Great, mine just got 'Exception' in Shenzen.

THE SERVICE SELECTED IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DESTINATION ADDRESS / DOWNGRADED, FORWARDED TO CONSIGNEE, SELECTED SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE

What does this mean, haha? I'm panicking, I'm panicking...

From past reports earlier in this thread, I think that means you don't have Saturday delivery available in your area.
 
I wonder if UPS is doing some "illegal" by screwing around with our tracking info? I mean aren't they obligated by law to provide the correct and accurate info? oh well..

I got the same thing but yesterday when I called UPS international I was told without even saying it was an Apple product that UPS has a special arrangement with Apple and it will be delivered by the end of the day on Saturday even if your location doesn't have Saturday delivery service.

I called a 2nd time this morning and was told the same thing, hope that helps :apple:

That does ease the stress a bit, haha, thank you. I just know that being in Maine, well, we get the shaft a lot when it comes to company's and their services. I can't even get to an AT&T store without driving an hour, for example, and the nearest Apple store is in a mall 2.5 hours south. But since you got the same answer twice, on two different days, that definitely helps me feel better.
 
I have also been stuck in Billing Received/Origin Scan for the past 2 days. Not worried though since I also have one on reserve at my local Apple Store. Technically it was supposed to be for my husband but I figure if I don't get a guaranteed delivery date by Friday I will claim the reserve myself on Saturday and transfer ownership of the one I ordered to my husband. He will have the pleasure of waiting for the Monday delivery, while I sit and play with my iPad all weekend. I know it's Selfish, Ruthless and Inconsiderate, but under these circumstances I believe it's every man/woman for themselves :D

It's their version of a cruel April Fools Day joke because they KNOW we're watching.

On another note, mine has been stuck on "EXPORT SCAN" for the last 2 days.

Same for me, according to UPS, but if I look on iship.com there's a ton more information.
 
For those of you that are still tracking their iPad on USP, you might want to try www.iship.com like TechDude16 has mentioned a few times here (this guy is great and has lots of good info)

I'm getting more information from iship.

I wonder how iship gets that info. I guess UPS filters the info and only displays what it thinks is relevant.
 
i just got an email from APPLE saying we are sorry but Saturday delivery is not in your area you will get your iPad on Monday April 5


No more wondering, you will get an email if you don't have Sat Delivery


Who else is with me and has to wait till Mon?
 
I'm guessing UPS is just too lazy to update the fracking tracking number. Because Apple guranteed it to me on Saturday, and Saturday delivery us available in my area. But there's no way if they ship it tomorrow I will get it on Saturday. I wasted my whole fracking Spring Break looking forward to this so I can have a weekend+2days to play with it. I have a feeling that I'm gonna get it on Saturday though...
I have a theory that the people who live in the ares that UPS can get to quite easily are probably the ones who's iPads are still in China. The people who live "more in the boonies" are the ones who's iPads have already headed to the US.

Today's flight to Anchorage from China hasn't left yet. You never know. It may still make it there.
 
APRIL FOOLS...
not funny.

I think your theory is correct. I live in Manhattan NY, and it's still in the origin area, my friend that lives in LA hasn't gotten his either.

Be interested to know if this correlates. I ordered extremely early and am in a major metro area with lots of shipping services. I've only got the status below.
 
Apple sent me the email too. Damn. I see the UPS/Fedex trucks here all the time on Saturdays so this sucks if I have to arrange Monday off from work.

Just got the same email. Was really hoping it was a cruel April Fools, but guess not...(gently sobbing)
