CRAP!!! What just happened!?

Got the same Exception!!

This might have to do with it coming in on a later flight during the Korea to Alaska leg due to the weather around Alaska yesterday.

The palate might get slowed down heading through customs, now.

Weather up here in northern Illinois is perfect right now...

Calling UPS now. I checked Weather.com and see nothing.

Thanks let me know what you find out.

 

[Sgt93]

WTH!?!?! I just saw the same thing!!!! I will be pissed if i dont get it tomorrow!!!!

I hear you. Lets see if they answer this phone. Ugh, I have turned into "one of them" LMAO.

 

[SatManager]

Looked at Flightaware and there is a line of UPS planes trying to get into Louisville. Hope that my phone departs on one of the flights tonight.

Mines already in Houston TX. I live in Cypress TX. So not going to jinx myself anymore.

 

[PimpGGG]

Mine was just updated and it looks like it will be here tomorrow morning! Waking up at 845 and heading to my local hub to pick it up!

EDIT: It's heading to Michigan! About 45 min south of Detroit

Weather is great in Central IL as well. I checked Louisville on Weather and looks fine. Gotta love it.

Apparently the flight out of KY to arrive in MN doesn't land for 7 hours...

Edit** I take this back, it just hasn't been scanned yet. Should already be in MN

Dudes, UK thread is just 279 pages.. We are like 3 pages away... Any they are waking up, while we are going to bed...

Come on, let's kick some UK ass!!

Ok...mine left the airport about 3hr ago and is in route to the local distribution center. Knowing the drive from Airport it should have arrived about 1hr ago and is undergoing sorting now in preparation for loading onto the local delivery truck.

UPS's logistics are pretty amazing...I do say that after watching this iPhone roll out in such detail that I have a new appreciation for those "We know logistics" commercials.

Try tracking it at iship.com or packagemapping.com and see what it says... they give more raw info that ups.com

 

[Sgt93]

Still on hold....

 

[JoshObra]

My iPhone is already in my local hub in SoCal ready for tomorrow! That was fast!

It was just over at Louisville, KY at 3:54 P.M today and it took about two hours to go from the Los Angeles main hub to my local hub!

UPS, I applaud you guys for the fast service with such a massive shipload this week.

Sitting at Distribution Center, waiting to be loaded onto truck!

Thanks for the link. Makes me worry a bit less

 

[Sgt93]

UPS's hold music is like low budget porn music.......not that I would know.

 

[danilko1]

maybe y'alls pallet got wrecked and now UPS is freaking out

Yeah some pot head was driving the fork lift and send the whole pallet over the ledge... Someone's head is going to roll.

I'm trying to sort out how it takes so long to get from Louisville to Raleigh.

I could walk faster than my package is being driven/flown/who knows.

Rickshaw?

It left Louisville at 3pm. If it's being driven (which I suspect), I guess they have to stop a zillion times before they get here... they're halfway here.

Saying the same thing. Thanks for the links. Been using Packagemapping.com but not the ship.com

Thanks let me know what you find out.

Will do. Still listening to hold (porn) music.

They also could have scanned it as "departed" but have it not actually have left yet. Especially in high volume, they may scan it as departed in order to get it out of the system in and staging for a particular vehicular mode of transport. Then at a later time that transport leaves.

No problem. You can also try doing the Live Chat on their site, if it is still live...

And the system just hung up on me. Maybe they just closed? Gotta love it.

 

[jellorocks]

only like 40 replies until we catch up with the UK

Also: I just want to thank everyone here for encouraging my craziness this past week. I've enjoyed spending my time with you all in this little corner of the internet! I hope everyone gets their phones on time tomorrow and enjoys their last few hours of crazy thread stalking here.
