My iPad got to Alaska this afternoon, and was released for delivery at 5:10pm eastern. Any chance it'll move to the lower 48 before Monday, or does FedEx shut down completely on Sundays?
 
Apparently mine is stuck at Pleasure Island and not wanting to leave.

Dear iPad2-Black-32 AT&T Engraved - Purchased 3/11 12:27am PDT,
Those of us working in the office realize how much you have enjoyed your sushi-eating, island-hopping, journey through the Far East. Additionally, we all know that there is nothing as beautiful as the full moon rising over Denali. However, it is time to get your semi-conductor behind back to Florida and back to work. During your hopefully brief lay-over in Memphis, please pick up 25 lbs. of Corky's Ribs for the office.
Save Travels.
Your Boss
 
received your iPad shipping notice

ordered 64G Black wifi at 6:39am EST on 3/11 and just went to prepared for shipment.
BTW, ordered a video cable and cover at the same time. One shipped quickly and the other sat in scenic Hong Kong for 2 days. They both ended up in the same delivery. From Hong Kong to Alaska and direct to Newark... Faster than my Continental commercial flights!
 
That would be AMAZING! It does look like a Philly delivery won't happen until the estimated delivery of Tuesday - stupid Lantau Island...

Well, at least your delivery is delayed by travel that still needs to happen. Mine is here in my hometown being held until Tuesday...Monday, if I can talk them into releasing it early.

True. Just frustrating that the extra day was because it sat at Lantau for nearly 2 days. This whole shipping process would be much less stressful if we couldn't track every movement online, I feel like. But since we can get up-to-the-minute status updates, we aren't content with FedEx simply hitting its estimate.

...for those iPads in Anchorage...

FDX 014 isn't mine. :( :( :( Waiting for 4:45...

Yes, my iPad is not on FDX 014 either...but there are at least three more flights to Memphis from Anchorage:
FDX 5092 departure sched 1645 local (2045 EDT)
FDX 0084 departure sched 1645 local
FDX 0026 departure sched 1830 local (2230 EDT)

Including the aircraft already launched, that's 4 MD11s going to Memphis...that's a lot of freight capacity...I can't believe that our iPads won't be on one of those flights...

And there's a flight from Anchorage to Newark...
FDX 0092 departure sched 1815 local (2215 EDT)

So lots of opportunities for us awaiting iPads who live in the Central and Eastern US...and there may be a flight from ANC to Oakland later tonight...

Keeping my fingers crossed!
