Those of you who got their shipments today (Saturday) - did your tracking show "out for delivery" or did your shipment just show up unexpected?

Also what company was it with, UPS or Fedex (or other)?

Good question..anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

My 64GB ATT finally moved from HK last night, showing its next UPS scan in Louisville. It arrived in Oakland, CA for arrival, with a "destination scan" at 9:30 AM this morning.

I live across the bay, so still hoping for delivery today. Tracking still shows on time for Monday delivery, so I kinda doubt it will show up today.

When it comes to things like this, I have the patience of a spoiled child on Dec. 24.

Ahh but you were supposed to get it yesterday anyway. My delivery says Monday by 12pm so it for sure won't be coming today.

@dandrewk: I'm the same, I know I should be patient but knowing it's actually here but not here so frustrating.

I called Apple and got my express fee reimbursed, not exactly express shipping if people with standard shipping are getting it before me.
 
Yeah I'm guessing it was delivered today because it didn't move at all yesterday. Still sucks that some standard shipping orders arrived earlier, so I'm still going to call and try and get that express charge credited.

Edit: wow! I just called, she immediately apologized and without hesitation refunded me the shipping fee, then said she'll also take of $25 from the ipad price for inconvenience! This is why I will always be a loyal apple customer, they have the best customer service out there!

Those of you who received rMinis via UPS: Was a signature -required-?

I usually get Apple stuff via FedEx, and a signature was always required. But I don't see any indication on my UPS tracking that a signature is needed. I do have the "pre-sign" option on the Apple website, but I'm wondering if it will be required.
 
32gb Tmobile finally preparing for shipment after so long! Any idea how long will it take for me to get the shipping number?

I haven't got my rMini yet but I've got a lot of Apple products via UPS and always had to sign for them. Everything from iPhones to chargers etc. Every one required a witnessed signature.

Me too, for my 32GB Wifi White ordered on Nov. 12. No movement at all on the UPS site. Very frustrating!

It also shows a deliver by date of Nov. 19 (Tuesday).
 
iPad Mini Retina 64 GB WiFi Space Grey

I ordered this morning at Apple.com website for:

- - - > :apple: iPad Mini Retina - 64 GB WiFi Space Grey :)

:D ;) :p

I also order the: Blue iPad Mini Smart Cover (along with my new iPad)!

--------------

THIS WILL BY MY FIRST iPAD EVER!!! (LONG TIME WAITING...) :eek:
 
I wouldn't be too concerned (yet) if your rMini seems to be "stuck" in Hong Kong. Mine was like several other shipments - it stayed there for days, but then suddenly was in Louisville. UPS just doesn't stay current with their scans and online tracking.

If they miss their promised delivery date, then start worrying. And calling.

I'm new here. I'm part of the "lucky" bunch whose iPad mini retina still has the Hong Kong date for the last 3 days. I called UPS & they told me the shipment still has a deliver date of 11 /19. I'm skeptical. UPS says status is not always updated in a timely manner. WTF. Isn't that part of their job? Sorry irrational rant over.

You will be surprised as fast it will move. If they say the 19th you will get it Tues.

Understood, and feel your pain.

For me, it went from "arrival scan" in Hong Kong, directly to "import scan" in Louisville.

Yeah, they don't always scan. Don't be surprised if the next update you see is "out for delivery".
 
So, I track my package and it magically shows up in Houston Texas this morning - Saturday 5am. It is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday in the Houston Texas area.
I call Fedex to see if I can come get it from any of their holding facilities and sadly, they say no. It's here and I have to wait 3 days. It took less time to get here from China than it will take them to put it on a truck for delivery. :(

Does your tracking info say it's at a "destination sort facility?"! If so it is still in a crate and has to be sorted and sent to your local sort faculty which will eventually show up in your tracking. Once it's there it can be released. I was I. The same boat. Mine is at the destination sort facility and is set for delivery Tuesday. I know where my local sort facility is and have picked up a few packages there before. I am guessing it should be transferred there Monday and chose to have it held there for pickup.

I'm sure you're right. It's embarrassing how antsy I am about receiving it. :eek:

I assumed what you said. But the rep I got was firm in saying it will deliver Tuesday morning and that there was NO WAY to pick it up before Tuesday. The only thing I could do was request local pick up, which would have kept it in the facility to pick up the day after intended delivery-thus adding a day instead if shaving a day.
I moved a vacation day at work and am gonna sleep in on Tuesday.
My brain hurts.

This is what a CSR does: reads from a script. They will parrot the company line. They aren't paid to be flexible or to think on their feet (or butts).

If your package shows it at your local facility and is not on the truck Monday, go there. Bring your tracking number and ID. I've done this many times.
