Is it possible that all of ours that have been at Lantau since this morning are really on the plane landing in Memphis shortly and were just never logged leaving the airport?

There are a whole bunch of us with the exact same log with Lantau at 11:55 like EmmanuelJB, myself and Technical
 
No change in my status. Not Shipped Yet.

iPad 2, 32GB AT&T 3G, Black, No Engraving
Order from Apple
1:17a PST, 3/11
3-5 Day Estimate

Almost worth battling crowds at this point... except there's no stock.

The press release about "amazing response" is code for "we ran out of everything and can't keep up with demand." Trust me. I write press releases for a living.

UPDATE: Now showing as Prepared.
 
FedEx Will Not Deliver iPad's on Saturday unless it was requested by Apple OR it is on a Home Delivery service, which is not available from China. Please end all posts about Saturday delivery, because FedEx does not do this for INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS unless REQUESTED by SHIPPER

I gotta agree with Reyaz here on this one. Some posters are believing what they want to believe. Just because a FedEx truck has delivered something on a Saturday before doesn't mean thats how your package was shipped. International services are very different than domestic. Apple is shipping these International Economy as a standard, not International Priority.

Its just like the ignorant posts that were saying a rep comped them to overnight service. There is no such thing as overnight from China on FedEx and they simply got played by a call center rep. Those reps have to process a certain number of calls in a given time and they will say things like that to get you off the phone.

To prove my point further, even though Reyaz posted this, in bold nonetheless, I guarantee there will be a post within the next page or two that asks the exact same question.

That is what I am thinking. I was looking at other peoples tracking and some didn't show any departure from Lantau, and just appeared in the US. If this is the case hopefully it doesn't go to Alaska!

Prepared for shipment. Black 64 3G. We shall see if apple over nights it to me as promised....

They promised me the same thing and said I would definatly have by Friday or Saturday.... Guess we'll find out :D
 
It'd be nice if "prepped" came with an estimated ship day. Mine would be here Monday if they put it on a plane tonight, but it's still just sittin' "prepped." Ugh...

Thanks for the agreement :)
Bold text captures attention :D

I can hear it now...

Apple rep's wife to Apple rep husband: "Why don't you ever pick up your dirty clothes!!??"

Apple rep husband to wife: "Would a smart cover and a dock help your feelings?"


:D :rolleyes: ;)

Yes they ship on Saturdays, but not deliver

Fine by me! My college mailroom is only open Mon-Fri, so I actually prefer this. My iPad won't sit vulnerable all weekend if it gets to my neck of the woods Saturday. Plus, that makes it an even better chance that I'll get it by Monday!
 
EXAMPLE: Never said anything about departing HK...

Thanks for that example!

We should know in a few hours i guess because the flight from Shenzen to Memphis just landed several minutes ago. I'm headed to be and i hope im pleasantly surprised that the Ipad is on American soil in the AM!

They actually guaranteed I would receive it on Friday or Saturday! Granted I'm not holding my breath... But that is what two different apple reps said. :confused: so who knows what to believe? I hope they were right.

What day does fedex say on your tracking info?

Well you can believe either one of us, but i personally know they don't deliver international shipments on a Saturday
 
Come to Papa

Well, of all the complaints I've read - mine has to be the worst. Today, I "had" to attend a meeting from 12 to 1 pm. I left my house at 11:55pm on the bicycle and flew to the meeting room. When I returned at 1:10pm, what did I find... but a note attached to my door. I logged on and found:

Mar 16, 2011 4:23 PM
At local FedEx facility
xxxxx, AZ
Mar 16, 2011 12:00 PM
Delivery exception
xxxxx, AZ
Customer not available or business closed

Can you believe it? If I had just been five minutes late to the meeting, I would never had made it and noone would have missed me. That's ok though, FedEx will deliver before 4:30 tomorrow. I won't even take a shower without the door open. I'll have my iPad in my hot, live fingers.
Good luck to all of you. I sure hope my FedEx truck is parked safely.

That's not surprising. Knowing that Fed Ex would have shown up, if I decided to step out, I just stayed home. Normally, Fed Ex comes about noon but because I was home all day they showed up a little before 4:30 pm. If I had left they would have come earlier and I would have missed them. Anyway, that's how it works. So, if you stay in tomorrow you'll get it. I think it will be worth the wait. It was for me!
 
So considering I only live a half hour from Newark and the local facility is only 5 minutes away should I be concerned that it hasn't made it there? It left Newark 4 hours ago.
