Out for delivery! Didn't think it would really happen, after spending nearly a whole day in Korea, it left, and made it through Anchorage, Louisville, and is now Out For Delivery! Woot woot!
 
Out for delivery in SF! It’s so taunting how we can track these phones as they travel across the globe, but I can’t see precisely where it is on the truck in this little city. ;P

Now I just hope that someone is going to be home to sign for it.
 
Our elusive Gold 32GB Verizon phones are on their way to American soil....still on schedule for a Friday delivery to NJ for me...still beats waiting on line for me...all of us 1-3ers just were a week delayed.
 
My AT&T arrives today... But I decided to buy "device only" Verizon 5s.

It hella sucks I can't find a Verizon 5s at any of the 8 Apple stores that are all within 10 mile radius of my house. All the stores have the AT&T models.

It looks like a lot of folks are going with the VZ device.
 
Still stuck in Lousiville :(

For all of us whose iphones "missed their connection" in Louisville today. Have you seen a change in your scheduled delivery date? Mine still says by end of day, today. That's not going to happen, but hopefully by tomorrow.
 
Can you pre-sign for the package on ups.com?

I didn't think my order would be on the truck for delivery today and I won't be at the house.

My delivery date hasn't changed either even though I have the "missed connection" message also. Am I wrong in thinking that it will still arrive today?

Not sure...I feel like the UPS website doesn't update right away, it could already have been scanned for departure. I have refreshed multiple times over the past few days, and the time stamps don't add up to me refreshing on Eastern Standard time, and I am compensating for the different time zones.My iPhone actually went back in time.

Left Korea on 9/26 and arrived hours later on Alaska on 9/25 :)

Check this link from earlier in the thread....I've been going off others' screenshots and following these flights, definitely is cool watching it all unfold

Awesome! I am in TX and am set for a Friday delivery too! My tracking info is the same as the rest waiting for the 32 GB gold on Verizon! Can't wait, just bummed that tomorrow is my first day back to work in four days--figures! :rolleyes:

I got it!!! This thing is so fast! It's really amazing!
Just has a heads up for activation. It can only be done over wifi right now.

Btw, home button will take some getting used to.

Lol it boggles the mind but have a look see at my tracking so far.

A few hours ago I was wondering how was it possible to get it delivered in another state on the same day! Less than 5 hours later it's in another state AND already on a truck out for delivery in my zip code.

Have fun tracking your phone!

Thanks for the info. Now I can be even more anal! ;)

There is no way it will arrive today. My understanding is that our phones are going to sit in Louisville all day and then they'll get them out on a later flight tonight or possible tomorrow morning as should have been the case today. We should definitely get it by tomorrow or at the latest Monday. Sucks, I know!

FYI - even though this is an option UPS will not leave it without a signature. I spoke to the delivery guy yesterday. They know specifically which boxes are iphones and under strict instruction to NOT release unless you have the printed authorization from order status page on apple.com on the door. So the "Leave At" feature is worthless for iPhones. Alternatively you can change delivery to will call but you run risk of it taking an extra day since it might already be on a truck.

I hate to admit it, but I agree....pretty positive will get it by Friday though. Monday would be absolute torture!
 
Anyone have an estimate on what time our missed connections would be re-established? I've been looking through flight tracker, but it's easier said than done.
