Mine still "Prepared for Shipment" and Delivers by June 19th. Should I start to worry ?
I just want my 3.0 firmware cut and paste! The wait is killing me.

Mine still "Prepared for Shipment" and Delivers by June 19th. Should I start to worry ?
Just realized that the shipment arrival time is no longer showing on the UPS tracking. Wonder if this is the big delay?? Hold till Friday? Or UPS and Apple are tired of taking calls about it?

Right. I can understand the possibility IF it gets flown all the way to Florida, as opposed to being dropped off on the west coast.
Then there's the whole customs issue. I really have no clue on how it works for what i'm assuming is a fleet of cargo planes coming into the US filled with these phones, but that certainly has to have some delay to it.
Don't they usually include a sticker on the actual shipping package that says: "Do not deliver before 6/19/09"
If so... unless the carrier ignores the shipper's instructions, they won't be delivered until the date prescribed. The tracking computers don't have this information. It's part of the human element of delivery.
Why would that be. I've ordered plenty of things shipped from china 2nd day and it arrives on time.
Actually, it does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldport_(UPS_air_hub)
Although to be technical, everything goes through the port, not the actual HQ.
Uh...no, I SERIOUSLY doubt the delivery date shown is in China time. I think this customer service rep was confused about what you were asking. In general customer service reps don't know jack anyway. You'll find 100 different stories on this same forum.
UPS is no little fly-by-night international shipper. The shipment tracking page is a tool used by customers all over the world to figure out when they will get their packages. I would sure hope UPS got that part straight by now.
The only times in China times are the package progress steps that took place in China.
So this is how it works.
The packages are being shipped from China, probably going to Louisville to clear thru customs. Once the all the individual shipments that make up the one big shipments arrives they will be cleared.
So does that mean they will be held in customs for a day or two (delay them until the 19th)? Or does the tracking information reflect the time spent in customs?
