This is surreal. Part of me is still not believing this. Its like I was hoping to get it by today and since it seemed very unlikely, i hope it would show up on saturday, but knowing how unlikely it is, i completely gave up and was just hoping that i receive it by tuesday....then apple emailed...woot woot!!!

my ups page has still yet to be updated, (still showing departure from alaska), but i hope ill get them tomorrow. Also AW series 2 are showing up in my local best buys, so ill go pick them up first thing in the morning too!
 
No email from Apple yet for me. But seemingly my plane hasn't landed yet. 4:24 departure. Hoping to wake up to some good news but we will see.

I was in the 7:43 group and last saw a 4:11 departure from Alaska. Stayed up this long so figure I'd wait until touchdown in Louisville
 
Touchdown in Louisville 1:28am

It was nice traveling with you guys mine is on its way to New York City.

Sad part is my package is on hold for pickup so I won't be able to get it until Monday since my local hub isn't open tomorrow :(
 
I hope to get in on this also! I have a 3:39 departure from Anchorage, with a "delivery information not available" from my UPS tracking.

I leave town for two weeks early Sunday morning, and UPS will not let me change the delivery options.

Edit:

It's in KY, and now they say it's a Monday delivery. And still won't let me divert the shipment.

So if you do this it allows you to upgrade from surepost to UPS ground for free. When I looked that up it looks like they give it to the post office for delivery. Would that mean Saturday delivery is a high possibility???

Delivery time is slower than groundservice. The delivery time of SurePost is typically one day slower than UPS Ground. This is because on the day UPSwould normally be dropping the package off at your customer's door, it is instead dropping it off at the USPS branch nearest to the customer. ... Time.]
Hmm... I'm not sure. I've never seen SurePost or heard of UPS handing off to USPS. What I was referring to, is when you do finally get a delivery time estimate, such as "by the end of the day on such and such date," the confirmed 2 hour window lets you set when in the day you want the package delivered. You do not get to pick any random time. There is a list of 2 hour windows that you must choose from. This wasn't available until my phone arrived in Louisville.

I got the Saturday email from Apple that said UPS will deliver it on Saturday. Then I also got an email from UPS saying it won't be delivered till Monday. This is probably because the UPS saver service that was used to originally ship the package doesn't have a Saturday delivery and it's a special accommodation. I look forward to getting my new phone today!!!

I preordered mine through T-Mobile. Finished everything by 12:11, got an expected shipping date of 9/27-10/24. Its been 2 weeks and it's still processing and absolutely no updates. Really disappointed about all of this.
