I think mine is going directly to Memphis since because of this - If I got to my tracking number that Apple gave me and on Shipments facts and then max, then you will see master Tracking #/ Shipment ID and I get this when I click on it and I just checked it and it says this now. Good thing it still says ON TIME- and I just saw this so looks like I could get it Wednesday

Mine says the same as yours including no movement since Wednesday.
 
Like I said if Fedex flys directly from China to Memphis then its a good chance I will get on Wednesday
FedEx does not fly directly from China to Memphis, that direct route does not exist. That said, your tracking info could update next with it arriving in Memphis, depending on how it's grouped/ sorted and scanned. If that line you're showing above the the tracking info that says delivery 11/24 by 11:30 or similar is coming from FedEx, then you can probably count on that being fairly accurate.
 
Finally! Preparing for shipment!!!!

Then why dose when you click on Master tracking you get Shanghai to Memphis, TN - Or unless Fedex uses a Thirds Party Airline that flys from Shanghai to Memphis

You're right that it isn't a direct flight. It could be a combination of flights, depending on if the pallet gets rescanned.

FDX does have a run from ZSPD-RJAA-KOAK-KMEM that is all the same flight, but separate stops. So that's Shanghai - Tokyo (Narita) - Oakland - Memphis. That route is FDX5192.

Alternatively, there is a change of flights for this at RJAA that is a nonstop to KMEM. That's FDX9072. So it's possible that his flight went ZSPD-RJAA-KMEM with that change of flights, or took the long way with ZSPD-RJAA-KOAK-KMEM, staying on the same aircraft.

I think sometimes they miss some scans So I think mine could be in Japan, then headed to Memphis - if its on a Fedex Plane - there still could a possibility its on a different plane that flys from China to memphis - never know - and why would it say this if you look at the master tracking #- but this master tacking has changed this today

This is what the other tracking number that linked to Apple order status page- and that one has not change at all

7:48 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx
 
It could be in Japan and Fedex just missed some of the scans and like the only flight from tokyo leaves at 1:21pm , since we all know its already Tuesday 10am in China & Japan - so I think if its on that flight then the flight from Memphis to Dulles/ where dose not take that long
 
I wouldn't get too excited about getting a UPS tracking number (ok, well, maybe a little excited :) ). I had my tracking number Saturday morning and UPS still says they can't locate the tracking number. Expected delivery date is Wednesday the 1st.

Same tracking number date and delivery. Wonder if we're in the same batch.
 
I think I could of figure out my flight - but kind find a Flight from Shanghai to Tokyo - I could be wrong like said it could be on a different company cargo plane NOT A Fedex one

@jlforester
Agreed. I got a UPS tracking number on Friday and I am getting the same "We are unable to complete your tracking request at this time. Please try again later" on the website and App. I have UPS My Choice and I cant see anything. Apple says 12/1 delivery to Oregon.
 
How much longer after “preparing for shipment” to “shipped” or getting a tracking number for most of you?

I got my tracking number on Friday too. I have the same result: We are unable to complete your tracking request at this time. Please try again later.
 
I ordered a 14 inch then ordered a 16 inch cos I wasn’t sure, then I cancelled both, and realised I wanted a 14 inch again so I ordered it again and then I went to the store and realised I like the 16 inch so now I’m back ordering the 16 inch. Can someone pls help!! Should I get the 14 or 16 inch?!
 
Then why dose when you click on Master tracking you get Shanghai to Memphis, TN - Or unless Fedex uses a Thirds Party Airline that flys from Shanghai to Memphis

This is what I get when I click on track shipment from the Apple order status page

Just so you know, you can't really trust what Apple says on their page, to a degree. They are giving you that information with the assumption that you're not aviation or aviation-friendly. They will think you'll look at it and say "yay! It's on its way!" and not think of it again until your next notification. that's where sites like FlightAware or FlightRadar24 come in, where you can actually track flights.

China to Memphis with stop in FedEx hub in Japan

Yep. This is coming from Kansai. Sennan is a district in Osaka, where RJBB (Kansai Int'l) is. From there, there is a nonstop to Memphis. Both FDX90 and FDX5078 have nonstop runs from Kansai to Memphis.

I think I could of figure out my flight - but kind find a Flight from Shanghai to Tokyo - I could be wrong like said it could be on a different company cargo plane NOT A Fedex one

Definitely not FDX1434. That's a daily from Memphis to Dulles.
