Spoke too soon...

Both scanned out from Anchorage at 3:59pm local time, was just delayed posting to the website. Why that surprises me, I have no idea.

Now they're off to Newark. And I've never been so happy to see something tagged with New Jersey in my entire life.

Any idea what time, ET the flight is supposed to land?

Wonder if there will be another flight from NJ to the Twin Cities (Mpls/ST.PAUL) tonight yet/early am for delivery tomorrow. I can only hope
 
fedex told me i had a 50/50 chance earlier today to get my ipad tomorrow.....

Mine emailed me saying didn't like the island. LOL

When are the next flights leaving Anchorage. Fedex still says expected deliver date of 3/29. surely not another week..lol
Click to expand...

Looks like ours have been pretty much on the same path. The funny thing is, when I first got my notice, it said the expected delivery date was 3/25, and then changed to 3/29 later. I half expected it to spend 4+ days on Lantau Island, and then, BOOM, it was in Alaska. We'll see it if hangs up there or continues to book it home. 😉

Oh DotCom, I logged on here specifically to see if you got your ipad today. I thought I had the worst luck, but you seem to have won. I am so so so very sorry. I hope and pray they find your missing friend tomorrow. Now I am pulling very hard for you. Good luck my Lantau Island friend. Keep us updated. I will be watching. 🙁🙁🙁

Thanks mcirish!
I am still hoping that it is not lost and they are just using it as an excuse because they couldn't get it to me on time. My status page is now blank where the estimated delivery date should be. 🙁
Gonna wait and see what happens tomorrow.
I also have a smart cover that is due to be delivered tomorrow. We'll see what happens to that as well!
Good luck to everyone and hope you all get your paddy ASAP!

Mcirish:
Did you get your today?

Their updating is slow mine finally left Anchorage at 3:53 but tracking just updated. Now I can look forward to tomorrow.

I guess this is progress. BTW spoke with CS about delays and got nothing but sympathy - "Sorry, but still on schedule for Mar 25th delivery..."
 
Apparently mine is in a container theoretically headed for Indy. Why its not going to Oakland is beyond me.

That flight just left ( FDX86)....

I dont see it out of AK though..... The fedex CS folks see the same thing, and the only flight out is later to Oakland (CA)

Scheduled for delivery in Houston by 4:30 tomorrow. Fingers crossed. It's spent 3 days on the island but only a half day in AK. Things really do pick up once in US.

I think it is random. I think they just load them up on planes in huge shipping containers and once they get to Alaska, they just randomly send them out to Memphis, Newark, or Oakland or wherever else to be overnighted to their destination.

I think I remember someone who lived in Alaska saying that their iPad went from Alaska to Memphis back to Alaska.

I think they just randomly load the planes in Alaska to try and get them out as quick ad possible.

Actually, Fedex is almost certainly routing packages using a sophisticated form of linear programming combined with cost-minimization to identify optimal routing within a bounded mathematical space. Random routing would risk an enormous waste of corporate resources, making the company less profitable and also less competitive with UPS, the USPS, and regional and local courier services.

Within applied mathematics and operations research, there is a well-established class of techniques surrounding the "transportation problem." These techniques resolve the logistics of complex routing problems. The optimal solution from a macro standpoint, however, may not seem to make much sense to an individual end-user.
