Guh. To get from Morrisville TO Chapel Hill? They have to drive within 1 mile of me (right past Durham). There's only one interstate they would be taking. They are probably passing by as a I type.

I get that it probably has to route through the Chapel Hill hub or whatever, but still. So close. And so far away.

Relax, just wait it out. A lot of UPS agents don't know about the agreement with Apple and some of them are giving out wrong information as we have seen in this thread.

I was mainly referring to packages going to different Sort facilities. Like the guy I quoted. I am chilled now and feel like i can go back to sleep but I can't now because I have my two little kids running circles around me...literally...
 
Would Fed Ex have done a better job?

Just got off the phone with UPS and they tell me that Apple has sent out notifications to all iPad customers informing them of when they'll receive their iPads - today (4/3) or Monday (4/5). Has anyone received specific confirmation on this? All I have are the order update emails about the order shipping - that's it.

I live near Detroit and am available for Saturday delivery, but UPS says that Apple has specifically contracted with them to follow their delivery instructions. If Apple says to deliver today, then they will; if Apple say Monday, that's when you'll get it.

Not sure who to believe here - I do not have anything from Apple stating this fact, so it sounds a bit like b.s.

They lie! I think it's the BS part. Not only have I not received the notice you mentioned the tracking information on UPS site is not accurate and up to date at all. I've been using package tracker. From what I've read and heard (particularly from Apple reps) I think that UPS was not ready for Prime Time :D

I'm 4 hours away from Dallas and UPS is saying my iPad is being delivered today..we shall see. I know I have UPS/Sat deliveries but usually my packages are out for delivery first thing in the morning, but aren't delivered till around 7pm.

Mine was scanned in San Antonio 30 minutes ago, so it's still about a 90 minute drive away. While I realize they could get it to Austin today, I've never had a package delivered that wasn't on the local truck for delivery by 8AM.
 
This is all fascinating... I have not historically seen ANY of China or Korean locations like most of you have.

Here is my iShip. I am in Apex, NC which is 17.1 miles from RDU airport.

I am assuming they are going to the service center in Raleigh which is 15.2 miles from my house. Weird, I would have thought they would have just sent it directly from the RDU center.

Yeah well some of us are still sitting where we have been sitting all week -- in flipping Louisville.

I can't say for sure. But they probably aren't there (unless, of course you live in Kentucky which I am guessing you don't). I imagine that UPS just hasn't updated their system. But I know how frustrating it is to have nothing to go on and no updated status reports. That totally blows. I am sorry for ya. Does packagetracker, June cloud or Iship say anything different at all?
 
In A Pilot's Break Room At DFW?

Mine got to DFW last night at 9:12 and I think the pilot is playing with it, because it's still there. But not to worry, UPS tells me it WILL be delivered today. As long as any fellow worriers haven't been told there simply is no Saturday delivery where they are, I'm sure their package will get to them today. This lady on the phone just now was very friendly, very familiar with what the iPad is, and very thorough in checking my address, making sure it's a residence, and all that. I asked about the normal Saturday delivery window, and she said it's usually a shorter day, but because of the volume of iPads to be processed, it's likely the drivers will have a long day ahead of them. If this was a "canned" response, it was very well done. Provided, of course, that they do get the thing to me today, I am going to have to revise my overall negative opinion of Big Brown.

I am, I looked on Google Maps and Bundlebox are about 10 mins away from the Airport. Plus Louisville is 5hrs behind the UK so if deliveries don't start until 9 we should hopefully see something in the next hour or so.

Hopefully they will arrive at Bundlebox early as I assume they will have so many going there they will probably have there own truck. Just hope they can process them quick enough and get the shipped back out again.

I have my ipad being delivered to Bundlebox today - i hope they process quickly so we can pay for shipping and get Tue or Wed next week.

I heard Andre ceo of bundlebox write that a lot of the orders they placed got cancelled so there will be some very upset customers today.
I ordered mine myself and sent it to my address. Tracking shows it will be delivered today.:)
 
I just called the automated line and my status was:

"Your package is currently on it's way to you"

That is officially the suckiest status update I've ever received.
 
Journey is nearly complete! woo hoo!

Mine left China Yesterday

My ipad also left China yesterday, which means there is no way of it getting to me here today. If this thing doesn't show up as promised, this is apple fraudulent advertising, as they clearly said that it would be delivered on launch day. I should have known that there was no way they could make that happen...

I'm in the Detroit area as well... Called UPS and they say both are in Detroit and will be delivered to me today, there is Saturday delivery in this area. Both my packages got to Romulus this morning at 7:30am... so they said I will get them by end of day today which I guess is 7pm. Just print our your pre-signed delivery form so you dont miss it.
 
Now of course I doctored the first line :)

Kind of vague . . .like on it's way from China? Hong Kong? Canada? Mars?
Out for Delivery would have been better . . . . if it was true, that is ;)

You know.... I **REALLY** didn't want to wake up and go through this crap. Sure enough... I wake up this morning after spending ALL FLIPPIN WEEK in Louisville Kentucky to find that my iPad is STILL in Louisville Kentucky with an IMPORT SCAN.

MEANWHILE FedEx has managed to get my case, which shipped YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, on a delivery vehicle for my house literally in less than 24 hours.



TECHDUDE!!!!! Please! You are my only hope.....
Click to expand...

Hahah alright I'm back!

Mine is currently on it's way from Buffalo NY and should be Arriving to my local center soon.

EVERYONE REALIZE THIS - A LOT OF THE UPS FLIGHTS LAST NIGHT ARRIVED LATER THAN NORMAL TO THEIR DESTINATIONS -- FOR THIS REASON UPS WILL HONOR SATURDAY DELIVERY AND JUST SEND OUT LATER TRUCKS I am assuming the sudden surge in the amount of packages going through have certainly bogg up the system and brought about general volume delays. Ups will NOT abandon your package - because otherwise they would delay every package they have for delivery today!

Now back to you haha - what is the city it is going to?
 
Well, I'm going to throw caution to the wind and hit the grocery store real quick since I'm not Out for Delivery yet. (And in any case I'm in the burbs and I have my signature note up.) Good luck everyone over the next little while here. I'll probably lurk via my iPhone while I'm in line, but I get no 3G at the grocery store for some reason. ;)
