Was just able to finally track my two iPhones in China tonight and noticed they're being shipped "UPS Worldwide Express". When checking the UPS site on what this service is, it guarantees morning service between 10:30 AM till Noon.
Makes me wonder if they'll be delivered that early since typically UPS takes all day to get to my place. Scheduled date of delivery says, "10/14 by the end of the day" but I hope it's not XD
These are our first iPhones and we're rather excited. Want to try out Siri.
I commented on this back on page... 10 or something. Anyway, I figure the "End of Day" is a fail safe for Apple and UPS with so many expected shipments they'll be running behind and ALL of them can't be before noon. HOWEVER, maybe if your route doesn't have a lot of iPhones being dropped off or if you're in an area that didn't have a huge number of preorders, the supply chain already is setup for early AM service and I would guess these packages will still get the same service level treatment, so... maybe!
