Yes a common trilobite sold from Moroccan dealers.


I think your customs might be from a different time? Mine showed up right after leaving Korea yesterday, so the tracking is a bit wacky. Can you user follow my package. Would not work for me today of course so I could not obsess over where he was and why did driver bypass neighborhood LOL
yeah I dont have that option either, but I dont always in general so its hard to say the reason.
 
For those still stuck in China:

UPS MyChoice main page has updated mine to a 10/4 delivery time, but when I click into it it says come back for a delivery date later.

No movement, still shows package in transit in ZZ with 9/30/2021 1:11am status (same as yesterday)

So, if Monday happens, it will need to go from ZZ to Louisville more than likely by Saturday to catch the flight to Dallas Sunday and delivery Monday.

Still tracking like crazy!
 
Damn it UPS, why do you hate me so. I wanted it for Saturday!! 😭

Skipped straight from the first to the 4th.

What are the chances it’ll change back

While the UPS site has no official date, I did just receive the UPS notification email of a delivery coming...10/4.

If that happens, I'll take it. 2 days before the delivery window opened anyways.

No movement since late yesterday, but there's a lot of hours from now until Monday afternoon.

Well my journey is over the phone is here and I am doing the direct transfer as I write from my 12 ProMax to the new 13 ProMax 1TB. Very interesting but my driver was a bit surprised it came that fast like I told him yesterday when he delivered my return box. He noted also there was a label on side next to the original 9/25 label from china that had my phone expedited overnight. I had been working with apple executive in customer support after writing about my once again missing opening day after not getting in til 5 minutes past (and having all the preapproval done) she has been quite helpful and answer some questions other than those only UPS could answer and told me a day ago had moved my order up the change to a couple of higher ups. Maybe they expedited this order for me maybe it was just this batch well sometimes being a polite squeaky wheel seems to have its benefits perhaps.

What if you placed an order a few days ago here in the US? Apple is saying first week in NOV! Will that remain or move up? its seems apple is really backordered?
 
Very cool! I have a pretty low quality fossil I bought in the middle of nowhere in Morocco a few years ago for not much money and a few others kicking around here as well.

Ugh so it’s been stuck in customs clearance since 8:45am PST

my fingers are numb from hitting refresh.

I am resigned to the fact that there’s no way it’ll get here until next week. Here’s hoping it’s Monday and not Wednesday.

it’s funny, in a month from now this will all be deeply in the past and seem insane that I was anxious about getting my phone.

god I hate and love this feeling at the same time. Sigh.
