Were you on Flight 84?

I was told Priority is overnight. I have Priority given to me via AppleCare on mine. I was told by everyone that unless the shipper paid extra for the Saturday option - no way. AND they won't let anyone come pick it up cuz it'll sit on a pallet.

Another flight 84 watcher here, coming to Texas, expected delivery 11/16...

With this service level, would Fedex even attempt delivery on a Saturday?

Nope, only FedEx Home delivery runs on Saturday as a regular service. Here's hoping for tomorrow still...again, I've been through this routine a few times and there is a good chance that they will deliver tomorrow-not to get everyone's hopes up too much! ;) :)

These units are in a position for FedEx to deliver every one of them overnight at this point. Since we were stranded in China and the Priority service time frame is now exceeded they have an obligation to the shipper (and the buyer) to meet the deadline. Whether that will happen only the Shadow knows...:)
 
Looks like the next flight out today is to Memphis and is FX 90 departing at 2:51 pm local (Anchorage) time...hmmmmmm....! :)
 
OK, despite the time zone thing being weird on FedEx's site (it shows my International release thing at 8:14 PM, but that should be 11:14 AM if going by Alaskan time and in conjunction with arrival time), I think I have the flight out for Memphis (which looks like the only US route from Anchorage -- everything else departing goes overseas):
FX 90
http://www.flightstats.com/go/Fligh...o?id=176041718&airlineCode=FX&flightNumber=90

Scheduled for 2:51PM local time -- so we have ~2 hours for our packages to get sorted and put on that plane.

At least that's how it looks. If it makes it to Memphis today, I feel like we'll get them tomorrow. If we miss the Memphis flight and have to wait overnight, well, it'll be Monday.
 
I'm in Illinois. FedEx is not sure if mine would go to Memphis or Indy.

She claims that the hubs Anchorage would go to are:
Oakland, Dallas Ft Worth, Indy, Memphis, Newark.

Is this wrong and they all go to Memphis?

Do you guys see other flights to Memphis besides 90?

(still on hold trying to get tracking info that's not on my screen)

I'm in GA and most of the time shipments go to Memphis, but I have had shipments go to Indianapolis before...but very rarely.
 
I was told definitively my baby will be on a plane to INDIANAPOLIS. Not Memphis.
(I'm in the West Chicago Burbs)

It's still in Anchorage.

She is saying there is NO DOUBT I will get it tomorrow!

I think we're all good to go for the most part. Now I need to find the flights to Indianapolis!!!

Based on your situation I guess mine could go to Oakland... I guess it all depends on what flights FedEx has moving tomorrow to our particular areas. I am waiting for my Apple FedEx page to update to delivery 11/13 again...:D
 
the tension is building.... i just want to know when I'll get it for sure! This is so freaking teasing!

I'm going home now. I'll check up later :)

Don't count on it...most of the time they don't update it if it's early...you'll just check your tracking and it'll say "On FedEx truck for delivery"!
 
If my lady is right and mine's going to Indy, my flight leaves at 2:37 which beats the 2:51 Memphis flight. Arrival 12:08am Friday.

Memphis arrives at 11:33pm Thursday. Will that make a difference? Meaning. Arriving on Friday vs. Thursday technically?

If this were the Amazing Race, Phil might have a wonderful 1-week vacation for you for winning this leg of the race!

My computer might have been a little slower than others to clear customs, but I have it showing that at 11:56 Alaskan time, it did. If I get my machine tomorrow, I'm going to go absolutely bonkers!

Not really... I have had Apple products reach Memphis at mid-night and beyond and be on a plane for LV at 3:00AM or so and it is still out for delivery the next morning.
 
I too am a container mate of Flight 84, I feel lucky too since I ordered my i7 stock on Oct. 27 at 8pm! Nice to be on this thread after reading all 3100 posts on the other thread, so thanks meagain!
 
My i7 is on this plane too, and I hate to say it but I think the 8:15pm International Customs thing is not a timezone screwup but rather when it will be depalletized (sp?) and clear customs. That means it will be on a plane out of AK sometime after that. So while there is still a chance for Friday deliveries I am not getting my hopes up.
:(
 
That's it! I'm cleaning off my table and making sure my Time Capsule is pristine!

We should get another tracking in about 1.5 hours? I think.

No. It's cleared customs already at 2:14pm (that's your 8:14pm in translation LOL). Go to your fedex tracker and select "destination" as your timezone.

Just FYI: Per Flight tracker, they just added another flight to Memphis- FX64 leaving at 3:47PM:

http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByAirport.do?airport=%28ANC%29+Anchorage+Intl%2C+AK%2C+US&airportQueryDate=2009-11-12&airportQueryTime=-1&airlineToFilter=%28FX%29+FedEx&airportQueryType=0&x=22&y=8

Oooh, very interesting. I'm also curious if other flights exist other than those listed (as meagain has heard hers is going through Indy).

I'm in Atlanta so Memphis would be faster, I'm thinking.
