I don't know if you guys were ever so worked up about a little package , but I'm freaking out. Hoping to get my MBP by Wed, or I won't see it until Mon. morning!

Does that mean it's on its way to Anchorage, or is it still stuck in China?

It means it left the factory. Updates aren't instantaneous, so it might or might not be on its way to Anchorage, in which case it still has a long way to go to get to you. It's not impossible that you'll have it by Wednesday, but, if you don't see that it's in Anchorage sometime today, you probably won't see it until Monday. Sorry!

My Core 2 Duo BlackBook left Suzhou, China on Friday the 19th, and I just checked, and it is Out for Delivery! I have a lot of FedEx anxiety right now! :D

I wanna do a cartwheel! How do I do a cartwheel?!

Usually if it's crossed customs, it's gone into the hands of another UPS depot outside of China, and so it'll have another entry, so my guess is that at the time you looked, it had not yet cleared customs... but yes, def relax... I know how much it sucks to wait for packages, but think about how great it'll be when it gets there. :D

Tell it to me.:rolleyes: When I was waiting for my Macbook I checked fedex every hour, freaked out when the fedex tracking didn't indicate that it was on a truck for delivery on the estimated date of arrival, and emailed apple, then waited looking out the window all morning. (Luckily I was free that day...)

Well, the package did arrive on the day they said it would, about three hours after I emailed apple. Come to think of it, I never did get a reply from them.;) I'm ridiculously impatient when waiting for packages.
