Yep...my ATV stuck in Anchorage for more than a day....went from Anchorage...to Oakland...to Boise....overnight. And now it's on a truck for delivery less than 24 hours after leaving Alaska.

Good recovery....kudos to FedEx... Now I get to enjoy the ATV all weekend. Oct. 5th delivery on Oct. 1st.

Yeah, I remember ours being in Anchorage around the same time. For some reason, mine still says "Oct 1, 2010 2:20 AM Arrived at FedEx location NEWARK, NJ" as the most recent update. It seems that the vast majority of people are receiving their ATV shipments the day after they leave Anchorage. 99 times out of 100, anything that gets to Newark before 5:00 am, arrives at my doorstep that same day. I'm still holding out hope *fingers crossed*.

Good luck man. We're in this together...I won't open mine till you get yours.
:D
 
I call 1-800-463-3339 and told them that my package was at the dock and if it didn't make a truck could I come and pick it up. She told it should be on a truck, but wanted to make sure. Took my phone number and called the dock and they called me back and ensured me it was on the truck.

FedEx website just updated and it now says "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" at 8:07 am. This showed up 90 minutes after it happened. Try the tracking site again!

Jeff

Thanks. Mine was updated at 12:08pm saying it was on the truck for delivery! It's gonna be a great appletv kinda night
 
I called FedEX since it still says my :apple:TV is in Tempe, they center and they called me back. They told me that it is on the truck and will be delivered between 2:30 pm and 4:00pm. Great customers service from FedEX!!! So it does look the tracking systems is a little bit behind. And yes we both live in BFE sides of the valley :cool:!!! I will confirm when it is in my hands!

Mine is now listed as:
Oct 1, 2010 8:05 AM
On FedEx vehicle for delivery
PHOENIX, AZ
 
If you don't mind me asking, where are you located. Just wondering if I have any hope in MD for delivery today.

Must be 1:35 pm in MD now....so if your package isn't listing in the tracking info as on a truck for delivery...it isn't going to happen. Sorry...
 
Kinda figured. Just trying to be optimistic. Oh well, it's gonna be a long weekend...

I feel for ya....been looking forward to my 1st ATV.

Mine arrived at my locate FEDEx center in Boise, IDS at 5:51am. So, I was really worried it would be too late to sort and get on a truck. By 9:00am my time I got an update that it was on a truck for delivery at 7:35am. Past 8:00am or so I don't believe they load too many trucks.

So I got fortunate....for once!!!

You can try calling your FedEx center to schedule a pickup late today or tomorrow if it's not too long of a drive. I've done that before.
 
just got mine and look forward to hacking and modding it, I hope someone will be coming out with some neat tricks for it?

Mine has the same status, arrived in Newark at 2:20AM. I have to tell you something though. When I pre-ordered my iPhone 4, my roommate ordered one the same day. His iPhone took the route from Alaska to Newark and arrived around 2AM at their facility. Mine took the longer route from Alaska to Memphis to Newark and arrived around 7AM at their facility. Mine was immediately put on a delivery truck, while his did not arrive till 2 days later. It was just sitting there in Newark for no reason. I am starting to think that this is what happened to my Apple TV now. I have no update since the 220AM arrival in Newark. I live in NYC.

Disappointing update. Mine just left Newark at 1:30 pm, en route to Connecticut. Won't have it until Monday. I'm guessing the 3+ hour delays out of Newark had something to do with it.

Those whose AppleTV's are in Newark, check your tracking. It looks like they're starting to break them loose with the storm winding down.

Still no update.. usually it goes on delivery truck for me once it hits Newark, since NYC is pretty close by.
 
Got mine this afternoon while I was out (good thing I put the shipping release form out!) but I haven't had a chance to open it up yet. Incredibly small box! At first I thought they messed up my order and accidentally sent me an iPod!
 
I'm a little too eager to get this. My tracking changed to "Delivery Exception" for a wrong address. I double checked my order and the address was right. So I called Fed Ex (recognizing that Apple may have screwed up) and they told me they already figured out the address mistake and I should still get it today. Too weird.

They lied to me. I just called and talked to a new person who said they didn't even attempt a second delivery. Trying to get a Saturday delivery or pick it up. I'm annoyed because I had a bad day (for other reasons) and if they simply told me they couldn't deliver it I would have picked it up straight from work.
 
Mine has shipped. :)

Ordered September 6. "Ships October 8, Delivers by October 15".

Shipped 4 days early, not bad.
 
on the truck...

Just checked tracking info this morning, it's on the truck for delivery. Hope it gets to the house before I do!!!

Hey Sulli, hope yours shows up today as well!
