Package received after FedEx cutoff

Shipment information sent to FedEx

So, how far did my package travel from
the origin facility to the local facility? Zero progress over 3 days :(
 
Mine too!!! About freakin' time. It's been in china just waiting for 3 days...

Looks like a bunch of us missed the cutoff last week and have been stuck in China for the weekend. Now it's almost Tuesday in China and our machines still haven't moved...curious. My delivery date is the 21st before noon...we'll see if they make that one.
 
US bound MBP stranded in Shanghai.

Mine too is stuck in China. Just sitting there. Hanging out in Shanghai.

Mine's on the fedex vehicle for delivery. I can't wait to get it in an hour, the fedex guy usually come's in at 10pm
 
Okay, I just remembered why I never deal with fedex

Delivery exception
HOUSTON, TXCustomer not available or business closed - Signature required

I have been in my living room reading since 8 am local time and just checked on update status. Door bell NEVER rang, and had he knocked at the door I would have heard it being merely 8 feet away. No door tag, so I'm calling ******** on the idea that customer was not available. He went to a totally wrong address must have.
 
Fedex just delivered my stock 13" 2.4. The original delivery date was the 21st. Time to finally retire my 6 year old 12" powerbook

Mine's right there as well. I hope it is having a good time. :)

I'm kind of surprised it hasn't left yet. I wonder if it is because I picked the free shipping option.

thats happened to me more times than i can even count, hate fedex...
 
Curiouser amd curiouser...I got a shipping notice shortly after midnight last night. As soon as I saw the email this morning I checked the FedEx tracking info and it showed:

Code:
Apr 19, 2010 10:49 AM    Left FedEx origin facility SHANGHAI CN

After getting to work I checked again and saw that there was an in transit record in the shipping system.

Judging from the history on this thread it looks like MBPs either go from Shanghai to Anchorage or from Shanghai to Guangzhou to Anchorage. The thing is FlightAware shows no FedEx flight that took off from Shanghai to Anchorage this morning. I assume this means my MBP is on its way to Guangzhou and from there it will go to Anchorage.

I guess technically it doesn't have to get to Anchorage until tomorrow since my tracking shows a delivery date of Wednesday, April 21. As long as it gets to Anchorage by tomorrow and clears customs it can get on FDX28 and arrive in Memphis 1:15AM on Wednesday. From there it can make the morning rounds of FedEx planes out to DFW and arrive early enough to get put on a truck for delivery Wednesday morning.

I just want to figure out what flight it's on from China to Anchorage, it must be my curious nature. :)
 
BAHAHAH, my dog escapes the fence, and my mom goes to look for him, in that time, fedex came and missed the signature, FML!!!!
 
Just gets better and better, NOT!

I ordered a MBP 15" 2.53 250 HD w/High Rez Matte and wire prepaid on 04/09/10 then received the following message on 04/13/10.

Since your order has not shipped, we have upgraded it to the new 15-inch
MacBook Pro at no extra charge.

So now they're sending me a 2010 MBP 2.4 320 HD i5 w/High Rez screen.
If you thought you were anxious, mines not yet shipped and has a delivery date of 16-22.
I'm so exited I'm having heart palpitations. :O

Kept checking order status and after 6 days of "NOT SHIPPED YET" I decided to call applestore.com.
After a 10 minute wait I was told that they had made a mistake and had my Prepaid Wire Transfer on hold, WHAT THE H_LL I received conformation from my bank that you had the money on the 10th of April. Hey Steve their are plenty of people needing jobs that actually know what they're doing.
So now they're giving me a free case that I'll probably receive before I get my MBP.
The way things are going I'll own the store before I get my product which is now projecting a delivery date of the 21st-27th.
Dang.
 
My CTO MacBook Pro Core i7 arrived at 9AM PST today -- one day earlier than the projected delivery date.

Ug. First two scans are identical; then some kind of exception has occurred for me. Guess I should call UPS, verify that it's not actually in Canada get back to work.

Just called UPS. She said, entry into Canada is the 22nd, expected delivery date is the 27th and thats with expedited.
BS! ugh.
