Most of the people that are a few states over from Kentucky and have expedited you package will be placed on a semi truck and driven to your city. Expedited is considered a 2nd day air and can and will be placed on a trailer. Don't worry you will have it tomorrow. If you are on the west coast then you will probably catch a flight and then a trailer the rest of the way. I am a Upser and this is what my manager told me.

My iPhone has been delivered. After spending 5 days in travel, it finally made it. And UPS didn't even make me sign for it. The driver said that it wasn't required by Apple and I didn't submit any paperwork to sign electronically.

I hope we took off. No one being able to find the flight we're on kind of worries me that we were scanned for departure but the flight hasn't taken off.

UPS schedules additional flights to transfer packages out and make sure they arrive on time.
 
Got a departure scan at 4:40 from KY. No idea where my phone is headed. Maybe to Philly where it will be loaded onto a truck and brought down to MD?
 
Does it cost money to change it from delivery to pick up at a UPS location? I just used the change delivery link in the email I got and it tried to charge me 5 bucks for changing it to pick up. They want me to pay for them to do less work?
 
SWEET!

I don't see any flights to Columbia going up though!

Maybe we just got put on a 8 hour truck ride!

It's definitely gotta be by truck. The flights for Columbia have been leaving between 3 & 5AM every morning

I just called and switched to customer pick-up. I can't wait any longer lol I will die waiting. My ups driver doesn't usually get to my house until 6-7PM
 
So I ordered the phone, I PAID for the phone with MY debit account and MINE is the name authorized to make all changes on the account, and even though I was able to change the order to will call via MY UPS account, and my driver's license will have the same address on it, but since the actual name on the box will be my wife's name (the phone account is in her name due to a contract with her corporate office), I won't be able to pick it up in the morning???

See my post about my same situation.

Apparently bringing the filled in form to authorize delivery when no one is home (see your order status page at apple store online) is what they need to have a filled out copy of to allow you to pick up the box. At least, that's what they said after I made it clear I was there for the day if they didn't release the box to me. :)
 
UPS is killing me!

My iPhone is Out for Delivery, and it says "by 3:00PM". It's 3:31. I really hope they don't screw me over even more.

EDIT: UPS just delivered! Hope everyone gets their phones soon!

Mine says 3pm as wells it's now 4. I'm getting tired of sitting in my drive way... LOL
 
Arrived about 11AM, its BIG. I love it, I have pretty big hands and it fits just about right. No dings, scratches, bends, dust, or stuck pixels just a whole bunch of awesomeness. I hope everyone enjoys theirs just as much when they arrive.

Coming into West Coast Canada in 24 hours is reasonable... I hope :)
 
Who else is waiting for departure from KSDF or KEWR?

Currently at Newark:
Inbound flights delayed at their origin an average of 1 hours 43 minutes due to runway in use.

UPS2076 currently delayed, was supposed to depart at 3:44 PM EST.
 
A UPS guy delivered a package across the street from my house while I was talking to my neighbor.

He then got into his truck and drove down the street to deliver something...
What just happened?


"No left turns" ? maybe..... wouldnt surprise me if it wasnt on another truck... I've seen that here.. one UPS truck drives in our subdivision.... and stops a few houses in... before he is done, a second one drives in... (dont ask me how thats the most efficient usage... but hey... ups is proud of their delivery management software that decides the order to deliver once out on the final truck)
