I meant to say FedEx HOME operates Tues thru Sat and regular FedEx, Mon thru Friday.

I talked to "Phillip" at Apple Customer Service this morning and he said that Fed Ex flies 7 day a week. Don't bother calling. They are curt and don't care a bit that your iPad is taking two weeks when you ordered because it said "fast shipping". I told him that fast shipping is not two weeks. Especially not when it said "ships in 3-5 days" when you order.

I think mine is sitting under a bin somewhere. Can someone please move the bins around and pick it up? :p
 
My shipping just updated and guess what? I am still in Lantau. It has now been sitting in Lantau from the 18th (their time) at 9:00 am till the 20th (their time) 12:21 am. No progress at all.

Exact same update on my account. Guess we're in the same batch
 
Wow. I love flightaware. It says out iPads are less than an hour from Ancorage. (if on FDX158). If customs is quick I will be on track for my scheduled tuesday delivery.

It looks like mine is in the same batch as a bunch of others here. Black 64GB ATT ordered at 1:27am PST.

All these "Package Stati" notices in our shipping, especially for those who leave Lantau Island only to return later, makes me think the packages are being set up for loading onto the plane. Mine is set for delivery in VA on the 23rd. So flying out tonight sometime for the next destination seems to make sense.

You both must try the tracking on smallbusiness.yahoo.com. My FedEx track is the same as yours but the other one shows me having left Japan. You are probably both about to land in Alaska in less than an hour.

The public FedEx site just does not seem to get updated as quickly as others. They know they have to let their business customers see it quicker.

I stand corrected, were headed to Anchorage. The times are an exact match.

Yes...thus far I've counted 27-28 folks who have posted on this thread (including us) as having iPads on FDX 158 that should touch down in Anchorage around 1549 EDT. As follows:
marchj2 - SABFla - Steix - EmmanuelJB - Technicalspeak - CharlesCain PMP - you (msesha87) - egoldner96 - whudat - BC2009 - aribraun - Alleywood - mb335 - vern1700 - cbrniner - mrFgahanna - jr678 - dkhubb - Upgraded - tdog4444 - Zitro - KauaiBruce - ux-mom - MacAppleMan - dprince
...and maybe (I'm not sure) "rcpiv"

I wonder how many iPads are on this airplane? It would seem a lot...

Let's hope they go on to Memphis or a Sort Facility near you tonight!
 
Mine finally made it to the islands...

I was hoping for a quick flight since I'm only part-way across the Pacific from China -- but it took the long way, via Memphis (?!).

I ordered mine: Mar 11, 2011 at 01:04 AM PDT. White, WiFi, 64GB.

Would have ordered it earlier, but we got evacuated because of the Tsunami...

Here's the tracking info:

Memphis will be the next stop....
 
Packages that make it to Anchorage this early in the day usually leave the same day. We'll be syncing those babies Monday - well you will. I have school all morning then straight to work all night.

Sadly Monday I start my student teaching so... I'll have to wait until Tuesday but then I have school... but we'll play around with it in class. I feel like our ipads are bffs now and they need to have an ipad party.
 
IPAD WI-FI 3G 16GB BLACK-AT&T ordered at 4:05 PDT just changed to prepared for shipping. I was in the second wave of 5-7 business day wait so its on pace to ship out in that 7 day range.
 
Black 64GB AT&T

Same here: Black 64GB AT&T.

I wonder if it will get to Fed Ex on a Saturday or not move to shipped until Monday?
 
Another ships in 5-7 days order just went to "Prepared for shipment"

I ordered at 4:18 am PDT on March 11th

They are indeed bffs and I sure will be doing a lot of playing around with it in class (especially labs). I'm just happy I'll have it early next week because I need to load up my lectures, I've already ditched my original iPad.
