Well the most ridiculous thing for me is that they 'don't have enough planes'. It's basic capacity planning. If they don't have them they need to get capacity from someone else. Also I dunno why they won't have enough planes for three days.
In other news: McDonalds ran out of ChickenMcNuggets, Mercedes is out of stars and sadly Toys R Us ran out of toys. Tz tz tz...
 
I just got off the phone with apple...apparently there's more then one story to this ordeal. UPS has faulty tracking labels info and even though it does not show it is in transit ...it is indeed on its way and will be delivered by the give due date (mine was the 19th)..they will consider it late if it is not shipped by the 23rd.
 
Did you pay for expedited shipping?

I cant believe no updates....i thought HK was a pain. Anchorage is more painful to look at no updates!1


No I didn't, it's the regular free shipping.

It will be delivered tomorrow, because when it got to Maspath facility today all the truckers left for the day already.

Excellent news. :cool: Thanks for the update.
 
mrtibbs - I really really hope that is true! Apple told me the same as UPS. That they heard the plane story several times today and that in their system it shows no delivery date either.

Weird thing this :(

*Update #2*

Just got off the phone with UPS...these iPads are indeed in transit ...they have just cleared customers this afternoon. Tracking should reflect this in the upcoming 24-48 hours

Man I hope so... Mine should be in that lot considering my dates/times are the same on UPS. I've been stalking this forum for 2 weeks... I'd really like to stalk another thread... ;)

Mine finally shipped today VIA FedEx 2 day from China. It's due to be delivered on the 19th. It's in Memphis now.

I also ordered May 3. Original Ship Date: May 17. Delivery May 19. Not confident at all... pouting a little. :(

I just hope we get our iPads before the weekend.
UPS is an awful service compared to FedEx for tracking (and shipping too).

Where did you see this message? That's not good news. Is this through UPS?

Yuck! I haven't received a message like that yet (thankfully!) Really hope I don't. Have you received any shipping notices other than this?

I haven't received that message yet but it's expected as I also haven't received an update from UPS in almost 96 hours.

You have to laugh at this point. At May 27th delivery date it would have taken UPS longer to ship it then for Apple to make it. :rolleyes:

You're on the same plane as me. Mine is going to Philly area.

Mine was in China since 5/15, and today morning finally changed!

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 05/18/2011 8:02 P.M. Departure Scan

Looks like my iPad is having some Asia Trip...

Hoping to get on Thursday because I'm really busy on Friday, but it looks like it's coming on Friday...
 
I just saw the exact same thing in mine:

FYI mine was ordered May 3. In the email (which I got May 14) it said "Delivers By May 19." I'm not confident it will make it by end of day tomorrow... what do you guys think?

I just talked to UPS on the phone, and the lady told me that it most likely won't arrive on the 19th, but before 10:30am on Friday the 20th. I hope this helps those in the same boat.
