An update on my status:

Ordered: May 7th
Estimated Shipping Date: May 23rd
Estimated Delivery Date: May 27th

Shipping Date: May 25th
Current Estimated Delivery Date: June 2nd FedEx
Current Position: Alaska

So mine shipped two days later than estimated - might be due to the explosion, I don't think FedEx delivers on Memorial Day so another long weekend waiting *sigh*.

I hope Fedex doesnt screw it up like last year when the shipped it to the wrong Louisville. It went straight into Memphis from HK, it was then loaded on a truck and traveled to Louisville, TN which is in the far east. They then noticed that something wasnt right and they shipped it back to Memphis and loaded it on a plane headed to Louisville, KY. Oh they pissed me off lol Hope they get it right this time.

I have a feeling mine is headed to Alaska right now!!
Ordered May 17th like you
 
either Alaska or Memphis. I'll check my status tomorrow morning and I should get an update whether its in Anchorage or Memphis.
I don't understand how people got theirs in 3 days. Every time I order something out of Shenzhen it takes at least 5-6 days.

Well i hope it is Memphis. I live in Minnesota so Memphis is closer.

Do FedEx cargo planes fly on Memorial Day? Let's say the flight from HK lands in AK around 10pm on
Sunday, do they just chill :) in AK because Monday is Memorial Day? (FedEx is closed on Memorial Day)
Then on Tuesday, they continue from AK to Memphis.... :D

Or do their plane keep flying 7 days a week, regardless of holidays? :)
 
All I know is that FedEx is closed on Memorial day. Our iPads will be stuck in Memphis/Anchorage for a day and then continue their journey on Tuesday.

Hope mine makes it to the states in time to clear customs so it can catch the earliest flight to Louisville,KY

I think my iPad is on the same FedEx plane as yours. :) It has the exact
same pick-up time/date/location that you posted for your ipad. :)

FedEx's tracking page just updated with some new info a few minutes ago:

May 28, 2011 3:12 PM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK
May 28, 2011 2:27 PM Arrived at FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK

I assume this means my iPad has been inspected/cleared by US customs and
is ready to continue from Anchorage to Memphis. (keeping my fingers
crossed that it doesn't just sit in Anchorage or Memphis for two days due
to Memorial Day holiday) :)
 
Mine is still in HK. Probably hasn't updated yet. If yours was picked up at the same time; they prolly took the same flight from HK to Anchorage. Or mine was on a direct flight to Memphis which is a little longer. I hope my fedex updates here soon so I know for sure lol
 
Fed-Ex FLYS!

Below is my shipment information. Apple had June 7th has estimated Delivery. Then it shipped about a week early, and Fed Ex currently has June 7th, but given its progress thus far, I wouldn't be surprised if I got it on Tuesday, May 31st! I'm on the east coast of Canada, so it's only a 2 hr plane ride away!
