I never said I would personally take action, but with a large number of people experiencing the same thing it's bound to have legal ramifications somewhere along the line.
Got a tip for us?

That would be correct. A Verizon iPhone 6 16GB in Space Grey to be exact. I don't really need more than 16GB so yeah.
I actually can agree, and am confused by that as well. I was originally given an estimate of October 15th-20th from Apple, however.
It is what it is I guess. I'm just glad my phone finally has gotten moving. It sat in Shenghai for 3 days, got delayed and rescheduled. I still don't have a new delivery estimate from UPS.
Oh and I ordered a 5th gen iPod touch when it came out, it did some extremely whacky things as well. if I can remember correctly, it went to Anchorage, to Nashville Tenessee, back to Anchorage, and then it went to Kentucky, then it came up to me in New York.
No, it's not 'bound to have legal ramifications'.
UPS didn't force anyone to stay at home and UPS isn't deceiving anyone.
The things people dream up. 🙄
No way in hell, a judge would literally laugh at you. Not to mention your damages would be nearly impossible to prove and even if ~20,000 people all had this happen (and could prove they HAD to stay home or they would be damaged) the potential damages wouldn't cover the cost of prosecuting a class action lawsuit.

Did you miss the part where I said I was not personally thinking of legal action? No judge would be laughing since I would not be in a courtroom to begin with.

My point is that no one will be taking action. UPS didn't make you stay home and even if they did, there aren't enough people affected to make a lawsuit economical. Not to mention that you (and everyone else) have surely agreed to arbitrate any claims. Most likely you have also waived your right to bring a claim as a class as well.
Not everything that is wrong in the world can (or should) result in a lawsuit. You're the one that brought up the idea, so obviously you were thinking about it.
Except that they subsequently gave me an earlier date and then changed it, and now there is no date at all. They really have no right jerking customers around like that regardless of whether they are living up to the letter of the law.

And so what if I was thinking about it? People in here are ready to jump on you over every goddamn remark. You people are too much. I'm done with this forum.
I ordered an iPhone6 on Sept 25, it shipped on Sept 26.
Apple's original delivery date was Monday, Oct 6th. Crap, had to wait through a weekend. Oh, well.
When there was tracking information from UPS, they estimated Thursday, Oct 2nd. Great, before the weekend.
Like others, the delivery date then disappeared, bounced around, perhaps due to the typhoon or the volcano eruption in Japan affecting air travel.
Through all these 'tribulations' it was actually just delivered, only 1 day later than UPS originally estimated, keyword = estimated.
I've asked my legal team to stand down and focus on gathering evidence to sue the Easter Bunny next Spring when he fails to deliver the estimated number of eggs, Hershey Kisses and yellow, marshmallow peeps.😀
