But see that's ****ing ********. Apple said it would be delivered today. How is that fair ?
Love that people that live states away get their phones today but because I live in the state directly above Kentucky I somehow get ****ed. Classic UPS. Gonna complain to Apple more then likely. Don't send me an email saying that my phone will for sure come today if it's not 100 percent certain.
UPS sucks, man! 
My phone rushed all the way across the continent in a few hours for them to lock it up a couple miles away since early morning today until Monday! It's almost 3pm and it only got Departure scan in my city but no Out for dellivery!

hang in there. I think you will get it. They told me that my phone would be delivered by end of day. In Los Angeles, that can be late. Don't give up hope. I think you will get it. They are just super busy!

It's beyond garbage dude I didn't even get a departure scan from Louisville and like I said I'm a couple hours from there yet people who live in Texas get their phones today ? **** that.
I hear you! I was suddenly ready to get it today then they just managed to screw it up at the last step!
It's just frustrating to see almost everyone getting theirs today and I'm stuck with Monday because of UPS incompetence
Welp.
That was a surprise.
After UPS told me my phone would be delayed past Monday....it showed up about an hour ago...
Glad this fiasco is over with. And glad UPS delivered on Saturday. But if there's anything I've learned, it's that FedEx is worth the extra couple bucks.

Yah! Glad you got it today! I agree, I ship everything Fedex. They always come through and their tracking is always accurate.
UPS indicated Monday delivery. No email from Apple. UPS Choice set to pick up at San Bernardino. Status never changed to Out for Delivery. Delivered to my home today!
I hate FedEx. Too many times I have had them deliver packages to the neighbor or deliver me the neighbors package. I guess I am a little bias as over the years I know the UPS driver that delivers here and he knows exactly where to go and if he sees a vehicle in the driveway he knows somebody is home and will not just leave.
Valid.
I actually prefer my UPS guy to the FedEx guy. UPS also comes by my house earlier than FedEx.
I've just had too many logistical problems with UPS. (Like the package they just returned to sender on their own this week. Why? They have no idea....they just did it. Said it was a "mistake".)
Alright, I've officially been using my iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black for two full days. This is the 128GB model on AT&T - and for anyone who is waiting as anxiously as they can, trust me when I say this: it'll be worth the wait.
Seriously - as soon as I took the glossy-finished phone out of the box, I knew I had made the right choice. Sure, matte black still looks great - I have a couple friends with matte black "regular" 7 phones, and I have to admit they look very sharp, and the color is a massive jump up from the progressively duller "Space Gray" we've been getting the last few years.
But it just doesn't compare to Jet Black. Period. I haven't been a fan of the Plus design since its inception - huge bezels, crazy chin, ugly antenna lines, and that camera bump made for a phone that just wasn't up to the same standard as the industry-shaking 4 or the sublime 5. The truth is, a lot of the flaws in regard to size are still there - and no doubt, with the Note 7, Samsung is finally right there - neck and neck - with Apple's phone design. But man, this color just pushes it over the edge. I mean, it feels so.damn.nice and looks so.damn.sleek in hand. You guys are going to be blown away.
Yep, it's gonna scratch like a ************. And yes, the fingerprints that cover this just won't disappear unless you intentionally clean it after every use. For many, this color will make no sense. And for those it does interest, many of those will still use a case. But for those crazy people who want to use this case-less, and know what they're getting into, I think they'll be pleased.
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is a 707 horsepower car that costs $60,000, has terrible traction, is heavy, is long, has no aerodynamics, can't turn, and is hard to drive. And one of my favorite reviews stated something along the lines of this: "Most anyone will call you a dumbass for buying a Hellcat - saying it's stupid and you clearly don't know anything. The truth is, anyone buying a Hellcat knows EXACTLY what they're getting."

I'm guessing that didn't work as you plained. Sounds like you out smarted yourself.
Mine arrived at my local hub this morning, I'm just behind y'all, as my Apple delivery was for Tuesday, and UPS said (all along) Monday, and no letter from Apple about Saturday. So I don't bother putting the release on the door...
Yes I missed the first delivery attempt!
I leave town for two weeks in just a few hours!
Shoulda, coulda, woulda...
