So what time is everyone planning on waking up and waiting for their package? Mine says before 10:30am Est, was thinking about waking up at 8, and letting the wait game begin?

However, even though it says before 10:30am, I really dont think it will be here until later in the day, So I am sure it is going to be a long wait on Friday.
 
Although i prefer FedEx over UPS any day. I am pretty sure almost all will make it close to their promised delivery time.
 
I wonder what's up with mine.

I ordered at about 12:25a PST, and my orders still say "Preparing for Shipment" on Apple's site. If I look them up at UPS using the reference number, it actually returns three packages instead of the two I ordered. All three originate in ZhengZhou, China. One's sitting in Louisville, the other two left Alaska yesterday.

Weirdness.
My reference number pulls up 3 tracking items (1 duplicate), and they have both left Alaska. Chances are they're sitting unscanned at the Worldport Louisville hub until Thursday afternoon.

The 1 business day left looks beautiful
"Out for delivery" will look even more beautiful. ;)
 
Yeah, I really don't expect UPS to make that 10:30 commit time. IIRC, my iPhone 4S said the same thing (ordered from Verizon) and I ended up just pacing around my apartment until UPS finally came at like 2:30 or something.

Yeah, so did mine. Went from saying "End of day" to saying nothing at all after "9/21" to saying "9/21 by 10:30 a.m.". Interesting. I pretty much figured I would get it hopefully before noon. If not noon then before 3 p.m..

Also, ordered from apple.com coming via UPS.
 
UPS.

I just hope it doesnt change again :(

Last year i got my 4s around 3:30 PM but i got home from school at 2:00 so i was stuck sitting by the door for a WHOLE hour and a half thinking if i should bake the UPS man some Cookies. lmfao jkkk

Better get your iPhones now people, because in 20 years, there won't be anyone smart enough left in the U.S. to design them.
 
where does it say that? my UPS guy doesn't come til around 8 at night so i'm always waiting for packages pretty late. would be awesome if he came early though!
 
But according to this:

Anchorage, AK, United States 09/18/2012 12:58 A.M. Departure Scan

we still havent arrived anywhere for the past 2 days? Im not worried because it still says on time and is still updating times and stuff.
 
UPS has never missed a time window when it is given to me. It's rather convenient.

That being said, mine says "by end of day"

Really skipping class for a phone is not a good reason.
