Same Boat.

Would you know if "left the ramp" means got into a cargo area on a plane? I'm a skeptic by now having watched my iPad2 in its pallet at Lantau Island for 4+ days and "Prepared for Shipment" for 3 1/2 days - I'd be really happy if it were finally on a flight.

I ordered the same iPad 2 as you at the same time... and mine is following the same shipping schedule as you... hm...:confused:
 
I really do want my skeptism to be incorrect, really, I do. I'll leave it up to Apple to surprise me. But until then I'm not holding my breath :cool:

That's understandable, just know that many of us were skeptical/pissed/frustrated and ranting all day yesterday about the same thing... upon seeing our ipads get to Alaska today, hope has been regained...

now of course if I'm wrong and all 23rd del date people like myself do not get our iPads, skeptical/pissed/frustrated will be back with avengeance!
 
When did yours make the transition to prepared to ship. I ordered mine about 2 hours after you did so I'm just curious. Thanks

Well. I did

Mar 11, 2011 at 05:05 AM PDT - Order number XXXXXXX View order details Shipped on: Mar 22, 2011 via FEDERAL EXPRESS
Tracking #: 4687649XXXXX (Pre-sign for this shipment)
Product Qty.
IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK-USA

Now it has said prepared for shipping since saturday. I think some of the backlog is clearing up folks. So they just made it today would be the 7th business day? However in China already and says will be deleviered on 25. 3 days.. sweet.
 
The supervisor from Fed Ex (that was apparently a much smarter person that some people thought) called me this morning. She wanted to let me know that the shipment had finally be loaded on to an Anchorage flight last night and was currently being sorted in Anchorage. This same person told me the night I called that she thought it would be loaded first on the Anchorage flight. She turned out to be pretty smart. She also was kind enough to call me this morning and said she would continue to update until the package had arrived. She said she was tracing it.

Thank you Velma Williams. I think your a great employee for Fed Ex and a woman of your word.

So I guess after 5 days in a warehouse the smart/brilliant people at FedEx finally figured out what to do with a pallet that is "too big"...

In hindsight, I don't think she was BSing, but the "big pallet" was never really a problem. Only that because we were all on this big pallet, there was no chance of our iPads getting on an earlier flight. The early delivery peeps, were all lucky to be on a pallet that was bumped up onto early flights because space/logistics planning allowed for it...
 
Hi all! I ordered a black 32GB att iPad at 12:49, one of the first few to order I believe. I called apple on March 18th because i was still in "Not Yet Shipped" status to see if there was any problem. That day another family member received her shipping notice on the identical iPad purchased 10 minutes after mine. The next day mine finally shipped - here is the route so far:

The destination is Chattanooga, TN so it still has a distance to go. Apple gave me a delivery date of March 23rd, while Fedex is showing a March 24th delivery date. I'm just wondering how many people are still waiting for iPads that purchased before the 1am online store launch?

Mine is the same model on the same shipment headed to Ohio with the same delivery dates. My order was placed at 1:07.
 
The first thing I did was pre-sign for my shipment. You print out the paper and attach it to your door... The fedex guy takes the paper and leaves your package wherever you instruct on the paper. Simple and secure... for your nerves anyway. :)

Cody, where did you find the form to leave for Fedex?

Log into your Apple account in the store and view your order status or view the shipment confirmation email and click where it says to pre-sign for the shipment. You will have to agree to the TandC's and then it will show you the paper to print out for FedEx.

That would've been great, but I don't have a printer :)

I am typing this from my iPad! It's my first iPad.
 
Yahoo's tracker certainly seems more up-to-date

On the FedEx site, my status hasn't been updated since 3/21 (last scan at Lantau). I just checked Yahoo and it turns out my iPad left Lantau on 3/22, had a brief stop in Taiwan and is now in the air again.

Odd how Yahoo can have more current FedEx info than FedEx does.
 
it's awesome!

Ordered 3/11 @ 1:17PST :: arrived today!

Tulsa Deliveries?

Anyone on here had their iPad delivered to Tulsa, OK? If so please post your tracking info from once it hit the states. Trying to gauge when mine will arrive. It isn't due until Thursday but it sounds like a lot are getting here early by a day or so. I leave for vacation tomorrow evening and really want to get my hands on it and get it synced before I go.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
 
Got an email from fedex customer relations last night elling me my package was in AK and should be delivered tomorrow. My tracking said 24th and I live in PA I hope she is right.

32 gb black AT&T 3G I can't wait

I can't believe that mine arrived in Memphis on the same place and couldn't be sent on either of the next two planes to Jersey. :mad: Very happy for you though:)
