Add me to the list.

My wife's smart cover took the same route but was only in SENNAN-SHI for 10 hours before moving to NARITA-SHI, then Alaska.


NARITA-SHI then back to SENNAN-SHI then Alaska from what I've seen
 
why would the small business tracker not accept my tracking number?

NM, when I copied it somehow added an "E" to my number. Now I see that the package shows:

Thanks for the tip about yahoo small business tracking. I feel much better that maybe that island is history.
 
Mine must be with yours. I've got the exact-same track.

Come on now - a 3-5 day pre-order?

Everything you buy online as a 3-5 day shipping time (meaning time to prep before it ships). They need time to process an order, pack it and organize logistics to send it out.

Literally everything.

Not true.... When Apple typically has stock on hand they ship within 24 hours -- this is very common for Apple. So "Literally everything" is a bit of an exaggeration. Their shipping times typically increase when they don't have stock on hand. That's why it felt like Apple launched without having the stock ready.

Regarding the other points you made about Apple still well within the bounds of what they promised, I think that you are 100% right. But like you said, you did not direct those comments at my previous post, those were just a general statement and I do wholeheartedly agree with you on that.
 
I ordered a 64 GB WiFi 3G AT&T Black at 1:07 am on March 11 and it arrived in Memphis last night. Since it is Saturday I think it will be stuck there until Monday. I am in LA. Expected delivery is Tuesday, March 22 by 10:30 am. I note some other orders to California flew to Anchorage and then to California.
Not sure why mine flew right over me to Memphis and now must come back cross country.

This was my route:

14 iPads from this thread in one pallet?

Quite a band of travelers...are we all still together?

I wonder if they have a charging station on board? - I'd hate to get the travelers with dead batteries
 
I'm not even looking forward to getting mine next week. I've been on Spring Break all week expecting to have my iPad to mess around with and now school starts back Monday. I have 2 mid-term exams this upcoming week and I will not be able to focus with having a new iPad. :(

I ordered my smart cover (and ipad) at 3:11 on March 11 and it arrived on Saturday the 12th.
Still no movement on my iPad.
 
Here in Delaware I've had FedEx deliver on Saturdays because they don't deliver on Mondays. 4 days left for delivery... :(

I was under the impression that FedEx ground delivers to homes Tuesday thru Saturday. They take off Sunday and Monday.

Regular FedEx operates Monday thru Friday.

It's Official!!!

Apple did not meet their shipping requirement despite them telling me I would be upgraded to priority shipping and that I would receive it in the window listed on the status. Well I did not get priority shipping and my delivery date has slipped to the 24th. I ordered my 32g WI-fi 3G at 1:15pst. Wish I would have ordered from AT&T now.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
My 16GB Black WiFi & 16GB Black AT&T (5:09am PDT on 3/11) are still showing as Not Yet Shipped on Apple's website, but my credit card got temped last night for them both.
 
Sorry for going offline for awhile... Just checked on Fedex.com about mine, and it shows that it is still on Lantau Island... Yahoo on the other hand is saying that it is still sitting on the ramp at Sennan-Shi... Delivery according to Fedex.com is still 3/22/11 before 4:30pm which is still possible.

FDX82 is 42 minutes from touching down in Memphis... I just looked on flightaware.com and found that there is 1 more flight from Kansai International to Anchorage leaving at 6pm...

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX9088

Either way, a delivery of 3/22/11 is still very possible...

i think we may be on the same plane! where do u live? mines coming to NYC
 
The Fedex web site has my iPad
At local FedEx facility LANTAU ISLAND HK

Yet the Yahoo Fedex tracking has
Left FedEx Ramp SENNAN-SHI,

The Fedex web site has no update for today yet Yahoo does. I hope Yahoo is correct.
