Like techdude said, a different flight since you are all the way on the other side of the state. BTW, I love your city! Had a great vacation there the summer before last to watch the Yankees and the Pirates!

I can't find any other flights to Pittsburgh tonight... hmm...

Vacation? In Pittsburgh? You've Got To Be CRAZY! LOL!
 
I just called UPS and they are telling me end of day Monday ugh. I ordered day 1. This is my status so far and i know we have sat delivery.

This is the flight that stopped over in Korea. I think we are now officially screwed. :(
 
Well #1 the scans are being delayed and #2 the flights may not show up till much later. Sometimes it may not use flights at all, and they may use a truck to bring it to another city to catch its flight - but that only happens with local shipments before they get to WorldPort.

Don't worry! You will get it tomorrow, they go through almost 1.5-2 million packages a day, often almost 60% of those are after 5PM EST! So trust me - It will come!!!

Cool, in your opinion TechDude16 what time would my iPad have to leave KY in order to make it here to the west coast in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday?
 
I did a late pre-order, but I have to confess that this thread is a real nail-biter. I'm pining for you all!
 
Finally some activity! I know my iPad made it to Louisville.

edit: nevermind, I see the exception was on 4/1, not today..

But now I'm seeing this on UPS's tracker...

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 04/01/2010 3:39 P.M. UPS HAS OBTAINED DOCUMENTATION AND SUBMITTED TO FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION AND/OR DEPARTMENT OF AG/PPQ;AWAITING RESPONSE / BROKERAGE RELEASED SHIPMENT. SHIPMENT IS SUBMITTED TO CLEARING AGENCY FOR FURTHER CLEARANCE

04/01/2010 2:41 P.M. UPS HAS OBTAINED DOCUMENTATION AND SUBMITTED TO FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION AND/OR DEPARTMENT OF AG/PPQ;AWAITING RESPONSE


What does this mean, 'submitted to clearing agency for further clearance'? Is this going to hold up my iPad making it to Phoenix for delivery tomorrow?

Wait my ipad is showing that it's in route from Korea... are you saying that's not a good thing?

Most packages are sorted from 11-4 AM.

http://money.howstuffworks.com/ups1.htm

I wouldn't worry.

Well what worries me a little is that in usually cases (I know this is a special delivery thing) that if it leaves at 4 am from KY it goes to Ontario, CA then to Las Vegas, and if it is sorted at 4 am , it has no time to get here by 7 or 8 am in Las Vegas, as if a package is not arrived by that time it does not seem to go out for delivery that same day. This may be different they may still deliver packages that arrive at 10 am because of such a huge shipment. Whats your opinion?
 
Steve Jobs

I just talked to Steve Jobs and he is personally delivering everyone's iPad himself tomorrow! (Yawn) oh that was a dream, now I'm awake and I look my shipping status up and low and behold, I'm still in the group that was kidnapped by the North Koreans!
 
Most packages are sorted from 11-4 AM.

http://money.howstuffworks.com/ups1.htm

I wouldn't worry.

But if it gets sorted at WorldPort between 11-4am I don't think my package would make it to Green Bay, WI anywhere close to being in time to get out for delivery. If it doesn't move in the next few hours I don't think it could make it here, since I'm pretty sure they will be putting it by truck, which takes the better part of 8-10 hours.
 
Los Angeles.
Thanks :)

There are flights to Ontario, Burbank AND LAX every night at around 3-4 AM - don't worry, they will show up on Flightaware way later and you will get it on time :)

I can't find any other flights to Pittsburgh tonight... hmm...

Vacation? In Pittsburgh? You've Got To Be CRAZY! LOL!

They will show up... don't worry, it will probably leave REALLY late, because like mine (I live North of you in Rochester, NY) the flight up to my region doesn't leave KSDF until 4 AM :)

This is the flight that stopped over in Korea. I think we are now officially screwed. :(

Don't worry! Gosh, the UPS site is majorly behind right now. And like I said before, it is IMPOSSIBLE for UPS to leave our packages in Korea - they would only leave them there if they were LOCAL - otherwise they continue on to WorldPort. If there was an aircraft issue, we would know because the Flightaware info would have reflected it. But both that flight AND one today both have passed through ICN and PANC Anchorage, so UPS just hasn't updated those ones yet :)

Cool, in your opinion TechDude16 what time would my iPad have to leave KY in order to make it here to the west coast in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday?

4 AM EST (local time for KSDF Louisville) :) Because realize with the time change, it won't make a huge difference as it will arrive at about the same time LOCALLY in KLAS as compared to the local time it left from KY :)
Los Angeles here as well. Finally got scan at 7:33pm. Sounds like it will be here on time.

Yupp :)

I am saying it is bad since we haven't gotten an update in about 24 hrs. (That was in Korea timezone). And now UPS told this fella it won't be there until Monday. Techdude has more faith but I am at this point thinking there is a problem with getting it by Saturday. Techdude knows alot more than me. I'm just going by how I see all the other packages moving except for those on this flight.
 
TapDawg... we show similar tracking results...

I ordered at 5:32am PST on 03/12/2010... my iPad shipped early, but tracking information has been lagging. At one point I had an entry for being in the US, but it has since disappeared.

And the dates don't make sense. But I am hoping for the best. Searching by reference number yields (4) separate entries and (2) different tracking numbers.

PackageTrackr.com offers this confusion...

Ha, if UPS misses the Saturday delivery promise Steve Jobs can eat the freight and have his iPad back. I don't really care about getting the damned thing a few days later but I'm not taking time off work to wait around for a UPS truck Mon - Fri so that I can sign for it. If it doesn't show up, I'll buy it after the frenzy dies down. I'll refuse delivery on the case and dock too since they are basically useless without the iPad. C'est la vie.
 
This is the flight that stopped over in Korea. I think we are now officially screwed. :(

Just got off the phone with UPS international, my package is on that same Korea flight. She assured my that my package will be delivered tomorrow before 5pm and that it is already in the country. She said because of the heavy volume of packages the scans have not caught up with the computer. I live in Missouri.
 
Well what worries me a little is that in usually cases (I know this is a special delivery thing) that if it leaves at 4 am from KY it goes to Ontario, CA then to Las Vegas, and if it is sorted at 4 am , it has no time to get here by 7 or 8 am in Las Vegas, as if a package is not arrived by that time it does not seem to go out for delivery that same day. This may be different they may still deliver packages that arrive at 10 am because of such a huge shipment. Whats your opinion?

This won't happen - UPS NEVER operates flights to Ontario and then to KLAS.

They only operate flights from WorldPort in KY to KLAS - and there will be one leaving at 4 AM EST tonight based on 4 months of history I just looked at :)

Don't worry, what you said above will NOT happen.
 
I just checked FlightAware, if my iPad wasn't on UPS3152 then there are other flights to PGH tonight....
 
Still on schedule for delivery by tomorrow...

Just got off the phone with Chris at UPS international shipments. He said it was still scheduled for delivery by end of day tomorrow.

Here is what my online tracking currently shows...
