No, see, I don't think you understand- I have no scheduled delivery date! Mine hasn't even been prepared for shipment yet- that's why I'm so buggy. Thanks for the advice though, you're right, I know once I get the tracking number there's not a thing I can do to make it come faster, but until then I will be buggy because it's going on 6 days and not even a "prepared for shipping" status update.

???

They are still in their window of when they expect it to ship. You shouldnt expect it to have a delivery date yet. It has not been 6 business days yet, only 3. So I think you should heed the advice that you quoted. Settle down everyone.
 
What the... Does anyone else see this on Flight FDX94? The flight route has a giant zig-zag across Canada.

It's almost as if they forgot 'something', turned the plane around and then realized "What are we doing? We've gone too far to turn back now, back on route to Memphis!"

This often happens with aircraft tracking, especially with FlightAware, on international flights over airspace that does not have a ton of radar. As the aircraft "checks in" to certain waypoints, it will draw those out on a map, but sometimes those waypoints are sparse, especially in northern canada, so one buggy check in transferring to FlightAware, and it will look like it went in reverse. Aircraft more than likely flew in a normal path. Especially since it is due to arrive at its normal time.
 
Mine's been in the same position since this morning - supposed to be delivered by 4:30 pm on Friday, what about you?

**I'm in Houston, anyone in TX received theirs or expecting theirs soon? Any idea about flights??

Mine has since changed to Transit in LANTAU ISLAND, HK. Mine Isn't Suppose to get here till Next Tuesday, but I am hoping it actually comes by Friday.
 
Mine has been like that for around 8 hours and just changed to In Transit: LANTAU ISLAND HK, about 30 mins ago...

What city is your package shipping to. My delivery date is the 18th I live 90 minutes northwest of Atlanta, didn't think our shipping times would be that different.
 
Here's my advice: Look at the scheduled delivery date for your shipment. If FedEx says it will arrive on March 17, it will arrive March 17, not a moment sooner. So, sit back, relax, and do something else in the meantime. Obsessing over where it's at or why it hasn't moved from one location in a while will not make it arrive any faster.

Well said! Couldn't agree more. tracking it day by day is like watching a clock pass time. Its gonna make it feel a whole lot longer.

And I remember looking at forums like this for my iPhone 4 last year, I haven't been back since it arrived. In a month, you will have forgotten about these forums. (And hopefully we have moved on to the iPhone 5 shipping inquiries! :D)
 
This is a great one!!!! Called and spoke with Customer Service, Told CSR that IPad has been holding in "Prepared for Shipment" mode for 2 days. Their only answer is that it means that my IPad made it into a "BOX". Really??? That's the best they can do? Also my Smart Cover has been sitting in the hub at Lewisberry, PA since 7 am yesterday. Maybe they will meet up at the hub and combine the order.

I think they were trying to cheer you up. LOL

Yahh it will be a miracle if mine gets to me by the 18th... Mine is going ALL THE WAY to Northern MAINE! (Did I mention it is THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE!?)

So I mentioned (Above) that it was coming to northern Maine... Are all the iPads coming into the lower 48 states going to Memphis? I would think something going to Maine would be landing a little closer....
 
Woo Hoo!

I'm on vacation with a broken ankle...

mine went china -> alaska -> oakland (about to land) -> hopefully my house in socal
 
Guessing they got off course.

I guess so. It just seems stupid to waste fuel flying away from your destination just to get back on track at a certain coordinate.

Reminds me of playing racing games as a kid... Miss a checkpoint and have to drive all the way back to hit it before proceeding forward :D

Exact same here...I'm in Columbus. Maybe it will hit the 830pm flight to Memphis?
 
Huh?

So I am shipping ipad 64-White-ATT. Ordered 3:40AM PDT on 11th (est delivery Mar-22-29). It is still Not yet shipped. The cover was quoted to be delivered on March 18-21.

On 14th I got "Shipped" for the cover, along with the Fedex tracking that said it will be delivered on March 17th. This morning it was picked up by Fedex, and now the estimated delivery date it Mar-22. It has been sitting in the "Regulatory Agency Clearance Delay" in SHENZHEN for the last 12 hours.

All of this is making me a wreck. I am leaving US on March 30th. There is no room for error here (assuming I won't have to swap the iPad for some defect), 29th was working out just fine... Urgh.:(

Sorry about your ankle. I broke my nose :(

Oh Lord- that's not even what I was saying! I wasn't even talking to you. I was responding to the other post that said "just look at the date you've been quoted for it to arrive" and I was just noting that mine hasn't shipped, so therefore I have no FedEx date. And have you missed the entire point of half of our conversations here? No, we will NOT settle down. People who ordered our same orders HOURS after us (even with engraving) have received their iPads TODAY even... mine hasn't even been prepped with a 12:45 am PST 3/11 order. Get real! I will settle WHEN mine is PREPPED for shipping. Thank you.
