I am assuming the "other person" is me lol. I have not seen any updates since KY, so =/ it's either it's in NJ now and we aren't going to receive an update till tonight at midnight, UPS is going to pull some magic, or we are getting a delayed delivery.

Mine arrived in Morristown at 3 pm today. So, I'm assuming it will be at the Tinton Falls hub on Monday for delivery.

Hopefully get to us Monday. Already request the day off

I wish I could do that, but money is tight. My mother will have to sign for the package while I am in class/work. I will get home at around 11:30, hopefully the phone will be waiting for me. I have my Body Guardz ready for it, and I have a Belkin Reveal ordered, should arrive Wednesday. Can't wait!

Hopefully all our phones come in perfect condition, no yellow screens or scratches.
 
Weird... My package got to Tulsa today (where I live) and them headed to OKC. I just checked it again and all tracking history is gone except for a location scan in China 5 days ago... Anyone else's happen like this?
 
I think the issue is that when ppl preorder they expect to get it before ppl who didn't. The reservation thing is great. I was able to pick one up for my dad this week but the one I ordered for my wife on the 14th is still not here. I wish they announced the reservation system earlier. Last preorder for me as we'll unless I get guarantee delivery on launch day.

Unfortunately for me in Canada, order direct from Apple was the only way to get an unlocked off contract. The closest Apple Store is a 6hr drive away, and only sold contracted phones. Carriers would sell off contract phones, but locked to a carrier.

Next time I won't bother with preordering, that's for darned sure. This has been the biggest fiasco yet. And I've ordered plenty from Apple in the past.

My order went thru at 1:53 am MDT on Sep 14 and confirmation from Apple in their email stated delivery by 10/05. Yet people who ordered, direct from Apple, after me, have their new 5's already!

There is no rhyme or reason to the shipping of these phones. None!
 
Those with oct 1 date with an import scan currently; will get to see it leave AK and reached your areas central hub and out for delivery in a day.
 
The wait is nearly over. I just hope they deliver it to the right building. UPS seems to occasionally deliver personal stuff to the District Office instead of the High School as addressed. Odd really.
 
Like the other NJ person, I see nothing departed from KY. What is the departure and flight information if any and where is it going? :eek:

The other person's concern Monday may not see the delivery looks like it's in play. Like that person, no departure from KY seen.

My phone still hasn't left Kentucky and it has to get to the NY/NJ border. Sigh. I'm going to be so mad if my phone doesn't get here by tomorrow afternoon. This has been a total nightmare :(
 
Mine just updated with another import scan??

Louisville, KY, United States 09/30/2012 1:33 P.M. Import Scan
Louisville, KY, United States 09/29/2012 3:20 A.M. Import Scan
 
nothing says love...

like double the scans in Louisville. Well on my block, UPS usually comes midday but can't see how that happens unless something goes down in Kentucky soon.

Otherwise their will be some late day deliveries Monday or likely coming on Tuesday. :rolleyes:

I just got the second import scan, too. Hopefully this means its moving. I'm going to be so pissed if this phone takes another day for it to get to me when it's been sitting in Kentucky. Sigh.

Everyone needs to just stop looking at the tracking lol. Just go with your delivery estimate and take it up with UPS if it doesn't show up. Since Apple gave us all the Oct 5th delivery date, they are in the clear unless it shows up Oct 6th. So pretty much, everyone is getting their phone this week, we should all just chill out cause, at the end of the day, it's just a phone lol
 
Maybe the end of this wait is near. I woke up on Sept 14th at 4 am EST (one hour after pre-order started). Purchased the phone and was given a date of Oct 2nd as delivery. Later in the week the delivery date changed to Oct 5th. Since then I have closely watched the shipping updates. On Friday it arrived in Charlotte (30 minutes from where I live). It had gone from China to Hong Kong to Alaska to Kentucky to Charlotte, NC. Then it suddenly went to Greensboro, NC which is about 2 hours away. Last update on Saturday said it was in Greensboro. And the delivery date is Oct 1st. I'm guessing it is making it's way back from Greensboro to Gastonia where sometime tonight (Sept 30) it will be put on the truck for delivery. I preorder so I could avoid waiting in line that day of the 14th. I should have waited in line cause this has been a long few weeks.

Yes it is "just a phone" but it is something I have been looking forward to for a while and it is a great distraction from the daily work world. Yes I am taking the day off tomorrow so I can be here when it delivers. My guess is that it will deliver late in the afternoon.

Sorry to hear that. You were in the same ride with me from HK to KyY. FYI my phone is already at local distribution center in California so I'm confident I will get it tomorrow. Best of luck to you!
 
On the road again!

I tell ya, this phone has more miles than it should ;)

But I think it's being trucked from Winnipeg to Regina (there is no flight west today, yet it's moving). Then if it's all good, and hits Regina by the wee AM hours, it *should* hit the truck for delivery out here in the boonies.

No delivery estimate again, UPS giving up? Or do they remove the estimate when the device is In Transit (and then apply it again when it's reached "a" destination)?

IF it does arrive tomorrow, I'll be happy. I work tomorrow, at THE place where it's being delivered by Purolator :D

IF it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I've made some $$ anyhow :)
 
This is the new one replacing my stolen iPhone5 off the UPS truck.

According to an email sent to me from Apple, They're sending it as priority. The "express" shipping states specific delivery times. I assume they'll stick to their word.

Mine finally departed Kentucky at 4:13pm. Can't find a flight to Newark. My guess is there is either a truck or its waiting for a flight. Still says Monday end of day.

And yes, it's just a phone...but I ordered my new phone because my current iPhone 4's home button has been dying a slow and painful death. I need a new phone badly!

Glad to hear it! Have fun with your new phone tomorrow! I know I will!

UPS lost my iphone 5 as well. I was supposed to get it on 25th Sep, Apple send a replacement one on 26th and it is supposed to be delivered tomorrow by 10.30AM, I'll post here as soon as I have it...
 
My phone is at my hub that is four minutes down the road from me. I would pick it up myself but they said they have to make one delivery attempt first.

Since I'm so close, do you think I'll be the first on the truck's route? I don't want to be waiting all day...
