I live in CA mine has says preparing for shipment 3 days delivers 9/25. How can it get here by Friday?

I'm assuming it goes to Alaska then Louisville and then to respective destinations. I'm in California too.

If it lets say reaches Alaska by tomorrow morning, and then departs for Louisville, that takes less than a day. You still have Thursday and they can ship it to your local UPS by Thursday night. And out for delivery on Friday.

Possibly. There's a UPS77 that just left PANC for Ontario, so there is the possibility that it gets processed at the west coast hub instead of in SDF.

BL.
 
Planes... I've had packages go from China to Canada in 2 days.

Keep in mind the planes cross the date/time line and go back a "day". So these phones shipping on the 23rd will arrive in North America by the 23rd.

I'm in California I just thought it would have been shipped by now.
 
If your Apple Order says Preparing to Ship, chances are your phone is already in transit. I logged in to UPS.com and they had tracking numbers for both phones I ordered.

Life is too short to be this anxious. You'll get your phone on time. And 2 hours after it arrives, you'll be all Meh about it. Just like 9AM on Christmas morning.
Dude...don't harsh my mellow! Tracking is half the fun!

Did you register just to tell us all that? Aw, how adorable.
 
I think the Atlas Air flight is the one holding these phones. It departed at 8:17 AM and most of us had our phones leave at 7:33. Alaska here we come!

Well, if you are right. Lots of iPhones.

I do remember tracking this plane in years past.

Label created on... 9/24/15? Are the Apple warehouse people time travelers? :confused:

my Choice UPS package status (Rose Gold 64GB 6S+):
ZhengZhou, China 09/23/2015 7:33 A.M. Departure Scan.
Anyone recommend or not using "Pickup my package at a UPS location" on 9/25?

Depends. You can step through the process on MyUPS and see if it would delay your shipment. For me, having it diverted anywhere close would delay the shipment till Monday.
