My ipad and pencil had changed to PFS in Australia, I guess the ipad and pencil are already sit in Sydney warehouse and wait until 6/11 or 7/11.
 
My iPad is in ZhengZou, China and my pencil is in Louisville. The folio came yesterday.
How are you guys viewing this? I've been billed and order says delivery on the 7th but still no tracking number assigned. That's important to me because I want to request a hold for pickup

My iPad arrived in ZhengZou also from the EPZ. Seems like my iPhone went this route also.

Folio also arrived yesterday
 
Register with UPS My Choice. Once you have done that you can get to their calendar and find any deliveries scheduled for your address

My phone also took this route.
I'm the crazy person up before the crack of dawn this morning, but I'm caring for a recovering surgical patient and his sleep is kind of off (my husband)

I hope he appreciates you. :)

Thank you.
He does. It's hard for him to accept any help. He's one who likes to be in charge. He has no choice right now. A full hip replacement will take time for recovery.
He's taking good care of me too. I have a new iPad on the way and he didn't complain at all. This has been my year for new tech. I replaced my 7 year old MacBookPro, got a new camera and now the 11" iPad which will be a companion to my iPad Mini 2.

My order isn’t scheduled until the 13th-16th. Doubt the date will bump up, the more I think about it, the more I am thinking about cancelling and forgetting about getting one. Is there anyone watching or reading this thread in a similar situation? Just wondering, and thinking.
I can wait. I wasn’t going to get one. But I found someone that gave me a good deal on my old one. Anyhow. It’s just a tablet. So if I don’t get one on launch day. I’ll live.
 
Ok for those of us that have all of our stuff sitting in Hong Kong right now (and for the past few days), flight UPS63 is now scheduled for 3:45am Hong King time which is about 8 hours from the time of this post (2:45pm central time). So if the path for our iPads is supposed to be directly to Anchorage then we have a possibility that we will see some departure scans this afternoon.

I, for one, will feel a bit better to see them leave China so we have one less possible customs hold to delay things. I certainly don’t want another fiasco like the iPhone fiasco a couple years ago where UPS let a ton of phones sit in China for four days causing them to be delivered late past the release date. That was not fun at all.
Thank you. I am starting to get a bit concerned about mine. It has been sitting in Hong Kong for too long and I got a text update yesterday morning showing an exception. When I go to the tracking page, it just shows that it is still in Hong Kong and nothing about an exception. Maybe there will be some movement today.
 
I now have two different tracking showing up on UPS using my phone number...perhaps one is my folio and the other the ipad. One package is in Shenzhen and the other in Hong Kong. Both arriving Wednesday.

I imagine they’ll be on the flight this afternoon to Alaska.

same here in the USA my account was charged and cleared two days ago but on the Apple site is just PFS Apple charge your card only when shipping so I believe you are right
 
Our iPads are in Zhengzhou, CN... There isn't an airport in that city as far as I can tell. Stuff has been sitting there for close to 24 hours.

Looks like that’s pretty close to where the pencils originate from. I would expect your iPad to move to Shanghai and from there to go through Osaka, Japan then to Anchorage.

The next flight out of shanghai straight Anchorage is in about 5 hours from now and that is UPS81. I’m not seeing any flights right now scheduled that would go from Shanghai to Osaka then Anchorage. So I suppose your best bet is UPS81....but unless your iPad doesn’t get to Shanghai first then it’s not going to make this flight and it’ll be another day before you’ll see movement most likely.

I did that for a package recently thinking it would be available sooner but no they actually delivered it there after they would normally deliver to our house, was not happy.
Oh man, that sucks. I’ve always picked up at the same cc for these kinds of things and it’s always been ready by 8am when they open.
 
Mine moved today from Nanjing to Shanghai and now is visiting Narita, Japan. It sent me this picture because clearly it's a spiteful little thing...

I'm kinda in the same situation..only because i have a 2 week trip starting on the Nov 15 (and I'm slated for the 13th - 16th). Hopefully I get it on the 13th or 14th OR magically it comes a little earlier so I can take it with me, but if there's a hint it might come after or if it gets pushed back, I just might try the store. (Its funny though...if I do receive it early and i do get to take it, the new iPad will have more flight miles that I would in the same week lol)
 
Keyboard now currently in Hong Kong.
Tablet now currently in ZhengZhou.
Pencil departed Japan at 9:48pm, 11/3

On UPS, both the pencil and keyboard are slated for delivery by end of day 11/7, but the iPad is still saying “Date Tentative” with a deilvery on 11/7.
