Anyone thinking of flying to the FedEx hub in Alaska to try and get their iPhone?

[LIVEFRMNYC]

I saw that my iPhone landed on a plane in Alaska this evening. I checked a few flights, and I found a cheap same-day roundtrip flight to Alaska tomorrow...so I'm thinking I might try to go up there and see if I can convince someone at the FedEx hub to let me pick up my package early. If not, I can still make it back home tomorrow night before it gets too late.

Obviously I'll need to bring my tracking number, my ID and a winter coat. But other than that, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the plane ticket.

Anyone else planning on flyin up there tomorrow?

I'll pay for your flight if you promise to pimp slap Sarah Palin.

Man, I wish I had that kind of money that I could just throw away a few hundred just for the (very) off chance I might get something a few days earlier.

If you really have that much money to spare, care to buy me a new 4S? Pleaaaase?!

You don't really need a winter coat yet, it's not that cold in Anchorage in October. Plus you won't be there long.

Anyway why not just go hang out in a bar in Cupertino and see if you get lucky.

Or a Mexican Resturant

Road trip! I'd join you, but I have a morbid fear of sled dogs. Good luck!

I'll see you up there, honey. Real Apple Fanboys get their iPhones a week ahead of schedule.

 

[MorganB]

Do it. I want a trip report with photos!

Funny.....

 

[Mattyk182]

One of the funniest things I've ever read!

 

[VenusianSky]

This would be the most ultimate fanboy act. Do it.

People here on macrumours forums are all too quick to type "troll".. I don't give a ***** if its a troll post or not..

IMO its the funniest post I've seen all day!

I'm not saying it would be funny if the plane to Alaska crashed...

Actually I am saying that.

It is at customs. No way you would be able to get it. But if you do decide to go youtube it. It will go viral!

I hear the lineup is right out the door and 3 times around the FedEx igloo

 

[BiscuitsNGravy]

I'll just take a quick sub orbit flight. Should get me there in 20 minutes or less.

Reasonably priced, somewhere around a million dollars.

 

[Navdakilla]

wow, this is funny.

They won't give you it

fail

 

[DollaTwentyFive]

And I thought I was bad for stalking the FedEx TRUCK. This is a whole new level.

 

[Pooshka]

OP, shouldn't you have been in Shenzhen like 3 days ago?

 

[macingman]

This is impossible. Also why not wait 3 days and save your time and money on the plane ticket?

 

[rockyroad55]

Can you create a blog documenting your trip?

As one of the guys who will watch your phone come off the plane in Louisville (and trust me, watch your shipping status... it will), your phone will NEVER even get off the plane in Alaska. The pallet itself was scanned in and they know your item is on there. They never scanned your package so even though it is in Alaska, it will be heading here to Kentucky very, very soon will it will be kept in a warehouse til it is sent back out Thursday by plane or truck to your destination city.

I PROMISE, this is how it works. Watch your tracking status!

 

[cottington]

Alaska? Loser. I'm just about to board a redeye to Shenzhen.

lol

I bet they don't even unload the plane. Just enough to clear customs. I would guess it's probably going straight from Alaska to either Louisville or Memphis.

Dude, are you ready to go yet? I think this picture will motivate you! It's all in fun! Nobody was harmed during the trip to or from Alaska.

I don't care if this is fake, it had me laughing quite a bit. Kudos to you OP with such a great thread.
