What is going on :( I have a similar issue to some of you guys. Mine has left China now for a third time. The difference is that mine has also been scanned in CANADA twice, before then leaving China again!

I mainly just want to know what is going on. I was expecting it last tuesday or wednesday. Then I was expecting it by today or tomorrow. Now I doubt I will get it before the weekend. Who should I be calling to clarify? Apple or UPS?

That is just insane. I would definitely call UPS. It is in their hands now. It was scanned in Canada twice! and is now in Hong Kong?! Thats not cool. UPS should have answers. :eek:

Thank you. I know that my iPad 2 is not a life or death thing that I'm waiting for but obviously the tracking info does me no good as far as when to expect the package (and when to be home to do so). Its not a matter of "It was supposed to be here already!", more just confusion and "what the heck is going on?".

I did just send UPS an email through their website asking what was happening since my package was 3 hours away from me and now is in Hong Kong.

Maybe they do have an iPad 2 leaving HK for me right now, but then what happened to the other 1 or 2 models that were 'mine' in the first place?
 
Sorry for the double post.

I just called UPS and gave them my tracking number and asked why it was showing that it had been in Canada, and then back in China, Hong Kong, etc...

She said that it was because Apple sends out large shipments of the products. All of the updates that show up in my tracking information are things to do with the paperwork and the customs negotiations.

She looked in her system for the last physical scan and she said my package is actually in Louisville, Kentucky. I asked why the actual product location doesn't show up and she said because it is in transit.

I guess it makes sense, but why show all the random back and forth information if it is of no use to me. I want to know where my package is and when it is here, not who in the world is talking about it.

So thats that I suppose. Only thing is though, lets say I see it scanned into somewhere in Ontario, how do I know if the package is actually there or if it is another paperwork related thing?

Yeah they could have a better system with it. I do a lot of shopping on amazon since I have amazon prime. They ship with UPS 99.9% of the time, and even if something is in transit it will show up with the tracking info. That is really weird. But at least you know why your iPad 2 has been hopping back and forth between China and Canada!

I hope you get your iPad 2 soon! :D

I thought that some of the confusion might be due to the 12-hour time zone difference, but that must not be the case.

The routing information really isn't that useful to the end consumer in this sort of situation, I guess.
 
Haha mine is too now. So it went to Kentucky and then Alaska, would have figured the other way around. Unless of course there is just some customs negotiations happening in Alaska :p

I ordered a 32GB Black AT&T model on June 19 and and it said expected delivery is between July 1 - July 11. So, I haven't been tracking my shipment because I figured what's the use since it won't be here for another couple of weeks. Well, was I shocked when my neighbor called me this afternoon and informed me that FedEx left a package for me with her. I said, I'm not expecting anything, let me come get it. So, I go over, and lo and behold, it's my iPad! Ordered, shipped, and delivered in just 4 days. Greatest surprise I've had in a long time. Now, all I need to do is find a case. Any suggestions people?

You should Post that under the iPad Accessories topic otherwise you're going to change the subject of this topic, but either way I have a few recommendations:
Smart Cover
Switcheasy Coverbuddy (covers the back while allowing to still work with the smart cover :) )
 
My iPad has departed Anchorage as of 3:09 PM Alaska time. I've got my fingers crossed that it'll get delivered tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
Mine is in transit from Anchorage. It is planned to be here the 28th. It will take that long from Anchorage? My smart cover took one day.
 
mine should be in Louiseville, KY around 1:13 AM EDT than it has to fly to Minneapolis, MN before being delivered. that possible tomorrow?
