FedEx updates? my iphone has been stuck in LANTAU ISLAND, HK for a while

Well you are probably right. My wife's colored bumpers are indeed on Lantau Island as well and it has been twenty hours. It is definitely a theft and not a delay in updating the FedEx online information or just the normal course of delivery. They were shipped for delivery on the fifteenth when They were not even supposed to ship until the seventeenth. OMG, they shipped early so those thieves could get their hands on them. Dang it. Will I survive.

Anxiousness about getting your phone is understandable, but criticizing FedEx cause you thought the phone should have left Lantau already is just silly.

How long is a while?

mine was about 15 hrs at and in transit to/from HK then it was in Alaska

Lantau Island is where the new Hong Kong airport is located. Your phone will probably show in Anchorage shortly.

Lantau Island is the devil of Asia. Your iPhone will be there for a good 15-24 hours. I know that all my Apple stuff is always stuck there for at least 15 hours. It drives me crazy. That little island is a thorn in my side, every time that I order something from Apple, haha. :-D

This is what I have (on the shipping status of my 2 iPhones).....

Jul 7, 2010 10:52 PM At local FedEx facility LANTAU ISLAND HK
Jul 7, 2010 5:43 PM In transit LANTAU ISLAND HK
Jul 7, 2010 1:30 PM Left FedEx origin facility SHENZHEN CN
Jul 7, 2010 11:35 AM Picked up SHENZHEN CN

and as of this morning, they're still sitting there. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to have the iPhones made HERE in the USA, employing US citizens who NEED jobs???? (Yes, I know the cost would rise but we're talking US jobs)

Just rechecked the status and now, all I get is......

An Internal Server Error Has Occurred.

Could be hijacked by pirates?

Yes my phone has been there for since early July 7th. Due for delivery July 12th. Does Fedex do home delivers on Sunday? I paid for the express shipping(2-3 days) and if it was ship July 7th and I am getting it July 12th isn't that 4 days or is Sunday not counted?

when it says "*In Transit*" next to Lantau Island that typically means that it has departed from there and the 15-24 hour wait is because the flight and time for it to clear customs/be offloaded/be scanned/be updated in their system (which shows up online) takes around 15-24 hours.

flight from there to AK = approx. 10 hours, to memphis, just shy of 15 hours

just when you thought you were clear from HK, get ready to wait 2-3 days for your phone to sit in alaska. hope yours moves faster than mine.

My iPad was in Lantau - then after about 15 hours it is in Memphis, TN. It takes awhile to fly over the Pacific Ocean.

It's not sitting there...it's in flight over the vast Pacific ocean. It takes a while - it's a big ocean.

I think it would be nice if Apple could have their devices made here in the US, but either Americans would have to be willing to work for "chicken feed" or iphones would have to cost $1,200 each. 😉

(Yes I know Apple Mark up is ridiculous - but who can argue with their business model)
