I was wondering how likely that is, as mine is also in the Mississauga sorting facility; and I live in Mississauga. In all likelihood I will be driving past the sorting facility going to work. Hahaha.

I'm 15 minutes from the airport Fedex facility myself. Now that it is so close I can't bear the thought of it sitting in that warehouse until tomorrow. Please deliver it early Fedex. :eek:
 
Please Mississauga ... I can't take this any longer! Let's just put an end to this and I can finally stop taxing your servers with constant refreshes.

The truck will leave at around 9 am so there's time :) oh god I'm excited
 
Has anyones iPad left Mississuaga yet? God this wait is killing, its soon close. :(

The sort should be completing soon - trucks are being loaded right now

they might have a hold on the packages but I think there might not be a problem

last week package came in a couple minutes before the ipad did, was on a truck by 9:05

before it hits the truck it should update "at dest fedex facility" then loaded on a truck - I'm unsure if they load the trucks for afternoon delivery (since they do have different windows) so it could take a little bit

either way it might still be held till tomorrow

That would suck, since the UK people are getting their iPads early.
But, a hold would kill me lol
 
Wow, you're up there. You live in the Yukon? That's like a verb for everyman for himself wilderness where I come from. :p

If your package was scheduled for delivery at 5PM and it wasn't a customs issue, then they probably did come by, but like you mentioned you weren't home to pay duty. Speaking of which, paying duty is the most annoying thing ever. You pay tax when you buy it, then you pay duty. Double taxation sucks the big one.

Well actually they left me a phone message at home on Tuesday and I didn't get it till 5pm. Called them back and payed the charges over the phone via VISA. However, that whole day Tuesday it just sat in Vancouver and I think that delayed it one day.

As for today my ipad is now in Vancouver, so hoping for early tomorrow delivery. The plane it comes on is AirNorth usually and not AirCanada. AirNorth arrives at 2pm this afternoon. However, they never seem to try to deliver it that same afternoon. Even my other shipment yesterday was here by 2pm and it is waiting till today to deliver even though it was estimated/guaranteed for yesterday!

Now showing "In transit" Mississauga Package available for clearance

I'm assuming this means the docs are now available for Customs clearance. So it's not on the 9am trucks. Here's hoping there is an afternoon delivery.

Mine is showing the same. Not sure if they will forward to London today, however it's only a 90 minute drive down the 401. :)
 
Status unchanged for delivery in Toronto. Still says "At dest sort facility MISSISSAUGA, ON". Here's hoping to afternoon delivery. If not, at least it's good to know they've already arrived locally, it's just a matter of delivery now.
 
My 2 iPads are at my local Fed-Ex depot, I called and asked if I could just come pick it up, and they said that Apple asked them not to allow people to pick them up.... Good news my iPad is only 3Km away, Bad news I have to wait 24 hours to get it.....

Really? I am like a 40 minutes drive away and I should be allowed to pick it up, even though it's scheduled for delivery (to downtown) tomorrow before 10:30AM.

Mine is also being delivered downtown, and is scheduled for tomorrow before noon...

That being said, has anyone with a delivery going to Toronto proper received theirs, or is there an indication on the FedEx tracker that it is on a truck?

I'm starting to think the chances of getting it today are looking very, very slim.

Goddamn Europeans...! :mad:
 
mine is sitting at the local fedex center, probably being loaded on a truck don't know if it will be delivered today but I'm crossing my fingers

edit : I did get my sim card today

i doubt it's on a truck waiting. it's just sitting in the FedEx sorting facility.

i live in the central heart of downtown and all my FedEx (and UPS) deliveries are always scheduled before 10:30AM. since the iPad arrived at the mississauga sorting facility at 6:48AM, it obviously had plenty of time to clear through the lame Canadian custom and back-breaking brokerages there. if FedEx really wanted to deliver it to me early, it would have put it on a delivery truck and deliver it to me before 10:30AM today already - instead of tomorrow.

so no, i'd say FedEx won't deliver all Toronto orders this afternoon or tonight. they will definitely start tomorrow.

update: confirmed: here's a written reply from a FedEx representative:
No, it will only, go out for delivery on the commitment date of the 28th if there are no customs delays
That is correct. With Apple shipments we can only make a request for pick up after the 1st delivery attempt has been made
