What tends to be the window that UPS delivers leading up to 10:30am? From experience, does UPS deliver by 10:30 or do they usually run late?

I think it depends what time ups runs your area I think they are on a schedule? Not sure though
 
Anybody know when they start delivering? I live in SF and nobody's in our office til 9-9:30. Don't want to miss by it being an early delivery.
 
Mine now says Friday, 09/21/2012, by 10:30 A.M.

First: Friday, 09/21/2012
Second: Friday, By End of Day
Third: Friday, 09/21/2012
Now: Friday, 09/21/2012, by 10:30 A.M.

Hey it's looking better!!!! Some improvement...

However it still says: It's been in the air for the last 44 hours! Maybe it's flew around the world....

With a modern jet, how how many times can it go around the world in 44 hours?

I don't pay much attention to delivery time because it will vary depending on the driver's route, but it's pretty cool that mine just changed from "End of Day" to "Before 10:30 AM".

How are you seeing the time frame for shipment? I signed in ups and even for the free mychoice membership, but still no showing a timeframe for shipment.
 
I cannot believe the response for a phone. It seems most responding in this thread are getting theirs on Friday, but now it's going to be down to jealousy of a 10:30am delivery vs 3pm delivery?! Think of all those that have to wait the "shipping in 2 weeks". Holy geez.
 
Has anyone else NOT been able to ever see your tracking page on the UPS website? I have tried every phone number that I can think of and my order number, but nothing ever comes up. My Apple order page says "preparing for shipment" like everyone else, but it looks like everybody here except for me can also see where their iPhone is on the UPS website too.

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not...
 
Do you have a registered UPS account? I do and when I am not logged in, I get the same time as you, but when I am logged in it changes to 10:45-2:45.

But I gotta say I am VERY jealous of those who have switched to before 10:30. But of course still happy to get mine on Friday late morning/early afternoon.

Mine has changed to between 1pm and 5pm. Really wishing it would have gone to before 1030am

I'm still "Processing Items" and "Delivery 9/21". Nothing at UPS.com/Fedex.com using those methods. I'm still feeling okay about it, for now.
 
You can start moving again at any point, iPhone. Thanks. :(

Interesting...

The lost Alaska flight seems to have found a wormhole.

Quite a few people have this. I suspect these phones are in Ontario, CA. UPS59 went down there and it had the same arrival time, right around 3:00pm.

I would be more worried that you spent time writing what you just wrote.

Nope, they haven't left Louisville. That flight was just going there anyway. That 3:06 PM time you see was it's arrival from HK to AK. (Notice it was on 9/17)
 
I'm sorry.

I was just asking. :)

Several people are unable to determine what their tracking number is OR their phones just aren't in the tracking system yet. Don't worry about it, if you got confirmation from Apple it's arriving on 9/21 it will be there.
 
I was okay with "end of day"...I was going to go about my business, go to work from 8-5, feel okay that my iPhone would be at home waiting for me.

NOW, with this new 10:30am thing...I may just be...*cough*...feeling a little ill.
 
Mine also says by 10:30 AM now. That would be fabulous.

This is the default delivery time for UPS Worldwide Express which was the delivery method most of our phones used. But I think the actualy commitment is end of the day so I wouldn't get my hopes too high.
