ahh, maybe thats why :) .... seems a bit strange even though i ordered on release day ...

they said before the 14th i.e. tuesday

you might get a suprise and get it tommorow! im just so excited for mine! get home from school to play on my brand new ipod! :D
 
Mine's in transit within Shanghai right now and should be on a FedEx flight to Anchorage rather soon, which means I finally get to try this

Delivery date is still set for September 15th and since they have to get it to Anchorage > Memphis > Oakland > Me, I'm sure I won't be one of the lucky ones to get it early
 
The strangest thing, I got 2 updates telling me it was in transit in Shanghai. Not that it arrived at Shanghai's FedEx center, just in transit.

I'm growing rather concerned now because it's Sunday afternoon here and Monday morning in China. FedEx still has to fly it to Anchorage and have it clear customs, then fly it to Memphis, then fly it to Oakland and transport it by ground a good 2 hours to me, and according to them they'll do all that by Wednesday.

I'm also curious, I payed for Next day shipping, it shipped September 11th. today is the 12th and it's still in China, and it's looking like it won't arrive until Wednesday or even later since there's so many steps. Do I still have to pay for next day shipping even though the entire thing will take 4 days?

It took mine 2 days to go from Shanghai->Alaska->Memphis->Witchita, so I wouldn't be partucularly worried if I were you. Even if they are late (which I don't think they will be), it would only be one day ;)

Probably :p
 
Not sure why FEDEX has done this crazy movement of my iPod. If, you look at 9/11 entry for arrival at Ontario, CA this is about 15 minutes from my home. They then sent it back to Memphis. I was hoping to pick it up from the facility in Ontario, but of course they said no. They may have sent it on this stupid journey to make sure, I don't get it before 9/14

:confused:

extremely strange, I would call and ask.

I also question why every single FedEx shipment has to go to Memphis? what if you lived in Anchorage and ordered an iPod touch? would they send it to Memphis anyways just to bring it back to the same FedEx location? I speculate it's FedEx code that all shipments must go to the HQ just for the hell of it. Also, some shipments are extremely special and must go there twice, like yours :p
 
I hope I can get it tomorrow, but then after all the reviews and testing pictures and videos. I'm not that excited anymore. I feel like i want to return it.
 
Mine just arrived at Anchorage an hour ago. I now have confidence in FedEx again but I still don't think they'd get it here early

I also didn't get to track the flight :(

Oh well, I'll do it when the iPod touch 5 comes around

Mine somehow did not go through Memphis.

Kunshan-->Shanghai-->Anchorage, AK-->Newark, NJ-->Dulles, VA-->Alexandria, VA-->My home!

I am utterly puzzled as to why mtwilford's touch is going through Memphis twice.
 
Mine just left China. FedEx tracking says it should be here on Thursday. Thankfully i'm off from work that day.
 
After waiting, complaining and bitc..... Finally, an asian Fedex employee has delivered my ipod touch! I just compared to the 2nd Gen ipod touch, this new one is a bit thinner and slim than the 2nd gen.

Just a quick update. Must of been a snafu or they were able to sneak it back to SoCal. It is on the truck for delivery- I am a happy camper

So are you still going to return it? ;)
 
I HATE FedEx!!! still going to take till Friday to be delivered even though it's only 6 hours away, all because I didn't pay $10 extra bucks to have it delivered tomorrow,so it's just going to sit down in Oakland for a week....:mad:

I got the regular shipping.

FedEx said my package would be here on the 16th, but it arrived today. I am pleasantly surprised. :)

In the past FedEx has always delivered before the posted date.
