I also missed those 2 early morning flights to NJ. There are no other flights today. So expecting Thursday which is what fedex is telling me now.

Mine is still showing tomorrow, so there is a glimmer of hope. I am in Essex County NJ. Where are you expecting delivery?

Ugh, same here. Thought mine would be on one of the FedEx flights this AM but guess not. Although I'm still holding out hope that maybe mine will just "appear" in Alaska later or something, and I just missed a scan like a couple other people have reported.
 
I'm right there with you. I believe they are on FedEx flight 14 to Anchorage. If so it is due to arrive there around noon Anchorage time.

From there I'm not sure in looking at the history of this flight from last week it sometimes went to Indianaplois and sometime to Memphis.

For the TA YUAN HSIANG crowd, do you think delivery by 3/23 is realistic?
 
Thursday's promised delivery date is seeming less likely, as I'm still sitting in Hong Kong, and this has to get across to New York:

Especially when I see so many of you folks sitting/having sat on Lantau Island for longer than mine.

On the upside, FedEx are looking good to delivery the wine I bought from Woot right on time on Thursday. So at least I'll be able to comfort myself with something...

My Black 64 AT&T finally made it to Alaska after 4 days of being stuck on Lantau island. At this point, it can either behave like my cover I ordered and arrive 2 days from now or like the adapter I ordered and arrive tomorrow. It should have gotten there early enough for it to arrive tomorrow based on my last order. The FlightTracker site is not showing any FedEx flights out of PANC for the next few days, but that can't be correct. It looks like the site doesn't show future FedEx flights.
 
Well, I'm off "The Island"

Finally!! After 4 days in the iPad detainment camp called Lantau Island - mine is now in Alaska! :rolleyes:

I hope so. It just left Taiwan I am assuming for Alaska...should be in Alaska in a few hours. Then it will be going to Memphis. It should travel overnight from Memphis to your local fedex hub.

If I remember right with iPad1, mine went from Alaska to Memphis to Jacksonville to Orlando in less than 24 hours and arrived at my local Daytona Beach fedex location at about 9:00 a.m. (obviously after the morning delivery trucks left).

They sent a van out I am guessing with items scheduled for delivery that day that didn't make the morning trucks and I got it at about 10:30 a.m.

At least I hope this is what is going to happen because I am not going to work tomorrow so I can be home for fedex.

Apple must not sell many Applecare! I keep getting different answer on, if it ships with my Ipad or not :confused:
 
Applecare is just an envelope and will arrive a week or so after the iPad. But, if you buy them at the same time, Apple auto-activates applecare anyway.
 
Should make 3/23 delivery

I hope so. It just left Taiwan I am assuming for Alaska...should be in Alaska in a few hours. Then it will be going to Memphis. It should travel overnight from Memphis to your local fedex hub.

If I remember right with iPad1, mine went from Alaska to Memphis to Jacksonville to Orlando in less than 24 hours and arrived at my local Daytona Beach fedex location at about 9:00 a.m. (obviously after the morning delivery trucks left).

At least I hope this is what is going to happen because I am not going to work tomorrow so I can be home for fedex.

I also think they will be delivered on 3/23. A lot depends on how long they sit in Anchorage and where the flight goes to from there. It could be going to either Memphis or Indianapolis based on what I found in the history of this flight from last week.
 
Having trouble tracking down flights outbound from Anchorage to destinations east (Memphis, Newark, etc). Anyone have that list handy and can post a link?
 
Ugh, same here. Thought mine would be on one of the FedEx flights this AM but guess not. Although I'm still holding out hope that maybe mine will just "appear" in Alaska later or something, and I just missed a scan like a couple other people have reported.

Ugh, nevermind - didn't miss a scan. Just got another status update - still in Lantau. My delivery date is still listed as 3/24 but I'm seriously doubting it's possible for my iPad to get here (I'm in Boston) by then. :(

Not to try to stay on topic or anything but has anyone received any new iPad 2 shipping notices?
 
So everyone who's iPad just arrived in Anchorage, is everyone's a Black AT&T?

Mine is. I've got two coming on that flight. I live in Nashville so I'm thinking it will get here tomorrow since it's probably headed to Memphis after Alaska. I can't believe it's taking two weeks to get this thing to me. This product launch was ridiculous.

the same boat! Friday's fedex quote was delivery by March 23rd at 4:30 but now, the date is March 24th :(:(:(
 
I found another flight tracker service which shows a few future FedEx flights and the current plane position on the map for current flights so you can watch your plane fly. They also have an iPhone app, but it costs $2.99.

For the most part though, it looks like Fed Ex doesn't file their flight plans until shortly before take off.
 
still on the island, really want this thing delivered by the weekend

Mine (with many others) was in Lantau until today 1am EST, now it is in Anchorage and hopefully on a flight to Newark leaving today around 7:50PM EST arriving 2am EST. If yours leaves on the 1AM flight tonight, yes there is certainly a chance you will have it on time. If FedEx is still showing that date, there is no reason to believe otherwise. There have been very few people who posted that their order arrived LATER than the estimated date. Only ones that I remember seeing were orders who were delayed in the local delivery to their house... it should at least get to your local sorting facility by that date.
