Ok, been seeing a lot of people close to the time I ordered having their status change to: Prepare to ship. So i've been cking mine all day here/there...

I took a nap....did some other stuff, n decided ok...maybe mine changed now...

AND :) yep! FINALLY...says "Prepared to ship"

Ordered 16gb wh wifi on 3/11 @ 7:20am PDT (no engraving)

Ship date still the same - April 1
Delivers - April 8

Hmm wonder if ship/deliver dates will get moved up? ya, wishful thinking..lol

2011-03-22 15:58:00 Left FedEx Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK


here http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX92

Mine left at 15:58 as well, but the flight is more likely FDX28 since that flight left at 15:58, while FDX92 left at 15:53 (5 minutes before it left the sorting facility).

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX28

The other reason FDX28 is more likely is because both my Cover and Adapter came in on a flight via Mephis:

Mar 18, 2011 8:37 AM On FedEx vehicle for delivery XXXX, NJ
Mar 18, 2011 8:34 AM At local FedEx facility XXXX, NJ
Mar 18, 2011 6:43 AM At dest sort facility PHILADELPHIA, PA
Mar 18, 2011 3:40 AM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Mar 18, 2011 12:46 AM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Mar 17, 2011 3:30 PM Departed FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK
 
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.

In the same boat...also in Sac (Natomas). I think our iP2s are on FEX86, which is scheduled to arrive in OAK at 9:47. Good luck to us both. :)

Prepared for Shipment

IPAD WI-FI 16GB WHITE
 
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,
2011-03-21 01:13:00 In transit LANTAU ISLAND,
2011-03-21 00:55:00 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?

In the same boat as you. Been watching the last 3 days with nothing new. Kinda depressing. Still hoping for a on time delivery though.
 
Like someone else who posted, my iPad has a different status depending on which site you're looking at.

On the Yahoo! Small Business tracking site...
2011-03-22 15:57:00 Held at Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK
2011-03-22 12:52:00 Released for delivery ANCHORAGE, AK
2011-03-22 06:00:00 Arrived at Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK

On the FedEx site...
Mar 22, 2011 3:57 PM In transit ANCHORAGE, AK
Mar 22, 2011 11:39 AM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK
Mar 22, 2011 6:00 AM Arrived at FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK

It looks like the flight to MEM left at 3:58 PM, so hopefully it's on that flight.

Estimated delivery is still showing "Mar 23, 2011 by 4:30 PM." I'm just a few hour truck ride from Memphis, so it's definitely doable (ETA in MEM is 12:43 AM).

Los Angeles here. From Oakland, does it go to LAX or Ontario? Wish it would go to Burbank but doubtful. Its so close I can taste it!!!:p
 
CONGRATS mcirish! I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow.
Been following your posts. Thanks for all the info!
Have fun with your shiny new iPad!:D

Thanks DotCom2. We have had a long flight and my ipad is tired, but happy. I have been cranky off and on for a few days. I need to learn to to obsess so much. We will all have fun with our shiny new ipads in no time. I wish the best to everyone waiting. Especially the ones that obsess like me. :eek: Been quite a journey from our birthplace in China, hasn't it DotCom?

We have spent a lot of time together in the past couple of weeks WhoDatNinja. I am sure our ipads are good friends by now. If it starts a facetime conversation without our permission, I am sure it is because they just wanted to catch up with each other!

Have fun with your new toy. This has been a long haul.

Truly a long haul. Not that I haven't enjoyed the company along the way (misery loves company :p), I'm just glad it will be over tomorrow.

Next round, Apple needs to get it's ***** together and offer pre-orders. This launch was probably the worst that I've ever seen. Glad it's done!

Seeing all these prepared for shipping and they were placed on the 11th. I placed my order on the 15th. It really depresses me to know that I will not get my iPad 2 until the end of April.:(

I feel your pain vi. The best thing you can do is not read here too often. It depressed me too to watch people getting their iPads and mine was still sitting in the FedEx building in China. I stopped coming here so often and got on with life. I know it is hard when you want a new toy. :p

Hang tough vi, you are in a better position that lots of people. You will have your new shiny iPad soon enough.

Ok, so fedex is stating a delivery date of the 24th here in CT. It's now 1:19 am on wednesday the 23rd and both fedex and yahoo are stating my package is still on Lantau. Who here thinks or even better, knows that my package could realisticly still make it to CT by the 24th?
 
Finally made it to Oakland

Been lurking in this thread for quite awhile and I must say it has been really helpful on how to cope with the iPad 2 anxiety (read as long wait times in Lantau Island, hahaha). Hopefully FEDEX and apple make it to their promise of delivery in Southern California by tomorrow :)
 
Landed in Oakland....

Mar 22, 2011 10:02 PM Arrived at FedEx location OAKLAND, CA

How will it move from OAK to L.A.? Flight or truck?
