my smart cover is two hours ahead of my iPad 2
My last scan on fedex.com is also Lantau Island at 11:55, however looking on my system at work (I work at FedEx), it shows enroute to Anchorage and due to arrive at 1:37pm Alaska time today. I imagine many of those with 11:55 Lantau Island scans are on the same plane as mine.
Yeah, My smart cover has the 11:55 Lantau island scan.
what is the difference in the expected delivery dates of your smart cover (which is traveling with my Ipad) and you Ipad which is on the later flight?
thanks,

Lantau Island must be pretty great place, if all of our Apple shipments spend so much time there...

P.S. The island will be my iPad's homescreen, when it finally arrives.![]()
I just got a status update on Fedex tracker,
now it has it in South Korea, It sure seems to be taking the scenic route.
Whats next Russia?

Chapel, mine is following the exact same route. I can only assume they are on a palette that will be broken apart once it hits the US distribution centers in Anchorage, memphis or who knows where else.
How China > HK > Japan > China > Korea makes any sense is beyond me. If every package takes these types of random hops I can't image Fed Ex is running a cost efficient operation.
If that were done to meet the delivery date of tomorrow by 4:30 pm (which I don't see happening at this point since it has no indication of even being directed stateside at this point) then I would understand. However, the trip from HK > Japan > Korea alone took nearly 48 hours. So if we were to assume that it's jumped around to get to us faster, we'd have to assume that there was no capacity on any Fedex flight from HK or Japan stateside in the last 48 hours???
I ordered mine at 1:04 am PST on Friday the 11th as well. Trying to contemplate why some who have ordered slightly before or well after is simply mind-boggling from a logistical standpoint.
I would say that is would show a touch of class for those who have already received theirs to not continually post in this tread gloating about it. It would be more appropriate if they posted a new thread or an existing owners thread in the forum.
However I've been an apple customer for the last 10 years, that would be a bit much to expect from this rabbid fanbase.![]()
