iPad mini iPad Mini with Cellular Pre-order Thread

So since the Minis will be in Memphis tonight, I wonder what the chances are of getting them sorted and put back on planes tonight to their destination cities?

Does anyone know if Fedex main hub works 24/7? Even if they don't get sent out for delivery tomorrow and are at the "local FEDEX facility", I'm sure you can go and pick it up.

Thoughts?

Tonight:
They will be unloaded, scanned, sorted,scanned again and loaded on trucks or sent to outgoing flight depending on your location.
 
Living in Memphis I actually took a tour of the FedEx hub and I would say if you can wait a day or two DO NOT cancel your order unless you have too. There is a slight chance that everything could change once they start scanning merchandise and doing their routing for the planes to other cities. At least wait until Thursday night late around 10:30 p.m. - 3:00 a.m. is when they unload and shuffle things around and reload to fly to other cities. I watch the planes every night almost fly over my house.

Gonna look up in the sky tonight and wonder if that's flight FX90 and FX98 coming over my house!

Here's wishing people luck and by in the morning shipping has changed to the 16th for everyone!

Good luck everyone!
 
Has anyone had their black mini LTE actually show up as black in their support profile? I know mine and a few others have mentioned their black units show up as white on that site, was curious if any show up correct?

Thanks for the hopeful info! For those who are thinking of canceling an order that's already shipped: you can't. You can refuse delivery, but it's too late to cancel the order with apple. FedEx will make at least one delivery attempt.

Here's hoping that we see our minis on Friday!
 
And for the really hard core plane tracking people since flight FX98 and FX90 or both within 20-25 minutes of Memphis now you can actually listen to ATC (Air Traffic Control) at this link.

http://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=kmem

Type KMEM in the top left and then you have ZME Center, Tower and Approach. For the real hard core trackers:)

I am listening now to see if I can here them contact FX98 or FX 90!

You can also track family members during the holidays and listen to ATC! If you like that kind of stuff!

Really hope that my 16gb black at&t is on the shanghai to Memphis (FX90) and will be delivered Friday.

preparing for shipping.... since this past weekend!

I think they didn't get to go on the FedEx planes due to no room so lets wait till tomorrow morning to see if they catch a space on plane. One of my minis said Package received after FedEx cutoff that means it didnt fit on the first plane and this was shipped today and prepared for shipment on the weekend.

did anyone had any luck yet to get a shipping notification for their AT&T 32gb Black?

Nope!! You can not pick up a package at a facility until an attempt has been made to deliver to the address. After that you can request a hold at location.

I have been through this several times since the local facility is on my way to work. I drive through about5:30am when they are sorting.

Every time I have been denied!!

MEMPHIS, TN

Looks like that batch really was on FDX98!

Poop stains! I thought mine was on FDX98 but hasn't shown up as in Memphis yet.. Maybe mine just hasn't been scanned yet.

Still processing

Yet it claims 11/21 delivery estimate. I don't see how if it doesn't ship real soon.

I will be at the store on Friday and hope to pick up one then.

64GB Black ATT ordered 11/3.
 
Finally my 64GB White Verizon ordered on the 4th shows Pending Shipment this evening.
