I love it when Fedex skips a scan, the "Departure" scan. It was like, pickup, arrive at at AK. Now at ANCHORAGE with the rest of you. I love the suspense. Now I wait, San Francisco or Memphis next.
 
2011-03-14 10:33:00 Arrived at Sort Facility ANCHORAGE, AK
2011-03-14 16:31:00 Left FedEx Ramp LANTAU ISLAND,

Can I just say how much I love that with the magic of time zones, our iPads are going BACK IN TIME in order to reach us.
 
Did anyone order the red smart cover and get the shipping notification yet?
Mine should be shipped within 1-2 days but the status is still "not yet shipped."
and of course, no good news for my ipad 64gb wifi black too...
My order made at 12:42 pst 3/11...:confused:

I did get shipment notification for my Red Leather. It actually shipped Friday and FedEx tried to deliver Saturday, but didn't actually come to my door, just left an exception tag at my front gate (grrr :confused:). Apparently they'll redeliver Tuesday.
 
My smart cover has been stuck at the Lewisberry Fedex location since early Saturday morning. It's still saying that I'll receive it tomorrow but I'm beginning to doubt that. This happening to anyone else?
 
If you look at the history of the flight it makes the Japan, AK, TN loop

So it does.

According to flightaware there are no FedEx departures from Anchorage to Memphis in the next 2 days, scrap that, no where in the US :confused:

Tracking flights isn't easy, and i don't think these sites are particularly accurate.

Memphis I already confirmed that.
 
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm travelling Sunday and would LOVE to have it with me for the journey. Returning home late Wednesday night (like 11pm).....cry.

I'm not sure if it is the case for everyone, but I did have the option to reroute my shipment--perhaps if it ooks like it won't get there before Wednesday you could have it rerouted to your travel destination?

With the shipment already in Alaska, is there any chance we may see delivery before the 17th (i.e. the 16th)?

Possible, but probably unlikely.

I'm guessing it will make it's way to the Memphis hub tonight or tomorrow morning.

Then it will get to our local centers by Wednesday, but miss the morning trucks and thus not go out for delivery until Thursday morning as scheduled.
 
So it does.

Interesting, in the past if an item was in Alaska by now it could be delivered to East Coast tomorrow. You may be on to something.

Am I the only person whose Smart Cover shipped from China and not the United States? Fed-Ex is telling me my case has reached a shipment exemption in Shenzhen, China.

I thought most people saw theirs ship from Pennsylvania...

That had been the case with mine, but about an hour ago I got two updates: one saying it had arrived at the next sorting facility (it had been in Memphis, now Orlando) on Saturday night, but was scanned this afternoon. The movement on Saturday, in other words, didn't show up until just now.

I also am expected to get it tomorrow; seems highly likely. Good luck.

EDIT: Cover shipped from Memphis, heading for South Florida.
 
I'm in Seattle - is anyone else? Or the Pacific NW? Just curious where my iPad will be heading next... it left HK when everyone else's did but no check-in to AK yet.

Fortunately it is far more likely that either: a) I'm useless or b) The flight track websites are incorrect.

FedEx being as big as it is, with urgent mail to deliver, makes it seem highly unlikely there are no departures from Anchorage to anywhere in the US within 2 days :)

For once i'm really glad i am probably wrong ;)


I know it shows a history of it going to Memphis every few days, but no where on scheduled flights does it appear that it is indeed going to memphis. I assume it will be, though. And hopefully today too.
