just a quick note to all those waiting... i'm not totally sure on this (but have eliminated all other feasible options it seems) but working with the macbook air makes your hands (and fingers I guess) all glittery... at least mine are sparkling in that silvery shine from the notebook it seems.. so get all excited cause you'll have never felt as feminine before... :D:D

I think the Fedex tracking website caches the results so that it stays responsive as you all hammer it looking for updates. :)

When I track my order (1.8/SSD/15th@4pm) on the Fedex site, the last thing I see is that it left Anchorage at 7:46PM yesterday.

When I track it on http://www.simpletracking.com I can see some more updated results, looks like it arrived in San Francisco this morning at 3:40AM.

I haven't tried simpletracking.com before now (just discovered it via google) but it seems to have some more recent info.

In my quest to track my package even more efficiently I found this http://www.sixteenseven/tracktapp/ for the iPhone that has better updated progress then fed-ex, same results as simpletracking.

Weird, I have
Feb 3, 2008 4:21 PM
Departed FedEx location
MEMPHIS, TN

3:55 PM
Arrived at FedEx location
MEMPHIS, TN

I think out Memphis departure time is the first time we've differed. I guess that's because yours is headed to Chicago and mine to NYC.

Well how can it arrive 2 hours after it departed? Did the plane go in a loop? Do you think our Air's left Memphis?

I don't think these timestamps are very accurate. I'm guessing they arrived in Memphis (together) earlier than 3:55 and then parted ways at some later time on their respective next legs.

So yes, I would think they have left Memphis. I don't trust the times too much but I think the events (i.e. having departed Memphis) are probably pretty accurate. Don't think they'd say it departed if it didn't. But I guess we'll see.

It almost seems possible we'll have them tomorrow - definitely Tuesday.

simpletracking.com has the same info for mine as FedEx. Both list my MBA leaving INDY at 1:03pm but no updates since then. It's vanished into thin... :eek:

Even though the FedEx website says the last thing to happen to my MBA was to leave Anchorage, SimpleTracking says:

2/3/2008 3:40:00 AM SAN FRANCISCO, CA, US Arrived at FedEx Ramp
2/3/2008 3:40:00 AM SAN FRANCISCO, CA, US Left FedEx Ramp
2/2/2008 7:47:00 PM ANCHORAGE, AK, US Left FedEx Sort Facility
2/2/2008 7:46:00 PM ANCHORAGE, AK, US Left FedEx Sort Facility
2/2/2008 2:08:00 PM ANCHORAGE, AK, US Status Scan
2/2/2008 9:12:00 PM SHANGHAI, CN Left FedEx Ramp
2/1/2008 9:42:00 PM SHANGHAI, CN Left FedEx Origin Location
2/1/2008 9:09:00 PM SHANGHAI, CN Pickup status

I live in SF. Even if SimpleTracking (and FedEx) say my estimated delivery is Wednesday, is it possible I'd get it tomorrow?
