time? :confused:

It is going to be fun waiting for the expected delivery date of the 28th - 30th for the actual MBP...
 
Mine is still in Shanghai, with an estimated delivery date by 10:30 on Wednesday? Will it make it by then?

I originally had standard shipping but I called apple up and they changed it to 2 day shipping for free. Two hours later it went to "prepared for shipment" and then I got a tracking number later that night. Since it says it will deliver by 10:30, is it indeed 2 day shipping?

Just to let you I am in the same situation. Early Friday morning I called Apple and they upgraded my shipping to expedited for free. The woman I spoke to said that it would ship out of China on Monday and would be there be Wednesday morning. Not even two hours after I spoke to the customer service rep my MBP shipped. It has been sitting in Shanghai for the last two days. My package missed the cutoff on Saturday so I am guessing that it will ship out of there by Monday given that this is what the customer service rep told me! Given this, Seraphx I wouldn't worry about not receiving it on Wednesday even though it is still in China. My combined experience from the Fedex tracking info and the conversation I had with the customer service rep has given me no reason to believe that it will not be delivered on Wednesday.

[NOTE: Some people might call my reasoning nothing more than "wishful thinking";). To them I would respond: don't rain I my parade!]
 
hmm mine arrived at my local fedex - estimated delivery date is still thurs though so i guess we shall see. Arrived from memphis btw so if yours is there I would expect it soon :D
 
As you guys can see, my MBP is still stuck in FedEx in Shanghai...
I'm so sad.... :(

I ordered MBP 15.4/2.66/CTO w/ high-rez Antiglare LCD and 7200RPM HDD on April 13th 6:35 EST.

I also paid for faster delivery option. lol ($18.xx)

im in the exact same boat, with the exact same specs, except i ordered mine closer to 530est on the 16th what the hell??

Shipment information sent to FedEx
 
Sweet, I am thinking mine is on a truck from Memphis, but seeing as it is only an 8ish hour drive to Chicago from there it should be at the sort facility tonight, hopefully to me tomorrow!

I ordered the exact same machine as you on Tuesday night. Expedited shipping by UPS to Canada, but it's been in Shanghai since Friday. Hopefully things pick up for me tomorrow and I have it by Tuesday or Wednesday.

P.S. If you get yours before me, let me know what it's like! Top of the line specs and all ('cept SSD). This is my first mac and I went all out. I'm a little skeptical about the shear size and weight of the thing, but I figured the extra screen real estate and resolution would be worth it.
 
Yes, sometimes the locations load the data from the scanning devices at different times and can sometimes make the tracking data all weird. Your package won't go back and forth to any cities, trust me.

I'm in a similar situation myself. I was hoping I'd get my MBP a few days earlier than the estimated delivery. Is it going to be "theoretically" jumping around the country or will I get it early?
 
Anyway, from past experience, there is good chance that we could get it tomorrow, even though mine is marked for Wed, but I always get stuff from Apple the next day after it comes from AK, arrives in MEM and gets sent to me in STL, all overnight.

As a fellow St. Louisan I hope you're right haha. :D

Nevermind, just called FedEx customer service and found out that the package has arrived in Berkley, MO (at STL-Lambert airport location) and that I can pick it up tmmrw between 8-9:45am! :)
 
I feel kind of silly posting this because by the time I wake up to check for a response my MBP will (hopefully) have shipped by then. But I keep periodically seeing people posting 'mine has been in Prepared for shipment for days now' and I am getting nervous. are these people living in northern Europe? It is almost noon in Shanghai, if mine still says this does that mean it's not on a plane or could it just not be up-to-date? Thanks :)
 
I ordered on the 14th, and it's "Prepared for shipment". I bet the plane flying out of China is gonna have a ton of Macbooks on it
 
Hey guys so I have a question, I'm in Toronto and I am getting my mbp via expedited on UPS. Right now it says its shipped and in transit but the strange thing is
SHANGHAI, CN 17/04/2010 15:34 ORIGIN SCAN

17/04/2010 11:29 ORIGIN SCAN

CN 17/04/2010 3:17 BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

The estimated arrival date is the 20th but what I dont understand is, has it actually left china yet? Everyones progress has been with fed ex. I just fear since it hasn't left yet that i will not get it on the 20th. Anyone know if its actually shipped yet from that information? If it has and there is any possibility of me picking it up tomorrow I'd like to do that too.

Has your tracking updated yet? I thought mine would be in GA by now but the last tracking status is that it departed Memphis at 4pm. I'm hoping that the tracking update is just a little delayed or something.

Yea the tracking might be delayed; mine hasn't updated yet...

I've also got the same results.. There was a flight from MEM-ATL earlier, but it landed hours ago (like 6pm), so I'm thinking they must have put it on a truck to Atlanta. Nothing else would take 6+ hours to get here that way. While I've often had issues with delayed updates on UPS, FedEx has always been very up-to-the-minute with their tracking info in my experience. I'd assume there will be another scan of arriving somewhere in Atlanta between now and 6am. (Although using a truck is odd, as I read that anything over 200 miles goes on a plane)

Since I am in the same situation as you I thought I would post some hope. My mbp left Memphis for Denver at 3:10pm today showing that it left. I just called fedex 5 min ago and was told it is here in Denver but being held at the airport cargo area. My tracking information still says Departed Memphis.

Hopefully it will transfer to Aurora and be delivered tomorrow. Background: Ordered 13th at 6:50am, shipped out Friday night. Apparently with express shipping it is flying the whole way. Best luck - I have been reading every post and rumor since Christmas Day!

Edit: My tracking info still says delivery by Wed 21st at 10:30am
 
So my mbp has been in China since Friday.. missed the cutoff apparently.


Anyways, since I live in Washington state (Olympia about 60 miles south of Seattle) do you think I will get it rather quickly since I'm so closed to Alaska?

just got an update that mine is in Atlanta! I guess it was driven...
 
Yeah, my status has been on the same place for 20 hours so I think FedEx may only update the tracking sites maybe once a day or something. I'm getting tired of tracking my macbook pro.lol.
