Someone from UPS Chat told me tonight that if I wanted to make any changes that I would have to call Apple. Should I just call UPS directly?
EDIT: UPS just told me i have to call apple and they'll tell them.. weird

Request to the original poster to add a poll with options of having departed from Louisville, KY and at the local UPS hub. That way no one would need to search the entire posts
Can't add a poll after the fact.
Do we know that UPS will deliver by 10:30??? Mine says, by the end of the day.
Do some ppl have 10:30 in their tracking #? I'm banking on UPS delivering @ 5:30 like always
Those people have a "My UPS" acct.
To get my phone delivered to me at work, I temporarily change my att and apple account to my work address the night before they are available for sale. Once delivered, I change it back to my home address.

I wouldn't bank on getting your normal delivery time. My driver normally comes between noon and three p.m. to drop off packages, but my iPhone 4S didn't make it to my door until 8:45 p.m. the last launch day. It was a crappy, crappy wait!
My order still is showing up on UPS as:
Location Date Local Time Activity
Addison, IL, United States 09/17/2012 6:00 P.M. Departure Scan
Addison, IL, United States 09/16/2012 5:39 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 09/16/2012 9:03 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
I know they say all phones will be delivered on 9/21, but what happens if they're not? Get a "it was a busy day for us, be happy you have the phone, tho" from Apple?

My tracking info says that it will deliver by 12:00, but it really doesn't matter to me. It will get here when it gets here. Not that I won't be sitting close to the window...
But what date??? Did you you have a 9/21 date in there all along, or was it October?
No you can't fools. And ups won't accept a signed info notice for apple deliveries. Apple requires a signature at time of delivery.
if you're gonna the address where your phone is gonna be delivered or anything that has to do with your phone, you have to call apple.. They are the ones who sent it so UPS will ask you to contact them.. I changed the address and Apple helped me through the process.. they contact UPS and they will fix it for you.. but DO IT NOW! Cuz they will start shipping everything tomorrow!
Obviously you didn't read our post. Yes the system says world wide express but if that is true then that doesn't make sense since world wide express is like normal air. Where as the correct level of service for air delivered by end of day is world wide saver
Still haven't landed from Alaska.... anyone have any insight? I hope we're marked as shipped tomorrow.....
I'm doing so now... again, I had Apple change it once because it was going to my PO Box but then UPS said it wouldn't be delivered until Monday. So now I am calling Apple again to have them tell UPS to hold it at my local UPS facility. This stuff is stressful.
UPS is holding all iPhone deliveries until Friday, so there probably won't be any updates until the night before shipment.
Ah well See what apple can do. Never heard of a shipper requesting a package hold for pickup. Gl
You can look at the first page of this thread (page 1), there is status there.
The Monday night and Tuesday night Anchorage to Louisville flights both landed in Louisville. We're fine.
This is typical UPS, I cringed when I realized Apple used UPS instead of FedEx. Apples always used FedEx, a far better courier IMO.
I've had items in UPS stop tracking mid way and then show up as out for delivery the day of or show as delivered the day after I get the item. UPS tracking can be as bad as USPS at times.
Wrong. I called UPS and they said I need to wait until apple sends it to me, then I am all set. UPS will accept it.
Ordered around the same time, and mine left TN about then for San Antonio. Our phones are hanging out together on the same truck
Hopefully they start moving this way in the next 24 hours.
My 2 iPhones are in the same status exactly, heading to Rochester, NY. Are you in the same area?
You can look at it as, from Apple's and UPS's point of view, nothing has shipped yet. There is staging areas and Apple has had some phones moved there and labels have been printed and set up just to get a head start on Friday. We have back door visibility into where some phones are, but all packages are on hold until Apple gives UPS the go-ahead to "ship".

A couple posters earlier in this thread reported that Apple requested that their package be held for pickup. It wasn't clear if the packages could be picked up Friday or if they had to wait till the next business day, however (Saturday or Monday).
