There were a couple FedEx flights that went directly from HK to Memphis. Yours was on one of those rather than missing a scan as the first Fed Ex flight from Alaska to Memphis today is still in the air and lands at 1:35am EST.
Woohooo!! Arrived in Memphis. Mine's been slow to update and skipped Anchorage, but seems to have landed in Memphis. Fedex, impress me. Deliver this things early.
Hi mb335,
Can you please confirm that you placed your order on SATURDAY, the 12th, in the evening, through the Apple Online Store, and have already received notification that your order has "prepared to ship"?
After a long wait in line on Friday, and then more waiting at various Apple retail stores on Saturday, I came up empty and decided to finally place my order online with Apple on Saturday, Mar 12, 2011 at 11:14 AM PDT. Like you, I ordered a 64GB White iPad2 AT&T Wi-fi 3G unit. My ship date, according to both the e-mail that I received and the Apple order status website, is April 11, 2011, and my delivery date is April 14th (the long end of the 3-4 week estimate on the website).
Obviously, this is extremely disappointing, given all of the time spent waiting in line, etc., and after now hearing that the retail stores may be opening early tomorrow morning with more iPads in stock, while those of us with valid orders are left waiting for weeks.
I am really hoping that my order is similar to yours (especially if we are both really ordering the same thing), and that it will actually ship much earlier than is currently indicated.
So, can you confirm that you actually ordered *after* me, that you ordered the same thing, and that you are already making progress?
Thanks!

It could have went either way the Apple site could have crashed and who knows what... I suggest if you have time go to the store you can always cancel the shipment ! If I could easy reach a store and mine wasn't on the way ...

SF Bay Area peeps, I guess our iPads are on this flight: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX86
Well over 24 hours on "prepared for shipment" here, too.![]()
I am so hoping mine arrives in Memphis on flight FDX98!
I got my shipment notification email 15 minutes ago for my 64GB ATT 3G+Wifi iPad 2 (engraved). I placed my order was at 12:56am PST on 3/11/2011. It was sitting at "Prepared for Shipment" since yesterday afternoon. Based on the fedex tracking info, I should have it by Friday.
I'm beginning to get a bit frustrated after going through this thread.
Ordered my iPad 2 32 Gb black ATT @ 12:48am PST and it still shows not yet shipped.
Just seems so odd that orders made later than that are shipping.
