Once my iPad left Shenzhen, it arrived pretty quickly. Sometimes the updating is a little slower but it actually is in transit. LOL @ stirring the pot. When I was waiting for mine to arrive in Canada, I was pretty anxious too. Checked several times a day to see where my new prized possession was. It was well over a year, since I first heard of their development and knew I wanted one, so a few weeks of yearning after pre-ordering to feel it actually in my hands was relatively short.

ok got it figured out, there is a special section in fedex that handles this direct shipment stuff. it got delayed in HK for one day she said. but she also said that it was in the usa but in customs...so it should take a little while there and then ship out tomorrow or friday. friday the latest. and for some unknown reason the website isnt being informed of all the changes. hope this helps!

Same shipping date, June 6th. Delivery date June 9th, 10:30. Now no delivery date. Has anyone asked FedEx what's up? You don't think the island has sunk with all the IPADs they have on it now?

Yes. Apparently the shipments left Hong Kong, went to Taiwan, and left Taiwan where they'll land in Anchorage, Alaska.

It will need to clear customs -- so I reckon our shipments are in customs as of current.

Ipad Arrived.. got mine on the 10th

My iPad2 has been showing up on the tracking as being on that island now. Hoping it leaves there later today which I guess will actually be tomorrow over there as it's late PM there now. Can't really complain as I ordered it on Friday and it was engraved and shipped already by Monday. I've shipped thousands of packages by FedEx with no problems. Now if it was UPS or DHL I would be worried... If FedEx has a delay there is a legit reason such as a volcano eruption closing an airport. With UPS and DHL I'd routinely see missed delivery deadlines with no good reason for it.

In most of the developed world, namely, the UK, richer parts of the US and europe, UPS is the faster one, they handle more, they are on time more, granted either company can have issues with trucks or planes, as I ordered an ipad 1 in january and itw as delayed in hong kong for 2 days b/c of a flight issue. I just ordered an ipad 2 on march 11, engraved, so it won't ship til later this week, but my smart case and digital av adapter are in transit and in the local fedex facility in hk...ups has better customs efficiencies, they deliver on time, more of the time...the only reason fedex would be better is you're near the beginning of a residential route...mornings are business, or are am delivery ,which adds costs, so most people don't do it...I have had my fair share of both companies delivering, and both with am, or first delivery....by 10 30 am...etc...this was the ONLY TIME fedex came close to ups...beating them once in the 12 years I've been buying stuff on the internet....

Amazon uses DHL and Prestige shipping...both of which, I refuse to use as prestige ruined every package they have delivered (contractor drivers...meaning prestige handles to independent contractor who delivers)...dhl sits in your driveway for 15-20 mins..that's pissing me off...deliver it and leave..some things I buy are for the g/f...and a surprise...

I ordered two on Friday and both have yet to ship. I ordered them separately, and he fist was to be shipped in approximately 5 business days, which would be Thursday. For some reason, the second one was to be shipped in 1 to 2 weeks. I also ordered covers for each, and the second one has already shipped, even though the date of arrival changed from March 18 to March 22. I'm assuming he first one is delayed because it is leather. So it seems I will have a iPad2 cover to look at ... while I await the actually iPad2.

Should I worry My iPad 2 hanging out at Laungi whatever island it is for a couple days projected shipment date March 22nd 2011!
Mines arriving at 4:30 P.M March 22nd Afternoon Delievery!
