To follow format, 64 gig black 4G sitting in Louisville since Saturday, heading to suburban Boston for Friday delivery. The carrier is UPS and they don't allow for changing delivery until after the first attempt. I had planned to be home all day but that's not gonna happen now. I went on the Apple site and pre-signed for the delivery and have the printout for the front door.

My question, and sorry to ramble, has anyone had a bad experience with this re: the driver not leaving the package? I'm not at all worried about theft but from experience I've found UPS drivers are way less prone to keeping the customer happy than FedEx. And I'm not knocking every UPS driver, either. Just an observation. It's gonna be a long weekend if the driver doesn't follow through.
 
Mine shows shipped on March 12th, but it's still in "Pick Up" mode, not "In Transit" yet.

Appears to be lounging around in Ontario, California. I'm guessing I'll see an update late tonight but most likely mid-day tomorrow. Then it'll be stalker-fest for me and the Fedex guy on Friday when I leap at anything that sounds like a Fedex truck. :D

Mine says Delivers on Mar 16th by 3pm.
 
Well UPS shows on time and 2 business days left. The status still shows leaving Anchorage.

Anyway I'm going to put a bowl of water out for the Sled Dogs. It's hot in FL and I don't think the huskies will do well down here.

Lenny, mine is "stuck in alaska" as well. status update as of 3/14 is:

It amazes me that you can order an iPad w/ engraving and have it in the US in a little over 48 hours. Maybe Apple, UPS and FEDEX could solve all the world problems. If Apple had asked the US Postal Service to handle this, 50% would arrive broke and the other 50% may have been delivered by June.

Now we need iFood and iWater to be sent to the impoverished.

Mine exactly the same thing, made it to US with engraving very quick and has been sitting in KY ever since, still hasn't moved.

Will it still make it to FL by Friday?
 
mad

ordered a 16 gb att white march 7th about 3:30, shipped out 3/11, my tracking hasnt worked at all since then.

i called apple, they did an investigation. they concluded mine was lost, so they have to send a replacement. wont be here until april 6th really glad i preordered it... NOT. They said there is a a chance i will still get my original order friday the 16h. *fingers crossed*

anyone who is having tracking issues i urge you to call apple.


really crummy i have to go to the end of the lilne on my replacement... when i preorded it within hours of the keynote.


got a free smart cover and hdmi adapter.. wahooo.. even though i would rather just have my ipad i paid for on time..


hopefully fedex just forgot to scan it and its on the right truck, and that it will get scanned soon. I have a feeling that this one "fell off the back of the truck"
 
I'm betting it will stay in Nashville til Thursday evening. Mine is still in Nashville bound for Dallas, TX.

Mine is also sitting in Nashville bound for Atlanta. It seems all the coolest iPads are having a party in Nashville ;)

My experience is that if you have a letter there they are more then happy to get the package off thier hands and into yours. Carrying the letter back to the office is much easier then unloading and reloading the package.

Of course, this is what FedEx and UPS do. It will fly Thursday night or Friday morning from KY and arrive at your door by the end of the day.

I order online almost weekly and have never had a late package from UPS or FEDEX in the last 15+ years.
 
Mine is showing as a little earlier - which is nice - I decided to work from home that day...

:D

FedEx has 3 different times for next day delivery, which these are being treated as even though they are already in position. By the next morning (by 10:30), by the next day (before 3), and by the end of the day (after 3).

If you live a normal distance from a hub your's probably won't move again until late thursday night. As long as mine makes to jersey by 5am it will be in NYC Friday morning.
 
Mines been sitting in Louisville since the 11th. I'm sure it will get here by Friday, but I just want to see it get out of Kentucky! :)
 
Picked up by Fedex on the 9th and sitting in Nashville ever since.... Hoping they hedge and release it tomorrow.

After seeing the advice to call Apple if I had tracking issues i did. They advised that I contact fedex. Talked to them and they said everything is good and that it should be there TOMORROW for pickup! Leaving for vacation at 4:00 lets hope i can get it by noon.
