Preorders Sitting in Nashville Thread

Maybe not enough room on the flights Fedex uses for all the iPads they have so they have to stagger the deliveries on the 16th?

Or perhaps there are so many they just can't load them all up on the delivery trucks at once?


Puzzling...
 
Glad to see others packages seem to be sitting somewhere as well, mine has been in Louisville, KY since 3/11. Heres my shipping times:

Ordered:3/7, received "Item Shipped" email 3/8.
Processed-3/9/12 8:58pm
Leaves China from a second location- 3/10/12 3:02 am
Arrives in Anchorage, AK- 3/10/12 11:05pm
Arrives in Louisville, KY 3/11/12 11:26am

Hope it plans on leaving soon if its making it to me in NY on friday!

Nashville since the 9th enroute to MN.... Delivery by 4:30 pm, 3/16. It's Fedex. No worries. (I wouldn't bitch if it showed up early however:D)
 
Got an iPad stuck in Nashville here too!
Been in "Picked Up" status since Friday, delivering to Chicago.

Hoping mine starts moving tomorrow morning :)
 
This is not apples's or fedex's first rodeo - they are pros at this - mine now says 10 pm - I am sure it will be here the 16th. They have logistics down pat. If I were them I'd blank the tracking numbers. Every launch people get brain damage from watching their number. It's not like a regular package with fed ex, it's bulk shipping on a grand scale...

Exactly. FedEx will pick up the shipments in bulk from Apple's warehouse in Nashville and then sort them for the flights to the Memphis and Indianapolis hubs. They will then be sorted in those hubs for each package's destination flights or trucks.

Mine is still in Nashville waiting shipment to Minnesota. It still says delivery by 3 pm March 16.

Wonder why some are being moved to 10 pm? Are all the 10 pm people from the same area? Maybe it's a flight change of some kind that is affecting delivery time..

I'm in FL. Delivery times sure as hell better not be slipped to 10PM because Apple overloaded the carriers and they need extra time to deliver millions of iPads all at once.
 
It may be a good thing the New iPad didn't come with Siri. It's been sitting in Nashville so long it would probably of shown up with a Hillbilly Accent.

Hey Y'all, I'm Siri! :D

No, but when I tried to spell the name of the city in China, it was a disaster, so I made up my own name that sort of sounds chineese.

Also, I spoke to a friend that works at FedEx and he said we should see some major movement of packages (tracking numbers) around midnight tonight.

I'm guessing we will be ok in Florida. Mine is being delivered to a business. Surly they wouldn't push a delivery back so late to a business.
 
Mine was picked up from Nashville. On a side note, Apple TV is in transit from Nashville currently in Mount Juliet, TN.
 
I'm new here, but I thought I'd share. My FedEx tracking number is still showing in transit in Nashville. I had been scheduled for delivery by 4:30 PM on Friday to a business address in south Florida. This changed today to delivery by 10:00 PM. Since I'm having it shipped to work, no one will be there after hours to sign for it, so I called FedEx to check. The rep I spoke with said that her system showed delivery by 3:00 PM, and she said that they will not be delivering as late as 10:00 PM. She was unable (or possibly unwilling--I got the feeling I was far from her first iPad-related call) to reroute the package either to a FedEx facility for pick-up or to an alternate address. She said that I could use those options if they are available through the website, but she could not make those changes. I've checked, and so far, the website does not give me the option to change the delivery address.

Mine has not moved yet (still in Nashville) and I am in Central Florida as well. I am thinking that eventhough it still shows delivery on the 16th it will not get here until Monday (which is all right I guess grrrr..). I hope to see some movement by midnight. My concern is the same one that has been expressed here the past couple of days as I dont know that fedex can pull up the task of delivering all of the orders on time
 
I'm also in Texas and my arrival time has changed to 10pm. Hopefully not because I have the iPad shipping to my job which closes at 5pm.
 
Mine is in Nashville also, I expect it to begin moving tonight or tomorrow. If it goes as others have, its next stop is Indianapolis then Ubana, Illinois then to where I work by about 10:00 on Friday. :D
 
Mine shipped from Nashville to Indianapolis overnight?

Destination St. Paul, MN for delivery 3/16. Ordered 3/7.

Looks like things are starting to move!

But why Indianapolis?
