My smart cover is stuck in Anchorage and my iPad is stuck in SENNAN-SHI. I checked some prior flights back a couple weeks and noticed that fedex don't have any flights leaving these locations on Fridays and Sundays (ever). I guess mine is on vacation until tomorrow and hopefully they make it to the states before Sunday so I can have them in my local facility Monday.

here are some past flights from Anchorage

Interesting... My smart cover came from MEMPHIS, TN to Chicago earlier this week. Took 3 days from day of purchase(3/11) to get delivered.
 
Attn: BC2009!

BC2009 - Thanks for the laugh - love your sense of humor! My new little employee is currently enjoying the sights of Lantau Island. I wish she was taking a few videos along the way so I could enjoy it, too!
 
Attention all iPad 2's!!!! Apple & FedEx are offering you the chance for that Chinese Vacation you have been waiting for!!! Sure the boss beckons you to get to work in the United States, but before you go, why not take in everything China has to offer???....

Dude you are hysterical! Well played...
 
Fed ex website says they do

I think they will just because of Apple. There is no reason for them to say it if they aren't going to do it.

In North County got mine yesterday. Sorry for everyone else's wait though and my poor sister is one of you and she ordered before me.
 
My new employee also took advantage of this all inclusive "See the Sights of Asia" package. My new little employee is probably sitting right next to yours discussing how much more time they can milk out of this excursion.

Lol that story was great. Someone has great imagination.

Woopie, my Ipad cover that was ordered after the Ipad will get to me today, while the pad is still out shooting with Palin in Alaska.
 
I've concluded FedEx doesn't like to be early as my iPad has been chilin in memphis since it arrived around 1240am local time. Almost 12 hours later, still there.
 
my ipad is in Sennan
my cover is in Anchorage

Yep mine is hanging out in Memphis too. I am in Atlanta and scheduled for delivery 3/22 before 12:00.
 
while i can't wait to use my ipad2 this wouldn't be so bad if i didn't sell my orignal ipad on Monday.:(
 
My 64 GB ATT Black shipped this morning. It was originally scheduled to arrive March 23, but it got an "Exception" (missed the Fedex cutoff) and is now scheduled to arrive on the 24th.

Right now it's chilling in the Lantau Island, HK Fedex center. Based on my other shipped items, it takes 3 to 4 days to arrive once in HK. I don't supposed Fedex flies over the weekend?
 
BLARGH. That is all.

Mine has been hanging out in Anchorage. Maybe it's picking up some King Crab to surprise me with. :D

I'm northwest of Atlanta. My "estimated delivery" is today by 4:30pm. Yeah, right.... Maybe Monday :(
 
overnight is express that is what handles their 2day shipping too. I am 95% sure that is how does international but I only took in the packages when I worked for FedEx...I did not deliver...but I think that Express (overnight or 2day US shipping) was who picked up for international.

Well, fingers crossed then - I have International Priority - but I won't hold my breath.

Attention all iPad 2's!!!! Apple & FedEx are offering you the chance for that Chinese Vacation you have been waiting for!!! Sure the boss beckons you to get to work in the United States, but before you go, why not take in everything China has to offer???

Now, most iPad 2's hear the call to go to work and jump right at the chance. But why not enjoy 3 days and 2 nights at our all-inclusive resort in beautiful Shenzen, China? We'll cover for you by taking the boss' calls and telling him you are "Prepared for Shipment" -- he will never know about the fun you are having.

After that it is off to Lantau Island!!!

2011-03-16 10:34:00 In transit LANTAU ISLAND,

Now there is an international airport located here where you could catch a flight directly to Memphis or Anchorage, but what is your hurry? After all, Hong Kong is beautiful this time of year. Take your time and enjoy all that our Lantau Island resort has to offer....

Why not even try one of our excursions over to Chek Lap Kok while staying at our Lantau Island resort? We'll provide the round-trip transportation....

After your stay in Lantau Island it is off to Ta Yuan Hsiang. Again, there is an international airport here where you can make a quick hop, skip and a jump to Anchorage or Memphis, but like we said before, what is your rush? Taiwan has many sights to see, including watching the planes that you opted not to board take off for Anchorage.

From Ta Yuan Hsiang, we'll whisk you off to Sennan-Shi...

Now by this point you are probably thinking that this is too much fun and the boss is going to become suspicious. Don't worry about that, while we are keeping track of all your fun events, our public-facing web portal won't give away your current location. We'll just make it look like your stuck in Hong Kong waiting for your flight.

So what are you waiting for? Why follow all the iPad 2's that were ordered much later than 1:01am PST on March 11th? They are already slaves to their new bosses. Why not have some fun and vacation before starting that new job? You deserve it!

Just remember with a trip like this make sure to take plenty of good pictures and videos of the fun you had with those shiny new cameras (disclaimer: the quality of still photos may be extremely poor).

If interested contact Apple or FedEx for details for how you sign up for this incredible package deal.

OMFG!! ROOOOOFL!!!

That was the funniest thing i've read in a long time... was literally LOLing at my desk at work :D

Thanks for winning.
 
at least my 1:22 a.m. launch order did finally ship - in the window they said it would ship - and it is on Lantau Island, H.K.

from this point, I can breathe a sigh of relief. it's on the way. I had worried it might get shunted, somehow, to a much later date.
 
My ipad has gone mising....

It left SHENZHEN at 17:00 local time. It is now 01:40 the next day. No new scan. Nothing.

I am deeply concerned that FedEx lost my package. And this info is from the Yahoo site, which gives far more info than FedEx's site.
 
Well, fingers crossed then - I have International Priority - but I won't hold my breath.


I just realized that somethings on my apple order say: Shipped via Federal Express and some say shipped via Fedex ground. My iPad does say Federal express... would anyone know if Express Delivery would indicate the possibility of a saturday delivery?
 
I think mine jumped ship after it got to Lantau Island. No doubt out partying with drunken sailors.
My original delivery date was Mar 23. But sometime after it hit Lantau Island, Fedex moved the delivery date out to Mar 24.
Oye!!
