I FINALLY got my scan in KY. I looked on the site for the airline arrivals, and I have a scheduled arrival in Chicago at 5:00 am. If it's on that plane, it MAY actually still get here on Saturday. This is the very first sign of hope I've had in a week. My fingers are crossed.

UPS606
MD11
Chicago O'Hare Intl (KORD)

EDT Sat 05:00AM CDT

Thinking I'll be on that same flight. Delivering out to Aurora. Woohoo!
 
George Bush and Dick Cheney have activated the Katrina Hurricane Machine in a last ditch a attempt to stop the delivery of the iPads that were to be captured by their minion, Kim Jong Il.

Accessories starting to ship

I just got notification that my keyboard dock for the iPad shipped. Wasn't expecting it for a couple of weeks.
 
Just updated! :D :D :D :D

Come to DADDY....should take off any minute now:

My scan still says:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 04/03/2010 12:24 A.M. IMPORT SCAN

Looks like this one might be the flight in question.

Question: if I see it has been delivered on the tracking, but no one was at my door to deliver it, who do I call to complain it was delivered to the wrong house?
 
Not gonna lie, this is exciting. My iPad is on a flight that hops from Louisville to St. Louis to Springfield, MO and finally ending in Wichita, KS, where I live. :D Scheduled to Land sometime around 7, talk about cutting it close!

They are going to require a signature.

You can sign for it ahead of time. Go into your order status on Apple's site and there's a link to a form you can fill out and stick on your front door telling UPS that they can leave it and where to leave it (front door/back door/neighbor, etc..).
 
Tracking a couple of iPads bound for Reno, NV. They were "stuck" in S. Korea earlier yesterday evening. They're should now be outbound on Flight UPS896 for KOMA, then on to KRNO.

Hey crew, I see an import scan into Louisville at 12:30AM and no flights seemingly that go from there to Chicago. Do you think they drive this distance since only about 5 hours? Anyone else in Chicago have anything different in their transit status than just the import scan?
 
My UPS packages always come from the Addison, IL UPS location. Any chance I'll still get my iPad today?

That's interesting...I didnt think UPS delivered on Saturday.

Oddly, UPS doesn't have Saturday delivery in my (rural) town, and I received an email from Apple stating that I would receive mine on Monday due to the lack of Saturday delivery in my area. I called UPS to ask if I could pick it up on Saturday at their local distribution center, and the lady on the phone said that Saturday delivery is definitely not available in my area, but that they have a "special arrangement" with Apple and that my package was marked in her system as going out for Saturday delivery. I have heard one other person mention a similar experience, so I'm still hoping.

But, according to the shipping info, it left Kentucky 30 minutes ago, and that's a long way from here.

Fingers crossed!

Who does Addison, IL get their supply line from? If they're not actually on an airport, what the next closest they might get fed from?

Either O'Hare or Midway. There's a flight going to O'Hare right now, but my tracking doesn't say it's on a flight.
