Ipad 2 not moving at Lantau Island

[Cadena96]

It is Saturaday! Doesnt Fedex work on weekends? My Ipad 2 is still just hanging out at Lantau Island Local. It needs to move, my fingers are getting itchy, my heart is racing, and my coffee is cold...

no...unless it's saturday delivery, but trucks, unless slated with saturday delivery, don't move any packages except sunday thru thursday...for delivery the next day...fri and sat nights are ups/fedex weekends

Looks like mine is having an extended vacation there. Estimated delivery date is 23rd. Destination is Los Angeles, CA. Any chance it'll make it before then?
Itchy fingers are itchy.

Ryo, my shipment summary looks identical to yours. Hopefully ours will fly off to Alaska tonight and be on their way. I am sick of seeing Lantau Island!

 

[WordSmith]

The packages are traveling international economy. They will make it to Alaska tomorrow and then quickly go through the chain of events for delivery as indicated.

Lost in Space....Maybe

My Ipad has been cooling it's heels in the FedEx facility in Hong Kong for 4 days now along with a lot of others.

I just called FedEx and got a reasonable but not happy explaination. There appears to be MORE freight waiting to get onto those planes than there are planes. Mine, at least, will spend at LEAST one more night there....that makes 5. It MIGHT get out tomorrow night but no guarantees.

Thats the story as I heard it.

Regards
Steve

Check out my Fedex updates... it's driving me crazy. Can someone explain why my ipad moved to Lantau march 18th pm and back to Shenzhen and then again back to Lantau? Since then, it's been in Lantau from March 18th- March 21st. What gives?

Mine has been sitting in Japan for the last two days. Delivery date has been changed from the 23rd to the 24th. Not sure why it would go to Japan.

 

[WordSmith]

No real new information, however, I will share with you all.
From FedEx today:
Apple has selected our International Economy Service (which is not a Priority service). It has been in the same area due to lack of space on the aircraft at the origin point. The International Economy Service is a space availability service that has a delivery commitment of 5 to 7 business days. Also, please bear in mind that it still has to clear customs when it reaches Anchorage, Alaska.

Just talked to one of the head Fed Ex reps. Apparently a lot of cargo meant to go to Japan/ be held here is being diverted to Lantau Island, hence the back up of shipments hanging there. Mine is supposed to be in San Antonio by Wednesday. I am starting to seriously question the legitimacy of that arrival date.

 

[mitch]

I just got mine a few minutes ago my delivery date was supposed to be tom Mar22 but it came a day early. I hope all of you get your ipad2 soon.

 

[cherhall]

After sitting in Hong Kong for three days, my iPad has finally shown movement, but only to Taiwan. The scheduled delivery date of Wednesday doesn't seem very likely.

 

[Rlarson_mn]

Got an email from FedEx on why my. iPad has not moved from HK after getting there last Saturday. Apple only paid for the least expensive mail package so the intent of FedEx is to meet that commitment. In my case a 3-5 business day delivery. So it will sit there until convent for fedEx to ship it or when they have to ship it in order to make the 3-5 day commitment. I would assume as more and more ipad shipments come from China we will see the delivery arrival date being the longest one not the shortest one.

Yea mine too, they must be hanging out together, or out chasing sexy smartphones and miss the plane. I'm beginning to wonder about the 23rd

 

[dmaul1114]

They should move quickly once it leaves Lantau.

Mine left Lantau on the 14th, flew to Anchorage the Memphis then Atlanta and got delivered to me in Atlanta around noon on the 15h.

Maybe an extra day if you don't live near an airhub and it has to get trucked further.

 

[owblue]

Not exactly true. Mine left Lantau on the 19th and has been in Japan since the 20th at 140AM.
