I told the rep I worked for Ups and I know how the system works but couldn't figure out why my package has been stuck since Friday. I asked if he could see something on his end that I couldn't see. He read off my entire order-delivery date and address
Got a tip for us?

Now I just got off the phone with Apple. I complained that my iPhone has been stuck in Shanghai for two days. He checked it out and said according to his system it has departed Shanghai and is "end route" to me. Then he said I should get it by the 25th. He also said the 25th is a "safe" estimate and it might come earlier. Kind of a mixed message but that's what he said. I'm waiting for my 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus that has apparently been stuck for two days in Shanghai. Im one of the 12:45 am crew.
They told me the same thing and that my delivery date will be updated in the morning.
For those of you that chose hold for pick up...how do you know where to pick it up from?
This is what my tracking screen looks like:

I've scrolled all over the page and it never shows me where to actually pick it up at.

Have you picked up any packages at UPS before? Odds are, it's at that same facility.
You need to find out where the Ups Hub/Center is located near your house. You will not be looking for a Ups store.
lol, it's about midnight there right? coffee and food so you can stay up until the am delivery hour? you sir are hard core. i'd suffer for 2-3 days trying to recover from that.
I wonder if UPS has taken into account that if a lot of these are delivered tomorrow that there are going to be a lot of people not at home for them? I know I take the day off when I think it will becoming. I am off Thursday so that worked well for me, but I am not sure what I will do if mine indeed comes tomorrow or Tuesday?
Thanks man. I called and all they would tell me is that I have to wait until tomorrow to see if the info updated. She practically told me to just calm down and wait...
So I guess I'll just wait. Freaking lame. I'll probably never pre-order again. The aggravation of this bull **** is much worse than sitting out a night or so...
And i am hoping it comes early for me. I am off Mon and Tue and work the rest of the week.
12:45am crew member checking in again to fruitlessly monitor the ongoing analysis of where in the hell our future gadgets might be in the world right now and to ponder crucial life questions such as: Why hasn't my ups tracking been updated in 48 hours? Is my iphone still in Shanghai or was it on UPS81 and in Louisville now? Is tracking UPS flights with Flight Aware the same as tracking Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve, only for crazy people? And, should I start OCD therapy before or after I get the phone?

That is because certain people are hitting refresh on this thread about as often as they do the UPS tracking page....
I'm guessing flight UPS77 and they been in the US since Saturday. But apparently nobody works on the weekends to scan our phones into the system

in some ways it's better than the website... In other ways it's not. Man, I hate to say it, but I'm rethinking the 6 Plus. It's basically because I exercise a lot so I'm wearing shorts for everything. The size is just plain awkward, no two ways about it. I have a vertical holster for it from my old Galaxy Note 3 that I've been using, but the thing is huge on my waist. Around the house, going out if I'm wearing pants not a problem at all, just slip it into my pocket and it's fine. All day Friday, didn't even notice it or think it would be an issue, come Saturday morning get ready to go hiking and I'm trying to figure out how to carry it and what pocket is big enough! Repeat on Sunday morning and then again Sunday afternoon, then want to run out to Home Depot and my big phone is flopping around in my pocket (insert joke here).
I'm going to check out the 6 tomorrow. I'd hate to give up the gorgeous screen, optical image stabilizer and awesome battery life, so it's going to be a tough sell.
Anyhow, just an interlude from the normal "why hasn't my tracking info changed lately" topic
I've been questioning if the 6+ is TOO big, partially because my son just got the 6 & all my family thinks that is BIG, they say I must be crazy to get an even BIGGER phone
But I've decided to treat it like a tiny iPad, I'm just hoping it is sturdy.

I just saw the 6 to day i think it actually looks to small glad i got the 6 plus
Yeah, the 6 is like the transition from iPhone 4 to 5...just an extra row of icons....but the 6+ is a huge change!
