Interesting. Mine says released for delivery. And on the fedex website it says in transit. What the hell does that mean?

I had "released for delivery" right before "left fedex sort facility." I guess I'll find out where it's going when it lands. Destination still shows "Anchorage" though.

FYI:
Mine was released along with others at 1332..
It has now been updated on Yahoo to "Held at sort facility" at 16:42.
FedEx's tracker indicates "in transit"..
Don't know which is which or what..

Mine too wth. It better be in transit...it is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!
 
I have been checking my order status on apple's website each day hoping my Apr 1 ship date may get moved up by chance. Last checked about an hour ago and I was still "Not Yet Shipped" and my credit card had not been charged. I decided to troll the internet to see if people were keeping track of order status updates to see when I might expect mine, and found my way to this forum. Randomly checked my American Express account after and saw that the charge finally got posted about 10 minutes ago (swear I checked about an hour ago and nothing was there or pending). About 2 minutes ago Apple switched my order status to "Prepared for Shipment".

I ordered my 64G Black iPad2 + AT&T 3G at 3:54PM PDT on launch day. So late launch day online purchasers, have faith. Looks like April 1 ship date / Apr 8 Delivery was a conservative estimate! Hope to find a tracking number sometime tomorrow and hopefully not too long after that I will have something to put my smart cover on...

I believe its on its way to Oakland. Timestamp matches plane departure time.

Yahoo tracking says "Left the FedEx Sort Facility," but I don't know if that means my iPad2 has left Anchorage or just moved across the cargo area. These tracking records don't appear to tell us if our iPad2's are on a flight, but only when they land somewhere. When mine left Ta Yuan Hsiang, Yahoo only said "Left the FedEx ramp."

Your good to go. What was your time stamp on the "Left the FedEx Sort Facility" (the regular fedex site should say Departed FedEx Location). That will determine if you made the 3:15 flight or 4:05 flight.

My cover landed between midnight and 1:00 am and made the 3:30 am flight from Memphis to DC, out for delivery that afternoon. Get ready to sync!

Hmm... to Oakland by 9:50p-ish, then a few hours for sorting... some out to Bay Area people, some on a flight down to LA/OC... probably by early morning... it'll be close 😎 Keeping my fingers crossed.😀
 
My iPad, like so many others is currently sitting on Lantau island.

Its a 64GB white, ATT model. I ordered it on the 11th at 4:49 AM PDT.

Date/Time Status Location
2011-03-22 23:20:00 Package in FedEx location LANTAU ISLAND,
2011-03-22 23:19:00 Package status LANTAU ISLAND,
2011-03-21 23:57:00 Package status LANTAU ISLAND,
2011-03-21 23:52:00 Package in FedEx location LANTAU ISLAND,

2011-03-20 12:58:00 Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN,
2011-03-20 12:44:00 Package received after FedEx cutoff time SHENZHEN

The thing I dont get is that Fedex shows the delivery time to be:

Ship date Mar 20, 2011
Estimated delivery Mar 24, 2011 by 4:30 PM


with no movement yet off the island, will this get to me Thursday?
 
My order for a 16 GB White Wifi iPad ordered at 0600 PDT is now prepared for shipment finally.

Of to now track it across the continent.
 
Well, mine now says held at sort facility. I'm thinking I'm screwed for the scheduled delivery tomorrow. Anyone have other thoughts?

Got it a day early! 😀 Package wasn't due until tomorrow.

Noticed an exception on Fedex tracking - said the package arrived at the distribution center after the courier left. I couldn't find the local center phone # so I called the 800 number and asked the lady if I could swing by to pick up the package. She said she would send a message to my local center and ask them to call me. I never got a call and checked my status to find out that my driver went back to the center to pick up my package. 😀😀😀

Ordered at 01:04 AM PDT, Mar 11, 2011 and the destination is the same as yours. Houston, TX.

One white 32GB Wifi+3G AT&T and one white 64GB Wifi only both arrived at AK.

One has left FedEx Sort Facility and one was still held there.

What the hell is that? The FedEx lost my 64GB in AK?

There are two different flights from Anchorage, the FDX 28 to Memphis and the FDX 92 to Newark NJ. Don't know in which one is my iPad, I'm in Florida. Perhaps in the 28.
 
Wishful Thinking or Plain old SOP for Fedex?

Mine says that too. I'm afraid we're hosed for tomorrow unless some serious overnight magic happends.
Click to expand...

Fedex was built on overnight magic. No one, or hardly anyone, did overnight delivery before Fedex mainstreamed the practice in the 80's. Years ago I recall hearting that their only central hub was Memphis. Everything went to and then from Memphis from all over the country for overnight delivery. Here in Chicago we could drop stuff off at Fed-ex at the airport as late as 11:00 or 11-something at night and it would be delivered early the next morning anyplace in the country.

Let's hope they're doing that on the final leg of my iPad's journey - so I'll be able to take it on my trip leaving early Thursday.

I am in Florida as well. Mine was updated at 3:57 Alaska time which coincides with the Newark flight...it says it left at 3:57

The problem is that fedex says it is in transit and yahoo fedex says it is being held in Alaska. If that is the case, I don't see any other flights out of Alaska within the US tonight.

yes..... I was in your shoes Mon/Tues with a Wednesday delivery date .... don't be surprised if you see it moving later tonight....

mine is currently on its way to Memphis/Durham NC
 
Don't give up on tomorrow delivery. Fed Ex is pulling some major rabbits out of their hat right now. My ipad (after sitting in China for 4.5 days) left Anchorage about an hour ago and is on its way to Oakland airport. I live near Sacramento. This could happen for me tomorrow like planned. If it doesn't, I am ok with it. I will have it for my vacation on Saturday and that is good enough for me.

Good luck everyone. I know you are anxious for your new toy. Me too.

Released for delivery 14:16.
Left the FedEx sort facility at 15:58 or 3:58pm. I hope it ran to the 4:05pm flight.
