Mine has been stuck on PFS since Saturday, but my card hasn't been charged yet. No rhyme or reason to their process, it seems.

I've been in PFS since friday night and my card was charged on Monday or Tuesday and still no shipping for me...
 
Now I see this:

Jul 8, 2010 11:49 AM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK

What the heck does this mean? Is it now shipping from Alaska?

I think it means it's going through customs. Not positive but I'm pretty sure:D
 
Mine has been in Newark since 2 am this morning. Sooo Clooose!

I hope it is in a safe place, there are some "interesting" neighborhoods in Newark :D I hope it doesn't fall in with the wrong crowd:eek:


haha it has been detained going through security. it didn't have proper identification with it's boarding pass ;)

mine still shows international shipment release- does this mean its getting ready to get on the plane? i sure hope so! the flight from ak to california leaves in around an hr
 
More likely scenario: Your phone is one of many thousands in this shipment, probably in a large shipping container. FedEx will break down the container in Memphis (their hub) and route the individual shipments to their destinations.

I really doubt the story the FedEx rep told you.

Yeah, after thinking about it for awhile earlier today, this was the conclusion I came to as well; it was on a pallet/container, and the whole thing was shipped to Memphis to be divvied up. Why he didn't just say that, instead of blaming Apple for their obstreperousness, I don't know.

I just checked my status, and it's "in transit" from Memphis. Too bad I don't get frequent flyer miles from this! :rolleyes:
 
Perhaps I am being daft but does this not make sense to anyone else? UTC is the same as GMT. So for MEmphis which is in the Central time zone, It is UTC -6 hours. So if the flight left at 9:59PM UTC, that's 3:59PM CDT. There is no way that the flight from HK to Memphis is less than 8 hours. It's got to be more like 18.

Is there a specific reason, if anybody knows why fedex has 2 tracking numbers for my order?

I don't know which one to follow.
 
2 shipping numbers

Okay now I have 2 shipping numbers (the same number though). One says Im in Hong Kong, the other in SHENZHEN.

Bizarre. Anyone else have this issue?
