Yeah me too. That's what the woohoo was about after waiting 30 hours in Anchorage for no apparent reason. Patience.

That's weird. Mine needs to come to Fort Worth but they took it to Memphis when they had another flight coming up to Fort Worth.
 
I think mine is in with your group and I was surprised to see it go from Alaska to Oakland. Mine is headed for San Diego. So I guess this will deliver Wednesday or Thursday. I haven't seen my stuff go this route before.



QUOTE=boaisy;12166263]Sweet finally arrived in Oakland. Hopefully it will be delivered to SoCal tomorrow

Me either, the iPhone 4 went through Memphis first but Oakland is ok, I just can't find a flight that goes from Oakland to Sacramento yet.
 
does anyone know the total capacity of these fedex flights? My iPad has been sitting 'prepared to ship' for 48 hours now, and I'm wondering if Shenzhen can produce them faster than Fedex can fly them to the states.

I bet a 777 can hold one or two iPads. But they do have limits although I noticed on flight aware that fedex had 181 flights in the air around 11 central.

I've been wondering though if prepared to ship might actually mean they have assigned your order a number on the line rather than actually put it in a box. They seem to be taking too long to pick up for them to just be sitting there. But then again, maybe they just don't have enough trucks to haul them to the airport. That's a lot of pad hauling.

Maybe just driving it over the bridge to S.F.

It depends on the plane, amount of fuel, and other variables.

For example... If it's the MD-11f, then the gross payload is 202,100 lbs.

The weight of my iPad shipment is 2.9 lbs. So 202,100 / 2.9 = (approx) 69,689 iPads per flight. (theoretically.) This doesn't take into account the weight of package containers / cages, fuel, etc.

Each fedex plane into the US isn't exclusively iPads, it's a mix of all sorts of fedex packages.

IMO, capacity isn't an issue. They seem a much higher package volume during the holiday season.
 
How big is the chance that i recieve my iPad earlier than the order says?
it says ships 19 april, delivers 22 but im on vacation from the 13th ..... dammit
 
My iPad has landed in Indy. Be nice to see it make it to Eastern Ohio for delivery Wednesday afternoon, but seems doubtful. Can't imagine it making it to the other side of Columbus from Indy in 12 hours.
 
Just made it to Indianapolis!

Wow this is encouraging. I ordered roughly the same time 64 gb wifi-only white. Hopefully mine will be here soon also. Don't mind receiving it a bit later since I have to finish a paper and no distraction is good.
 
dear all of you who ungrateful SOBs who have received your shipping notices and are still complaining,
take a look at my life. y'all need to deal with your **** and realize you will most likely have your ipad before the weekend... pull yourselves together and realize no wrong doings have been done to you; most of your ipads are in america. you are lucky.
