Hmmmm....put in various cities-Memphis, Indy, Atlanta, etc, and there were no FedEx planes listed arriving in any city from midnight until 6am. Not sure why none are listed, but that can't be right.
Got a tip for us?

My iMac is on the same flight (let's hope it's Oakland). Thank you so much for having a look at my website. Even though I'm a Nikon guy, I hope that you love your 7D. Did you consider buying a used 5D instead? I love full-frame digital. I shoot a D700.
This is the first time I've ever tracked a package with the utmost diligence! I thank all of you guys/ladies for putting the excitement out there!!! This is really fun!
Anyway, my FedEx tracking says Departed Alaska around 4:48pm...and in looking at the flight tracker, flight 86's departure to Oakland was at 4:46. I've gotta believe my i7 is on that flight...so to all my traveling package buddies..."PAAAAAAARTY PLAAAAANE!" Anyone have extra drink coupons?? haha
Flight is scheduled to come in at 9:24pm. I'm in LA so it has to make one more flight before delivery. I hope it can still make it for Friday.
JonnyBravo, say hi to Vince, Eric and Turtle for me! I love you guys!
Arrived FedEx location Oakland, CA. From here it is a guessing game for sure as to how and when it gets to Las Vegas...
Lol! I will!
NevadaJack...Seems like there are direct flights from Oak to LV. Checking the tracker for Nov 13, there's a flight from OAK to LAS scheduled around 2:20am. (flight #1864). The tracker doesn't update further than approx 3ambut it'll update later on as the hours go by. There should be more LAS flights throughout the day. Not sure how long it'll take for packages to go through processing in Oakland though...hopefully yours gets on the 2:20.
I think about 500-600 miles or about 2 hours maybe by air. I hope I get on that 2:20 flight because that would give them time to process it for delivery.
They may just truck your unit to the Fed Ex in Chicago... there is certainly enough time to get it there to get on a truck for delivery. Good luck...
Nevada - LOL You must have had better historical experiences with FedEx than I.OK. I'll keep my chin up.
I just checked the times on that 2:20 AM out of Oakland... arrives in LV at 3:31AM and knowing the FedEx routine here, it will be Out for Delivery at about 8:00 or so.
Keep in mind FedEx is under pressure to deliver Priority mode and 11/13 was the day for delivery. I am sure they will strive to get these units delivered. I don't know if their is a penalty when they don't meet a deadlines.
Hang in there....
The problem is they will meet their deadline easily because we have Monday as a delivery date. So their butts are covered. My other issue was a FedEx person told me if they didn't clear customs by 2pm AK time, Friday likely won't happen. Mine cleared 3:53pm. So IDK.
I'll be lucky if FedEx can find my house. They never do.
My plane (I think) landed at 12:19a CST. Gosh what a long flight.

I am sure our lovely i7 iMacs will be on one of these flights, and be on our doorstep in the morning sometime!
Also for Las Vegas there is a direct flight listed there as well!

Alright, my machine is in Oakland! There is a 2:28am flight up to me in Seattle. Maybe I will see it tomorrow morning! On the other hand, estimated delivery is still Monday.
my i7 arrived in memphis at 12:26 AM. hoping for a delivery (somehow) to DC area by afternoon. so stoked.
Ok mine is in Fort Worth. Would feel better if it went to Memphis but it got to Ft. Worth about two hours ago.
Edit: OK it left Ft. Worth about 30 minutes ago. If it goes straight to Atlanta I think I'll get it tomorrow.

Mine landed at 12:26AM in Memphis.
Not sure it is getting to Huntsville today since I would have thought would have already been en route.
Shouldn't have left last night?!
Edit:
Just checked again, and it now shows departed at 3:39AM. If it arrives by 7AM at the sort facility it might get to my house. If not I work about 10 minutes from the sort facility. So I could just go pick it up

Ok. So my package is now in Durham, about 10 miles away from my house. It arrived there at 6:24am.
It should be delivered today, right?? I'm going to be irritated if I have to wait the whole weekend with the dumb thing just sitting there 10 miles down the road...

I would be too.. From my experience, wait a bit and see if it goes out on the truck. If you call and ask them to hold it AFTER it goes out on the truck, they won't deliver it. I would wait around to about 9ish and by then you would know.
Left Indy at 4:25 AM and arrived at destination sort facility, So. Boston at 6:23 AM.
No action since. They usually send it to So. Yarmouth and then out, but the local truck usually leaves the hub before 7:00 AM so this will be dicey. I have had weekend shipments sit in So. Boston until the following Monday. Only time will tell.
