Leopard has SHIPPED!

:mad:I had the exact same thing happen to me. At 10:24 AM (6 minutes before priority cutoff), the FedEx tracking noted "Delivery Exception - Future Delivery Requested." I called FedEx, and they confirmed the exception, but they have no idea why -- according to them, it was requested by the "customer." Since I didn't request it, I assume Apple did. They will follow up with me.

Same thing happened to me - I got to work this morning as the Fedex guy was walking in packages in hand. The website said 'delivered by 10:30 AM,' so I assumed he had my package. Nope. Then I check the website and it says 'future delivery requested.' Botch.
 
When I called the lady put in a request to bypass the Apple email stating that I have been up since 6am waiting for it.



I just received a call back from the local fedex and they said the driver will be there within the hour....

Yep, same thing happened to me! A "10:30am delivery by" was just changed to "future delivery requested." Called FedEx and hopefully they will be delivering it soon.

If Apple is trying to hold off as many people possible from getting their DVDs until 6:00pm, that's pretty cheesy.

What did you say that changed it so they will make sure it comes to you now?

only thing I told fedex was that I woke up at 8:00AM to wait for this package cause it said by 10:30AM.

She is the one that said she would send a message to the local center and she is the one that said we will just tell them you have been up since 6am. :)


So I really didn't say anything other then I have been up since 8am but with a very pissed off sounding voice.. <--- (gotta make sure you sound extremely mad)
 
Same thing happened with my copy.

FedEx tracking says it made it to the local NYC FedEx facility at 10:20 AM but apparently now has a "Delivery exception" due to the package allegedly arriving after courier dispatch. Would Apple really be cheap, and purposely delay people's pre-orders?

Has anyone had success in calling FedEx and having them put it on a truck, or am I destined to have my copy show up sometime in the late afternoon?
 
Leopard is in the building

Mine is floating around my office building somewhere. It arrived at 10:17am on the 30th Floor. I am down on 3 (all packages must go to 30 :( ) If I do not have it after lunch I begin stalking the building for it. Luckily I have the name of the woman who signed for it.
 
Well, 10:30 a.m. has come and gone. My package does not say it has a delivery exception yet, but I assume that's what is going on. I must say, if true, this is completely ridiculous on Apple's part.
 
well 10:30 has come and past and no delivery. and no change on the tracking page. so fedex is either incompetent or apple is being a pain in the ass. either way i am not happy as i have to leave shortly and otherwise won't make it back here until 7pm probably. what ********.

OK -- the story is that FedEx informed Apple that there were so many pieces shipped that it would be difficult for the drivers to deliver all of them on time. Apple emailed FedEx allowing them to extend delivery to the next time tier (though the same day) if they couldn't deliver them in the first time tier.

I called FedEx and they had the driver deliver Leopard within 15 minutes of the call.

To summarize, the delay is due to the huge numbers shipped and is followed only when necessary.

I hope this helps everyone. Good Leoparding! :)

got mine...

went out and tracked down the fedex man.... got it at 10am. he said that there were a ton of these packages going out... i'm almost done installing...
30 mins ahead of the game...
 
Hmmm. Mine has been "At local FedEx facility" since 7:50 an it's 8:40 now. It is supposed to be delivered by 10:30.

I have my doubts. :(

UPDATE - Just refreshed and got this update: "8:30 AM - On FedEx vehicle for delivery"... cool! :)

Don't get too excited. mine showed the same thing until around 9:10 and then it shows 7:58 out for deliver. I am still waiting but I have 45 more minutes until 10:30 mountain time.
 
Vancouver, BC Update.

Mine is on the Purolator truck for delivery as of 7:50am. Looks like it'll arrive today at some point.

Canadians - post your delivery times..
 
Mine arrived at 15.43, will pick it up on the way home, after making a detour to get some dinner, ahh pizza, ice-cream, beer and Leopard, what more could you ask for (apart from an iPhone or a sexy lady!)

Hang in there, brother. You are going through a rough time but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. We're here for you. Remember the steps.

this have already been said, but ...... mine is the up-to-date, and it says "Cancelled - Replace with new product" and someone said that it was only a system error, but today, it still says ships by Oct. 26, Not yet shipping, does anyone else have this too? Because i read in the other thread, for people also have the up-to-date, their's already said prepared for shipment, and some already for their discs. I have no time to call and wait for apple, any possible answers?
 
Mine just made it

Memo from my building in NYC:

Police activity on 39th street

The police department does not know when they'll conclude their investigation. The loading dock is closed. You may want to consider rescheduling deliveries planned for today. We will update you as more information becomes available.

That would have ruined my weekend. Leopard just got in the door before this went down.
