Did you get the new status update? ;)

Exception05/01/20201:52 P.M.-Your package was thrown out airplane window

I would expect a real status update in about 3-4 hours from now...

😆 I would deserve it for how obnoxious I'm being about this tracking. Yeah, fingers crossed. The flight should be arriving in a couple of hours and we might get our scans a couple of hours after like you surmised earlier.

Mine has been in Hong Kong since 26 hours ago. They didn't update the status. There is no "departure scan" from Hong Kong. Did you get a departure scan for yours?

It sounds like you're in another shipment if you got to Hong Kong yesterday. My Chek Lap Kok scan says yesterday but technically showed up in the early hours of the 29th in my time zone.

Thank you! It looks like mine is exactly a day behind yours. It arrived in Hong Kong at 12:59 AM on 04/30. I don't know why it's been so difficult for me to be patient. 😅

Believe me, I get the lack of patience! I've been checking for updates every couple of hours even though I know these flights take upward of 8 hours at a time most of the time.

There is some good news though, if the ups flight is correct then even though it was 30 minutes late leaving Taiwan, it should arrive in Alaska 30 minutes early. Only 110 minutes remaining in the flight instead of 140 minutes if it remained on the scheduled timeframe.

We're now in Anchorage! Should be in Louisville by 1:00 in the morning.

We will have to see when it departs but it hopefully will be on UPS105, UPS109 or UPS67. UPS105 and 109 both are scheduled to depart one minute apart and arrive at KSDF at 12:35/6am.

It might just stay on UPS61, no? It departs in an hour.

I only saw the first 20 flights out of KSDF and didnt go to page 2 which listed UPS61. It would be the smart thing to keep it on the same airplane until it reaches KSDF then either moving the containers or opening them up to send them to their next node/hub. I assume both our iPads will take a similar path to Florida.

Fun fact, the containers are called Unit Load Devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load_device

Mine is still in Hong Kong. It's been there since 12:59 AM at 05/01/2020. Anyone in a similar situation? They are predicting delivery by 05/05/2020, but I'm not too optimistic at the moment. Initially I was hoping they'd get it to me by 05/04, but I guess that's not possible at this point.

Based on the speed mine traveled once it was done sitting in Hong Kong for a couple of days, 5/5 seems realistic to me for you. Mine didn't actually depart Hong Kong until the early morning yesterday and it's already left Louisville and is on its way to Florida now.

Mine is showing the exact same info. Guess ours are traveling together.
Mine will be arriving in Toronto on Thursday May 7th, according to UPS

Yeah I think you're right. The Apple website is predicting a May 7th arrival, but UPS is predicting a May 5th delivery to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan are.

I’m getting the exact same information as you. Keep checking for updates but nothing. Ups stating 5/5 but Apple saying 5/7

I keep hoping for the best.
 
Interesting, mine has been stuck for about 13 hours about 150 miles away. It arrived at city x, departed, then arrived back again. I assume it arrived via UPS freight airplane, departed and was scanned in to UPS freight truck warehouse to be loaded in a 18-wheeler and driven tonight to the closest warehouse.

When you go to check out on Apple’s website, it says “Ships in 3-5 business days” but the shipping box says delivers May 18-20. Which is it 🤔

Both. Mine shipped on the fifth day after I ordered it. It just isn't arriving until the twelfth day after.

While I have received my new IPP on 4/28, my trade in kit has not even been shipped to me yet. Should I be concerned? What can I do?

Thanks
 
So far my iPad is still about 150 miles away. It has not left the hub after arriving yesterday at 7 am. Still on target for delivery tomorrow though.
