I've departed KY...

Now I am just waiting on the Forest Park, GA Arrival Scan from the flight to Hartsfield Jackson.....

Then it should go straight to Gainesville, Ga to be Out for Delivery tomorrow...:D
 
Completely Agree. People who ordered after me already have there's. Why do some get special delivery and others don't

Honestly I don't care. If I ordered through Verizon mine would've come a week later like everyone was actually quoting.. I can live with being bumped back a day considering we shipped way early in the first place.
 
Do we have an option to pickup anywhere tonight. I do have the UPS choice thing, but is there anywhere in Brooklyn to get it ?

It goes to the hub in brooklyn at Canarsie... We won't be getting today cause they close at 6pm and most likely it will still be in the container..
 
I don't need to be a UPS employee to highly suspect that ALL 9/25'ers are being intentionally held back.
 
Just general knowledge of how UPS operates after 15 years with the company. We tend not to pile stuff up in a corner because the next day there will be even more piling up. We work until the job is done unless there's some factor that precludes getting everything out that day, like weather, etc.

For example, I typically work a 4 hour shift, but I have had days where I've worked 13 hours during the holidays because we had to get everything out. Obviously stuff can go wrong. Your plane could crash so I can't say anything with 100% certainty, but if you're picturing a UPS building as an empty warehouse with room to stack giant palettes of iPhones, you're not picturing it correctly. Watch as many people get departure scans the next 2 hours and hope you're one of them. Like I said, I'm right there with you. Frustrating that my phone is one of the ones with no activity since last night, but I know that they're operating on all cylinders there right now, because as soon as they finish this batch there's hundreds of more batches behind it.

Yes, but as the supervisor says, if its shipped 2nd day air, it has to sit somewhere for a day. Shipping overnight then its going. Clearly they are saying everyone for Thursday delivery are 2nd day air, and therefor sitting.

I agree... they are definitely operating on a process that is prioritizing the delivery dates of 9/23 and 9/24. The lack of a single 9/25 import scan on this board is a very strong indication of that.

I don't think they are being intentionally held back, at least the way you're saying.

I think the plane is loaded in delivery order, and they are hitting the belts first.
 
October was Apple's extremely rough estimate. Once UPS got it, it their responsibility to deliver in a timely manner. UPS does not seem capable of delivering this many orders at once in a timely manner. For future launches, Apple should contract both UPS and Fedex to share the load equally.

My point is specific to Apple and their role in delivery. They didn't botch the delivery process. They upheld their promises, and beat their own estimates. Marketing 101: under-promise and over-deliver. They did.

Equally likely, but right now I'd wager that no one with 9/25 date is getting it tomorrow. No one.

Maybe the flights going out today/tomorrow are nearly at capacity (they probably are...not to mention the cluster**** that is US customs), hence the 9/25'ers have to wait?

Love how we have all these experts now!! This is great, lol...

Also, I have a domestic game on order. Its delivery got moved up a day, so clearly it's not sitting around.

As I've said before, there was a cluster **** with the Friday shipment from China for some reason. That impact is being felt in KY today.
 
#Team520 UPDATE:

Our flight to Anchorage has been delayed 1hr 40mins and it wont leave until 6AM KST (exactly 1 hour from now), but still says on time for 7:13PM arrival tonight. SO. We could be on our way to Kentucky but they have to hurry.

I'm not about to start patting Apple on the back. The pre-order was a total cluster F. Their website didn't even open for 2.5 hours. Then they inexplicably sent some of our packages with different priority.

Apple has bloody hands in this mess. Sure, I'm a fan of the company but I do not feel 9/12 was handled well at all.
