Mine was just delivered, NYC.

Good luck to everyone whose phones are still in transit. I'll probably be doing this again for the iPad 5 -- it's always a lot of fun! ;)

I put a "Hold at Will Call/Depot" in so I could just pick it up.

Should I cancel that (or is it too late)? Will that exception screw things up for getting it tomorrow? I guess I could put it back in early tomorrow morning when it's at my Depot. It's currently in Korea.

Thanks for any insight.

My phone was in Korea yesterday morning and picked up at will call (by me) about 40 minutes ago. I made the request before it even left China, so no, it should not effect your delivery at all and I would keep it as is if that is the best option for you.
 
Picked up my wife's gold iPhone 5s at our local UPS facility this morning! We used UPS app (My Choice free account) to request the hold at the UPS facility.

Awesome...thanks for the info!
 
Went home early and UPS truck on the corner. Doesn't look like he went into my building yet. Am going to stalk him until I see him. Lots of building in my neighborhood so takes him a while to complete his route. Plus he is probably taking his lunch hour.

I feel like I should just sit in his chair. The door is open.

When he asks why I'm hanging by his truck I will have to let him know I've been monitoring this box for 6000 miles since ZengZhou.

EDIT: he was in my building and just came out. Wow I almost missed him. But now DELIVERED! Woohoo
 
Doesn't anyone else's say this

Looks like they put some on the wrong plane out of KY.

You might want to look into the back of the truck. Phones gone, tied up driver.
 
WOW...

It arrived at 12:45pm Have to goto work at 2:30 today.

I cant believe it made the trip it did and a human showed up at my door to deliver it.

Safe and sound on Long Island, NY

PS... Apple said originally I would get it on Friday... so bravo guys


See you all next year... this has been fun !
 
For those interested, UPS99 finally came live on flighttracker.

Currently is south of the western Aleutians.

Looks like it was an issue with flighttracker receiving data from Asia, as it just popped up in the pacific with its first position report from Anchorage Center. None at all from any in Asia.

Got mine in hand right now. Gotta say that's some amazing acrobatics on UPS' part to get it here today, particularly over the final 12 hours:

Ah, WTF.... our phones were on the same flight to KY, but mine got stuck at the station?!? Stupid UPS, NJ is next to NY!
 
Still waiting on mine. Burning up my F5 key here at work. My phone just buzzed on my desk and I got excited it might be a text from the babysitter. Stupid spam email...
