I might be a little paranoid...every car/truck that passes I quickly look out the window to see if its the brown guy
I thought about going outside but my apartment faces right where the truck will be so when I see him I can go running like a maniac and greet him!!
The UPS updates haven't been that accurate. Mine had an arrival scan at 6:24 then out for delivery at 6:25. Call me crazy, but it takes more than a minute to unload a truck scan all the items in, then load items on to a new truck for delivery.
So I wouldn't worry too much about their updates. However, as people have said the reports on the validity of the 1030 guarantee seemed to vary a bit.
I have a Foscam IP camera aimed out front, and have it open on one of my monitors. Haha
i wouldn't worry
mine left Philly at 3:31am bound for Maryland.....still in limbo....was hoping it would be with our usual business UPS delivery but looks doubtful
Hmmm. Right when mine changed to "Out for Delivery" the time also changed from 10:30am to now "By the end of the Day". This is going to be one long ass day.
Has anyone actually called or spoke to ups if this 1030 is guaranteed? My package is shipping via ups worldwide express and it says guarantee morning delevery of 1030 or 1200
You over by Oviedo/UCF/WP if so we may be on same truck! Let the stake outs begin!
My home office window has a view of the front courtyard. Last time my wife's 4S was delivered before noon. My friendly neighborhood FedEx man told me he had over 1500 iPhones on his truck alone (and that everyone was staying home and waiting for him!). This time it is UPS, who comes around here several times a day....
4:27 AM Out For Delivery!

I have and I remember reading several posts that also said reps said it's guaranteed. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed-in my neighborhood UPS usually makes the business deliveries first. I took the morning off just to wait, have to run to work as soon as it arrives.
It's weird because some people are claiming that it is accurate others are saying the rep they spoke too said it will not be guaranteed by 1030 (guaranteed or what would be my question).
From my experience, if something is shipped Next Day Air it will have a guaranteed delivery time. If it is shipped next day air saver like my phone and a lot of other were they only guarantee a time for business deliveries. Otherwise they say by end of day which says is 3:00 PM for residential, however I have gotten shipments well past 3 in the past.
So it's really up in the air still, i think the issue is that not everyones phone was shipped via the same method or shipping service so the reps are getting confused as to whose shipment is really guaranteed.

Mine is in transit to Alexandria as of 2:46 AM. My UPS comes around 5pm usually so I've got a while.
No, I'm just east of Longwood down 434. The Bennett facility is probably about 10 miles from my house. Happy delivery day, hope it goes smoothly!
