Everyone who's package cleared at Alaska yesterday, but remained there over night will arrive tomorrow most definitely. I know this from prior experience with Apple. Would've came today, but customs had a lot of these to approve. It will take which ever plane today and will be in your state over night. :cool::apple:

Do you think that applies to orders also sitting in Memphis right now?
 
Leisurely Asian tour

I ordered my white 64GB 3G ATT engraved at 12:55 AM PST. It seems to be meandering around Asia:

I know FedEx delivers the package once it has been cleared and on US soil for 2 days maximum. If your package was cleared yesterday afternoon, and there is no activity (doesn't say in transit), it will most definitely arrive tomorrow. If it arrived today, it might catch the next plane for today. I have 2 iPads that were on the first plane to Alaska, but customs was overloaded and missed the next flight.
 
Worried that my iPad is stuck in Asia...

My iPad left Shenzhen yesterday but it seems to be making a circuitous route to me in LA. Has anyone else seen their tracking (via Yahoo) info show something like this? Worried it's going to bounce around Asia. :confused:

So, wonder when I will get mine since it is coming to N.C.
 
My Smart Cover is now at TA YUAN HSIANG, and left the FedEx ramp there. What the heck? Estimated arrival is next week, bumped from Thursday. :(

I'm not too sure. I don't see any outbound flight from PANC for Fedex all day today and early tomorrow. I'm thinking Friday possible next Monday delivery.
 
So what are we considering "business days"? If I ordered at 1:00 am PST on March 11 can I consider Friday a full business day? My Ipad 2 cover shipped on Saturday the 12th so was that a business day? If so, then today is the 4th business day and my status is not even showing Prepared for Shipment.

As far as I can tell, Friday was one business day (unless the same braniacs that decided pre-ordering was a bad idea don't count Fridays), Then the fifth day would be Thursday. Going to raise Holy Hell if my ipad still says "Not Yet Shipped" at whatever 5pm time is in China

It'll be here by Thursday as it was originally set to be delivered. But I'll tell you, if it doesnt get here until Monday. I'll be calling apple to complain.

Thank you for the info :) It just got marked as "In Transit" this morning. So, I guess tomorrow or the day after it should be here! It still says 3/17 as the expected delivery day.
 
My smart cover has arrived.

My Ipad tracking stil reads : Left Fedex Origin Facility Shenzen China.

Does this mean its on a plane to Alaska? Or is it just sitting there in China?

So I saw another post about someone calling apple and getting there shipping upgraded for free. So I called and asked about my order and said its been a while, so they upgraded my shipping to next business day! For free! Since my status is "not yet shipped"

As another post noted, there is no "upgraded" shipping. It will get there from Alaska (once it's cleared, which they have no control over) the next day anyway.

That's interesting. Mine is going to Florida, too, yet mine went to Memphis and skipped Alaska! Hmm!
 
Ugh. I ordered the 64 gig wifi in black at 12:55am PT, received my gray SmartCover today, but the iPad hasn't even switched to prepped for shipping. Have any of these been readied or shipped yet? It's supposed to ship in 3-5 business days, but with folks sitting in "prepped to ship" for days, I'm losing hope...
