Hmm looks like it might skip the detour in Taiwan Japan and etc, CHEK LAP KOK is the name of the HK international airport, so according to what others have posted, next stop should be Anchorage AK.

Mine's still to be delivered, but luckily UPS already made a order... now the iPad just has to get into their hands, and I should receive it within 2 days.

Hoping to receive it on wednesday!
 
IPad2

Wth...my ipad2 just sat for 3 days in HK. I could have gotten mine before last weekend.:rolleyes:

Looks like my ipad will be going on the same plane as yours...prolly mine waited for more orders before it was loaded by FEDEX for shipping.
 
Okay, so I may be a bit obsessive, but whatever... :D

I went through all the postings since 5/5 and grabbed data on order date, ship date, deliver date, iPad type ordered, destination, and shipping vendor. I copied the date info below.

Here is what I found:
-Shipments leave China almost everyday. Exceptions 5/7 and 5/13
-Order Placement to Ship timeframe going downward. From 17 days for orders placed 4/13 to 11-12 days for orders placed 5/1-5/4
- No real difference between ship dates based on memory size
- Average Ship to Deliver time is 4 days (didn't note which were expedited)
- 28 of 36 shipments where carrier was noted were with UPS

So, applying this to an order placed 5/16 would give:
Ship by 5/27
Deliver by 5/31

I ordered mine yesterday, so we'll see how they perform! :apple:

Ordered 5/4, Estimated Shipping was 5/18 and Delivery was 5/24.

Yesterday, it changed to Prepared for Shipping,

and Today, it is finally shipped and leaving China.

Delivery date changed to 5/20 :)

It's shipping by UPS, but I like it because FedEX never delivers correctly to our house :(

Just 5 more days!

my tracking looks the same exact way. iPad has been stuck in that EPZ location for 2 days now.


WTF??!!!??! DAMN YOU CHINA!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
hhmmmmm

going off my tracking below. Does this mean my package is already in Germany or the package is actually in HK and the paperwork has been processed in Germany awaiting it's arrival?

Just wanted to give you a heads up, I ordered on the 14th, with apple stating a delivery of 6/6.

So are you saying it's looking like it would be here sooner then the 6th? :D:D:D:apple:

It's at the Hong Kong airport.
The carrier pre-clear for Customs by electronically submitting info.

Btw, I was just at the Apple store on 5th Ave in Manhattan this afternoon. They probably had at least 50+ in stock on the table behind the cashiers.
I ordered online thinking it's hard to catch one at stores, oh well, I guess the engraving kinda make it up.
 
mine is in alaska now... =)

Well, I'm just saying that if you apply the average performance we've seen here over the last few weeks...it's a possibility. However, I'm not getting my hopes up until I have iPad in hand. :D
