Well, now, whom do we trust? According to Yahoo, it's still in Anchorage --

But according to FedEx, it's on its way:

Of course, neither one has any updates for today. Supposedly due tomorrow (ordered Mar. 20 at 9:30 am)

Looks like ours was on the same flight
I have the same tracking info as u do
The yahoo site is better It has better details
Hopefully it will get ship out later today

We must be on the same Flight. Yahoo tracking is better cause it gives us all the information that Fedex sees on their end. The Fedex tracking website is like a ballpark for customers to look at. My tracking looks the same as yours with the fedex tracking and the yahoo tracking looking different.

My order date was March 21. And I'm suppose to get it April 19.
Macmechanic No flights to America have left yet Usually they leave around 2-7pm Alaska time. to get to Hubs around 11pm-3am

I think mine is with both of yours. It arrived in Alaska yesterday afternoon, and now has been sitting there for over 24 hours. The fedex page says In Transit, but when I called fed ex to see if I could possibly upgrade shipping they told me it was still in Alaska.

Hopefully it will be in Memphis tonight.

edit:
Found the yahoo tracker and it says held at sort facility - yesterday at 2:30pm. 26 hours ago since last updated.

Ps- How do you get to that yahoo tracker?
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/r-packageTracker-s-fedex

I tried to pull that also. I guess Its how their supply chain works and how out apple shipped them out.

looks like Ahatfield1980, me, MacMechanic and Briel are all in AK. We have to wait and see the flights. If it doesn't come to the 48 states tonight we won't be getting Friday but Monday. Fedex is pretty good about getting things a day or 2 early then they tell you.

You can count me in this group as well.. Ive been "In Transit" according to fedex since 4:49 Alaskan Time.. Small Biz Yahoo says "Held At Sort Facility"
Im confident that it is, or is on is way to memphis and hopefully we will all see our Ipads by the scheduled day (mine is 4/15)
 
Okay! So finally received my iPad 2 and SmartCover. I opened the box that it came in but haven't actually unwrapped the plastic to the iPad box. I'm letting it sit on the table while I do some work. I won't open it until tonight AFTER I finish working :) :)
 
Hey, all you March twenty-somethingth and April complainers, get to the back of the line! lol :):):) I have a US March 19 order which hasn't billed to the card and hasn't budged from "Not yet shipped." D'oh!!!

Seems from forums like other 16GB AT&T are, like me, really delayed.... :(:(:(

I think I have you beat!

Prepared for Shipment
Product Qty.
IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK - PRSN-USA
Image
Engraved
Ships: Apr 22
Delivers: Apr 27

Looks like 64 GB is the least ordered one which is why I think it's shipping out faster than other orders...I hope Im right bc mine is ordered on March 29 so Im hoping it'll be shipped this week!
 
Finally!!! My iPad 16gb white just went prepared for shipment. Ordered on March 25th 04:13 PDT - Canadian order. Original ship date was April 22nd and delivery date was April 29th. Ship date hasn't changed but delivery date now says April 28th. Hoping to get it next week. Praying it'll leave tomorrow or saturday latest. :D

yeah im hoping it leaves AK later today, AK to Memphis flight has being taking off around 3 o'clock AK time, from there fedex bank of flights leaves around 2-4 o'clock in the morning. That AK to Memphis is the key right now.


edit2: got 4 flights leaving AK, hope ours is one of them

edit: guys who are still in AK be on the look out for flight FDX98 AK to MEM leaving around 3

2:15pm ak time
I know mine is going to MA so It has to hit the super hub.
It all depends where everyone package is going to they will fly to NJ, TX, CA, IN
Most packages will be routed to Memphis then fly to our airport around where we will.
I'm going to be checking the manifest.
 
Hmmm

Not sure who to believe but my estimated delivery date was tomorrow the 15th in Philadelphia. Don't see that happening if it's being held hostage in Anchorage according to Yahoo :(

Did you pay for upgraded shipping? Your iPad made it through Lantau Island really fast. If your iPad makes it to Memphis tonight you will likely have it tomorrow.

Here is what I have. I am REALLY hoping it gets out and I get it early for the weekend, but it seems like a long shot when FedEx is estimating a Tuesday delivery.

No I didn't get upgraded shipping but I wish I had because I'm getting so impatient knowing that it's finally on it way to me. Looks like ours will probably be on the same plane to Memphis. Hope they're enjoying their travels together :D

Edited to add: Now FedEx is giving me an estimated delivery date of Tuesday, April 19th but Apple's website still says tomorrow.
 
everyone that was on hold in AK, check your status, status says it just left AK ramp

That would be wonderful! I hope mine takes that route because that would be a much shorter trip to Philly :)

EDIT:
My package is on FDX92 to Newark.
I don't know If I might get tomorrow. I check if they truck it or a plane leaving.
The only hope is the FDX 92 gets to Newark at 2:18am and then it can go to a flight going to Mass leaving at 4:11am tag number FDX 1021

Its very possible.. i think we may be plane buddies.. however I would think NC being WAAAY closer to Memphis.. youd be on a flight to memphis... stranger things have happened i guess!

mssgcci: check if you have a departure time... mine left AK at 4:05 AKtime and will be landing in newark about 2am EST

darkinferno: depending on your location, its possible you may get yours tomorrow
 
IPAD WI-FI 64GB BLACK-USA
Ordered on Mar 20, 2011 at 04:21 PM PDT

My camera connection kit arrived last week and my red Smart Cover arrived today. (Although the cover left China and Alaska a few hours after the iPad itself left. Is this common?)

Hurry to Ohio, iPad! :p Might it get here tomorrow, oh sages?
