Agreed though I am REALLY hoping otherwise, I bet our shipment sits for a while in TW or Alaska thru Friday, maybe for Monday delivery, but not tomorrow.So frustrating since they could deliver tomorrow if it got moving now. Did get my smart cover today....
Hope I am wrong!!
My hope is Memphis... http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX5246
Like others, I spoke with Apple CS after my iPad had languished for over 63 then 72 hours in "Prepared for Shipment" status. They apologized and told me they had upgraded it to "Priority" and then to "Overnight." Well, today I got a tracking number email and on the FedEx site it still showed "International Economy." So, I called FedEx to see if they had the "expedited" in their records. Very nice CS rep at FedEx who checked everything, told me that Apple had a contract with FedEx and that there was no such thing as priority from China. She told me that right now, my iPad was in a container with a whole lot of your iPads waiting for the flight tomorrow since we missed the cut-off today. She said there was nothing she could do until it cleared customs and reached DC and she would put a note in my record that they should distribute it as soon as it arrives and not wait for some window. She also said they would monitor it and see it makes good progress. However, since by the time it leaves China, it will be Friday - there's a good chance it will take the Anchorage (clear customs) and then go to Memphis and wherever else before it hits DC. OK, long post but the short of it is, there isn't any way a CS rep at Apple can upgrade shipping. It may say "Priority" on the Apple page, but it will only show up as International Economy on FedEx and will go that route.
Mine has ben stuck in Shennan-shi since yesterday. I've ordered from Apple many times before but this is the first time I recall something tracking through Japan. Estimated delivery is still tomorrow (Florida) but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I guess mine is on the same flight

Have a good trip little ipad 2s! Get home safe!... and quickly!
Yeah, we've pretty much established that the priority and overnight shipping promises for the ipad 2 from the rep's is pure bull.
Hello Everyone...Has anybody had any info on the :
2011-03-17 20:05:00 Left FedEx Ramp LANTAU ISLAND,
I know there's quite a few of us that sat there for quite some time and I checked the Flightaware site and I don't see anything even remotely close to a 10:05 departure for fedex from Hong Kong or even flights stateside today at all. Maybe i'm just a little mentally challenged at this point...who knows.
Just wanted to thank ya'll for all the info and patience since this is the first time i've ever participated in a forum of this magnitude!
~CHEERS~ I think we all need some Green Beers!!!

Paid with a debit card and my iPad (64 GB Black AT&T not engraved) shipped today. They haven't charged me.

I am in the same boat...I see nothing to Anchorage or stateside for today....
Just got off the phone with CS. (12:58PM CST.)I told her that I ordered on March 11 as soon as online store took orders. I said mine just got prepared for shipment while others had already received theirs. So I wanted to pay for overnight shipping. She said that because of the overwhelming orders, Apple had decided to do OVERNIGHT shipping (they're coming from China). So, she said, and I quote, "overnight shipping for your order is free. You don't have to pay anything. Apple has just decided to apply OVERNIGHT to ALL orders." And she said as soon as the package hits US soil, it should be delivered overnight.
All I can suggest is if you want to make sure, give CS a call and let them you want overnight shipping. And we'll see what happens. Hope this helps.
I will do that, thank you. If it hits US soil tonight theres a chance I can get it late tomorrow. If not, maybe even saturday? Heck Ill take it! Fedex delivers saturdays right? Oh man, theres a seriously over anxious girl on the other side of this monitor!
