iPad 2 Shipping

Has anyone that has had their iPad already ship seen it move from Lantau Island, HK? Nothing has changed as far as the ship date or the delivery date, it just has not moved in a day or so.

For those newer to the group -- the packages shipping UPS usually don't show an update after departing the EPZ for 2-4 days depending on if there are any packages in the entire shipping container with customs issues holding things up. The next stops in the route to the U.S. are usually Chengdu, China -> Hong Kong -> Anchorage -> Louisville -> your UPS hub.


The "in transit to Louisville" shows up everystep of the way and has nothing to do with actually being on the way to Louisville now. Not until you see the other cities and an arrival scan in Louisville is your package actually there.


My package was shipped May 9, and did not show Hong Kong until May 12 (it showed Chengdu after Hong Kong in some type of UPS tracking mix up). It arrived in Chicago May 14, but that was a Sat. so was not delivered until yesterday.

@Soundwarp if it's set to deliver today and it's looking like there's no way that's going to happen, give Apple (not UPS... they could care less) a call. They need to know that the carrier they're using isn't getting the job done, and hopefully they can make amends in some way.


I've had packages from China shipped to me via UPS from other companies and sometimes all you'll get is an origin scan and then a scan right when they hand it off to you, with little or no tracking in between. It's really frustrating but sometimes it's just bad tracking when the package is actually on time.

My iPad was orederd on May 2, 2011 at 8:32PM. Original Ship dat was May 16th and Delivery Date May 17th then was pushed to May 20th and according to FedEx is May 19th. I tracked the flights up until it got to newjersy and from there i lost it so im stuck as to how they plan to get it to where i am (DC).
