I am a bid confused reading the tracker nevertheless are theu not from this point on at different planes according to destination?

From what I've gathered it seems they mostly go to the Fed Ex hub in Memphis and then on to regional hubs. Though I've also read that maybe they split here and some go to California and other's to Memphis and then onto regional hubs.
 
Fedex tracking says In Transit, yahoo says "Held at Sort Facility"... Does anyone's else's yahoo tracker say differently?

Ok just got off the phone with fedex. If your status is Held at Sort Facility from the yahoo tracker then it is being held for customs approval.
 
Just read that Apple Stores will be opening an hour early tomorrow to just handle iPad sales. They must be expecting big shipments to the stores. I will be VERY unhappy if I read about a lot of people swooping in and buying 64GB wifi only models since we have not seen many shipped from online orders yet.

Agreed. I can't even get mine to ship. =/
 
Fedex's site posted "Int'l shipment release" from Anchorage a few hours ago, and the Yahoo site just updated to "Released for delivery", also from Anchorage. The flight to Memphis is estimated to take off in less than 10 minutes...:D

Yes. my Wifi 32GB White shipped
 
Actually 24 hours on the prepared shipping list feels like I'm in the movie groundhog day. Only instead of repeating groundhog day over and over again, I'm 8 years old experiencing the day before christmas over and over again without escape.



Anyone else have analogies.

I'm prepared for shipping and I feel like I'm being tortured because I decided not to go to Atlanta for Spring Break because I wanted to stay home and mess around with my iPad 2 that has not even shipped. I already ditched my iPad 1. I could have went to Atlanta and been back Friday because I know my iPad will not be here until after that day now. My friends are having fun and I'm sitting home refreshing a computer screen constantly. I may start a research paper that isn't due until the end of April because I have nothing else to do. FML

Haven't reveived that yet, but I'm sure they are still in bulk right?
 
So are we going to have a watch party at 9:54 PM and 12:16 AM (central) to see if any of our statuses update? I think I'll make it for the 9:54 landing but should probably go to sleep at a recent time! :cool:

ETA: as I typed that, the flights arrival times are changing. Boo.

Do they all go to memphis?

I would guess they're all still together and some didn't get scanned or just haven't posted yet.

And from what I've read I think most every international delivery comes to Memphis for FedEx and then goes to regional hubs. I think that's their main US hub.

Mines a 64gb wifi in black with an order time of 12:54 because I stopped to check the shipping again. And it shipped on the 13th I guess I got lucky. Somebody said there aren't many 64gb versions shipping. Certainly seems true for the AT&T versions.

No. If your status on fedex doesnt say Departed FedEx location
ANCHORAGE, AK then it is being held in AK for customs clearance. This is from an operator at 1-800-gofedex so you can call and verify it if you want to.
