How is this even possible?

I take fedex tracking with a gallon of salt. Lately I get a date and the item does not show up. last one was something from ebay showed it was picked up and was scheduled for 4 days. then it vanished. lost in limo and it only showed a label was made.

This^^ It appears to be coming from China, and going to Minnesota.

Ok, you and the poster who said it was going over China. The shippment *originated* in China and is already in TN. The OP is puzzled as to how the package can get from TN to MN by tomorrow at 10.30. Not from CN (china) to MN. And where CA came up from.. who knows..

Do any of you actually read anything with a little bit of concentration? And it's 'plane'.. not 'plain'

How will it be delivered tomorrow by 10:30 AM? Well, thats for Fedex to know and you to find out ;).

Seriously, the tracking system is always 3-5 hours late. Also, Fedex will probably fly your package from Tennessee, if they have that deadline.

I know it originated in China and is in Tennessee now. IDK where Ca came from. And yea, I misspelled plane. I could make excuses about being tired, but yea, that was a stupid mistake.

I was just saying that a plane would get it from TN to MN by tomorrow morning.
 
Aww, apparently it is stuck in customs in Tennessee. This really sucks, but I guess I might be getting my $10 for 2-3 day shipping back.
 
Well guys, apparently it's stuck in customs and might not be here until new years. This really sucks. How do I go about getting a refund on 2-3 day shipping
 
When I bought my MBA, it was delivered by UPS. According to UPS' site, it arrived to Finland at 8am on Friday morning. In the afternoon I called UPS and asked can I come and pick it up since it should already be in Finland but it's not going to be delivered until Monday. The guy said those scans are just "assumptions" and that my package is still in Denmark (although according to their site it had already been in Sweden and now in Finland) and it won't arrive to Finland before Monday morning.

At least I have lost my faith toward those tracking systems. WTF are they putting them there if they are not real? Before the guy said my package was in Denmark, I even thought about asking that has it even left China yet :rolleyes:

I don't know is this the case with FedEx but I thought I would share my piece of experience

2-3 day shipping isn't really guaranteed if you are shipping close or the shipping window falls in between a holidays, like New Years. Hard lesson that was I had.

FedEx's main hub is in Memphis, so overnight from there to anywhere is no issue. If you can overnight something from NYC to LA, it can certainly make it from Memphis to Minnesota overnight. It's kind of interesting to be anywhere near the Memphis airport late at night...it's FedEx planes lined up on approach for a while...they all land get unloaded, stuff gets sorted and reloaded, and the planes all take back off again for the destination.

Then again, this thread is more than a day old, and your stuff is still sitting there. That is odd...it's not like it's the first iPad to come through!

Or drive on I-70 past the Indianapolis airport (their secondary hub) during the day to see all of the FedEx planes sitting there. I think they mostly do their flying at night so during the day they're parked out on the tarmac, it's a pretty neat sight if you're into aviation.
 
I had a similar "moment" today, looking at my tracking on my phone and it says "Left Fresno, California". And then I see "Ontario, CA" and I thought it meant Ontario Canada. Well, turns out I forgot to read the rest of the formatted line that said ",US". I paid for overnight and it was held a day late, it doesn't bother me too much but I'm going to send an email just to give them a heads up.
