There are two flights that left MEM at 1542 -- one to Salt Lake City and one to Manchester, NH. Since you live in Northern Maine, I'm assuming your iPad is going to Manchester:

Can it make to you from there in a day? You probably have a better idea than I...

Good luck

Yayyy! It must be on the one to Manchester. It will be here tomorrow then! THANKS!!!
 
good stuff. :)

scheduled delivery is wed 3/23 but i believe these will be delivered tomorrow 3/21.

what do you think?

Quite possible. I was scheduled for Tuesday.

Depends on whether the LAX dispensing trucks get the packages to their local delivery sorting areas prior to tomorrow morning. Thus, my reason for having them hold the package. If it arrives post the trucks departing for their local runs, I'll get a call that it's being held.

A truck will probably bring it the rest of the way right?

Yes. In my experience, once FedEx flies it out of one of their hubs, wherever it lands is where it is trucked from... Lucky for me, I live within 50 miles of two places that FedEx flies into...so I'm pretty hopeful that I'll see my iPad tomorrow.

Little did I guess when I ordered it in the wee hours of 11-Mar that I'd still be following its journey now...!
 
If I don't see something favorable soon, Memphis will turn into another Lantau Island for me!

Another Lantau Island?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
 
any Fedex plane leaving HKG today?

There appear to be two FedEx flights that leave Hong Kong on Monday for Memphis: FDX 048 departs HK at 8:05 pm and FDX 098 departs at 10:15pm Hong Kong time. Hong Kong is 12 hours ahead of the east coast (15 hours ahead of the west coast) which means they leave at 8:05 am and 10:15 am east coast time tomorrow (Monday) morning or 5:05 am and 7:15 am west coast time. I think. :)
 
About 10 min ago my iPad left Philly for my local FedEx hub so their is hope that I may get mine early... If not then Tuesday. So there is hope for some Sunday movement if you are hoping for a Monday delivery!!!!
 
I might not speak to you guys again after receiving my iPad. I will still use the forums but may not see you guys around. This was a wonderful journey with you guys. This was de.f memorable and a great story to tell about when I purchased my iPad 2. When my iPad delivers, I will post the entire route it took for those of you that ordered late.

iPad journeys are for life man!

Thanks for figuring all that out for us!
With my luck and being stuck on that Island for three days, I probably won't get on until the later 10:15 flight out and I don't see how it can make it to Southern California by Wed. the 23rd as promised! Oh well, I guess if it's one day later I won't die...I think!:eek:
 
It would definitely be nice if the orders go from HK straight to Memphis instead of the tour my cover too (from HK to some place in Japan, to another place in Japan, to Anchorage, to Memphis.)

I'll be glued to the tracking page tomorrow morning.

Thank you so much for that info!

My 64GB white AT&T 3G is now in Kansas City after leaving Memphis. I ordered at 2:50 am central time on the 11th. My estimated delivery is the 23rd but seeing as I am only 1 hour away from KC I am hoping for tomorrow. Tuesday at the latest!
 
So close and yet so far.....

The FedEx plane with my iPad is about to fly over my home en-route to Mather Field in Sacramento (30 minutes from home). However, the iPad is not scheduled for delivery until Tuesday...
