That's why I never pre sign. I don't want to take the chance or find out what happens if you don't receive your phone but you signed it away! Unless you have a security camera on it but still.

Ditto, especially for a $1,416.94 cell phone! People think I'm nuts for ordering, especially Android fans. These are the same people that pay half that for guns and ammunition annually. I say "whatever floats your boat". I haven'tpurchased a new phone in 3 years.

They need to up their game. :p:oops:
 
My 2 phones I believe headed to Cleveland just left! Departure from Louisville at 2:57PM!
 
Have faith people with later dates. Amazingly, my delivery date jumped from Nov16th - 24th, to "Item Shipped, delivery by Nov8th. BAM!! Have faith!! I get my phone next week when I was waiting till Thanksgiving week.

Are you T-Mobile though? I think T-Mobile orders are doomed to wait because of the demand.
 
UPS sucks. So I got on the app and selected hold for pickup, which seemed to work... but I noticed it was still also showing as scheduled for delivery. So I called UPS and they said it was restricted by Apple from being held... so I can’t hold it. I’m really confused now because the app shows my hold but it also shows a delivery.... annoying.
 
New Yorkers,

Do you think our plane will be flying into JFK or EWR?

Long time lurker; rarely post. I have tracked iPhones to Northern NJ for years with you guys. I live in NJ and work in Manhattan. UPS routes SDF-EWR for deliveries to Northern NJ and Manhattan. If you live in South Brooklyn, Queens or Long Island, it will likely find its way to JFK (sometimes through PHL).

Expect some delay after arriving Newark. It takes some time to taxi to the UPS terminal and then get unloaded and they know it is not a rush now given we were on the first flight out of SDF after the import scans (there will be many more EWR flights today that can carry launch day phones). It will then be trucked to the Secaucus hub and sit there until after midnight tonight and freak us all out. Then sometime after midnight it will be trucked to the destination CC (either go to the city, stay in Secaucus for Hudson, Passaic and Essex counties, or go to the Saddle Brook CC in my case for Bergen County) and arrive there in the overnight hours for either CC pick up or to be loaded on a truck for delivery.
 
While the exception appears on your UPS, that means the request is currently being processed

The request is processed successfully when the exception clears/disappears

How long does the request usually take to process? Phone is still in Louisville (import scan); wondering if this will affect the delivery date.

It's been posted further up thread that your hold request is pending, until it gets to the destination facility. When it sorts into trucks there a new hold for pickup label will be applied to the shipment and it'll show as available for pickup.
