Diff types of Next Day Air and also residential NDA stuff has a longer window to be delivered by.... Commercial NDA stuff has a earlier window.. this is for domestic stuff....

International might be diff

No, the same applies for international (ie. you are correct). The residential commit times are good point, I do most of my interaction with UPS commercial account, so that is what I am used to. However, residential times maybe later than the published commercial times, but I believe UPS breaks this out somewhere. In my market, res and com NDA times are the same - 10:30. Of course, the airport is only 10 min from my house!

With the 4 and 4s, those that shipped from China via UPS were set for 10:30 AM delivery.

What my UPS guy told me last year was that they were busting their asses to get them all delivered by 10:30 am because that was their service level guarantee; those that weren't able to be delivered by 10:30 would be delivered during the course of their normal delivery routes. I got my 4s at about 10:00 or so.

And yippee--though mine still says "preparing for shipment" on apple.com, it shows arrival at ZhengZhou as of 6 pm. :)

Did you enter your phone number and zip? Apple website still says "preparing for shipment" even though I can actually track it now.

I was able to pull my tracking up using the ref# method but just a question. Are you all using your mobile # to track it or home number?

I've been trying my mobile number as well as every other number on the same family plan and nothing would show up.

I then just decided to try my home phone since that is what is on the shipping and billing address and the tracking info instantly popped up. Weird. :confused:

Why would my phone number + zip return TWO packages with the same tracking number?

Anyone else getting this? As far as I know I only ordered one iPhone 5. :)

Cool…I tracked mine via UPS using my phone# in "track by reference" and it actually worked. Now I have the legit tracking # and can follow it throughout its entire journey. Super pumped for Friday to get here. Nothing like opening a new Apple product that you have never even seen in person.

Mostly 32/64 GB have actually entered the UPS tracking system. Expect 16GB with "pending shipment" to enter the UPS tracking system by tonight. It's currently 9/17/12 12:33 AM in China, and it appears that UPS picked most orders up around 9 AM, meaning 9PM Eastern, so by 11 PM EDT tonight most 16GBs should be on the UPS system.
Just my two cents.
