No the one I was on about left at 11:35 HK time today (4.35am UK time I think). But maybe yours got an earlier flight, I havent checked mine on chinese TNT site and the TNT site I did use has different wording to what you have.
Just seen my first bit of iPad promotion in the UK. Only a poster in town but that's the first marketing I've seen so far.
Excitement is reaching dangerous levels..

I get the following on the TNT tracking:
24 May 2010 20:42:01 Hong Kong Shipment In Transit.
24 May 2010 18:46:07 Hong Kong Shipment Received At Transit Point.
21 May 2010 22:02:00 Shenzhen Shipment In Transit.
21 May 2010 17:50:00 Shenzhen Regional/national Holiday. Delivery At First Opportunity.
21 May 2010 16:50:34 Shenzhen Shipment In Transit.
21 May 2010 15:52:17 Shenzhen Shipment Collected From Sender.
Given it's over 24 hours since the last update (it's 19:30) in HK now, i'm expecting something to change soon....

from liege i'm lost as the only TNT flights out are back to HK and SGP
what Airline will take them onward to UK ?
checking todays and Wed's flights and i'm lost

All over the tube stations I have been to since yesterday morning - with all the hype would not have thought they need to waste money on these posters..... especially as they will have sold out in 5 seconds.
Yeah yours is in the same batch as mine
The thing is that I dont think the tracking actually tells us when the plane has left, so when it says 'shipment in transit' its quite probably sitting waiting for a plane for some time before it actually goes. And we wont get an update at the other end till it comes off the plane and gets booked into a new depot. Assuming ours did not get an earlier flight than the ones Ive looked at, it will probably be about another 4-7 hours before something new shows up on the tracking.
Which TNT site are you using? The Chinese one is the only one I can find that shows anything about mine
I havent found a site that accurately details all of the TNT flights from Liege. They certainly have their own planes that go from Liege to places such as East Midlands, but I dont know the timetable. The TNT flight map is also a right mess when it gets to the heart of Europe. I will let you know if I spot a plane that may fit the bill, not that it really matters as the basic TNT tracking info is all we need really once it gets to Europe.

But dont worry, its much the same thing, just different wording (I just tried mine on the China site).
Your ipad was some hours ahead of mine but whether it is on an earlier plane or not is impossible to say, ours may currently be travelling over Russia together, yours might already be very near to Liege in Belgium, or they could be resting in Dubai for all I know!
This is what I'm getting right now:
24 May 2010 18:02:37 Hong Kong Shipment In Transit.
24 May 2010 04:53:22 Hong Kong Shipment Received At Transit Point.
24 May 2010 00:58:00 Shenzhen Shipment In Transit.
22 May 2010 17:24:26 Shenzhen Shipment In Transit.
22 May 2010 17:00:32 Shenzhen Shipment Collected From Sender.

Just got my invoice through email? does that mean they took the money okay?
I've not checked yet.
Mine is coming UPS but no tracking info yet, not even billing info received! Worries me slightly. I sure they know what they are doing though.

If any of you guys live in glasgow and are getting a wifi i phoned tnt depot in paisley and she said it will be delivered the the address given tomorrow or the 27th
Apple say they took mine successfully on 22nd. The bank say non has gone out. Join the world of the confused.
Is "shipped" really "shipped" or just notified courier?
Still waiting for mine (16g wifi+3g). Got the email saying it had shipped at 22:03 on the 23rd May. Not sure this is strictly accurate - I suspect what it means is that Apple have instructed UPS to pick up the shipment at some point up until this Friday.
UPS site has been saying "Billing Information Received" ever since.
Original order was "being processed" as of 10:00 on the 10th May.

Glad i'm not the only one trying to track down the UPS shipping route.
I have set up push notifications for changes on the package. I have a package tracking dashboard item that sends growl notifications when it detects a change. I have that hooked into prowl so it sends push notifications to my iPhone.
Something tells me I have too much time and too many apple gadgets...

Could you not just get the the app form of the widget? You still get push and the nice UI. I'm not sure how the costs compare though...
called TNT!!!
Just got off the phone to TNT international call centre my tracker status had a orange ! mark saying please call.
The lady i spoke to said that the item was put out for delivery today the 25th, but TNT had received instructions from Apple to hold all Ipad's for delivery on the 28th she confirmed that my package was sitting in depot in Chester(Deeside) and has been there since the 21st
well we've come this far!! we must be over the worst (i hope?)

Mine has also been saying 'Billing information received'
I called UPS who said - "We have no further details than that, you need to contact Apple'
I called Apple who said - "The label has been printed and thus it is showing as 'Billing information received' but the iPad has yet to be scanned by UPS and until then it won't be trackable. It will be delivered on Friday 28th"

Did you see the please call message on TNT international tracking or UK tracking website? Did you use a 9 digit tracking number to get that info?
