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.

Me too (Brier/Lynnwood, actually). But I think mine was on the second flight out of Hong Kong.
 
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.

I looked around for a departing flight and was unable to find one as well. The pattern is there though. Seems to go every other day around 4pm AK time
 
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...

Mine shipped from Nashville on Friday and was delivered today.

I'm guessing they've just ran out of US stock in certain colors and thus some are shipping direct from China now just like the iPads themselves.
 
Smart cover missed cutoff @ fedex facility in China. As a result, delivery time got pushed back from March 17th until March 18th. For the peeps whos ipad's still haven't even been moved to "prepared to ship", just like me, I see no way we get them this week.

If you miss the cut off you will wait about 24 hours till it ships, i seem to get it every time:(
 
mine WAS supposed to be here by march 17 4:30 pm.. now it says 11:59pm.. does that just mean i'll get it march 18th?!?! :(
 
I haven't been following this thread but I ordered a White 16gb WIFI at 1:07am PST. It still is in "not yet shipped". Are others who ordered at launch still waiting?

They shouldn't make customers wait this long for something that was supposed to ship quickly....at least for the people who ordered early....

yes.

My 2nd one is not even shipped yet.

I ordered at 12:52am a 32GB 3G AT&T Black and my order is still at "Not yet shipped".
My 2nd one is that way too.

Same thing happened to me... I ordered mine at 1:15 a.m. PST on Friday morning. Why are our Smart Covers being shipped from China and not the U.S.?
 
Mine is in route - currently in Alaska

My Fed Ex tracking info says my white, 32 gb wifi pad arrived in Alaska earlier this morning.

Should arrive at my door by 3/17 as promised.:D
 
:(
Looks like I have to wait another week at least. Oh well, I've not had an iPad for over a year. What's one more weekend. :D
I'm thinking mine was delayed because I chose "ships to business" since I'm having it shipped to work. Hmmmmm
 
I ordered a 32GB Engraved Black Wi-fi only model at 2:40 CST on the 11th and it just now changed to "Prepared for Shipment" I hope it gets here soon.
