I don't know if anyone here works at, or knows anything about UPS, but is there any way that I can convince the delivery guy to alter his friday route so that he get to my place sooner in the day? I got **** to do tomorrow, and I don't want to be sitting on my ass waiting for my phone to get here.

The best part of new iPhone releases isn't the phone, it's posts like these.

Thanks for making my day.
 
I drive for FedEx, and the ups driver along side me on my route got it all worked out with the driver in my town.
I met my ups driver at his 1st stop with a coffee and donuts at 9:44am
Yeah... I live in the boonies. He had my phones all ready for me!

What makes your delivery more important than someone else's, iPhone or not?

Unbelievable
 
have you tried "hold at location".
that way, you can drive to the nearest UPS facility and get it there.
you don't have to wait all morning/afternoon for the truck.

Yes ^ Do this or wait like everyone else. OMG, I cannot believe the anticipation for a cell phone! Excitement yes, but this nonsense of timing everything just so that your phone arrives when YOU need it to. Have some people not experienced real life? Or do we all have our heads buried so deep into our text messages, forums, FB and laptops, that we have lost our reality button?

Come up and take a breath! Go out and take a walk, get some sun, have sex, go roller skating, get some ice cream, get wasted.....whatever! Geez!!!

Life does not revolve around a cell phone. I am not soapboxing, I am just saying there is a line that needs to be drawn....

LOL, what's unbelievable are the countless useless threads he posts. Roflz, check out his thread/post history. Someone already posted a screen shot of his threads from a day or two ago. It just gets worse. I'm all for open minded mess but this guy is just completely off the wall. I don't get how a person doesn't realize things when they are always getting flamed in every post they create. If you're getting flamed consistently for every thread, its a sign. People like this just waste thread space just for attention. Face palm.
 
Let me go to a different tangent here..
i have two buddies who got their iPhone 5 ( AT&T 32GB white and black) from the Apple Store here in Los Angeles
They didn't camp or anything..
They just walked in, around 11am and there still a lot of iPhones on stock.

The whole process was less than an hour.
They did have to line up ( less than 15 minutes)

I guess Apple has dramatically improved in terms of stocking:D
i have people from work who got it from AT&T retail stores also.

For people who don't want to sit and wait for the truck to come by..
Best Buy's pre-order sale is also good, you go in, buy a $50 gift card which you will apply for he iPhone purchase.
and you're guaranteed a phone on day 1.

So there.. a lot of options.:cool:
