My package on the tracking page says shipped via "UPS Worldwide Express"


World ease is to make it easier to get through customs with big lots of identical products I thought.

Mine also says worldwide express, but it still says delivers by end of day on the tracking page for some reason.

It says "SHIPPED BY UPS WORLDWIDE EXPRESS" on the right but under "Additional Information" in the middle of the page, mine says "WORLD EASE" next to Product. Mine also delivers by the end of the day Friday.
 
Now begins a whole new set of worry for those who's orders aren't updating as quickly as some.

Yes, you see... UPS is going to randomly select a group of deliveries it plans to fulfil on time and on schedule, the rest they'll just let sit around for a day or so.

Because that's their business strategy.

No, obviously they have it logistically planned, but that doesn't mean I can't stress about it for no real reason!
 
this same thing happened to me and i have been worrying all week! but now it shows that my phone was just picked up in middletown, PA and will be here by 10:30 tomorrow!

You're lucky! Mine has to go through Middletown, PA to reach me in central PA and it's still in Kentucky. I ordered at 4:30 am on Oct 7. I was also told by UPS that I would receive it end of day :(

Click on the link where it says "Shipped by: UPS Worldwide Express" It says the delivery commitment is between 10:30 AM and Noon.

That committment is not applicable to these iPhone orders. A UPS rep said that because of them having to deliver 1 million+ iPhones tomorrow they cannot meet that committment, which is why every tracking order says "by the end of the day."
 
Since it's been asked and answered at least (seriously) 100 times in this thread, here it is in big letters:

THESE SHIPMENTS ARE NOT USUAL WORLDWIDE EXPRESS.
THEY ARE WORLD EASE, WHICH HAS UNIQUE COMMITMENT TERMS.


THE TERMS FOR OUR PACKAGES ARE:
DELIVERY BY END OF DAY.


Okay? So can we stop going in circles on this question?
 
I don't believe anyone has a confirmed departure from Louisville yet. At least not with a screenshot.

Looks like mine departed from Chek Lap Kok at 4:25 pm local time. I'm still set to receive my phone by the end of the day. I wish I could look up what flight that is and where it is going to.
 
We're reaching the end here guys, We have less than 24 hours until the majority of us get our iPhones (Or they are at least loaded onto the delivery truck)

It has been... interesting.

I changed up my work schedule so I can get off earlier... I can't wait to mess with Siri!
