Why is my iPad not updating???

It's been in transport from Alaska for 24 hours:

Mar 14, 2011 2:40 PM In transit ANCHORAGE, AK
Mar 14, 2011 12:37 PM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK
Mar 14, 2011 10:33 AM Arrived at FedEx locationANCHORAGE, AK
Mar 13, 2011 11:58 PM At local FedEx facility LANTAU ISLAND HK
Mar 13, 2011 11:19 PM Picked up SHENZHEN CN Package received after FedEx cutoff
Mar 13, 2011 10:34 PMIn transitLANTAU ISLAND HK
Mar 12, 2011 9:20 AMShipment information sent to FedEx

I dont think its stuck in customs because it says int'l shipment release already happened - why would this still be in transit?

It's a 32 gb wifi black en route to San Jose, CA - ordered 12:46am PT on launch morning

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you:

The way I take it is Apple stated "Ships in 3-5 days", not "If your order was placed before Bro B, C and D, you will get your toy before them"...

Good for you. Most of us take it like any other company or consumer would take it- first come, first serve.

Like always, these threads are always a case study in terms of who is mature or not and open minded or not.

Thank you for the personal insult. Who is moderating these forums lately? If I said something like this, I would be put in "time out". I don't understand. But you are right- I am not "open-minded" - I guess that comes with not letting people or companies walk all over me and do whatever they want.
 
The next flights out of Anchorage are as follows. I'm hoping our iPads clear customs etc soon enough to get on one of these. My apple deliveries usually go via Indy.

Indianapolis, IN Federal Express 22 03:05 PM
Oakland, CA Federal Express 86 05:00 PM
Memphis, TN Federal Express 9164 03:38 PM
Indianapolis, IN Federal Express 5140 04:16 PM
Fort Worth, TX Federal Express 5092 04:30 PM
Newark, NJ Federal Express 92 04:10 PM
Memphis, TN Federal Express 94 04:19 PM

Thanks for the info. Hopefully mine makes one of the Indy flights, since they're so much closer to eastern Ohio than Memphis.
 
I just called Apple Support. They informed me that my 64 GB white wifi iPad (ordered 1:08 PST on 3/11) was in the first batch of orders and would be going out ASAP. I asked for expedited shipping and the customer service person stated that all the orders that had been backlogged were bumped up to expedited shipping. He quoted me 2 business days. I wasn't offered any ear buds or anything else. He said my order should be going out today or tomorrow with the expedited shipping. :(

My husband received his 32 GB black wifi today and his gray poly cover. It was due to arrive according to Fed Ex on 3/17 but made it 2 days early.

Geeze, mine just kept quoting the Company line.... "it's not yet been 3-5 days." Maybe I'll keep calling back until someone decides to help me

Thanks for that info. Yeah a lot of my deliveries have come through Indy as well. I don't care where it goes.... as long as they don't send it back to China again, and that it starts to move this way to Atlanta! hah! I'll keep you updated on my status. Were you on my flight? It got into ANC at 12:53 local time.



And I just wanted to post this so people would actually believe my ridiculous routing. It's quite comical. Rather than go from Hong Kong to MEM or ANC it's gone all over Asia. lmfao!!! :p

Are you sure these are from today? 9164 and 94 were definitely flights from yesterday.

Syncing as I type!

My iPad has arrived! For those of you wondering about the timeline for fedex, mine is below. They has delivery scheduled for the 17th, but I got it today, the 15th. I'm very happy about that! I thought I wouldn't get it tomorrow.

Shipment information sent to FedEx
 
Mine still says Departed Fedex origin facility Shenzen and nothing has changed since 14:40:00 which in China time seems like a long time ago. I really want to see it hit Alaska suddenly. They still say delivery by the 18th though. puzzled

Has anyone bought like a neopyrne sleeve just to carry it in their bag? Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for the info. Hopefully mine makes one of the Indy flights, since they're so much closer to eastern Ohio than Memphis.

No problem. I'm in Cleveland so yea Indy is a lot closer. I'm having fun tracking my iPad. Who knew OCD was so contagious. Its all good as long as it doesn't induce stress :)
 
Yea my iPad 2 just shipped and is in transit from Shenzhen at 2:40 AM EDT. Where would an iPad go from here if its shipping to the east coast?

IT IS ARRIVED!

White 16GB, Northern California.

It is so much nicer to hold than the original iPad, way exceeded my expectations in that sense. I see a bit of backlight bleed though, so I might exchange it.

I am in SoCal. Did your ipad go to Memphis and then back to CA or ship directly to CA?

I bought this from amazon for only $5.21 w/ free 2 day shipping w/ amazon prime.

I think the smart cover is useless, so I'm going with this until a good full-body cover comes out. Also waiting on screen protectors from powersupportusa to be released. The ones from zagg are terrible.

Both of my covers have arrived but no iPads. I'm at 36+ hours in "ready for shipment." This forum has been very therapuetic. Thanks for the support. I'm going to try not check my status again until tomorrow morning.

Yeah this is actually fun. Frustrating, but still oddly fun. Especially group tracking like this thread. (BTW: Go Browns! And takes the Cavs with ya! ;))
