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!


and me :d
 
Prepared for Shipment!

iPad2 64 gb At&T - ordered 7:13 AM ET, 3/11/11 - FINALLY "Prepared for shipment." Shipment info originally said "ships in 5-7 days, delivery 3/22-3/29. Here's hoping for early next week...
 
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 am using Yahoo Small Business Tracker. Here is a screen shot. Still in China. I think we are on a slow boat!

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.

This is my first. Everyone else in my program has one, I think, and I'm jealous. I justified this ipad for school.
 
5-7 pfs

I've watched this thread for the first round so I thought it only right to contribute myself.

Order Date: Mar 11, 2011 at 04:48 AM PDT
IPAD WI-FI 3G 64GB BLACK-USA
Ships: 5 - 7 business days
Delivers: Mar 22 - Mar 29

Went Prepared for Shipment around 2pm CST today.

Ordered Camera kit at same time and received it Weds 16th.
Ordered tan smart cover Tuesday and is presently at local Fed-Ex to be delivered Monday.

Thanks everyone for the information and in some cases the entertainment.
 
Mine has just been chilling at the stupid Lantau Islands for over a day. What gives? Have other people had their iPad sit at one stop for over 24 hours?

Mine is also on this flight. Mine is due to be here in NYC on Tuesday. :D:D:D

Should be here on time according to Apple Customer Service. They are building the plane now and training the pilot. :eek: Mine will be personally delivered by Tom Hanks. I have named my iPad "Wilson"

Ordered same iPad - one hour and 2 minutes earlier and still "yet to ship."
 
Sweet bookmarks. Do I even want to know how "Secrets to extending..." ends? :(

HAHAHAHAH!!!!!



This is why I crop everything out.

Supposed to be here on the 22nd. Right now it is spending some time in Japan. How long does it take from Japan to say Seattle area?
 
Don't use the FedEx Tracker

Try the Yahoo small business FedEx tracker at
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/r-packageTracker-s-fedex

The FedEx tracker is USELESS for knowing where your iPad is...it still shows my iPad in the land of Lantau Island, while since then, it's been to Taiwan, Japan, and is now almost in Anchorage. Meanwhile, the Yahoo tracker shows the real story...
 
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:

You are the second person I have seen on this forum whose Ipad got shipped out of Memphis today. My Ipad arrived at the Memphis sort facility at 12:09am this morning after it had been released for delivery. It is still sitting there. I am in LA. You would think if they shipped to Hawaii today they could have dropped off a load in LA.
 
Ordered same iPad - one hour and 2 minutes earlier and still "yet to ship."

A bunch of these just started changing to prepared to ship in last few hours. No email for that status change, so good chance you'll see a change today
 
Touchdown in AK!

Yay! it is in Anchorage! :D:D:D

Thanks for the help, but Yahoo! only reaffirms what FedEx.com has been saying. The package has been at the FedEx location on Lantau Island for over a day.

Feels good to finally have my ipad on American soil, though I consider Alaska more of an extension from Canada...

Mine too has been sitting on Lantau Island since midday on the 17th. I guess this is the result of Apple's "fast" shipping being economy instead of priority. However, it might also be that the planes are full of Apple products already and FedEx isn't willing to anger their millions of other customers by flying planes full of iPads just so us fanboys can have them quicker.
 
this little sob is hanging out in memphis. he better bring me some bbq when he gets here.

starting to get pissed that it hit memphis soil just before midnight last night and is just chilling there. get it moving. there are plenty of ways to get to ct by monday. ps my edd is tues

I agree ... I see no reason why mine can't make it to PA by monday, especially since FedEx has me marked Express. It says 2 day on mine, which being "shipped" (ie. Docked in China) on the 17th, that means it should be here Monday. They are making it REALLY difficult to be understanding.

Don't forget it is so close to Russia you can see it. :D

Happy to say mine just arrived in Alaska also. Tuesday is looking good.
