I received a package from UPS this morning at 9:03 am, and it had been routed through KY last night. It departed KY at 2:27 am (EST) this morning. I expect that the iPhone currently in KY that are coming to the SF Bay Area will be departing in 28 minutes.

Did your go straight or did they rout through socal?
 
Curious: is there anyone who bought the original 3G in July of '08 who was told by AT&T that they would NOT get the upgrade refund? (I think one of the stipulations was that your bill was over $99 / mo--so don't reply if you're at the lowest rate plan)

No upgrade refund for me! I paid FULL price...ouch! Good thing I got a lot for my 3G on ebay.
 
KY to Oakland. Oakland to the local facility, and then to me.

Nice. I think mine will be on a flight from Kentucky to Burbank but it doesnt leave tille 3:20am EST or something. Gets to Burbank at 4:23am or something. Then will get on a truck to Van Nuys then To my House!
 
If it says that you will receive it by tomorrow, don't mark my words, but I'm sure you will. Sometimes FedEx cannot update the information all the time but the time given should be when you receive it.

I have had multiple experiences with UPS and FedEx where it says "billing info. received" and the scheduled delivery and nothing was updated.

Luckily my iPhone 3GS is on its way to Virginia! :)
 
I just checked my UPS tracker... says it went through an "import scan" in Kentucky at 11:28pm 6/18. I live in CA... any chance I get it tomorrow? I doubt it.

You know how many flights go in and out of Kentucky from UPS every day? You know how long it takes for a jet airplane traveling at 600+mph to get to cali? A lot of them, and not that long....relax, you'll get your phone tomorrow.

Seriously. It takes 4 hours and with the time change it takes 1 hour. So chill out.

That's plenty of time. My package this morning landed in Oakland at 3:43 and didn't leave Oakland til close to 5:30. Then had to go an hour to the local facility. I still got it at 9am.

My UPS driver this morning said that they (and I don't know if they meant the local facility or what) have 80,000 extra stops tomorrow that are iPhones.

From KY to Cleveland Hopkins airport takes 46 minutes. My house is so close to the airport I can see the planes land. It's a 2 minute drive up the street.
 
Well I just got to check my tracking again after being out for a while and it's in Louisville, KY now, scheduled as on time for tomorrow, as expected, weird there was no departure scan in AK or anything though.

Same here - just an Import Scan in KY. Should be headed west on UPS918. Should. :/
 
On the Big Truck

Mine is on the semi from Louisville to Lexington as of 1:38am. Should be arriving in Lexington before 4am, and in plenty of time to get on the Little Brown truck to my neighborhood.
 
I finally got my tracking number this morning... Says they sent the Info To FedEx, but that's it... I'm getting nervous. :(

They got our packages from China to Alaska in less time then is still left...I think they could do KY to wherever in USA without any issues. I think people here SERIOUSLY underestimate....ohhh, only one of the worlds MOST SUCCESSFUL postal services, along with FedEx.

Let me give you a little low down on UPS who couldn't possibly deliver all those phones by tomorrow! Could they?!:rolleyes:

UPS:
* Daily Delivery Volume: 15.8 million packages and documents

* Daily U.S. Air Volume: 2.3 million packages and documents

* Daily International Volume: 1.9 million packages and documents

* 7.9 million daily (1.8 million pick-ups, 6.1 million delivery)

* Delivery Fleet: 93,637 package cars, vans, tractors, motorcycles; 6,353 tractors; 21,818 trailers

* UPS Jet Aircraft Fleet: 268; 8th largest airline in the world

* Daily Flight Segments: Domestic - 1,130; International - 796

You'll get your phones tomorrow.
 
You're all SOOOO optimistic that it gives me hope, for sure. I just picture thousands of iphone filled cardboard boxes and mine being buried so deep that even Santa wouldn't get it to me on time.

I'm prepping myself for disappointment.

its like teleportation!
 
I dont know about tomorrow delivery for me. Still in progress, att.com for home delivery on 6-9. I am near Burbank.
No tracking # either.
