Nothing new on FedEx.com or Yahoo since my last! Still showsin AK, "RELEASED FOR DELIVERY" on 3/22 at 1413. I still have delivery date of today showing.

I called FedEx and CS said arrived on OAK for delivery today! Try calling and speaking to a human. The automated info just said it was en route to the destination facility for delivery today.

Cool thanks. I just called the 1800gofedex number and listened to the automated message and it told me that it was on its way to my local sort facility and would be delivered today. I am going to choose to believe that.
 
Mine still shows "In Transit" from Alaska since yesterday afternoon, so it is good to know that even though the tracking hasn't updated that it might still be delivered today as scheduled.

I'm guessing that yours is also being held in Alaska and it is not really in transit. Check the tracking here http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/r-packageTracker-s-fedex

It is much more reliable and complete than FedEx's own website (I have no idea why.)
 
I am trying to understand why some were left behind in Alaska who have shipping dates of today and I see other postings showing that others have delivery dates of 3/24 who will now receive theirs a day early.

Did anyone else select the option to have your package held at a local FedEx facility because you weren't able to be home today? That is my scenario.

I feel bad for those who haven't been watching Yahoo tracker who still believe theirs is coming today because FedEx hasn't at least updated their delivery date. Many probably took a day off so they could be there.

Not a good business practice FedEx.:mad:

Mine was scheduled for today and is now in Tulsa. Should b delivered today. I was worried after spending almost 5 days in hong kong. Fed ex better not screw it up. When I got my av cord.... It was scheduled to b delivered on the 16th. No attempt was made and they put a delivery exception on it with wrong address. I had to call 3 times and finally got it delivered on the 21st. Of they do this today I will not b happy.

Hey all, been following this thread for a few days now, my 32 GB Black WiFi was also stuck on the island. Just for the fun of it I decided to check Yahoo tracking, and saw that it left NARITA-SHI a few hours ago, yet FedEx site didn't have a change since yesterday morning, didn't even list the CHEK LAP KOK stop it made. I still have hopes for a 3/24 by 4:30 delivery to Pittsburgh!

Thanks for the tip with yahoo tracking. Mine is showing movement vs. the fedex site as well.

It is much more reliable and complete than FedEx's own website (I have no idea why.)

Yes, I have been tracking on FedEx's site, as well as Yahoo, but I just called the automated system to get the real information. Here is what they all say:

Yahoo: "Held at Sort Facility" - Anchorage, AK
FedEx: "In transit" - Anchorage, AK
Phone: On it's way to the delivery station for delivery today.

Interesting how they can all be so different, but the phone seems to be the most accurate (and hopeful!)
 
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.
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX28

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).
Mine is still showing these same statuses. I called the automated number, and they say deliver will be today and that the package is on its way to the station that delivers to my zip code. I guess we'll see.

Exactly the same situation for me.

I called and got the same.

Yahoo: Arrived at Sort Facility MEMPHIS, TN
Fedex: Int'l shipment release MEMPHIS, TN
Fedex phone: On its way to delivery station for delivery today.
 
Mine status just changed from Lantau to Narita-shi Japan. With delivery in Orlando still saying today(not happening), but does anybody know if tomorrow is realistic? Why did mine go to Japan btw?

This is my guess...every scan that FedEx makes has some sort of a code attached to it. When yahoo calls FedEx's api, my guess is that they just interpret some of these codes differently than FedEx tracking website does. So code ABC means in transit to FedEx but it means Held at Sort Facility to yahoo.

Also while FedEx does not show all of the scans...i.e. the stop over in Taiwan...I am guessing that the packages never really left the plane so the tracking codes associated with that, FedEx did not bother displaying but yahoo did.
 
My black 16gb at&t just arrived and in my hands. I was suprise I got it so early. Ordered on launch day at 4:12am.
 
Flight from Taiwan

This is my guess...every scan that FedEx makes has some sort of a code attached to it. When yahoo calls FedEx's api, my guess is that they just interpret some of these codes differently than FedEx tracking website does. So code ABC means in transit to FedEx but it means Held at Sort Facility to yahoo.

Also while FedEx does not show all of the scans...i.e. the stop over in Taiwan...I am guessing that the packages never really left the plane so the tracking codes associated with that, FedEx did not bother displaying but yahoo did.

From your comments you were also on the flight from Taiwan yesterday.

Was there anyone on that flight that wasn't held at the Anchorage Sort Facility?
 
Mine status just changed from Lantau to Narita-shi Japan. With delivery in Orlando still saying today(not happening), but does anybody know if tomorrow is realistic? Why did mine go to Japan btw?

Mine went from Lantau on the 22nd to Out For Delivery on the 23rd. Tomorrow could happen for your delivery.
 
Predictable

If anything Apple and subsequently FedEx's behavior has been predictable...as everyone has said -- I'd see movement on my iPad the day prior to the promised delivery date by FedEx and this rang true. Left FedEx Ramp 'Chek Lap Kok'/'Lantau Island' at 20:01:00 and 20:05:00 respectively. Assume it is either en route to Memphis or Anchorage for an on-time delivery by 4:30p tomorrow (destination: Atlanta, GA).:)

Here's my tracking info per Yahoo FedEx Small Business (normal FedEx site still shows it sitting on the Island):

2011-03-23 20:05:00 Left FedEx Ramp LANTAU ISLAND,
2011-03-23 20:01:00 Left FedEx Ramp CHEK LAP KOK,

2011-03-20 12:57:00 Left FedEx Origin Location SHENZHEN,
2011-03-20 12:44:00 Package received after FedEx cutoff time SHENZHEN

Well, guess that means I won't receive it today as Apple showed on the shipment notification, but I'm wondering if I'll receive it tomorrow as FedEX indicates?

Ladies and gents, we have lift off. Ipad made it's great escape around 1:20 am. Thx for seeing me thru olegandbuster! Hope you enjoy the pad as much as ill enjoy it.

Where did yours head to after Lantau Island? Mine, both of them thankfully, went to Chek Lap Kok at 1:21am local time, then got to Narita, Japan at 5:47am local time, then left Narita just now, around 7:45am. I'm assuming they're headed for Anchorage now, but also wouldn't be surprised if there's another stopover in Asia.

Mine took the same path yours has. Is your estimated arrival for tomorrow also? Seems like enough time to get here by then.

Chek Lap Kok is the airport basically... Not even sure why they list it when they do
 
Schedule from Order to Delivery

Something I do NOT have is patience. BUT, alas, it is on it's way to my house.

I found that the Yahoo! Small Business tracker was much faster at tracking my package. Also, the FedEx tracking iPhone app is great! Ignore the reviews, they're morons.
