FX 84 Positional Information
Sorry. We are unable to determine the current location of this flight.

It may be that the flight is temporarily beyond the range of our tracking network or over a large body of water.

You can try again later or continue to display this tracker page. If you keep this page open, we'll provide an update on its position as soon as the flight can be tracked.

Yeah what the heck. It stopped telling me where it was!!!!!

Did it land? is the flight number re-used for another plane in Shanghai? Are we all just dumb for caring this much!?

Yeah, I'm still in the stage of "non-production due to repeatedly hitting refresh in the order status screen" as described in this thread about 20 pages ago...

Tell me about it I have installed a tracking widget in my mac dashboard - the same tracking app as an app on my iphone plus I check my private mail more than I should :)

I have 3-4 tabs open i firefox reading different forum threads.

I feel like I'm a kid again and Christmas is SOOOOO far away (I'm a 35 year old kid btw) - wife and kids are beginning to think I'm a bit weird (though they might think that without the i7....)
 
I was told by FedEx that a good goal would be to clear customs, etc. by 2pm Alaska time. I'm cleaning by computer today.

So if one equated this to The Amazing Race, here, Flight 84 iMacs are at a mandatory rest stop. Once complete, the final and last leg of the race begins.... the foot race. :D

Same here... Have to give credit to meagain. She was right on target as far as whose iMacs were on that flight. Now... do we assume the same flight number for the trip to the lower 48?
 
LOL... this group tracking thing is pretty funny. Mine was scheduled for Monday, but now I'm wondering if it won't be tomorrow or Saturday.

Which is painful since I'm getting on a plane for DC in the morning and won't be back until Monday. My poor, lonely iMac will sit in a box for several days if she arrives early!
 
Now that it's in the states, I think it might be tricky to track the planes? Cuz the international leg was a bulk ship international. Something called "IPD".

In Anchorage, the container will be deconstructed. The iMacs will be split off depending on type of shipping, etc. I had gotten the flight number from going through a few departments and getting to the IPD department after being transferred from basic international.

Now we're all domestic. I'm going to try to see where I'm at later today but I question if regular FedEx would give flight numbers.

For me, I'm not even sure what hub(s) it would head to now. Sometimes they go willy nilly. I know one guy here in Cali had his go to Kentucky or something then back west to Cali again.

Yay...and ditto! I'm out and about on appointments...thank goodness for my iPhone so I can stay fully connected!
 
I hate this -- all u guys are discussing tracking details and flightstats -- I ordered my stock i5 on Nov 10th morning. Looks like I have to discuss my tracking number two weeks from now. I sold my previous iMac too soon. Aaaarggghhhh!!!

We'll probably have a better idea based on what time our packages leave anchorage. BTW, my estimated delivery date is Monday, but it's going to be very hard if I have to wait that long!
