to much obsession

I think that it is a waste of time to even call them because they can't do anything about this. I'm not saying this because mine shipped. They had nothing to do with mine shipping.

It just amazes me that so many people are obsessed with getting their hands on this device. Continually calling a CSR doesnt accomplish anything except aggravating a CSR, no wonder they will tell us anything to clear the line and move on to the next complaint! If my math is right the earliest orders should arrive within the guarenteed dates.
 
so heres what I am hoping for. There is a flight that left from Taiwan an is headed to anchorage that should be there today at 2:15 Alaska time. If our ipads got on it then it is possible that you will get yours tomorrow. Mine says that it isnt estimated until the 22nd though, so lets hope yours is the right one.

My ipad is following the same exact pattern as the one listed. All our little guys are on the same plane

Mine says the 22nd too. I am just hoping for a Friday Delivery... Like I said before I live in Northern Maine, so unless the plane from Alaska goes to Mass NH, or another state REALLY close to Maine there is no way...
 
Those who are now in Taiwan with this tracking info:

Looks like there is a flight to Anchorage scheduled at 20:30 UCT (or 4:30 pm EST): http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX14
Maybe we will be on that one?

From Anchorage it looks like that flight goes on to Indianapolis.

totally missed that. my Ipad is hanging with yours at this point. I dont know if it will go to indianapolis though. I am in cali, maybe theres a flight from there to cali. hope mine clears customs quick enough to get the plane to oakland
 
Has everyones iPad that ordered before 9am at least been prepared for shipment yet? Isn't this the 5th and final business day for all iPads to ship?

I have the same exact status as you. Not really sure how that's possible though since it was just packaged at 1253am local time, 1253pm (3 hours ago) EST. Do you have a link to that flight?

Hope I'm wrong and you're right!
 
So what's the latest info on orders? i see people who order around 1:40PST will be getting their ipad 2 by tomorrow. What's the latest time of order that someone has received already?
 
Im glad im not the only impatient one here. 'Cause man, I feel like I have no life lol. My biggest concern is a neighbor signing for it because Im not in town and then not giving it to me, or acting like they never got it :(. How can I protect myself from this when the damn shipment type is "indirect signature required"??
 
So mine moved to "prepared for shipment" at 6:20pm EST yesterday, its been almost 24 hours and no movement. Has anyone that moved to "prepared for shipment" yesterday shipped yet?

12:44 am PST on the 11th.

Yes, flipped to "prepared" yesterday evening, shipped this morning. It's a 64 gig but shouldn't make a difference.

Nope. Same config as yours, ordered an hour after, and still in PFS since yesterday at 4PM PDT

I believe the FedEx status will say delivered and signed for and who signed for it.
 
Everyone who ordered before 9 AM.

Nope. I ordered on 3:40 AM Cali time: showed 3-5 when I was selecting, 5-7 by the time I completed the order. I created a poll for everyone who ordered by 9 AM, you can contribute and check out the results here:

NOTE: Since only a few people who got their ipads went back to update their original entry, the poll is no longer up-to date. I have reset the participants. Earlier entries can be found here:

Thanks! I think by 6pm (EST) we should all have some kind of update of US arrival. At least those who left Japan at Mar 17 23:00 their time.

I'm hoping so too. I won't be at work at the time it arrives either, so I'll have to rely on Yahoo tracking instead. Hopefully there will be some sort of update to at least tell if it's reached the US!
 
Here is my tracking info. It's going to California. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow. But FedEx is saying Monday by 10:30. :( I didn't miss any cutoff, so what are the chances it arrives by tomorrow?

if your iPad is in TA YUAN HSIANG (like mine) it will be taking this route

2011-03-14 13:58:00 Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN, *
2011-03-14 07:11:00 Picked up by FedEx SHENZHEN, *

so it is not headed to Anchorage


if your iPad is sitting here

2011-03-14 22:32:00 Left FedEx Ramp LANTAU ISLAND, *
2011-03-14 22:32:00 Left FedEx Ramp CHEK LAP KOK, *
2011-03-14 17:10:00 Package status LANTAU ISLAND, *
2011-03-14 16:44:00 In transit LANTAU ISLAND, *
2011-03-14 13:58:00 Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN, *
2011-03-14 07:11:00 Picked up by FedEx SHENZHEN, *

then it may be headed to Anchorage

the destination after Lantau Island just about tells it all

I did my research (please believe me) and I know this based on all the past shipments I've gotten from Apple and the posts I've seen here. Don't believe me? Just wait for your next shipping update.

Haven't seen anyone's tracking info showing theirs in Sennan-Shi....where the heck is that?
