Don't believe the BS. Anything at all will receive front page attention right now, including people who went got drunk at a wedding and ended up with a bent iPhone.

"But I just had it in my pocket"

Yeah. Sure you did. I bend metal with my pockets all the time.

I thought about that too lol. Maybe he sat on it and is trying to get Apple to replace it. There were other people posting the same thing but I imagine people are sitting on them.

lmao, Thanks.
 
The bottom line is Apple should have shipped ALL 10/1-10/6 Express Saver. It doesn't make sense to ship some Express and some Expedited. Treat all shipments alike if you are in that shipping window. Then all this crap wouldn't have happened.
 
Okay anyone who got a import scan and still in louisville with new deliver tomorrow 9/24, I see there is a flight leaving at around 3:46... This for people in NYC

Louisville to JFK

Hopefully my phone gets on this... It arrives in NYC at 6pm today lol

Btw I had delivery for today 9/23 but it changed to 9/24 after import scan 1:34pm arrival scan group

This I can actually agree with! Not sure why people who ordered after me (my order went through app store around 12:30 PST) by as much as 8 hours are getting their phones before me because they were given express and I was given expedited with no choice in the matter.
 
Its called jealousy.

A natural human trait as per my DNA which was a factor in all our existence and chance at birth.

As a fully functioning human being, yes, I feel this sensation in my brain still.

I don't want to see celebratory pics of your phone before I have mine if you are in any bracket, let alone especially the Oct 1 group Im in...

Part of being human, particularly an adult human, is developing the ability to overcome your baser animal instincts and learn to empathize better with your fellow humans, and suppress the negative influences of your evolutionary heritage in order to work within and conform to a functional society.

If you're going to argue that we all simply have to accept every instinct and emotional flare up because we're human, then everyone should be able to **** in the street and kill anyone who pisses them off. It's just the sensations in their brain, man.

Dunno as well but I got saver shipping...
Hopefully my phone leave on this flight to NYC

Well its 3PM EDT... I'd imagine if you aren't imported by now, you'll likely won't get your package till Thursday.

UPS might not have let them do that; they can only sell what they have capacity for.

I agree, i think a lot of the frustration is from people on here who really should have been on the OG 9/19 shipment. On top of that we were randomly assigned either saver or expedited. Apple ******* up.

Its one thing to suppress them as necessary.

But look at it from his point of view too. Him knowing we would all have to suppress that instinct, why even post it. It doesn't bring us pleasure, just challenges us to fight our inner angst and just asking us to go through that unpleasant mental process is enough to not make it worthwhile for him to post that pic because the bad feeling outweighs any good feeling we could have had after over coming the bad one.

So its both our jobs, mine not to be jealous sure, but also his not to try to make me jealous unnecessarily.
 
I'll be curious to see what happens to those of us that still don't have an import scan once planes start taking off in earnest in the next 2 hours. Even if we're left behind, they still have until 5 am to catch the morning flight, but I'd rather see my tracking update before I go to work for the night. Then I'll be staring at brown boxes all night thinking about whats going on with my own. lol

I still imagine a good 80% of your phones will get departure scans by 6 pm this evening. Hope I'm not in the 20% left over!
 
Well its 3PM EDT... I'd imagine if you aren't imported by now, you'll likely won't get your package till Thursday.

TBH, as optimistic as Wasabi was, I never really expected I'd see it earlier. Especially when shipments were getting delayed,

Speak for yourself; I have no issues with people posting pictures of their new phones or announcing success. Seems to me like this is your problem, not mine or theirs.

As I said, there are morning flights out too that can still make Wednesday service. I imagine some of those left behind will fly out then. The only question is what percentage of people after that actually don't get their phones until Thursday? Under 10%? I can't imagine it being more than that.
 
One hour 20 mins until my phone takes off from Louisville for the 2 hr flight to Orlando. I wonder if it will make it to the Customer Center before 8 p.m. Maybe they would let me pick it up this evening?

My gut feeling is, those are being taken up by 9/24 people still in the works.

We've been in this scenario every day for the last few. Instead of going on the 3.46pm flight, it will still be in Louisville tonight, and at 3am we'll be sweating it going on an overnight flight to be delivered tomorrow.

I sense some backpedaling since post 7520...

the 10% good people are always screwed they sit down not complaining the
90% bad people that always complaining calling Apple CS ties up the line but getting free cases expedite shipping
what an upside down world
 
TBH, as optimistic as Wasabi was, I never really expected I'd see it earlier. Especially when shipments were getting delayed,

I did say that some people would be left behind, but I was hoping I wouldn't be one of them. lol

I start work at 5:30 so I'll be there a few minutes early to check our internal tracking to see whats up with my phone.
