Can someone help me try to locate an update on this flight? I tried to use a couple of the links provided in this thread but couldn't find anything about FDX flights leaving SHANGHAI.

I have the exact same tracking info as you. Literally to the minute so I'm assuming ours will be on the same flight. Hopefully we see some movement this evening. Mine is coming to Ohio...yours?

Mine's coming to Michigan. I was messing around a little on FlightAware and was thinking that the out going flight to Memphis might be this one. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX84 - Which I believe is scheduled to leave within the next 15 minutes.

My FedEx tracking still hasn't updated yet since it left SHANGHAI CN. What about yours?

Mine is also the exact same. Mine is coming to GA.
 
7-10 days here.
I got the email verification from Apple that my rMBP (base model) had shipped at 11 AM this morning with an estimated delivery time of 10:30 AM Thursday.
Thing is, I'm going out of town Wednesday afternoon so I'll probably miss it by a day :(

The last update was:
Jun 18, 2012 8:40 PM
Left FedEx origin facility
SHANGHAI CN

Is there any chance it could find its way to me a day early?
I'm in Illinois btw
 
For those of you whose shipments shipped earlier than the original estimate, did the estimate dates in your order status change, or did the status just change to "Preparing to Ship" ?

Just the status changed, the estimated dates never changed.
 
Hoping mine heads straight to Cali like another member's a bunch of pages back :D if not I guess I can wait until the scheduled delivery on Wednesday...

Ah, yes. You'd hope it wouldn't take such a big detour. I think I've seen both scenarios in this monster thread.

Out of curiosity... what track details do you have now? (to see if they did keep travelling together)

I have:
Jun 18, 2012 3:32 PM International shipment release - Import ANCHORAGE, AK
Jun 18, 2012 2:37 PM In transit ANCHORAGE, AK
Jun 18, 2012 12:06 PM Arrived at FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK
Jun 18, 2012 10:38 PM In transit NARITA-SHI JP

Yep, got those in that exact order with those same time stamps... :)
 
For any Canadians who have received or will soon receive their orders: what path did yours take? FedEx's Canadian hub is Calgary, correct? Something like Shanghai --> Anchorage --> Calgary --> You? I'm just curious where mine will have to pass through before it makes it to Toronto.

No update as of yet. Hoping we do end up being on that direct flight. Could even get out for tomorrow instead of Wednesday if it is straight into Memphis.

My RMBP hasn't even shipped yet but my new Air arrived today. It left Wednesday and went China to Japan to Anchorage to Indianapolis to Ontario to Calgary to Vancouver to Whitehorse and I got it one day early from Fedex's estimate. So yours will probably do the same up until Mississauga. Mine left Wed and was estimated to be arriving tomorrow but delivered this afternoon to my office. Now I wait patiently as my 7-10day shipping estimate for my RMBP hasn't moved from "Processing" yet.

----------

So with all the 7-10day people having theirs ship today, are there some 7-10 day people out there that are still on the processing stage. I am so hoping I'm not the only one.

Also for the 7-10 day people that had theirs ship today, was your 7-10 days a shipping estimate or delivery estimate from when you ordered? Mine is a shipping estimate but someone said the 2-3 week and 3-4 weeks people are delivery estimates and not shipping ones???

Hopefully mine will change tonight!!

Mine is a 2nd day(morning) order with a 2-3 week estimate. Mine is a shipping estimate not a delivery estimate. I was really hoping to be able to pickup in store, but mine is a 2.3/16gb/256gb model.

This forum has been helpful to follow, I ha be now made sure to call my bank and give approval for for the charge, the largest charges I make may be $100-$200, never have I made one over $700, the largest ever was my iPad 32gb when it was released in march. For anyone that has not done so, I would recommend calling the bank or credit card company and letting them know, it can't hurt.

Wow! I'll bet when your mother-in-law comes to visit for Thanksgiving you guys track her as she passes each interstate exit.
 
Almost had a panic attack a few minutes ago...

rMBP due for delivery by 10:30am today. Knowing I would (obviously) be at work, I printed the release, signed it, and specified to leave it at my apartment's leasing office.

At 10:26am FedEx tracking says it was delivered with this note, "Left at front door. Package delivered to recipient address - release authorized". Clearly, I think that the driver left it at my FRONT DOOR as he wrote in the note. I called my apartment complex and they were really nice about going to get it and hold it so it wasn't left unattended all day.

My apartment calls me back 10 minutes later. They left me a voicemail saying me there was nothing at my door. I promptly called FedEx to complain and the lady wasn't overly helpful. She stated that because I signed it, the driver left it at the door. I told her that I don't understand why FedEx would have the option to specify a place to leave it if they were going to totally ignore it. She then agreed to call the driver and see where he may have left it.

As tears were welling up in my eyes I called the leasing office back. Thankfully, she said the delivery man JUST showed up to the leasing office (11:30am - a full hour after he confirmed it was delivered AT MY DOOR) with my package. I'm so relieved, but what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks was that driver doing?!

At least my rMBP is delivered and in safe hands. Now, if I could just get MY hands on it!

A friend is a FedEx delivery driver. He told me that there are some drivers that if they run behind in hitting the delivery times for guaranteed delivery packages, some of them will scan them to show as "delivered" even though they haven't delivered them. This stops the clock and preserves their "on-time" promise, and then deliver them past the promised time. Often people aren't obsessively refreshing the delivery status page like we do, and it goes unnoticed! I'm wondering if that's what happend here?

That is probably exactly what happened. I probably got the driver in a little trouble since I immediately called. When FedEx called me back to check I let them know that it showed up at the leasing office an hour later. Oh well.
