Fed-Ex email anyone? - Page 11

diabloNL · 12-15-2007, 05:39 AM

Hmmm... my FedEx tracker still says: "Package data transmitted to FedEx".

would be interested how high the highest order number is at this point .. anyone got over 8000?

If they're up to 6500-ish now, that means they've shipped about 4000 since release. That's pretty good going in not more more than a month!

Yup, same here. Got the email yesterday (order 651*) and the message has been the same since. Hope their delivery estimate of Monday morning is good....can't wait

I, personally, have a number of 7500. I think they'll be shipping it monday or tuesday if they keep up this rate. Of course, that's assuming that they don't ship on weekends. It would be amazing if they did!

I have an order number in the 78XXs. With any luck they'll send a tracking number and it will arrive next week. Unfortunately I'm away on a business trip next week, so I doubt I'll be able to post any tracking/delivery info. And since it's a gift from my wife I suspect that she may just snag it and then it will show up under the tree. (Which would make me very happy!)

I have a tracking number at 70XX. I'm hoping that I'll get a tracking number email on Monday. I would sure like to get my reader delivered before Christmas.

Also hoping for the brown cover but I'll probably be just as happy with the black one.

The important thing is that you have a cover for it. It's just too fragile without it, IMHO.

Actually, does anyone know how accurate the estimated delivery times have been? I got the email yesterday and the tracking page hasn't changed since, so I'm not sure whether to trust the delivery time and stay home from work to hug the Fedex man or not...

The estimate for me was very accurate. There was a nerve-wracking gap between the first email and the first change in status of a few hours, but once I saw that the package was on its way, I felt better. The delivery was about an hour before the scheduled delivery time.

The Fedex email said it would be here (Essex) by 12pm it arrived 11am so in my case pretty acurate.

Mine was about 3 hours late - based on the 'by 10:30 am' schedule - but we also had some fairly ugly weather the day before, which probably slowed everything down.

You'd probably get it that day, though, as long as it says "on fedex truck for delivery by 7ish am".

HarryT · 12-16-2007, 03:01 AM

Mine said "by 6pm" and it arrived about 5. I think I must be pretty close to the end of the delivery route

Mine was scheduled to ship on Dec 5th from a Nov 21st order (563X).

Got the Fedex email on Dec 13th that data was transmitted.

Spoke with Fedex, they didn't have a record -- told them about the data transmitted and they related this just meant the shipper had printed a label and it hadn't been picked up.

It actually started showing real ship status the following day -- supposed to receive it on Monday the 17th (not bad for France -> US in 4 days).

So the recommendation I give is they got slammed with orders because everyone saw the Kindle coming out and decided to see what other readers were worth buying and their ship date estimates are a little off.

Be patient ;).

Is there someone who's FedEx status changed since Friday?

Is it correct that FedEx does one delivery in the morning and one in the afternoon? Because my tracking record noted that the parcel had arrived at the local FedEx station when the delivery truck had already left (this was for the delivery by 12:00 p.m.). So I got my package in the afternoon instead.
