You would think that, but apparently there was an HM10 (hazmat spill and cleanup afterwards) in one of the wings of the Louisville hub early this morning and it delayed some stuff.

Just hoping my phone isn't bathing in toxic acid right now. Having to wait for ANOTHER phone would definitely be insult to injury.

LOLOLOLOL!!!

I was thinking the very same thing but had some doubt being on the west coast but still I thought we had a chance to get our phones on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. It doesn't appear to be the case now. :(

The funny thing is is that without Flight Aware and this thread, I would have been blissfully ignorant and happy I was getting my package on the 25th rather than in October so FlightAware and this thread just served to create complete chaos....but I LOVED IT!!! LOL :D
 
Oh ok . Well I'm going to assume it will be here Thursday . If it comes tomorrow then it will be a pleasant surprise

Based upon no import scans yet, and no departures yet I am not sure it would arrive tomorrow but then again, it does have a chance yet to happen. When it does happen it will happen fast i believe. I have a feeling we will see something tonight even if over night.;)
 
UPS sent me an email saying my package will be delivered tomorrow ... which is Thursday so ... still coming the day most inconvenient ...

I have a question though ... I requested will call pick up ... and now I'm being told "delivered" thursday ... (Changed this before using MyUPS ..) is there anything that hasn't been set right ... I'm not home all day on Thurs .. would much rather pick it up when i get a small window ...
 
GOD! GOT ANOTHER IMPORT SCAN......

Louisville, KY, United States 09/23/2014 11:47 P.M. Import Scan

See I think it's just a robot email lol
 
Well hopefully my phone was on the top of a pallet at that point. Definitely will be checking it thoroughly for any signs of damage just in case. Hopefully nobody's phone took a bath.

Agreed. They're good about segregating and decontaminating stuff during a cleanup, but even if it was a bucket of kerosene (happened at my building before) that spilled on their unload belt, the entire belt would have to wait while they cleaned it, for example. So yeah, heading to bed and just gonna see whats up in the morning. Good luck everybody, maybe a few of you will get some shipped out on the night shift. Also, grats to all the people that got their phones today, and got them shipped out today for delivery tomorrow.

Wth. Just got an import scan in Louisville after having a departure scan in Newark. I can't understand how ups works. My phone arrived in Louisville yesterday got an import scan and then departed to Newark. Arrived and then re departed Newark and now another import scan in Louisville. My phone is to be delivered today in NYC..... Anyone with this sh*****t

I just looked up on the internet what can delay customs to clear our packages and found out these points. I hope we don't have these problems. :eek:

Proximity to a major holiday - - NO I don't think so
incomplete invoice or packaging information on behalf of sender has a prob. Maybe

Duty to be collected --- N/A for us
Package seized and opened for closer inspection.... Hmmm Do you think they are inspecting our iPhones to get a look at them.. :D Probably not but was funny to think about.
 
Alright. #Team520 here.

I ordered two phones and only ONE left Incheon at 912AM EST while the other phone did not as still awaiting departure. I'm beginning to think UPS is playing eeny, meeny, miny, moe with the iPhone pallets because the one that left Incheon was ordered a day after my initial order.

The one still in Incheon ordered 9/13
