And this morning to my suprise 4/15/2011 fedex rang my doorbell @ 8:10 with my ipads. i had the regular 5-7 day shipping, somehow must have got upgraded, I have no idea.. But needless to say I am very happy..Can anyone explain this....(unreal) less than 1 day from China to Tulsa,OK..

Hm, what does the Fedex tracking page say about it?
 
Not that im a fedex expert or anything.. but chances are you are correct...
Mine was in alaska, "in transit" for almost 24 hours before i actually got "Departed Fedex Location" and a time that matched up with a flight to the closest hub (newark for me, but also can be indy, memphis, etc)...

Sit tight!! your wait is almost over!!!

I'm trying to patient but getting a little ticked that my iPad has been sitting in Anchorage for over 24 hours now. Just checked the flight tracker and there are no more flights leaving for any hubs in the US today. If it was cleared for shipment at 2:35 I don't see why it couldn't have made it on one of the flights that left after 4 yesterday. Grrrrr FedEx!!:rolleyes:
 
Just got my shipment notice! Less than 24 hours between going PFS and getting shipment notice. :D Original ship date was April 22nd now it's April 16th. Original delivery date was April 29th then it went to April 28th after PFS now it's April 21st.

I called the other day to upgrade to faster shipping and the CSR wouldn't do it. He said because of the long delays they were already upgrading everyone to fastest possible shipping. Looks like he was not kidding!
 
Ordered mine on Friday April 8th from Sweetwater and found out today that it should be shipping Tuesday the 19th.

I am over joyed with excitement.

fedex flights only shows up on flight tracker about an hour before takeoff, they being leaving around 3pm AK time
 
Not Cool FedEx

My iPad2 was delivered today...just not to me. FedEx delivered my package to someone else. Pretty upset right now, as you might imagine. FedEx told me it looked like a second shipping label was placed over mine and delivered to someone in Chicago. Anyone else heard of FedEx doing this? Don't see how they can just redirect purchased merchandise.
 
So.... When does it take 8 days to SHIP ???
My coverer just shipped...
Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 04/22/2011, By End of Day
UPS !!!
SERIOUS ?

Well it's in Anchorage now, and it's the 15th...
I think it'll be here monday or tues @ the latest, deff. not friday lol...

Does anyone know how long iPads are usually stuck in shen zhen for? I keep refreshing checking for movement on my iPad. :p
 
Well it made it into Tampa this morning (and left the ramp so I'm guessing that should be to the local sort facility). So the big question is...delivery today or Monday?! Sure beats April 26, and it's even better than the FedEx estimate of 4/19. Now I just hope it's in perfect condition!

Ordered March 27th... strange the engraved one has been "prepared for shipment" since this morning but the "normal" one isn't.

Did you end up in Anchorage? I thought mine was headed to Memphis but it's landed in Anchorage. Unless it gets stuck in customs I think it's likely to be delivered before the Wednesday delivery date Fedex is giving.
 
We in Alaska ARE in the US, you DO know this right? lol

Yes, just meant actually in the US and not across another country (Canada) :eek:

On the bright side, I decided to stop stalking FedEx for 24 hours and my iPad is much closer now... in my state! Still showing a Tuesday delivery on their website but the hub is 15 minutes from my home so I'm praying for Monday :)
