FedEx Reference Track Question...?

Well, I tracked P9282LL/A (Apple iPod) through FedEx in my area (the smallest town in New Mexico) and found a shipment! I'm pretty sure this mine (hoping...I went IP3 8/24). Right now, the shipment is in Alaska...and here's my question
Anyone know what this means?
[bb495a48f2f]SHIPPING EXCEPTION
Regulatory agency clearance delay[/bb495a48f2f]
Random question - once I get an answer, this can be deleted or locked wink

well, I'm thinking maybe since its coming from China it has to go through Customs and that might be the regulatory delay...?

That's what it looks like to me though, however I really have no clue.

i think one of the workers from the apple sweatshop tried jump in with ur ipod. Those workers are only 1lb each anyways. So you wouldnt see a diff in weight untill u open ur package and found him, instead of the ipod.

I wouldn't doubt it, lunarpancake. lol
But, I don't think it's customs, because it's out of China, and now in Alaska. Checking again? I think this was a problem leaving Alaska, not coming to it...but who knows, right?
Plus (and yes, we all know there are weight problems lately so...I'm crossing my fingers) the weight is 1 kg...isn't that the Mini weight?

Didn't your status change to shipped or is it just that your sig is still not updated?

My status still has not changed to shipped. Sadly, but with truth, it MIGHT just not be mine. But my town is so small, I know almost everyone in it. Quite literally.

That is obviously not urs when u went p3 8/24. Its called common sense.

why not? it could easily have been. some people who ordered in september have been shipped. they haven't really been going in order very well.
but yeah, it's would have been [i03dc1ee050]likely[/i03dc1ee050] that it wasn't yours because of your STV date, although you live in a very small town.

well its your own choice to switch to hp and be faster, i was very reluctant to switch but i just couldn't wait any longer... i' jus gotta suck it up.
my order was shipped out 10/2 went from china to alaska and curerntly in transit out of alaska. so hopefully it'll come to california tomrorow!!! but thats highly doubtful haha. maybe give it 2 more days to get to southern cali.

Well, it wasn't the choice of when to switch that upset some folks, but the fact that Gratis apparently skipped a bunch of earlier switchers (who had STV dates back in August) and sent hPods to mid september folks. I was a 9/9 switcher (original STV of 8/24) and folks who ordered and switched on 9/15 received their hPods already - that's what was frustrating.

why did my ipod go to indiana? anyone know if they'll truck it from there or still fly to the states?

It goes to Indiana because that's where International shipments for FedEx come into the states and get screened I think. I did a little research on it when I say my status as Int'l Shipment Release from Indianapolis, IN as of 1224AM last night. It'll still come via air to your city and from what I saw a LOT of people received it the next day they saw it arrive in Indianapolis - regardless of where they were...

can u do the referance tracking on UPS too, and what's the referance # for the Hpod???

You can do reference tracking, but you'd have to see what other people's reference information is and whether its consistent. The shipper is the one who decides what the reference number is - Apple just saw fit to put the part number there. eCost on a lot of their orders will put the order number - so it wouldn't be the same reference number for everyone.

Although, eCost does also seem to put your Gratis order number on the shipment as well - not sure if its the reference number or some other bit of information. For my sister's TV that recently came from eCost her Gratis order number was actually like the second line of her address...
