Ships by July 14nd" - Now Prepared for Shipment!

Don't know for sure I just saw one flight from HK and it was headed to Memphis. I could be way off though.

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?

Yep, I am. Just mentioned it in my post before.

I don't know which one is accurate.
 
The second one is accurate. The first only shows your first pickup and drop off possibly. At least that's what mine says.
 
Some of you guys are overthinking this!! :)

1. Once your phone has shipped and you have your FedEx tracking info, there is no need to F5/Refresh constantly. Just sign up for detailed FedEx notifications and they will email you whenever the package moves or is scanned. Relax. :cool:

2. Based on the earlier threads it seems FedEx's tracking info can be up to 2 days behind (that is, people's packages are sometimes much further along than the tracking page seems to indicate). People who've been climbing the walls thinking their package has been sitting in Hong Kong for 3+ days are pleasantly surprised to find it show up at their door days or even hours later.

I don't know about the other tracking sites but so far the ones I've tried have showed no more info than the FedEx tracking page.

Bottom line: Be happy if your phone is on its way and stop worrying! :) Calls to FedEx ("Where is my package? What flight is it on? What airport is that? What is the cruising speed of that airplane? Can't the pilot go any faster?") are hilarious but unlikely to help...

Now yahoo is showing

2010-07-08 14:20:00 Released for delivery ANCHORAGE, AK

Fedex site hasn't even been updated.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??!!?? :)

My guess is that they held us up because we are in the July 13th delivery group. Yahoo notes that this was a status check, probably a daily occurence. They will ship it when they know we will get our phones by our delivery date and not a second sooner. Of course if any of the July 9th people are in this group my theory doesn't hold. FYI June 16th, thru Apple at 1:28 PM PDT. My back is sore from all the people from the 18th thru 24th that were allowed to leapfrog over me.

That's the one, it seems. It was a 14 hr flight, as you can see from here:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX98

...4 hrs to go.

As soon as this flight departed, I also got an update from Fedex (even thought it just said 'At Fedex Location'...)

I think some of the flights from Lantau go to Anchorage, and some straight to Memphis.

Now where's the fun in that? :p

I just wish I was F5'ing FedEx tracking info instead of the damn Apple order status page!

unfortunately, i think you're right. sounds like they will leave anchorage tomorrow. its weird though that some leave each facility within hours and others, like us, have to wait like this
 
Damn my Bumper is being departured from Anchorage storing facility, yet my phone is "in transit" with the location of Hong Kong=[

EHH! ANY IDEAS FOR WHEN IT WILL BE HERE?

I'm a June 16th preorder, July 13th delivery date, and yahoo still shows mine in Lantau Island for the past 2 days. It's not just an unupdated page because it shows status checks on the package at the FedEx facility. Yeah, I'm a bit sore too.

SOME ONE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now, my tracking says "In Transit" and the location says "Lantau Island"

Does that mean it could be on the Hong kong flight to Memphis?
 
My wife's arrived today, Atlanta, 11 days early. Happy with fedex and their speedy service. :D

Should have been here on the 24th of June but AT&T screwed the pooch with a eligibility "mishap."

Not bad. From China to my door in 3 days.
